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.
N Find the shortest cutter and then file
all other cutters back to the same
length. It is best to have this work
done in the workshop on an electric
grinder.
Depth gauge setting
The depth gauge determines the height
at which the cutter enters the wood and
thus the thickness of the chip removed.
a Specified distance or setting
between depth gauge and cutting
edge.
This setting may be increased by
0.2 mm (0.008 in.) for cutting softwood
in the mild weather season – no frost.
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 Place a filing gauge (1) that
matches the chain pitch on the
chain and press it against the cutter
– if the depth gauge projects from
the filing gauge, the depth gauge
has to be lowered.
N File down the depth gauge until it is
level with the filing gauge.
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 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.

The kickback tendency of the
machine is increased if the depth
gauges are too low.
The other parts of the humped
drive link must not be filed since
this may increase the kickback
tendency of the power tool.
