To Tension The Saw Chain; To Adjust The Depth Gauge Setting - Husqvarna 120 Mark II Manual Del Usuario

A

To adjust the depth gauge setting

Sharpen the cutting teeth before you adjust the
depth gauge setting. See
teeth on page 19 . When you sharpen the cutting
tooth (A), the depth gauge setting (C) will decrease.
To maintain optimal cutting performance, the depth
gauge (B) has to be filed down to achieve the
recommended depth gauge setting. See
filing and saw chain combinations on page 23 to
find the correct depth gauge setting for your
particular chain.
Note: This recommendation assumes that the length
of the cutting teeth is not reduced excessively.
Use a flat file and depth gauge tool to adjust the
depth gauge.

1. Put the depth gauge tool above the saw chain.
Detailed information regarding how to use the
depth gauge tool will be found on the package of
the depth gauge tool.
2. Use the flat file to file off the tip of the depth
gauge that protrudes through the depth gauge
tool. The depth gauge setting is correct when you
no longer feel resistance as you draw the file
along the depth gauge tool.
