WARNING
The other parts of the humped drive link must not
be filed since this may increase the kickback ten‐
dency of the power tool.
► File down the depth gauge until it is level with
the filing gauge.
► 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.
WARNING
The kickback tendency of the machine is
increased if the depth gauges are too low.
► Place the filing gauge on the chain – the high‐
est point of the depth gauge must be level with
the filing gauge.
