•

File all the teeth to the same length. When the length of 
the cutting teeth is reduced to 4 mm (0.16") the chain is 
worn out and should be replaced.

 

•

When you sharpen the cutting teeth you reduce the raker 
clearance (=cutting depth). To maintain optimal cutting 
performance you must file back the raker lip to the 
recommended height.

•

On a low-kickback cutting link the front edge of the raker 
lip is rounded. It is very important that you maintain this 
radius or bevel when you adjust the raker clearance.

•

We recommend that you use our raker gauge to achieve 
the correct clearance and bevel on the raker lip.

 

•

Before setting the raker clearance the cutting teeth should 
be newly sharpened. 

We recommend that you adjust the raker clearance every 
third time you sharpen the chain. NOTE! This 
recommendation assumes that the length of the cutting 
teeth is not reduced excessively.

•

To adjust the raker clearance you will need a flat file and a 
raker gauge.

•

Place the gauge over the raker lip.

•

Place the file over the part of the lip that protrudes through 
the gauge and file off the excess. The clearance is correct 
when you no longer feel any resistance as you draw the 
file over the gauge.

 

•

The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is 
therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up 
the slack.

•

Check the chain tension every time you refuel. NOTE! A 
new chain has a running-in period during which you 
should check the tension more frequently.

•

Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight 
that you cannot pull it round freely by hand.

•

 

-

Undo the bar nut.

-

Tension the chain by turning the chain tensioning 
screw clockwise using the combination spanner. The 
chain should be tensioned until it does not sag from 
the underside of the bar.
