689BA023 KN 689BA024 KN a Depth gauge setting The depth gauge determines the height at which the cutter enters the wood and thus the thickness of the chip removed. Distance between depth gauge and cutting edge = a: Chain pitch Depth gauge distance "a" Inch (mm) 1/4 3/8-PM 3/8-PMN 0.325 3/8 0.404 (6.35) (9.32) (9.32) (8.25) (9.32) (10.26) mm (Inch) 0.65 (0.026) 0.65 (0.018) 0.45 (0.026) 0.65 (0.026) 0.65 (0.026) 0.80 (0.031) This setting may be increased by 0.2 mm (0.008") for cutting softwood in mild weather season - no frost. Lowering depth gauges The depth gauge setting is reduced when the chain is sharpened. Use filing gauge to check the setting every time you sharpen the chain and, if necessary, lower the depth gauge with a flat or triangular file so that it is level with the filing gauge. Round off depth gauges parallel to the stamped marking. After sharpening Clean the chain thoroughly, remove filings or grinding dust - lubricate the chain by immersing it in an oil bath. Before long out-of-service period Clean the chain with a brush and immerse it in an oil bath.
