CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Side plate angle

• Correct 80° – Produced automatically if you use the

correct diameter le in the le holder.

• Hook – “Grabs” and dulls quickly; increases the

potential of kickback. Results from using a le with a

diameter too small or a le held too low.

• Backward Slope – Needs too much feed pressure;

causes excessive wear to the bar and chain. Results

from using a le with a diameter too large or le held

too high.

Side plate angle

• Maintain the depth gauge at a clearance of 1/32 in.

(0,79 mm). Use a depth gauge tool for checking the

depth gauge clearances.

• Every time the chain is led, check the depth gauge

clearance.

• Use a at le and a depth gauge jointer to lower all

gauges uniformly. Use a 1/32 in. (0,79 mm) depth

gauge jointer.
