HOW TO SET DEPTH GAUGES
■ Set depth gauges often, every 3 or 4 sharpenings,
or more often if needed.
 READ THE WARNING ON PAGE 17.
Setting your depth gauges while the chain is on
the saw requires proper chain tension, as shown on
pages 18-21 prior to filing.
Pages 35-63 show the correct depth-gauge setting
and the part number of the correct depth-gauge tool
for each of the different Oregon
®
chain types. Find
the page which gives the correct filing specifications
for your Oregon
®
chain. To do so, use the Chain
Identification chart on pages 9-11.
If unsure of your Oregon
®
chain’s type, or part
number, ask your Oregon
®
saw chain dealer, or
call the Oregon
®
technical services department at
503-653-4706 between the hours of 7:30 am and
4:00 pm, Pacific time, Monday through Friday.
