To sharpen the cutting teeth
Use a round file and a file gauge to sharpen the cutting

teeth. See
on page 23 for information on the recommended
dimension of the file and gauge for the saw chain
installed on your product.
1. Make sure that the saw chain has the correct
tension. A chain without the correct tension moves to
one side does and not sharpen correctly.
2. Use the file on all the teeth on one side. Then use
the file on the cutting teeth from the inner face and
decrease the pressure in the reverse direction.
3. Turn the product on the opposite side and use the
file on the teeth.
4. Use the file to keep all teeth the same length.
Replace a worn saw chain when the length of the
cutting teeth decreases to 4 mm (5/32 in).
To adjust the depth gauge setting

gauge setting (C) will decrease. To maintain optimal
cutting performance, the depth gauge (B) has to be filed
down to achieve the recommended depth gauge setting.

Note: This recommendation assumes that the length of
the cutting teeth is not reduced excessively.
Use a flat file and depth gauge tool to adjust the depth
gauge.
1. Put the depth gauge tool above the saw chain.
Detailed information regarding how to use the depth
gauge tool will be found on the package of the depth
gauge tool.
2. Use the flat file to file off the tip of the depth gauge
that protrudes through the depth gauge tool. The
depth gauge setting is correct when you no longer
feel resistance as you draw the file along the depth
gauge tool.
To tension the saw chain
Note: Check the tension of a new saw chain frequently
during its running-in period.
