Gullet Angle
On most chains, the bottom edge of the cutter
gullet must have a 10° downward angle from the
outside to the inside of the cutter link, as shown in
Figure 28. This angle forces wood chips into the
path of the top plate for removal.

To tilt the chain holder for a 10° gullet angle:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Loosen the chain holder lock knob (see
Figure 29) three or four rotations.
3. Tilt the chain holder so that the correct cast-
ing tilt mark aligns with the base mark, as
illustrated in
Figure 30. This will produce a
10° gullet angle when sharpening.
4. Retighten the lock knob, then check to make
sure the tilt marks are properly aligned.
5. To bring the chain holder back to 0°, align the
casting center tilt mark with the base mark.
The gullet angle is determined by the tilt of the
chain holder. The chain holder can be tilted to 0°
or 10° in and out.
Note: Always refer to the chain manufacturer's
specifications when setting up the sharpener.
However, if this information is not available, use
the chart in
Figure 22 on Page 20 as a general
guide.
If your chain requires a 10° gullet angle, align
the outside casting tilt mark with the base mark
when sharpening right-hand cutters (see
Figures
29–30). Conversely, align the inside casting tilt
mark with the base mark when sharpening left-
hand cutters.
