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.

1

Filing angle

2

Cutting angle

3

File position

4

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.

To sharpen cutting teeth you will need a round file and a file 
gauge. See instructions under the heading Technical data for 
information on the size of file and gauge that are 
recommended for the chain fitted to your chain saw.

•

Check that the chain is correctly tensioned. A slack chain 
will move sideways, making it more difficult to sharpen 
correctly.

•

Always file cutting teeth from the inside face. Reduce the 
pressure on the return stroke. File all the teeth on one 
side first, then turn the chain saw and file the teeth on the 
other side.

•

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