Cutting Chain Maintenance
Chain Honing
• The chain need honing if the wood shavings generated
when cutting are small and dusty, when forcing the chain
bar through the wood is necessary to make the cut or
when the chain cuts sideways.
• The chain honing shall be carried out having it mounted
and tense in the chain bar (see page 11) and with the
chain saw motor off.
• Use a round file with a 5/32” diameter.
• Be careful and file all the sprockets in
the angles specified in the image and the same length
specified. Only with uniform sprockets an adequate and
safe cut is accomplished.
• File one by one all the sprockets. First all in the right side
and then all in the left side. To pass from one sprocket to
the other go through the chain only a little bit so each
time you file one sprocket you do it onto the middle of
the chain bar.
• Keep the file leveled to the sprocket upper plate. Avoid
tilting or balancing the file. apply soft but firm pressure
moving only towards the front of the sprocket. Separate
the file from the sprocket in each return movement.
• Give only a few passes on each sprocket.
• Using a wire brush remove the steel shavings produce
while shaving.
• Operating the chain saw with a poorly
honed or dull chain can damage the motor due to the
excessive speed.
• Operating the chain saw with a
damaged chain can cause severe injuries.
• The cutting chain is very sharp. Use
heavy-duty protective gloves to handle it.
• If the cutting chain is dull due to
contacting nails or stones or due to mud or sand present
in the wood, take it to a authorized
Service Center to be professionally honed.
• So that the chainsaw makes fast and smooth cuts, the
chain need periodical and adequate maintenance.
• Turn off the chainsaw before carrying out any
maintenance task.
• Wear heavy-duty protecting gloves.

Any other angle different to the
