The cutting teeth should be newly sharpened before
adjusting the depth gauge setting. We recommend that
you adjust the depth gauge setting every third time you
sharpen the cutting teeth. NOTE! This recommendation
assumes that the length of the cutting teeth is not
reduced excessively.

will be found on the package for the depth gauge tool.
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.

The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is
therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up
the slack.
