Wood chips are small and powdery

During maintenance of the chain, consider the following:
D
epth gauge (or raker clearance) setting determines the height the cutter enters the wood
and the size of the wood chip that is removed. Too much clearance increases the potential for
kickback. Too little clearance decreases the size of the wood chip, thus decreasing the chain's
cutting ability.
sand on the wood, have service dealer sharpen chain.
