MAINTENANCE
Lift the file away from the steel on each return
stroke.
Put a few firm strokes on every tooth. File all left
hand cutters in one direction. Then move to the
other side and file the right hand cutters in the
opposite direction.
Remove filings from the file with a wire brush.
NOTICE:
A dull or improperly sharpened chain can cause
excessive engine speed during cutting, which
may result in severe engine damage.
WARNING:
Improper chain sharpening increases the poten-
tial of kickback, which can result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Failure to replace or repair a damaged chain
can cause serious injury.
WARNING:
The saw chain is very sharp, always wear pro-
tective gloves when performing maintenance
to the chain to prevent serious personal injury.

See Figure 53.
CORRECT 30° – file holders are marked with
guide marks to align file properly to produce
correct top plate angle.
LESS THAN 30° – for cross cutting.
MORE THAN 30° – feathered edge dulls quickly.
SIDE PLATE ANGLE
See Figure 54.
CORRECT 80° – Produced automatically if you
use the correct diameter file in the file holder.
HOOK – “Grabs” and dulls quickly; increases the
potential of KICKBACK. Results from using a file
with a diameter too small or a file held too low.
