The pruner’s saw chain cannot be 
locked in place on the guide bar as 
on a chainsaw. Therefore, it is best 
the remove the chain from the bar 
and resharpen it on a workshop 
sharpening tool (FG 2, HOS, USG).
: Select the appropriate sharpening 
tools for the chain pitch.
See "Specifications" for the permitted 
chain pitches.
The chain pitch (e.g. 3/8) is marked on 
the depth gauge side of each cutter.
Use only special saw chain files! 
Other files have the wrong shape and 
cut.
Select file diameter according to chain 
pitch
You must also observe the following 
angles when resharpening the chain 
cutters.
A = Filing angle
B = Side plate angle
Cutter shapes:
Micro = Semi-chisel
Specified angles A and B are more 
readily obtained if recommended files or 
sharpening tools and correct settings 
are used.
Furthermore, the angles must be the 
same on all cutters. If angles are uneven 
the chain will run roughly, not in a 
straight line, wear quickly and break 
prematurely.
As these requirements can be met only 
after sufficient and constant practice:
Use a file holder**!
