Chain Maintenance
!!
WARNING: Always wear protective gloves during maintenance operations. Do
not carry out maintenance when the machine is hot.
For the inexperienced chain saw user, we recommend that the saw chain be
professionally sharpened by the nearest professional service centre. If you feel
comfortable sharpening your own saw chain, special tools are available from the
professional service centre. 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 centre. For non-experienced users of the chain
saw, we recommend to have the chain sharpened by a specialist in any
authorized service.
Chain Sharpening
!!
WARNING: When having wrong sharpened chain, there may occur a higher
danger of kickback.
To sharpen the saw chain, use the suitable sharpening tools:
- Round chain file
- File leading
- Chain measuring calibre
These tools can be bought in any specialised stores.
To gain well shaped sawdust particles, use sharp chain. If there appears wooden
powder, you must sharpen the saw chain.
!!
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.
▪ Minimum length of the teeth must be 4mm. If they are shorter, remove the saw chain.
▪ Angles, which the teeth are under, must be followed.
▪ To sharpen the chain basically, make 2 to 3 pulls of the file from the inside out.
