MAINTENANCE 

 

CAUTION: 

• 

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the 
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to 
perform inspection or maintenance. 

• 

Always wear gloves when performing any 
inspection or maintenance. 

• 

Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the 
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may 
result. 

Sharpening the saw chain 

 

CAUTION: 

• 

Always remove the battery cartridge and wear 
safety gloves when performing work on the saw 
chain. 

   

008633 

Sharpen the saw chain when: 

  Mealy sawdust is produced when damp wood is 

cut; 

 

The chain penetrates the wood with difficulty, even 
when heavy pressure is applied; 

 

The cutting edge is obviously damaged; 

  The saw pulls to the left or right in the wood. The 

reason for this behaviour is uneven sharpening of 
the saw chain, or damage to one side only. 

Sharpen the saw chain frequently, but remove only a 
little material each time. 

Two or three strokes with a file are usually sufficient for 
routine resharpening. When the saw chain has been 
resharpened several times, have it sharpened in a 
MAKITA specialist repair shop. 

File and file guiding 

  Use a special round file (optional accessory) for 

saw chains, with a diameter of 4 mm, to sharpen 
the chain. Normal round files are not suitable.

011075 

  The file should only engage the material on the 

forward stroke. Lift the file off the material on the 
return stroke. 

  Sharpen the shortest cutter first. The length of this 

cutter is then the gauge dimension for all other 
cutters on the saw chain. 

 

Guide the file as shown in the figure. 

  The file can be guided more easily if a file holder 

(accessory) is employed. The file holder has 
markings for the correct sharpening angle of 30 ° 
(align the markings parallel to the saw chain) and 
limits the depth of penetration (to 4/5 of the file 
diameter). 

Guide the file as shown in the figure. 

 

After sharpening the chain, check the height of the 
depth gauge using the chain gauge tool (optional 
accessory). 

   

006929 

  Remove any projecting material, however small, 

with a special flat file (optional accessory). 

 

Round off the front of the depth gauge again. 

 

Wash away dust and particles from saw chain after 
adjusting the height of depth gauge.
