WARNING:
Always wear protective
gloves during maintenance operations. Do
not carry out maintenance when the engine is
hot.
WARNING:
After 3 to 4 of your
sharpening of the cutting teeth, have the saw
chain sharpened in any authorised service.
They will sharpen the depth limiter as well,
which provides the distance.
CHAIN SHARPENING - The pitch of the
chain (Fig. 21) is 3/8” LoPro x .050”.
Sharpen the chain using protective gloves
and a round file of ø5/32” (4mm).
Always sharpen the cutters only with outward
strokes (Fig. 22) observing the values given
in Fig. 21.
WARNING:
A sharp chain produces
welldefined chips. When your chain starts to
produce sawdust, it is time to sharpen.
After sharpening, the cutting links must all
have the same width and length.
After every 3-4 times the cutters have been
sharpened you need to check the height of
the depth gauges and, if necessary, lower
them using the flat file and template supplied
optional, then round off the front corner.
(Fig. 23)
WARNING:
Proper adjustment of the
depth gauge is as important as proper
sharpening of the chain.
WARNING:
Never mount a new
chain on a worn sprocket or self-aligning ring.
WARNING:
When having wrong
sharpened chain, there may occur a higher
danger of kickback.
WARNING:
All cutting teeth must be
similarly long. Different length of the teeth
can cause rough run of the chain or its
rupture, as well.
4. Rotate saw chain by hand. Repeat
lubrication procedure until the entire
sprocket tip has been greased.
1. To sharpen the saw chain, use the suitable
sharpen-ing tools:
- Round chain file ø5/32”(4mm).
- File leading
- Chain measuring calibre.
These tools can be bought in any
specialsed stores.
2. To gain well shaped sawdust particles, use
sharp chain. If there appears wooden
powder, you must sharpen the saw chain.
GUIDE BAR- The bar should be reversed
every 8 working hours to ensure uniform
wear.
Keep the bar groove and lubrication hole
clean using a bar groove cleaner (optional).
(Fig. 24)
Check the bar rails frequently for wear and, if
necessary, remove the burs and square-up
the rails using a flat file. (Fig.25)
3. Minim um length of the teeth must be 4mm.
If they are shorter, remove the saw chain.
4. Angles, which the teeth are under, must be
followed.
5. To sharpen the chain basically, make 2 to
3 pulls of the file from the inside out.
Most guide bar problems can be
prevented merely by keeping the chain
saw well maintained.
Insufficient guide bar lubrication and
operating the saw with chain that is TOO
TIGHT will contribute to rapid bar wear.
To help minimize bar wear, the following
guide bar maintenance procedures are
recommended.
Chain sharpening requires special tools to
ensure that cutters are sharpened at the
correct angle and depth. For the
inexperienced chain saw user, we
recommend that the saw chain be
professionally sharpened by the nearest
professional Service Center. If you feel
comfortable sharpening your own saw chain,
special tools are available from the
professional Service Center. For
non-experienced users of the chain saw, we
recommend to have the chain sharpened by
a specialist in any authorised service.
