After each saw tooth has been refiled, place a depth gauge on top and refile the saw teeth to
the correct size.
Make sure that the front edges are rounded to reduce the risk of kickback or tearing of the
retaining straps.

Saw chain
To ensure safe and proper operation, the saw teeth must
always be sharp.
The saw teeth must be filed down when:
- the sawdust assumes a powdery state
- additional force is required for the cut
- a straight cut is no longer possible
- the vibrations become stronger
- the fuel consumption rises
Instructions for filing the saw teeth:
Always wear safety gloves.
Before filing:
- Make sure the saw-chain is securely fastened.
- Make sure that the engine is switched off
- Be sure to use a round file with the size suitable for the
chain:
FX-KS126: 3/8 pitch / 1.3mm groove width
See detailed information under technical data
Place the file on the saw tooth and press it forward in a
straight line after. Keep the position of the file as shown in
the illustration.
