FILING THE CUTTER DEPTH GAUGES
The cutter depth gauge clearance is reduced as the cutting edges are sharpened. The cutter depth gauge clearance will need to be set after every second or third sharpening.
1.Place the depth gauge set firmly across the top of two cutters so the depth gauge enters the slot in the gauge set.
2.With a flat file, use a firm forward pressure to file gauge level with depth gauge set.
3.Round off cutter gauge depth to maintain original shape.
Note: After several hand filings of the saw chain it is a good practice to have your authorized service center or sharpening ser- vice shop precision sharpen the saw chain on a sharpening machine to insure uniform dimensions.

Follow these instructions when storing your chain saw for more than 30 days.
1.Drain the oil reservoir.
2.Remove, clean and dry the guide bar and chain.
3.Place the saw chain in a container filled with oil to prevent rust.
4.Wipe on a coating of oil to the entire surface of the guide bar and wrap in heavy paper, cloth or plastic.
5.Wipe off the outside surfaces of the saw.
6.Store the saw in a dry place out of the reach of children.
