Side Plate Angle (FIG 39)
•
Correct 80°-Produced automatically if you use the correct diameter file in the file holder.
•
HOOK – "Grabs" and dulls quickly; increases the potential of KICKBACK. Results from using a file with a diameter too
small or a file held too low.
•
BACKWARD SLOPE – Needs too much feed pressure; causes excessive wear to the bar and chain. Results from using
a file with a diameter too large or file held too high.
•
Maintain the depth gauge at a clearance of 1/32" (0.6 mm). Use a depth gauge tool for checking the depth gauge
clearances.
•
Every time the chain is filed, check the depth gauge clearance.
•
Use a flat file and a depth gauge jointer to lower all gauges uniformly. Use a 1/3''(0.6mm) depth gauge jointer. After
lowering each depth gauge, restore original shape by rounding the front. Be careful not to damage adjoining drive
links with the edge of the file.
•
Depth gauges must be adjusted with the flat in the same direction the adjoining cutter was filed with the round file.
•
Use care not to contact cutter face with flat file when adjusting depth gauges.
Depth Gauge Clearance (FIG 39)
•
The depth gauge should be maintained at a clearance of 0.025 in. (0.6 mm), as shown in Fig. 35. Use a depth gauge
tool (available separately) to check the depth gauge clearances.
•
Check the depth gauge clearance every time the chain is filed.
Use a flat file and a depth-gauge jointer (both available separately) to lower all gauges uniformly (Fig. 39). Depth-gauge
jointers are available in 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 flat file in the same direction the adjoining cutter was filed with the round file.
Use care not to contact the cutter face with the flat file when adjusting depth-gauges.
