cutting edges during this operation.
LOWERING DEPTH GAUGES
Depth gauges were set at the factory for average cutting. Wh en cutting soft
woods , depth ga u ges should be lowered for g reat er clearance. Try cutting with
the chain b efo r e lowerin g the depth gauges . If the chain feeds easily into the
ta d, le ave the depth gauges as they are.
Use a McCulloch Depth Gauge tool and a flat file to lower the depth gauges.
For most types of cutting, whether soft or hard wood, a clearance of 0.025 inch
is best. Use th e McCulloch Depth Gauge tool with the 0.025 and 0.030 inch
clearances. Both the McCulloch Depth Gauge tool and the McCulloch File Guide
are li ght and convenient enough so they can be carried in your hip pocket when
you are usin g th e saw.
