Depth-Gauge Clearance
1. The depth gauge should be
maintained at a clearance of 0.025"
(0.6 mm), as shown in Fig. 38.
Use a depth gauge tool (available
separately) to check the depth
gauge clearances.
2. Check the depth-gauge clearance
every time the chain is filed. Use a
flat file and a depth-gauge jointer
(both available separately) to lower
all gauges uniformly (Fig. 39).
Depth-gauge jointers are available
from 0.020" to 0.035" (0.5 mm to
0.9 mm). Use a 0.025" (0.6 mm)
depth-gauge jointer.
3. Depth-gauges must be adjusted
with the flat file in the same
direction the adjoining cutter was
filed with the round file. Use care not to contact the cutter face with the flat file
when adjusting depth gauges.
GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE
When the guide bar shows signs of wear,
reverse it on the saw to distribute the
wear for maximum bar life (Fig. 40).
The bar should be cleaned every day after
use and be checked for wear and damage
(Fig. 41). Feathering or burring of the bar
rails is a normal process of bar wear.
Such faults should be smoothed with a
file as soon as they occur. A bar with any
of the following faults should be replaced.
◾
Wear inside the bar rails which permits the chain to lay over sideways.
◾
Bent guide bar.
