Safety Precautions

Application

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.
