English markings on the file holder - rest the file holder on the tooth head and the depth gauge N File only from the inside outward N The file only sharpens on the forward stroke - lift the file on the backstroke N Do not file tie straps and drive links N Rotate the file a little periodically in order to avoid uneven wear N To remove file burr, use a piece of hardwood N Check angle with file gauge All cutters must be equally long. With varying cutter lengths, the cutter heights also vary and cause rough running of the saw chain and chain breakage. N All cutters must be filed down equal to the length of the shortest cutter - ideally, one should have this done by a servicing dealer using an electric sharpener Depth gauge setting a The depth gauge determines the depth to which the cutter penetrates the wood and thus the chip thickness. 689BA023 KN a Required distance between depth gauge and cutting edge When cutting softwood outside of the frost season, the distance can be increased by up to 0.2 mm (0.008").

N Check the depth gauge setting after each sharpening 1 2 N Lay the appropriate file gauge (1) for the chain pitch on the saw chain and press it against the cutter to be checked - if the depth gauge protrudes past the file gauge, the depth gauge must be reworked 689BA061 KN Saw chains with humped drive link (2) - upper part of the humped drive link (2) (with service mark) is lowered at the same time as the depth gauge of the cutter. The rest of the humped drive link must not be filed; otherwise, this could increase the tendency of the chain saw to kick back. N Rework the depth gauge so that it is flush with the file gauge N Afterwards, dress the leading edge of the depth gauge parallel to the service mark (see arrow) - when doing this, be careful not to further lower the highest point of the depth gauge Depth gauges that are too low increase the kickback tendency of the chain saw. 689BA044 KN 689BA051 KN 44 MS 192 C
