If the cutters are not the same length,
they will have different heights. This
makes the chain run roughly and can
cause it to break.

The depth gauge setting is reduced
when the chain is sharpened.

Place a filing gauge (1) that
matches the chain pitch on the
chain and press it against the cutter

Specified distance or setting
between depth gauge and cutting
edge.
N
Place the filing gauge on the chain –
the highest point of the depth gauge
must be level with the filing gauge.
This setting may be increased by
