chain sharpening
A. General information about sharpening the chain
Never saw with a blunt chain. The chain is blunt when you have
to push the chain saw into the tree and the chips are very small.
The saw-link is the part of the chain which does the sawing (Fig.
17). The height-distance between the tooth A and the ridge B is
the cutting-depth. When sharpening the chain you have to
consider the next points (Fig.18):
• File-angle
• Cutting-angle
• File-position
• Diameter of round file
• File-depth
For correct sharpening of the chain you need good tools; for
example a mould to obtain a correct file-angle.
