− The file should only engage the material on the
forward stroke. Lift the file off the material on the
return stroke.
− Sharpen the shortest cutter first. The length of this
cutter is then the gauge dimension for all other
cutters on the saw chain.
− Guide the file as shown in the figure.
− The file can be guided more easily if a file holder
(accessory) is employed. The file holder has
markings for the correct sharpening angle of 30 °
(align the markings parallel to the saw chain) and
limits the depth of penetration (to 4/5 of the file
diameter).
Guide the file as shown in the figure.
− After sharpening the chain, check the height of the
depth gauge using the chain gauge tool (optional
accessory).

− Remove any projecting material, however small,
with a special flat file (optional accessory).
− Round off the front of the depth gauge again.
− Wash away dust and particles from saw chain
after adjusting the height of depth gauge.
Cleaning guide bar
008578
Chips and sawdust will build up in the guide bar groove,
clogging it and impairing oil flow. Always clean out the
chips and sawdust when sharpening or replacing the
saw chain.
Cleaning the oil filter at the oil discharge hole
Small dust or particles may be built up in the oil filter at
the oil discharge hole during operation.
Small dust or particles built up in the oil filter may impair
the oil discharge flow and cause an insufficient
lubrication on the whole saw chain.
When a poor chain oil delivery occurs at the top of
guide bar, clean the filter as follows.
Remove the battery cartridge from the tool.
Remove the sprocket cover and saw chain from the tool.
(Refer to the section titled " Installing or removing saw
