Tools
for
chain maintenance
The
filing
grid
has reference marks for the filing angle and
is attached to the guide bar
by
means of a magnet.
File holders, which also have reference marks for the
filing angle, simplify chain sharpening.
If you use the
STIHL "Feilgenau", the STIHL HOS and
USG
e'lectric sharpeners or the STIHL
rivet
spinner,
always follow the separate operating, instructions supplied
with the tool.
The
filing
gauge is a universal tool for checking the filing
and side plate angles as well
as
the depth gauge setting
and cutter length.
It
can also
be
used for cleaning the
groove and oil inlet hole on the guide bar and measuring
the groove depth.
