FILING THE CUTTER DEPTH
GAUGES
The cutter depth gauge clearance is reduced
as the cutting edges are sharpened. The
cutter depth gauge clearance will need to be
set after every second or third sharpening.
1. Place the depth gauge set firmly across
the top of two cutters so the depth gauge
enters the slot in the gauge set.
2. With a flat file, use a firm forward
pressure to file gauge level with depth
gauge set.
3. Round off cutter gauge depth to
maintain original shape.
Note: After several hand filings of the saw
chain it is a good practice to have your
authorized service center or sharpening ser-
vice shop precision sharpen the saw chain
on a sharpening machine to insure uniform
dimensions.
STORING YOUR CHAIN SAW
Follow these instructions when storing your
chain saw for more than 30 days.
1. Drain the oil reservoir.
2. Remove, clean and dry the guide bar
and chain.
3. Place the saw chain in a container filled
with oil to prevent rust.
4. Wipe on a coating of oil to the entire
surface of the guide bar and wrap in
heavy paper, cloth or plastic.
5. Wipe off the outside surfaces of the
saw.
6. Store the saw in a dry place out of the
reach of children.
Note: It is normal for oil seepage to occur
when the saw is not in use. Empty the oiler
reservoir after each use to prevent lubricant
from seeping.
