MAiNTENANCE AND CLEANiNG
Chain sharpening requires these tools
(available in a kit from OREGON®; see
"Specifications and components"):
• File guide
• 4 5 mm round saw chain sharpening file
(use only special saw chain sharpening
files)
• 0 025 inch (0 65 mm) depth gauge tool
• Flat file
After collecting the tools, wear gloves
and eye protection, and remove the
battery Then, file the chain to set the
depth gauge:
• Loosen the side cover knob and remove
side cover
• Adjust the tensioning screw as far back
toward the rear of the cutting head as it
will go
• Remove the chain
• Place the chain in a vise to hold it steady
• Place the depth gauge tool on top of
the chain so that one depth gauge
protrudes through the slot in the tool
• If the depth gauge extends above the
top of the slot, file the depth gauge
down level with the top of the tool
using a flat file (Fig 34) Never file the
depth gauge down enough to exceed
the depth gauge setting specified in this
