General information about sharpen the cutters
Do not use a blunt saw chain. If the saw chain is blunt, you must apply more pressure to push the guide bar through the wood. If the saw chain is very blunt, there will be no wood chips but sawdust.
A sharp saw chain eats through the wood and the wood chips becomes long and thick.
Note! Operating the saw for longer period with blunt saw chain migh cause engine overheating.

The cutter
The cutting tooth (A) and the depth gauge (B) together makes the cutting part of the saw chain, the cutter. The difference in height between the two gives the cutting depth (depth gauge setting).
It is not easy to sharpen a saw chain correctly without the correct equipment. Use Husqvarna file gauge. This will help you to keep maximum cutting performance and the kickback risk at a minimum.
When you sharpen the cutter, think about the following in the next steps.
WARNING: The force of the kickback increases a lot if you do not follow the sharpening instructions.
