Go to YouTube and search exactly for " Stihl Chain Saw sharpener " . There are some great videos on how to use the tool and they show the results. This is how I learned the proper technique. As I also said, check the pitch on your chains. Should be marked on the bar or, if you have replaced them, on the package. You need to match the pitch on the sharpener to your chain. The nice thing is that if you need to replace the files, it is a simple change out. I just could not belie how I went form sawdust nice chips. It really makes a difference when you can take the depth gauges down at the same time with simple strokes. When you file, you need to keep some pressure down on the chain so that the depth files actually cut into the gauges. But the video's are extremely helpful !!!!!!!!!!!
