Special tools are necessary for sharpening

the chain, which guarantee that the cutting

edges are sharpened at the correct angle

and to the correct depth. For the inexperi-

enced user of chainsaws, we recommend

to have the saw chain sharpened by a

specialist or a specialist workshop. If you

think yourself capable of sharpening the

chain, you can acquire the special tools in

the specialist trade.

1. Switch the saw off and unplug it

from the mains.

2. Remove the saw chain (refer

to the section on operating the

saw). The chain should be well-

tensioned to ensure proper sharp-

ening.

3. For the sharpening, a round file

with 4.0 mm diameter is neces-

sary.

4. Sharpen only from the inside to

the outside. Guide the file from

the inner side of the cutting teeth

to the outer side. Lift the file when

you are withdrawing it.

5. Sharpen first the teeth on one

side. Turn the saw around and

sharpen the teeth of the other

side.

6. The chain is worn and must be

replaced by a new saw chain if

only approx. 4 mm of the cutting

teeth is remaining.

7. After the sharpening, all cutting

elements must now be equal in

length and width.

8. After every third sharpening, the

sharpness depth (depth limitation)

must be checked and the height

filed with the aid of a flat file. The

depth limitation should be set back

about 0.65 mm from the cutting

tooth. After the setting back of

depth limitation, round it off a lit-

tle at the front.

Adjusting the chain tension

The adjustment of the chain tension is de-

scribed in the chapter: Starting operation,

tensioning chainsaw.

• Switch off the saw and pull out the

power plug.

• Check the chain tension regularly and

re-adjust this as often as possible.When

the saw chain is tensioned with 9 N

(approx. 1 kg), the gap between the

saw chain and the guide rail may not

be more than 2 mm.

Starting up a new saw chain

In the case of a new chain, the tensioning

force decreases after some time. Therefore

you must re-tension the chain after the first

5 cuts and at longer intervals after this.
