USING THE POWER SHARP®SYSTEM Model 358.355070 is equipped with a Power Sharp ® System that will perform approximately 80% of the sharpening necessary for the saw chain. The Power Sharp® System utilizes a built-in grinding stone to sharpen the cutter top plates and set depth gauges. As the built-in sharpener is used, the cutter side plates gradually will be altered. About every 3rd to 5th time the Power Sharp® System is used, hand fiting isrequired to correct the cutter side plates.
5. File from inside toward outside of cutter, straight across, in one direction only. Use 2 or 3 strokes per side plate edge. Figure 21. SIDE PLATE tz, SIDE PLATE NOTE: Avoid hitting the top edge of the cutters when filing the side plate. Maintain a 1132" side plate projection. Figure 22. 7. Fite all side plates on one side of the chain, then move to the other side of bar and file remaining side plates. . REPLACE OR REMOVE STONE AND CARRIER Figure 22 THE ASSEMBLY 1. Removebarclamp. 2.
