 To gain well shaped sawdust particles, use sharp chain. If there appears wooden powder,
you must sharpen the saw chain.
Warning: all cutting teeth must be similarly long. Different length of the
teeth can cause rough run of the chain or its rupture, as well.
 Minimum length of the teeth must be 4mm. If they are shorter, remove the saw chain.
 Angles, which the teeth are under, must be followed.
 To sharpen the chain basically, make 2 to 3 pulls of the file from the inside out.
Warning: after 3 to 4 of your sharpening of the cutting teeth, have the saw
chain sharpened in any authorized service. They will sharpen the depth
limiter as well, which provides the distance.
Chain sharpening
The pitch of the chain (fig. 21) depends on the model.
POW64115
Pitch 9.525
mm (3/8”)
Gauge 1.27 mm (0.05 ”)
Sharpen the chain using protective gloves and a round file of ø5/32” (4mm).
Always sharpen the cutters only with outward strokes (fig.22) observing the values given in fig.
21. After sharpening, the cutting links must all have the same width and length.
fig 21 fig 22
Warning: a sharp chain produces well-defined chips. When your chain
starts to produce sawdust, it is time to sharpen.
fig 23
After every 3-4 times the cutters have been
sharpened you need to check the height of the
depth gauges and, if necessary, lower them
using the flat file and template supplied optional,
then round off the front corner. (Fig. 23)
WARNING: Proper adjustment of the depth gauge is as important as proper
sharpening of the chain.
