more information about how to use the tool.
3. Use the flat file to remove the part of the depth
gauge that extends through the depth gauge tool.

To tighten the saw chain

WARNING: A saw chain without the correct
tension can come loose from the guide bar
and cause serious injury or death.
The more you use a saw chain the longer it becomes. It
is important to adjust the saw chain regularly.
Do a check of the saw chain tension each time you refill
with chain oil.
Note: A new saw chain has a running-in period during
which you must do a check of the tension more
frequently.
