: Repeat the procedure until the 
depth gauge is level with the filing 
gauge.
: Tighten down the knurled nut (3) 
firmly.
: Use this setting to lower all the other 
depth gauges.
The kickback tendency of the saw is 
increased if the depth gauges are 
too low.
On PM1 and RM2 chains the rear 
hump of the tie strap (with service 
mark) is lowered at the same time 
as the depth gauge. The other parts 
of the triple-humped tie strap must 
not be ground because this may 
increase the kickback tendency of 
the saw.
