MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

Improper chain sharpening increases the poten- tial of kickback.

WARNING:

Failure to replace or repair damaged chain can cause serious injury.

WARNING:

Use a flat file and a depth gauge jointer to lower all gauges uniformly. Depth gauge jointers are available in .020 in. to .035 in. Use a .025 in. depth gauge jointer. After lowering each depth gauge, restore original shape by rounding the front. Be careful not to damage adjoining drive links with the edge of the file.

Depth gauges must be adjusted with the flat file in the same direction the adjoining cutter was filed with the round file. Use care not to contact cutter face with flat file when adjusting depth gauges.

The saw chain is very sharp, always wear pro- tective gloves when performing maintenance to the chain.

Depth Gauge Clearance

See Figure 36 - 38.

The depth gauge should be maintained at a clearance of .025 in. Use a depth gauge tool for checking the depth gauge clearances.

Every time the chain is filed, check the depth gauge clearance.
