TOP PLATE FILING ANGLE

See Figure 36.

nCORRECT 30° - File holders are marked with guide marks to align file properly to produce correct top plate angle.

nLESS THAN 30° - For Cross Cutting.

nMORE THAN 30° - Feathered Edge Dulls Quickly.

SIDE PLATE ANGLE

See Figure 37.

nCORRECT - 80o Produced automatically if correct diam- eter file is used in file holder.

nHOOK - “Grabs” and dulls quickly. Increases potential of KICKBACK.

Results from using a file with diameter too small, or file held too low.

nBACKWARD SLOPE - Needs too much feed pressure, causes excessive wear to bar and chain.

Results from using a file with diameter too large, or file held too high.

DEPTH GAUGE CLEARANCE

See Figure 38.

nThe depth gauge should be maintained at a clearance of

.025 in. Use a depth gauge tool for checking the depth gauge clearances.

nEvery time the chain is filed, check the depth gauge clear- ance.
