Use and Care Guide
56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW — CS1800/CS1800-FC 41
5.  Keep a correct sharpening angle of 
30° between the le and the saw 
chain; see Fig. 32 & 33. Always use 
a le holder (available separately) 
when sharpening saw chains by 
hand. File holders have markings for 
the sharpening angle.
6.  Using light but rm pressure, stroke 
towards the front corner of the 
tooth. Lift the le away from the 
steel on each return stroke.
7.  Make a few rm strokes on every 
tooth. File all left-hand cutters in 
one direction. Then move to the 
other side and le the right-hand 
cutters in the opposite direction. 
Occasionally remove lings from the 
le with a wire brush (Fig. 34).
WARNING: 
A dull or improperly 
sharpened chain can cause excessive 
motor speed during cutting, which may 
result in severe motor damage.
WARNING: 
Improper chain 
sharpening increases the potential of 
kickback.
WARNING: 
Failure to replace or 
repair a damaged chain can cause serious 
injury.
