To sharpen the cutting teeth on
the cutting teeth, See
page 11 , for instructions. We recommend you to adjust
the depth gauge setting after each third operation that
you sharpen the cutting teeth.
Note: This recommendation applies only if the length of
the cutting teeth does not decrease too much.
We recommend that you use our depth gauge tool to
receive the correct depth gauge setting and bevel for the
depth gauge.
1. Use a flat file and a depth gauge tool to adjust the
depth gauge setting. Only use the recommended
depth gauge tool to receive the correct depth gauge
setting and bevel for the depth gauge.
2. Put the depth gauge tool on the saw chain.
Note: See the package of the depth gauge tool for
more information about how to use the tool.

gauge that extends through the depth gauge tool.
Note: The depth gauge setting is correct when you
do not feel resistance as you move the file along the
depth gauge tool.
To tension the chain
WARNING: A saw chain with an incorrect
tension can derail from the guide bar and
cause serious injury or death.
A saw chain becomes longer when you use it. Adjust the
saw chain regularly.

brake. Use a wrench.
2. Tighten the bar nuts by hand as tightly as you can.
3. Lift the front of the guide bar and turn the chain
tensioning screw. Use a wrench.
4. Tighten the saw chain until it is tight against the
guide bar but still can move easily.
