To adjust the depth gauge setting
Before you adjust the depth gauge setting or
sharpen the cutters, refer to
about how to sharpen the cutters on page 21 , for
instructions. We recommend you to adjust the depth
gauge setting after each third operation that you
sharpen the cutting teeth.
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 get 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.
