Depth gauge setting
The depth gauge determines the height at which the cutter
enters the wood and thus the thickness of the chip
removed. (a-Specified distance or setting between depth
gauge and cutting edge.)This setting may be increased by
0.2 mm (0.008 in.) for cutting softwood in the mild weather
season
–
no frost.
Chain pitch
Depth gauge setting
3/8”(9.32mm)
0.026”(0.65mm)
1/4”(6.35mm)
0.026”(0.35mm)
Lowering depth gauges
The depth gauge setting is reduced when the
chain is sharpened.
Use a filing gauge to check the setting every
time you sharpen the chain.
Place a filing gauge (1) that matches the chain
pitch on the chain and press it against the
cutter
–
if the depth gauge projects from the
filing gauge, the depth gauge has to be lowered.
File down the depth gauge until it is level with
the filing gauge.
File the top of the depth gauge parallel to the
stamped service marking (see arrow)
–
but do
not lower the highest point of the depth gauge in
this process.
Place the filing gauge on the chain
–
the highest
point of the depth gauge must be level with the
filing gauge.
The kickback tendency of the machine is increased if the depth gauges are too low.
PMC3, PMMC3
The upper part of the humped drive link (with service marking) is lowered along with
the depth gauge.
After sharpening, clean the chain thoroughly, remove filings or grinding dust
–
lubricate the chain thoroughly.
Before a long out-of-service period, clean the chain and store it in a well-oiled
condition
The other parts of the humped drive link must not be filed since this may increase the
kickback tendency of the power tool.
WARNING!
You must use the saw chain and guide bar, which we are recommended. If you use non
approved cutting attachments (saw chain and guide bar), that maybe cause risk of injury.
