Description

Pack of 2 3/16" files: ensures proper maintenance of the cutting chains. They help maintain precision and cutting capacity throughout the life of the chain. Sharpening product for maintenance of chainsaw chains. The file is the key element of manual chain sharpening: it works directly on the edge of the tooth to return the cut. Choosing the correct file diameter depends on the chain pitch: each pitch requires a specific file diameter to maintain the original tooth angle and geometry. An incorrect file warps the cutting edge and reduces cutting performance. Sharpening the chain periodically prolongs its life, saves fuel and improves work safety: a well-sharpened chain produces large chips instead of fine sawdust.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this product for?

Ensures proper maintenance of the cutting chains. They help maintain precision and cutting capacity throughout the life of the chain. Highlighted features: diameter: 3/16" and presentation: blister of 2 files. It is a sharpening product to keep the cutting of chainsaw chains in perfect condition. A well-sharpened chain cuts faster, consumes less fuel and reduces operator fatigue and equipment wear.

How often should I sharpen the chain?

It is advisable to review the edge whenever the chain begins to produce fine sawdust instead of large shavings, when you notice that you have to push the chainsaw to make it cut, or when excessive vibrations appear. In intensive professional use it may be necessary to sharpen several times a day; in domestic use, every few work sessions.

How do you sharpen a chain correctly?

Place the chainsaw firmly on a stable surface and lock the chain. Pass the file from the inside of the tooth to the outside at a constant angle (usually 25-30°) and in regular passes (3-5 per tooth). Sharpen all the teeth the same number of passes so that they are even. A sharpening guide helps a lot in maintaining the correct angle.

When is it better to replace the chain than sharpen it?

When the teeth have lost more than 30-40% of their original height due to successive sharpening, when cracks or deformed links appear, or when you can no longer recover the cut no matter how much you sharpen. A chain at the limit of its useful life is no longer safe and compromises work productivity.
