Top Plate Sharpening Angles (Fig. 35)
◾
CORRECT 30°- This optimal angle
can be obtained only when the
specied les and proper setting
are used. File holders are marked
with guide marks to align the le
properly to produce the correct top
plate angle.
◾
LESS THAN 30°- The tooth is too
dull for cutting.
◾
MORE THAN 30°- The edge of the
cutting tooth is feathered and dulls quickly.
Side Plate Sharpening Angle (Fig. 36)
◾
CORRECT 80°- The optimal angle
can be produced automatically if the
correct diameter le is used in the
le holder.
◾
HOOK- “Grabs” and dulls quickly.
Increases potential of KICKBACK.
Results from using a le with a
diameter that is too small, or a le
held too low.
◾
BACKWARD SLOPE- Needs too
much feed pressure, causes excessive wear to bar and chain. Results from using
a le with a diameter too large, or a le held too high.
