TO SHARPEN THE SAW CHAIN

The cutter

The cutting part of the saw chain is called the cutter and

consists of a cutting tooth (A) and the depth gauge (B).

The cutters cutting depth is determined by the difference

in height between the two, the depth gauge setting (C).

When you sharpen a cutting tooth there are four important

factors to remember:

• Filing angle.

• Cutting angle.

• File position.

4. File all the teeth to the same length. When the length

of the cutting teeth is reduced to 4 mm (5/32”) the saw

chain is worn out and must be replaced.

To adjust the depth gauge setting

Sharpen the cutting teeth before you adjust the depth

gauge setting. When you sharpen the cutting tooth (A), the

depth gauge setting (C) will decrease. To maintain optimal
