To adjust the depth gauge setting
Before you adjust the depth gauge setting
or sharpen the cutters, refer to General
information about how to sharpen the cutters
on page 24, for instructions. We recommend
you to adjust the depth gauge setting after
each third operation that you sharpen the
cutting teeth.
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
Husqvarna depth gauge tool to get 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.
3. Use the flat file to remove the part of
the depth gauge that extends through 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.
1. Loosen the bar nut that hold the clutch
cover/chain brake. Use a combination
wrench.
