To sharpen the carbide-tipped saw
chain, use only the USG universal
sharpener with a diamond wheel. When
doing so, proceed according to the USG

The angles must be identical for all
cutters in the saw chain. Varying angles:
Rough, uneven running of the saw
chain, increased wear – even to the

heights also vary and cause rough
running of the saw chain and chain
breakage.
