Sawchain sharpening
8. SAWCHAIN SHARPENING
Keep the saw chain sharp. Cutting will be significantly faster and particularly safer. Dull chain increases wear and
tear of the sprocket, guide bar, chain and drive. If you have to force the chainsaw while only wood dust and a few
chippings are produced while cutting, it means that the chain is dull.
Equipment required for saw chain sharpening
Purchase the following equipment from your local vendor, tool shop or hobby market.
Round file 5/32“
Raker
File guide rail 5/32“
Chops
Middle-sized flat file
Saw chain sharpening
Use guide rail (33) (see Fig. 14) for filing under the angle of 30° (mark A,
Fig. 14).
Adjust the saw chain tension to the correct level.
Fix the guide rail into the chops to ensure the chain is in a stable
position
Note:
Do not fix the chain itself.
Press the round file 5/32“ (34), inserted in to the guide rail (33), into
the groove between the upper plate and the chain raker. The chain
should touch both the upper plate and the raker (see Fig. 14).
Note:
File in the centre of the guide bar.
Note:
The figure shows the position of the guide rail of the file and the teeth filing direction on the left side of
the chain.
Place the file guide rail to the desired angle (mark A, Fig. 14). Check whether the mark 30° on the file guide
rail is aligned with the centre of the guide bar. This way you make sure you are filing under the angle of 30°.

File the tooth from inside out (in the direction B, Fig. 14) until it is
sharp. File only in this direction.
Note:
Two or three file strokes should suffice to make the tooth sharp.
