This will insure that you file cutters at 30° angle. 5. File from inside towards outside of cutter until sharp. Only file in this one direction (see Figure 19). Note: Two or three strokes with file should sharpen cutter. 6. After each cutter is sharpened, move chain forward to sharpen next cutter. File all cutters on one side of chain. 7. Move to other side of chain and repeat process. Filing Cutter Depth Gauges The cutter depth gauge clearance is reduced as cutters are sharpened. After every second or third sharpening, reset cutter depth gauges. 1. Place depth gauge tool (.025") firmly across top of two cutters. Make sure depth gauge enters slot in depth gauge tool (see Figure 21). 2. Use medium flat file. File depth gauge level with depth gauge tool. 3. Remove depth gauge tool. With flat file, round off front corner of cutter depth gauge (see Figure 22). After several hand filings, have authorized service center or sharpening service machine sharpen chain. This will insure even filing. REPLACING SAW CHAIN Replace chain when cutters are too worn to sharpen or when chain breaks. Only use replacement chain noted in this manual. Always include new drive sprocket when replacing chain. This will maintain proper driving of chain. Note: For proper chain and drive sprocket, see Replacement Parts and Accessories. STORAGE If storing saw for more than 30 days, follow steps below. 1. Drain oil tank. 2. Remove and clean guide bar and chain. Clean guide bar and chain by soaking in petroleum based solvent or mild soap and water mixture. 3. Dry guide bar and chain. 4. Place chain in container filled with oil. This will prevent rust. 5. Wipe a thin coating of oil over surface of guide bar. 6. Wipe off outside of saw body. Do this with soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water mixture. 7. Store chain saw • in a high or locked place, out of children’s reach • in a dry place • in a carrying case or with scabbard over guide bar TECHNICAL SERVICE You may have further questions about assembling, operating, or maintaining this saw.
