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 21 , 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 Husqvarna 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.
To tighten the saw chain
WARNING: A saw chain without the correct
tension can come loose from the guide bar
and cause serious injury or death.
The more you use a saw chain the longer it becomes. It
is important to adjust the saw chain regularly.
Do a check of the saw chain tension each time you refill
with chain oil.

Note: A new saw chain has a running-in period during
which you must do a check of the tension more
frequently.
1. Loosen the bar nut(s) that hold the drive sprocket
cover and chain brake. Use a wrench.
2. Lift the front of the guide bar and turn the chain
tensioning screw. Use a wrench.
3. Tighten the saw chain as much as possible. It must
be tight against the guide bar.
4. Tighten the bar nut(s) using the wrench and lift the
front of the guide bar at the same time.
5. Make sure you can pull the saw chain around freely
by hand and that it does not hang from the bottom of
the guide bar.
6. Do a check of the chain tension frequently until the
saw chain is run-in.
