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.

while filing to avoid one-sided wear.
Use a piece of hardwood to remove
burrs from cutting edge.
Check angles with the filing gauge.
All cutters must be the same length.
