Safety Precautions

To reduce the risk of
personal injury, special
safety precautions must
be observed while
operating the filing tool.
*
Read the operating
.
instructions carefully and
keep them in a safe place
for later reference.
Always shut off the saw engine before
working with the filing tool:
Move Master Control lever / slide control
or the separate stop switch to
STOP or $.
Electric saws: Disconnect plug from
power supply.
Wear gloves.
It is absolutely essential to comply with
the angles and dimensions specified in
these instructions. If the saw chain is
incorrectly sharpened – and in
particular if the depth gauges are set too
low – there is a risk of increased saw
kickback and personal injury.
Observing the safety precautions and
specifications in these instructions and
the owner's manual of the saw model on
which the filing tool is mounted can help
reduce the risk of injury and damage to
the saw.
Application
The STIHL filing tool can be used to
sharpen all STIHL Oilomatic saw chains
with the exception of square ground
chains (RSL, RSLF, RSLH) and carbide-
tipped chains (RD, RDS). Sharpening is
effected with the guide bar and chain
mounted on the saw.
For accurate results it is best to clamp
the guide bar in a bench vise or, at the
cutting site, in the STIHL bar vise
(special accessory).
File correctly
– Sharpen the chain frequently, take
away as little metal as possible –
two or three strokes of the file are
usually enough.
– Always file from the inside to the
outside of the cutter.
– The file only sharpens on the
forward stroke – lift the file off the
cutter on the backstroke.
– Avoid touching the tie straps and
drive links with the file.
