•

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. See instructions under the heading 
Technical data to find the correct depth gauge setting for 
your particular chain.

•

The cutting teeth should be newly sharpened before 
adjusting the depth gauge setting. 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.

•

You will need a flat file and a depth gauge tool. We 
recommend that you use our depth gauge tool to acheive 
the correct depth gauge setting and bevel for the depth 
gauge.

•

Place the depth gauge tool over the chain. Detailed 
information regarding the use of the depth gauge tool, will 
be found on the package for the depth gauge tool. Use the 
flat file to file off the tip of the depth gauge that protrudes 
through the depth gauge tool. The depth gauge setting is 
correct when you no longer feel resistance as you draw 
the file along the depth gauge tool.

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.

•

Loosen the bar nuts that hold the clutch cover/chain brake. 
Use the combination spanner. Then tighten the bar nuts 
by hand as tight as you can.

•

Raise the tip of the bar and stretch the chain by tightening 
the chain tensioning screw using the combination 
spanner. Tighten the chain until it does not sag from the 
underside of the bar.

•

Use the combination spanner to tighten the bar nuts while 
lifting the tip of the bar at the same time. Check that you 
can pull the chain round freely by hand and that it does not 
sag from the underside of the bar.
