To adjust the depth gauge setting

Before you adjust the depth gauge setting or sharpen the cutting teeth, See To sharpen the cutting teeth, for instructions. We recommend you to adjust the depth gauge setting after each third operation that you sharpen the cutting teeth.

Note: This recommendation applies only if the length of the cutting teeth does not decrease too much.

We recommend that you use our depth gauge tool to receive the correct depth gauge setting and bevel for the depth gauge.

Use a flat file and a depth gauge tool to adjust the depth gauge setting. Only use Husqvarna depth gauge tool to receive the correct depth gauge setting and bevel for the depth gauge.
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.
Use the flat file to remove the part of the depth gauge that extends through the depth gauge tool.

Note: The depth gauge setting is correct when you do not feel resistance as you move the file along the depth gauge tool.
