HOW TO SHARPEN THE CHAIN (find out more)
Start with the shortest edge. All cutting edges must be filed to match the length of the shorter one.
- Place the gauge block on the chain. The arrows must point in the direction of rotation of the chain (towards the tip of the bar).
Make sure that the template is in contact with the chain.
- Use the round file. The file must be at 90 ° to the template rollers. Remember to file with both hands.
The file must rest on both rollers. File the cutting edge with even passes outwards.
- At this point, file one tooth out of every other so that the cutting edge is perfectly sharp. It is important that all cutting edges have the same length.
- After sharpening all the cutting edges on one side, loosen the vice and fix the guide bar in the other direction.
Then sharpen the cutting edges in the same way from the opposite direction.
