instructions about how to receive the correct depth
gauge setting for your saw chain.
WARNING: The risk of kickback increases if
the depth gauge setting is too large!
To adjust the depth gauge setting
Before you adjust the depth gauge setting or sharpen
To sharpen the cutting teeth on
the cutting teeth, See
page 19 , for instructions. We recommend you to adjust
the depth gauge setting after each third operation that
you sharpen the cutting teeth.
Note: This recommendation applies only if the length of
the cutting teeth does not decrease too much.
We recommend that you use our depth gauge tool to
receive the correct depth gauge setting and bevel for the
depth gauge.
1. Use a flat file and a depth gauge tool to adjust the
depth gauge setting. Only use the recommended
depth gauge tool to receive the correct depth gauge
setting and bevel for the depth gauge.
2. Put the depth gauge tool on the saw chain.
Note: See the package of the depth gauge tool for
more information about how to use the tool.
3. Use the flat file to remove the part of the depth
gauge that extends through the depth gauge tool.
Note: The depth gauge setting is correct when you
do not feel resistance as you move the file along the
depth gauge tool.

cause serious injury or death.
A saw chain becomes longer when you use it. Adjust the

tensioning screw. Use a wrench.
4. Tighten the saw chain until it is tight against the
guide bar but still can move easily.

front of the guide bar at the same time.
