9 OPERATION & USE
9.14 SHARPENING (FIG.34)
– Sawdust instead of chips is an indication that the
saw chain needs sharpening, or replacing.
– Before sharpening, the chain must be made
taught by means of the chain tensioner.
– After sharpening, slacken and adjust the chain as
per the mounting instructions.
– During sharpening, lock the chain using the
brake.
– Use a round file specific for the chain fitted.
Observe the sharpening angle (Fig. 29 parts
2,3,5,6).
– Sharpen by filing from the inside outwards (Fig.
29 part 1) all the teeth on one side and then all
the teeth on the other.
– Position the file to project 20% of its diameter
above the cutter (Fig 29 part 4).
– Make sure every cutter is filed to the same
length and angle and that all depth gauge links
are the same height.
– Inconsistent angles can result in a poor cut or
endanger the user. Seek advice from a
professional if unsure.

9.13 CHAIN LUBRICATION (FIG.33)
– Prior to use check for chain oil distribution on a
piece of paper or cut timber. Observe spatter
before continuing.
– If the chain is not sufficiently lubricated, increase
the oil flow by rotating the setting screw
of
the pump anti-clockwise.
