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 (.025") firmly across top of two cutters. Make sure depth gauge enters slot in depth gauge tool (see Figure 21).

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 22).

After several hand filings, have authorized service center or sharpening service machine sharpen chain. This will insure even filing.
