Safety Precautions Application
English
To reduce the risk of
personal injury, special
safety precautions must
be observed while
operating the filing tool.
Read the instruction
manual carefully and
keep it in a safe place for
later reference.
Wear gloves.
It is absolutely essential to comply with
the angles and dimensions specified in
these instructions. If the saw chain is
incorrectly sharpened – and in
particular if the depth gauges are set too
low – there is a risk of increased saw
kickback and personal injury.
Observing the safety precautions and
specifications in this manual and the
instruction manual of the saw model on
which the filing tool is mounted can help
reduce the risk of injury and damage to
the tool and saw.
The STIHL filing tool can be used to
sharpen all STIHL Oilomatic saw chains
with the exception of square ground
chains (RSL, RSLF, RSLH) and carbidetipped chains (RD, RDS).
File correctly
– Sharpen the chain frequently, take
away as little metal as possible –
two or three strokes of the file are
usually enough.
– Always file from the inside to the
outside of the cutter.
– The file only sharpens on the
forward stroke – lift the file off the
cutter on the backstroke.
– Avoid touching the tie straps and
drive links with the file.
