This will insure even filing. Figure 22 - Depth Gauge Tool On Chain Flat File Depth Gauge Slot Figure 23 - Round Off Front Corner Of Depth Gauge Depth Gauge Tool Depth Gauge Front Corner .025" CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Continued WARNING: Unplug chain saw from power source before servicing. Severe injury or death could occur from electrical shock or body contact with moving chain. WARNING: Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use protective gloves when handling chain. WARNING: Do not handsharpen this Fast Sharp chain. Hand-sharpening chain will increase risk of kickback. Figure 24 - Turning Sharpener Knob Keep chain sharp. Your saw will cut faster and more safely. A dull chain will cause undue sprocket, guide bar, chain, and motor wear. If you must force chain into wood and cutting creates only sawdust with few large chips, chain is dull. Follow the steps below to sharpen Fast Sharp chain. The automatic chain sharpener sharpens cutter, lowers cutter depth gauge, and adjusts guard drive link. 1. Adjust saw chain for proper tension (see Saw Chain Tension Adjustment, page 7). 2. Clean out excess sawdust and wood chips from drive sprocket area. 3. Turn sharpener knob counterclockwise until clicking stops (see Figure 24). 4. Turn sharpener knob clockwise until you hear five distinct clicks. SHARPENING SAW CHAIN (Fast Sharp Model) Figure 25 - Sharpening Fast Sharp Chain Sharpener Knob 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, on back cover. 5. Place saw on clean, flat surface. 6. Connect saw to power supply. 7. Hold saw, with both hands in normal cutting position. 8. Press in switch lockout with right thumb and squeeze trigger. 9. Gently push on sharpener knob. Saw must be running for chain to sharpen. Note: Sparks appearing shows sharpener is working (see Figure 25). If no sparks appear, continue to adjust sharpener one click at a time. After each click, press sharpener knob until light flow of sparks appears. After several sharpenings, you must turn sharpener knob more to bring stone into position.
