4.  Hold file guide level. Make sure 30° mark 

on file guide is parallel to center of guide bar 
(see Figure 22). This will insure that you file 
cutters at 30° angle.

5.  File from inside towards outside of cutter 

until sharp. Only file in this one direction (see 
Figure 22). Note: Two or three strokes with 
file should sharpen cutter. 

6.  After each cutter is sharpened, move chain 

forward to sharpen next cutter. File all cutters 
on one side of chain.

7.  Move to other side of chain and repeat pro-

cess.

The cutter depth gauge clearance is reduced as 
cutters are sharpened. After every second or third 
sharpening, reset cutter depth gauges.
1.  Place depth gauge tool (.025") firmly across 

top of two cutters. Make sure depth gauge 
enters slot in depth gauge tool (see Figure 
24).

2.  Use medium flat file. File depth gauge level 

with depth gauge tool.

3.  Remove depth gauge tool. With flat file, round 

off front corner of cutter depth gauge (see 
Figure 25).

After several hand filings, have authorized service 
center or sharpening service machine sharpen 
chain. This will insure even filing.

Replace chain when cutters are too worn to sharpen 
or when chain breaks. Only use replacement chain 
noted in this manual. Always include new drive 
sprocket when replacing chain. This will maintain 
proper driving of chain. Note: For proper chain 
and drive sprocket, see Replacement Parts and 
Accessories.

Purchase these items from your local dealer, hard-
ware store, or chain saw supplies outlet.
