44 X7503255900

Important points for proper maintenance of saw chain:

• Keep the cutters sharp at all times.

• Keep the left and the right cutters properly aligned.

• Note that blunt or irregular cutters will result in poor cutting

performance, increased vibration of chains and premature

breakage of the saw chain.

• Drive link serves to remove sawdust

from the groove of the guide bar. Keep

the lower edge of the drive link sharp

where indicated.

Setting Saw Chain

• For setting saw chain, round file (4.0

mm [5/32 in.] diam.) and flat file are

used.

• Push file as shown.

• To keep correct position and correct

angle, use a file holder.

• Hold the file horizontally.

• Place the depth gauge tool firmly on

guide bar so that depth gauge

protrudes. Then file top of depth gauge

with the flat file until flat with top of the

depth gauge tool.

• One fifth of the file diameter remains

above cutter edge.
