2-In-1 Sharpening Design
The STIHL 2-in-1 file guide completes two important sharpening steps at the same time. As the round files sharpen the chain cutters, the flat file lowers the depth gauges to help maintain proper chain cutting performance.
This helps simplify chain maintenance and makes it easier to keep your chainsaw working efficiently, especially when sharpening in the shop, garage, service area, or on the job.
Designed for 3/8" Picco Chain
STIHL 5605 750 4303 is made specifically for 3/8" Picco chain. Before ordering, check the markings on your guide bar, chain packaging, owner’s manual, or current chain to confirm the correct pitch.

Why Use the STIHL 2-In-1 File Guide?
A sharp saw chain cuts faster, runs smoother, and puts less strain on the saw. The STIHL 2-in-1 file guide helps users maintain both cutter sharpness and depth gauge height with a simple, guided filing motion.
- Combines two sharpening steps into one tool
- Helps improve sharpening consistency
- Useful for regular chainsaw maintenance
- Helps maintain proper chip removal and cutting performance
- Reduces the need to file cutters and depth gauges separately
- Factory STIHL accessory for supported chain types
When Should You Sharpen Your Chain?
Sharpen your chain when cutting performance drops or when the saw begins producing fine dust instead of proper wood chips. A dull chain can make the saw harder to control and may increase wear on the bar, chain, sprocket, and powerhead.
- Chain produces fine dust instead of chips
- Saw cuts slowly or requires extra pressure
- Chain pulls to one side while cutting
- Cutters look rounded, dull, or damaged
- Chain has contacted dirt, rock, metal, or debris
- Depth gauges need maintenance for proper cutting action
