General information about how to adjust thedepth gauge settingThe depth gauge setting (C) decreases when yousharpen the cutting tooth (A). To keep maximum cuttingperformance you must remove filing material from thedepth gauge (B) to receive the recommended depthgauge setting. SeeTechnical data on page 22 forinstructions about how to receive the correct depthgauge setting for your saw chain.ABCWARNING: The risk of kickback increases ifthe depth gauge setting is too large!To adjust the depth gauge settingBefore you adjust the depth gauge setting or sharpenthe cutters, refer toGeneral information about how tosharpen the cutters on page 17, for instructions.
