Never use a blunt chain. When the chain is blunt you have 
to exert more pressure to force the bar through the wood 
and the chips will be very small. If the chain is very blunt 
it will produce wood powder and no chips or shavings.

•

A sharp chain eats its way through the wood and 
produces long, thick chips or shavings.

•

The cutting part of the chain is called the cutter and 
consists of a cutting tooth (A) and the depth gauge (B). 
The cutters cutting depth is determined by the difference 
in height between the two (depth gauge setting).

When you sharpen a cutting tooth there are four important 
factors to remember.

Filing angle

Cutting angle

File position

Round file diameter

It is very difficult to sharpen a chain correctly without the right 
equipment. We recommend that you use our file gauge. This 
will help you obtain the maximum kickback reduction and 
cutting performance from your chain.

See instructions under the heading Technical data for 
information about sharpening your chain.
