Require user's manual for an "efco" chain sharpener.

SHARPING A CHAIN IS JUST A LITTLE HARDER THAN YOU MAY THINK, A PROPERLY SHARPENED CHAIN IS JUST PLAIN SAFER, BRING YOUR SAW TO YOUR LOCAL SAW SHOP AND ASK THEM HOW TO DO IT YOURSELF AND BUY THE FILES AND A SPARE CHAIN CUZ IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR GOING TO NEED IT, YOU MUST THINK SAFETY THESE THINGS DON'T PLAY ! ASK ABOUT CHAPS GLOVES HEAD GEAR.. I GET FIRST DIBS ON YOUR SAW IF YOU CUT YOUR HEAD OFF.. PLEASE BE CARFARE .. JAY THE PUMP GUY IN LONGWOOD FL

thank you so much for this cool post
Efco Chainsaw Manual

Yes go to the link below to find your Owners Manual.

This problem is caused by sharpening the chain on one side more than the other or can be caused by having the angle wrong when sharpening one side which causes one side to cut better than the other. The only solution is to get it sharpened professionally. All chainsaw users have to do this every few times we sharpen them.

There are multiple chain sizes 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", 5/32", 7/32" and 3/8" chains so the /8 chain number has me guessing. After the qurestions below, here is my best guess.

Also is this for a chain grinder?" or

Are you looking of a hand held type stone?

Aluminum Oxide Chainsaw Sharpening Grinding Stone
or Ceramic stone?

I will assume that your looking for aluminum oxide stones at this time.

This is wide selection of sharpening stones.

You can also use hand held chain sharpening files of the same size that have shapening angles marked on the file set fixture.

Hopefully you have a sharpening guide that will keep your angles correct while shapening.

A safety note: Improperly sharpened chainsaw blades can be very dangerous to the user.

Thanks for using FixYa.

PDFs for each model are at the bottom of the model page.
The Tilton Equipment Company handles Tecomec in the United States.

I suggest you contact Tilton or tecomec for parts availability. Oregon sharpeners are subcontracted to tecomec Italy. It's possible Oregon parts may fit your unit. HTH

The chain saw chain sharpener is an "efco Industries" chain sharpener that was made in Italy. Type # 136 & LR# 36941 have a good day please rate bama46, thanks

There are no "efco" chain sharpeners at Northern Tool or at efcopower.com. There is a Chinese made grinder with the Northern Tool name on it. It is a lessor quality copy of an Oregon model 511A. It is such a good copy that parts and the manuals are interchangable. The 511A manual can be downloaded here: http://www.oregonchain.com/pdf/accessories/511AManual_3Lang.pdf
