Gauges - Oregon CHAINSAW Maintenance And Safety Manual

HOW TO SET DEPTH GAUGES
NOTE: Do not file or alter the tops of kickback-reducing bumper tie
straps or bumper drive links.
➍
File from the inside of the cutter to the outside, except on 72L
Vanguard series.
➎
After lowering, always file off the front corner of each depth gauge
parallel to its original rounded or ramped shape.
NOTE: On many chains, it may be helpful to tip the depth gauge tool on
end and place it in front of the working corner in order to protect
the cutting surfaces when re-shaping depth gauges.
