INTRODUCTION TO POWERSHARP®
This chain saw is equipped with the
PowerSharp® integrated sharpening
system, a fast and easy way to sharpen
chain on the saw. It is time to sharpen the
saw chain when cuts take longer or the
wood chips become smaller, turning the
wood chips into saw dust.
SHARPENING THE CHAIN
IMPORTANT: POWERSHARP® CHAIN
USES UNIQUE TOP-SHARPENING
CUTTERS AND CAN ONLY BE
SHARPENED WITH A GENUINE
POWERSHARP® SHARPENER.
• With the saw at full speed, lightly lift
the PowerSharp® lever for – seconds
(Fig. ). Sparks will be visible when the
cutters are in contact with the
sharpening stone.
• Make a test cut to determine if the chain
has been sufficiently sharpened. If not,
repeat the sharpening procedure until
the chain is sufficiently sharp.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT APPLY TOO
MUCH FORCE WHEN SHARPENING.
EXCESSIVE FORCE CAN REDUCE THE
PERFORMANCE OF THE SHARPENING
STONE.
IMPORTANT: IT IS NORMAL TO SEE
A SMALL AMOUNT OF SPARKS AND
SMOKE DURING SHARPENING AS THE
CUTTERS CONTACT THE STONE AND
FRICTION HEATS THE CHAIN.
WHEN TO REPLACE
THE SHARPENING STONE
The sharpening stone is designed to wear
at the same rate as the chain. Always
replace the stone when replacing the
chain even if it appears to have more life.
See “Replacing a Worn Saw Chain and
Sharpening Stone” in this manual.
