56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW — CS1600/CS1600-FC 43
Side Plate Angle (Fig. 34)
◾
CORRECT 55°- The optimal angle
can be produced automatically if the
correct diameter le is used in the
le holder.
◾
HOOK- “Grabs” and dulls quickly.
Increases potential of KICKBACK.
Results from using a le with a
diameter that is too small, or a le
held too low.
◾
BACKWARD SLOPE- Needs too much feed pressure, causes excessive wear to bar
and chain. Results from using a le with a diameter too large, or a le held too high.
Depth Gauge Clearance
1. The depth gauge should be
maintained at a clearance of
0.025 in. (0.6 mm), as shown in
Fig. 35. Use a depth gauge tool
(available separately) to check the
depth gauge clearances.
2. Check the depth gauge clearance
every time the chain is led.
Use a at le and a depth-gauge jointer
(both available separately) to lower all
gauges uniformly (Fig. 36). Depth-gauge
jointers are available in 0.020 in. to
0.035 in. (0.5 mm to 0.9 mm). Use a
0.025 in. (0.6 mm) depth-gauge jointer.
Depth-gauges must be adjusted with the
at le in the same direction the adjoining
cutter was led with the round le. Use
care not to contact the cutter face with the at le when adjusting depth-gauges.
