13. INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER USE
Chain sharpening with a file
ATTENTION! Poorly sharpened teeth edges increase the risk of recoil!
General instruction on saw sharpening
Never cut wood using a saw with blunt chain. In case it is necessary during cutting to
apply more strength, the reason is that chain teeth are blunt. Another indicator of saw blunt is
generating sawdust instead of shavings.
At cutting, sharp cuts generate large shavings and penetrate wood smoothly.
The chain part that do cutting is called a cutting link. It consist of a tooth (Fig. 21, A)
and depth gauge (Fig. 21, B). The difference between those two elements is key for cut depth.
When sharpening saw with a file, pay attention to:
- upper slice angle
- cut angle
- horizontal filing angle
- file diameter
- file depth
More detailed information can be found in section „Technical Data“.
Saw chain filing is quite demanding without respective tools. We recommend you to use a special
file holder. Its use guarantees sufficient sharpening and thus reduces the risk of recoil.
Chain teeth filing
To sharpen teeth properly you need to use a round file and file holder.
To get the right file parameters and its holder see section „Technical Data“.
File the saw just when it is properly tightened. Loose chain makes filing harder.
