GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
data for information on the size of file and gauge that are
recommended for the chain fitted to your chain saw.
Adjustment of depth gauge setting
The cutting teeth should be newly sharpened before
adjusting the depth gauge setting. We recommend
that you adjust the depth gauge setting every third
time you sharpen the cutting teeth. NOTE! This
recommendation assumes that the length of the
cutting teeth is not reduced excessively.
Check that the chain is correctly tensioned. A slack
chain will move sideways, making it more difficult to
sharpen correctly.
You will need a flat file and a depth gauge tool. We
recommend that you use our depth gauge tool to
acheive the correct depth gauge setting and bevel for
the depth gauge.
Always file cutting teeth from the inside face. Reduce
the pressure on the return stroke. File all the teeth on
one side first, then turn the chain saw and file the teeth
on the other side.
Place the depth gauge tool over the chain. Detailed
information regarding the use of the depth gauge tool,
will be found on the package for the depth gauge tool.
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.
File all the teeth to the same length. When the length
of the cutting teeth is reduced to 5/32 inch (4 mm) the
chain is worn out and should be replaced.
Tensioning the chain
General advice on adjusting depth gauge setting
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 instructions under the heading Technical
data to find the correct depth gauge setting for your
particular chain.
WARNING! A slack chain may jump off the
bar and cause serious or even fatal injury.
!
The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is
therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up
the slack.
Check the chain tension every time you refuel. NOTE! A
new chain has a running-in period during which you
should check the tension more frequently.
WARNING! The risk of kickback is
increased if the depth gauge setting is too
large!
!
Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight
that you cannot pull it round freely by hand.
