To adjust the depth gauge setting
Sharpen the cutting teeth before you adjust
the depth gauge setting. See
To sharpen the
cutting teeth on page 26
. When you sharpen
the cutting tooth (A), the depth gauge setting
(C) will decrease. To maintain optimal cutting
performance, the depth gauge (B) has to be
filed down to achieve the recommended depth
gauge setting. See
Saw chain filing and saw
chain combinations on page 30
to find the
correct depth gauge setting for your particular
chain.
Note: This recommendation assumes that the
length of the cutting teeth is not reduced
excessively.
Use a flat file and depth gauge tool to adjust
the depth gauge.
1. Put the depth gauge tool above the saw
chain. Detailed information regarding how
to use the depth gauge tool will be found
on the package of the depth gauge tool.
2. Use the flat file to file off the tip of the depth
gauge that protrudes through the depth
gauge tool. The depth gauge setting is
correct when you no longer feel resistance
as you draw the file along the depth gauge
tool.
To tension the saw chain (standard chain
adjustment)
Note: Check the tension of a new saw chain
frequently during its running-in period.
1. Loosen the guide bar nuts that hold the
clutch cover. Use the combination wrench.
2. Tighten the guide bar nuts by hand as tight
as you can.
