Lowering depth gauges
The depth gauge setting is reduced
when the chain is sharpened.
N
Use a filing gauge to check the
setting every time you sharpen the
chain.
N
File down the depth gauge until it is
level with the filing gauge.
N
Place the filing gauge on the chain –
the highest point of the depth gauge
must be level with the filing gauge.

The upper part of the humped drive link
(with service marking) is lowered along
with the depth gauge.
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 other parts of the triple-
humped tie strap and humped
drive link must not be filed since
this may increase the kickback
tendency of the saw.
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.

N
After sharpening, clean the chain
thoroughly, remove filings or
grinding dust – lubricate the chain
thoroughly.
The kickback tendency of the saw
is increased if the depth gauges
are too low.
Before a long out-of-service period,
clean the chain and store it in a well-
oiled condition.
