OPERATING HINTS

• Before you sharpen the chainsaw chain check it for damage, such as:- bent or

abraded chain links.- broken cutting teeth, loose rivets or broken rivet heads.If

any damage is found, replace the entire chain.

• A sharp chainsaw

produces wood chips and

pulls itself into the timber

being cut. When it

becomes blunt, sawdust

will start being produced

during cutting

operations.You should

sharpen the chain if you

notice that you have to

use force to cut through

the timber, i.e. if the saw

does not “pull” anymore.

• Sharpen all cutting teeth

as uniformly as possible. This will ensure smooth operation with a minimum of

vibration.

• Blunt cutting teeth or parts damaged by stones may cause an inclined cut

during chain saw operation, and may also increase the wear on the running

face of the cutting teeth.

• The depth limiter gauge

must be profiled by hand.

Ensure that all depth

limiter bars are equal in

height.

• Ensure that all cutting

teeth are sharpened to

the same cutting angle.
