21 HTE 60
English
The pruner’s saw chain cannot be
locked in place on the guide bar.
Therefore, it is best to remove the
chain from the bar and resharpen it
on a workshop sharpening tool
(FG 2, HOS, USG).
: Select the appropriate sharpening
tools for the chain pitch.
See "Specifications" for the
permitted chain pitches.
The chain pitch (e.g. 3/8") is marked on
the depth gauge of each cutter.
Use only special saw chain files!
Other files have the wrong shape and
cut.
Select the file diameter according to the
chain pitch (see table "Sharpening
Tools" at the end of this chapter).
You must also observe the following
angles when resharpening the chain
cutters.
A = Filing angle
B = Side plate angle
Cutter shape: Micro = Semi-chisel
Specified angles A and B are more
readily obtained if recommended files or
sharpening tools and correct settings
are used.
Furthermore, the angles must be the
same on all cutters. If angles are uneven
the chain will run roughly, not in a
straight line, wear quickly and break
prematurely.
As these requirements can be met only
after sufficient and constant practice:
: Use a file holder
A file holder must be used for manual
resharpening of saw chain (see table
"Sharpening Tools"). The correct filing
angles are marked on the file holder.
