Lowering depth gauges
The depth gauge setting is reduced
when the chain is sharpened.
N Use a filing gauge to check the
setting every time you sharpen the
chain.

N Place a filing gauge (1) that
matches the chain pitch on the
chain and press it against the cutter
– if the depth gauge projects from
the filing gauge, the depth gauge
has to be lowered.

N File down the depth gauge until it is
level with the filing gauge.
N File the top of the depth gauge
parallel to the stamped service
marking (see arrow) – but do not
lower the highest point of the depth
gauge in this process.
The kickback tendency of the saw
is increased if the depth gauges
are too low.

the highest point of the depth gauge
must be level with the filing gauge.

The upper part of the humped drive link
(with service marking) is lowered along
with the depth gauge.
The other parts of the humped
drive link must not be filed since
this may increase the kickback
tendency of the saw.
N After sharpening, clean the chain
thoroughly, remove filings or
grinding dust – lubricate the chain
thoroughly.
N Before a long out-of-service period,
clean the chain and store it in a well-
oiled condition.
