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 ma- chine sharpen chain. This will insure even ﬁling.
