Filing rakers on H80/Vg72 Low Kickback chain

[Gi Joe]

Have tried searching but have not really found what I want to know. How do you file down the rakers on the mentioned chain?

File the raker from the high end, don't file it from the top.

Thanks! Think I've figured out all I need to for the moment.

Thanks again guys, got it finally. Lot to get your head around for a novice.

Just wanted to say my saw is cutting like a champ vanguard chain and all. Rakers set to proper depth made the difference!
