Furthermore, the angles must be the
same on all cutters. If angles are uneven
the chain will run roughly, not in a
straight line, wear quickly and break
prematurely.
As these requirements can be met only
after sufficient and constant practice:
:
Use a file holder
Always use a file holder for manual
resharpening chains (special accessory
– see Table "Sharpening Tools"). The
correct filing angle is marked on the file
holder.
For checking angles
Use a STlHL filing gauge (special
accessory – see table "Sharpening
Tools"). This is a universal tool for
checking the filing and side plate angles,
depth gauge setting and cutter length. It
also cleans the guide bar groove and oil
inlet hole.
File correctly
:
Disconnect plug from power
supply.
:
Select sharpening tools to suit the
chain pitch.
:
Clamp the bar in a vise if necessary.
:
Lock the chain in position by
engaging the chain brake –
push the hand guard forwards.
:
To move the chain along the bar,
disengage the chain brake by
pulling the hand guard towards the
front handle.
On models MSE 140 C, MSE 160 C,
MSE 180 C and MSE 200 C:
Hold the hand guard in this position
to deactivate the coasting brake.
:
Sharpen the chain frequently; take
away as little metal as possible –
two or three strokes of the file are
usually enough.
