To sharpen the cutters

  1. Use a round file and a file gauge to sharpen the cutting teeth.
    Note: Refer to Accessories for information about which file and gauge that Husqvarna recommends for your saw chain.
  2. Apply the file gauge correctly on to the cutter. Refer to the instruction supplied with the file gauge.
  3. Move the file from the inner side of the cutting teeth and out. Decrease the pressure on the pull stroke.
  4. Remove material from one side of all the cutting teeth.
  5. Turn the product around and remove material on the other side.
  6. Make sure that all cutting teeth are the same length.
