A: You will want to use a 5/32 round file.
STIHL Files come specifically designed for each pitch of saw chain, with this particular round file suited for use with a 1/4″ pitch chain. The file size is 3.2mm x 150mm.
The right size for a file should be with file sides just over double the length of the tooth face you will be filing. With care, you can reduce the number of files needed to about two or three.
Makita`s ROUND FILE 4 mm (5/32″) is perfect for sharpening chainsaw chains.
Chainsaw chains are sharpened with special files. While some professional loggers use square files like the ones to sharpen knives, almost all other chainsaw owners use round files for sharpening. There are three common sizes of chainsaw files: 5/32, 3/16 and 7/32.
Size: 4.5 mm (11/64″)
When buying a saw file it is important to ensure it is tapered and that the width of the file is double the height of the saw teeth. Paul recommends Bahco saw files as they are long lasting and well made. Saw files technically have 6 faces, not 3, this creates a cutting face that reaches into the bottom of the gullet.
This 7/32″ (5.5mm) file suits chainsaw chain with a pitch of 3/8″.
The right sharpening angle depends on the saw chain and the wood that you want to cut. The sharpening angle will generally be between 25° and 35° – the harder the wood, the greater the angle. To maintain the correct angle, we recommend that you use a sharpening grid or a filing gauge as an aid.

A: According to customer service: The recommended file for sharpening would be a 5/32″ round file. It is recommended that a saw chain be sharpened no more than four times.
For best results use a 4.5 mm file and a file holder or filing guide to sharpen your chain. This will ensure you always get the correct sharpening angles. Place the file holder flat on the top plate and depth gauge of the cutter.
