POLE SAW ATTACHMENT — PSA100030

Side Plate Sharpening Angle

(Fig. 23)



CORRECT 55°- The optimal angle

can be produced automatically if the

correct diameter le is used in the

le holder.



HOOK- “Grabs” and dulls quickly.

Increases potential of KICKBACK.

Results from using a le with a

diameter that is too small, or a le held too low.



BACKWARD SLOPE- Needs too much feed pressure, causes excessive wear to bar

and chain. Results from using a le with a diameter too large, or a le held too

high.

Depth-Gauge Clearance

1. The depth gauge should be

maintained at a clearance of 0.025

in. (0.6 mm), as shown in Fig. 24.

Use a depth-gauge tool (available

separately) to check the depth-

gauge clearances.

2. Check the depth-gauge clearance

every time the chain is led.

Use a at le and a depth-gauge jointer

(both available separately) to lower all

gauges uniformly (Fig. 25). Depth-gauge

jointers are available from 0.020 in. to

0.035 in. (0.5 mm to 0.9 mm). Use a

0.025 in. (0.6 mm) depth-gauge jointer.

Depth gauges must be adjusted with the

at le in the same direction the adjoining

cutter was led with the round le. Use

care not to contact the cutter face with the at le when adjusting depth gauges.
