When you sharpen the cutter, think about the following:
• Filing angle.
• Cutting angle.
• File position.
• Round file diameter.
It is not easy to sharpen a saw chain correctly without
the correct equipment. Use Husqvarna file gauge. This
will help you to keep maximum cutting performance and
the kickback risk at a minimum.
WARNING: The force of the kickback
increases a lot if you do not follow the
sharpening instructions.
Note: Refer to
Filing equipment and filing angles on
page 30
for information about sharpening of the saw
chain.
To sharpen the cutters
1. Use a round file and a file gauge to sharpen the
cutting teeth.
Note: Refer to
Filing equipment and filing angles on
page 30
for information about which file and gauge
that Husqvarna recommends for your saw chain.
2. Apply the file gauge correctly on to the cutter. Refer
to the instruction supplied with the file gauge.
3. Move the file from the inner side of the cutting teeth
and out. Decrease the pressure on the pull stroke.
4. Remove material from one side of all the cutting
teeth.
5. Turn the product around and remove material on the
other side.
6. Make sure that all cutting teeth are the same length.
General information about how to adjust the
depth gauge setting
The depth gauge setting (C) decreases when you
sharpen the cutting tooth (A). To keep maximum cutting
performance you must remove filing material from the
depth gauge (B) to receive the recommended depth
gauge setting. See
Filing equipment and filing angles on
page 30
for instructions about how to receive the
correct depth gauge setting for your saw chain.
