Dewalt DCCS670X1 Instruction Manual - Page 17

WARNING: Sharp moving chain. To prevent accidental operation, ensure that battery is removed from the tool before performing the following operations. Failure to do this could result in serious personal injury. NOTE: The cutters will dull immediately if they touch the ground or a nail while cutting. To get the best possible performance from your chain saw it is important to keep the teeth of the chain sharp. Follow these helpful tips for proper saw chain sharpening: 1. For best results use a 4.5 mm file and a file holder or filing guide to sharpen your chain. This will ensure you always get the correct sharpening angles. 2. Place the file holder flat on the top plate and depth gauge of the cutter. 3. Figure W- Keep the correct top plate 19 filing angle line of 30° on your file guide parallel with your chain (file at 60° from chain viewed from the side). 4. Sharpen cutters on one side of the chain first. File from the inside of each cutter to the outside. Then turn your saw around and repeat the processes (2, 3, 4) for cutters on the other side of the chain. NOTE: Use a flat file to file the tops of the rakers (portion of chain link in front of the cutter) so they are about .025" (.635 mm) below the tips of the cutters as shown in Figure X. 5. Figure Y- Keep all cutter lengths equal. 6. If damage is present on the chrome surface of the top plates or side plates, file back until such damage is removed. CAUTION: After filing, the cutter will be sharp, use extra caution during this process. NOTE: Each time the chain is sharpened, it loses some of the low kickback qualities and extra caution should be used. It is recommended that a chain be sharpened no more than four times.
