Maintaining TriLink Saw Chain
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
After sharpening a chain’s cutters 3 or 4 times with a round le, it is
necessary to check the height of the depth gauge.
To do this:
1. Place depth guide tool over chain, near mid point of guide bar, so that the
chain’s depth gauge extends through slot.
2. If the cutter’s depth gauge extends above the slot in the depth gauge, le
the cutter’s depth gauge down with at le until it is level with the depth gauge
tool. Make sure to keep the round prole on the front of the cutter’s depth gauge.
The depth gauge must be led down, as your leading edge is shortened, to
allow the leading edge to catch the cutting surface. A depth gauge that is not
maintained will cause insufcient cutting. However, if the depth gauge is led
too low it will cause a rough cut and rise the chances of kickback.
