WARNING
The chain's cutters are very sharp. There is a risk of cut
injuries.
► Wear work gloves made of durable material.
► File each cutter with a round file so that the following
points are observed:
– Round file matches the chain pitch.
– File from the inside to the outside of the cutter.
– Hold the file at right angle to the guide bar.
– Maintain a filing angle of 30°.
► File down the depth gauges with a flat file so that they are
level with the STIHL filing gauge and parallel to the service
mark. The STIHL filing gauge must match the chain pitch.
► If you have any queries: Contact your STIHL servicing
dealer for assistance.
