Purchase these items from your local dealer, hard-
ware store, or chain saw supplies outlet.
• 5/32" round file
• Depth gauge tool
• File guide
• Vise
•  Medium sized flat file

Use file guide for 30° filing. 
1.  Adjust chain for proper tension (see Saw Chain 

Tension Adjustment).

2.  Clamp guide bar in vise to hold saw steady. 

Note: Do not clamp chain.

3.  Press 5/32" round file (attached to file guide) 

into groove between top plate and depth gauge 
on chain. File guide should rest on both top plate 
and depth gauge (see Figure 18). 

Note: File at 

midpoint of guide bar. 

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

file guide is parallel to center of guide bar (see 
Figure 18). 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 
18). 

Note: Two or three strokes with file should 

sharpen cutter. 

6.  After each cutter is sharpened, move chain for-

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

7.  Move to other side of chain and repeat process.

The cutter depth gauge clearance is reduced as cutters 
are sharpened. After every second or third sharpen-
ing, 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 20).

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 
21).

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

Note: This illustration shows file guide placement and filing 
direction for sharpening cutters on left side of chain.
