N
Place a filing gauge (1) that
matches the chain pitch on the
chain – if the depth gauge projects
from the filing gauge, the depth
gauge has to be lowered.
The depth gauge determines the height
at which the cutter enters the wood and
thus the thickness of the chip removed.
N
Place the filing gauge on the chain –
the highest point of the depth gauge
must be level with the filing gauge.
a
Specified distance or setting
between depth gauge and cutting
edge.

The upper part of the humped drive link
(with service marking) is lowered along
with the depth gauge.
This setting may be increased by
mm (0.008") for cutting softwood in
the mild weather season – no frost.
0.2
The other parts of the triple-
humped tie strap and humped
drive link must not be lowered
since this may increase the
kickback tendency of the
machine.

After sharpening, clean the chain
thoroughly, remove filings or
grinding dust – lubricate the chain
thoroughly.
Lowering depth gauges
The depth gauge setting is reduced
when the chain is sharpened.
Before a long out-of-service period,
clean the chain and store it in a well-
oiled condition.
N
Use a filing gauge to check the
setting every time you sharpen the
chain.
N
File the top of the depth gauge
parallel to the stamped service
marking (see arrow) – but do not
lower the highest point of the depth
gauge in this process.
