Lowering the depth gauges
The depth gauge setting is lowered
when the cutter is sharpened.
N Check the depth gauge setting after
each sharpening
1
N Lay the appropriate file gauge for
the chain pitch (1) on the saw chain
and press it against the cutter to be
checked – if the depth gauge
protrudes past the file gauge, the
depth gauge must be reworked

flush with the file gauge

Afterwards, dress the leading edge
of the depth gauge parallel to the
service mark (see arrow) – when
doing this, be careful not to further
lower the highest point of the depth
gauge
Depth gauges that are too low
increase the kickback tendency of
the chain saw.

N Lay the file gauge on the saw chain
– the highest point of the depth
gauge must be flush with the file

The upper part of the humped drive link
(with service mark) is lowered at the
same time as the depth gauge of the
cutter.
The rest of the humped drive link
must not be filed; otherwise, this
could increase the tendency of the
chain saw to kick back.
N
After sharpening, clean the saw
chain thoroughly, removing any
filings or grinding dust – lubricate
the saw chain thoroughly
N In the event of extended periods of
disuse, store saw chains in cleaned
and oiled condition
