Depending on the type of saw chain being used, the top plate filing angle could be 25°, 30° or 35°.
When using the Husqvarna combination file guides, place the file guide on the chain with the arrow pointing towards the bar nuts.
Place the file at a right angle to the rollers. This gives you the correct filing angle.
Attached is a video showing the combination file guide in operation.
