Files and file guiding
• Use a special round file (optional accessory) for saw chains sharpening. Normal
round files are not suitable.
• Use the round file of diameter 4.0 mm.
• The file should only engage the cutter part on the forward stroke. Lift the file off the
cutter part on the return stroke.
• Sharpen the shortest cutter first. Then the length of this shortest cutter becomes
the standard for all other cutters on the saw chain.
• Guide the file as shown in the figure.
• A file holder (optional accessory) makes file guidance easier. The file holder has
markings for the correct sharpening angle of 30°. When using the file holder, align the
markings parallel to the saw chain, and limit the filing depth to 4/5 of the file diameter.
• After sharpening the chain, check the depth of the cut using the chain gauge tool
(optional accessory).
• Remove the small excess with a special flat file (optional accessory).
• Round off the front of the depth gauge.
Replacing the starter rope
In case the starter rope is cut, replace the rope as follows.
NOTE:
• In case you simply replace the rope, firstly untie the knot of the starter grip, remove
the starter grip and release tension of the spiral spring. Otherwise the tensioned
spiral spring may spring out from the housing.
1. Remove the screws and remove the starter case.
