Filing Cutter Depth Gauges
The cutter depth gauge clearance is reduced
as cutters are sharpened. After every second
or third sharpening, reset cutter depth gauges.
1. Place depth gauge tool firmly across top
of two cutters. Make sure depth gauge
enters slot in depth gauge tool (see Fig-
ure 22).
2. Use medium flat file. File depth gauge
level with depth gauge tool.
3. Remove depth gauge tool. With flat file,
round off front corner of cutter depth
gauge (see Figure 23).
After several hand filings, have authorized
service center or sharpening service machine
sharpen chain. This will insure even filing.
RECYCLING
In the event it is not practical to repair your
chain saw, be sure to follow local and coun-
try codes for recycling plastic and metallic
materials when disposing of the unit.
