DESCRIPTION
Sharpening the Chain
Sharpening Instructions (Fig.37)
Using a depth
gauge joiner
Using a flat
file to round
the front
corner on a
depth gauge
When the cutting edges of the
blade become dull, they can be re-
sharpened with a few strokes of a file.
In order to keep the blade in
balance, all cutting edges must be
sharpened equally.
In addition, inspect the chain for
correct adjustment (more frequently
with a new chain). The chain should
feel snug but still pull freely. See
Figure 36. Refer to page 16 for
adjustment procedures. P231_41

IMPORTANT!
File all cutters to the same angle and
depth! Unequal filing may cause the
saw to vibrate or cut erratically!
NOTE:
For consistent filing angles, use a
filing guide such as Oregon
ா p/n
31692 or equivalent.
1. Using a 4.5 mm round file, sharpen
all cutters to a 30 ° angle. Make
sure that one fifth (20%) of the file’s
diameter is always held above the
cutter’s top plate.
2. After all cutters are sharpened, use
a depth gauge joiner (Oregon ா
p/n 106738 or equivalent) to
measure the height of each depth
gauge.
3. As required, lower the depth
gauges to a height of 0.020 inch.
Use a flat file; (Oregon
ா p/n 12211
or equivalent).
4. After all depth gauges have been
adjusted, use a flat file to round
each depth gauge leading edge to
its original curvature and angle.
