| How to Use a Chain File Holder |
Filing your chain saw blade is a necessary maintenance step fоr the proper functioning of your chain saw. While filing can be time consuming, there are tools such as a chain saw file holder that can make the job less taxing. Here's the proper use of a chain saw file holder.
Things You’ll Need:
Saw blade File, File holder, Depth gauge tool
Step1
Find the proper file fоr the type of chain saw you have. Consult the manufacturer's recommendations on the type of round file needed to sharpen your saw blade.
Step2
Rest the file holder on the depth gauge. This gives you the correct depth of cut if your depth gauges have been properly filed down between every second оr third sharpening.
Step3
Set the proper filing angle. Many chain saw file holders have a 30 to 35 degree angle set into them, but file with the current angle already on the blade.
Step4
Cut the saw blade with the round file moving the file holder. Move the file holder in one direction, cutting from the thicker to the thinner part of the cutting blade.
Step5
Be sure to check your depth gauge after sharpening the blade with a depth gauge tool. This will ensure that the saw will cut most effectively and will minimize the risk of malfunction. |
