Chainsaw File Guide for 4.0 mm Round File YT-85044 YATO
A galvanised steel file guide for sharpening chainsaw chains. The tool keeps a 4.0 mm round file precisely on line when sharpening the cutting teeth of the chain.
Features of the chainsaw file guide
Adjustable sharpening angle
The guide can be set to three sharpening angles: 25°, 30° and 35°. The sharpening angle determines how aggressively the chain cuts — a smaller angle (25°) is used for cutting hardwood, a larger one (35°) for softwood. Adjustment lets you match the sharpening to the job in hand.
Precise file guidance
The guide's construction holds the 4.0 mm round file steady during sharpening, preventing it from wandering and preventing uneven wear on the teeth. Consistent guidance gives every tooth on the chain the same sharpening angle and depth, which translates into an even cut.
Compatibility with 3/8" chains
The 3/8" figure is the chain pitch — the distance between three consecutive rivets divided by two. The YT-85044 guide is matched to this standard pitch, used on saws from 1.5 to 3.5 hp. The 1.5 mm gauge corresponds to typical chains for domestic and semi-professional saws.
Galvanised steel
The zinc coating protects the steel from corrosion when working in damp conditions and in contact with wood filings. The material also resists mechanical distortion when the guide is clamped to the chain with the screw clamp.

How to check file guide compatibility
Before buying, check the chain pitch — this is given on the chain packaging or in the saw's manual. A 3/8" pitch (9.32 mm) is the standard for domestic and semi-professional saws. The drive link gauge (1.5 mm) must match the groove in the saw's guide bar. The file diameter (4.0 mm) is chosen to suit the size of the cutting tooth.
Use and maintenance
The guide is clamped onto the chain with a screw clamp, which holds the tool steady during sharpening. Before starting, set the sharpening angle to suit the type of wood and the chain manufacturer's recommendations. During sharpening the guide holds the round file at a constant angle, so the same amount of material is removed from each tooth.
After sharpening, clean metal and wood filings off the guide. The screw mechanism needs occasional lubrication to keep the clamp working smoothly. Storing it in a dry place extends the life of the zinc coating.
Sharpening safety
Sharpen the chain with the saw switched off and the power disconnected. Work gloves are recommended because of the sharp edges of the cutting teeth. Push the round file away from you, keeping the pressure steady. Check the condition of the guide regularly — damage can lead to uneven sharpening.
