Furthermore, the angle must be maintained for all cut-
ting links.
If the angles are uneven, the saw chain (16) will run er-
ratically, wear out quickly and break prematurely.
Since these requirements can only be met with suffi-
cient and regular practice:
1. Use a file holder.
2. A file holder must be used when sharpening the
saw chain (16) by hand. The correct filing angles
are marked on it.
3. Hold the file horizontally (at the correct angle to the
guide rail (15)) and file according to the angle mark-
ing on the file holder. Support the file holder on the
top plate and the depth limiter.
4. Always file the cutting link from the inside out.
5. The file only sharpens as it moves forward. Lift the
file off as you move backwards.
6. Do not touch the drive links or fastening links with
the file.
7. Turn the file regularly to avoid wear on one side.
8. Use a piece of hard wood to remove the burr from
cutting edges.
All cutting links must have the same length, otherwise
they will also be of different heights.
This causes the saw chain (16) to run erratically and in-
creases the danger of breaking.
14.2.8 Sharpening the saw chain (16)
(Fig. 3)
WARNING
Increased risk of accidents due to an incor-
rectly sharpened saw chain!
Deviations from the dimensions of the cutting edge
geometry during sharpening increase the risk of kick-
back of the product.
– Have the saw chain sharpened by a professional.
The saw chain can be resharpened at an authorised
specialist workshop. Do not attempt to sharpen the
saw chain yourself if you do not have a suitable tool
and the necessary experience.
CAUTION
Special tools are required to sharpen the chain;
these ensure that the cutting tools are sharpened at
the correct angle and to the correct depth.
All cutting links must have the same width and length
after sharpening.

Notes:
A sharp saw chain ensures optimum cutting perfor-
mance. It effortlessly eats through the wood, leaving
behind large, long wood chips.
A saw chain is blunt if you have to push the cutting
equipment through the wood and the wood chips are
very small. With a very blunt saw chain, no chips are
produced at all, only wood dust.
1. For sharpening, the saw chain (16) should be taut
to allow proper sharpening.
2. A round file with a diameter of 4.8 mm is required
for sharpening.
CAUTION
Other diameters damage the saw chain and can lead
to hazards when working!
3. Only sharpen from the inside out. Guide the round
file from the inner side of the cutting tooth to the
outside.
Lift the round file when you pull it back.
4. Sharpen the teeth on one side first.
Then turn the chainsaw around (16) and sharpen
the teeth from the other side.
5. The saw chain (16) is worn and must be replaced
with a new saw chain (16) when only approx. 4 mm
of the cutting tooth is left.
6. After sharpening, all cutting links must be the same
length and width.
7. After every third sharpening, the sharpening depth
(depth limiter) must be checked and the height re-
filed using a flat file.
The depth limiter should be approx. 0.65 mm lower
than the cutting teeth. After resetting, round off the
depth limit slightly towards the front.
