Sharpening your chain and adjusting depth gauge setting

General information on sharpening cutting teeth

Never use a blunt chain. When the chain is blunt you have to exert more pressure to force the bar through the wood and the chips will be very small. If the chain is very blunt it will produce wood powder and no chips or shavings.

A sharp chain eats its way through the wood and produces long, thick chips or shavings.

The cutting part of the chain is called the cutter and consists of a cutting tooth (A) and the depth gauge

(B). The cutters cutting depth is determined by the difference in height between the two (depth gauge setting).

When you sharpen a cutting tooth there are four important factors to remember.
