depth gauge setting. Only use Husqvarna depth
gauge tool to get the correct depth gauge setting and
bevel for the depth gauge.
2. Put the depth gauge tool on the saw chain.
Note: See the package of the depth gauge tool for
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 tension the chain
