1.Place depth gauge tool firmly across top of two cutters. Make sure depth gauge enters slot in depth gauge tool (see Fig- ure 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.

Replacing Saw Chain

Replace chain when cutters are too worn to sharpen or when chain breaks. Only use replacement chain noted in this manual. Al- ways include new drive sprocket when re- placing chain. This will maintain proper driv- ing of chain. Note: For proper chain and drive sprocket, see Replacement Parts.
