Lowering depth gauges with a fi le
1) If you sharpen your cutters with a fi le holder,
check and lower the depth.
2) Check depth gauges every third sharpening.
3) Place depth gauge tool on cutter. If depth gauge
projects, fi le it level with the top of the tool.
Always fi le from the inside of the chain toward an
outside cutter. (Fig. 48)
4) Round off front corner to maintain original shape
of depth gauge after using depth gauge tool.
Always follow the recommended depth gauge
setting found in the maintenance or operator
