Chainsaw safety feature.

Chainsaw cutting chain depth gauge.

Safest operation of a chainsaw requires that the cutting chain is properly sharpened. The depth gauge is the small metal hump on each cutter link, in front of the cutter blade. The thickness of the wood chip cut is defined by the distance of the depth gauge below the leading edge of the cutting blade. This is defined by the chain manufacturer for each variety of chain, and is 0.65 mm on this chain. Filing the depth gauge down below this height can make the saw difficult to control and increase risk of kickback.

The chain itself is Stihl "rapid super" with 0.325 inch pitch and 1.6 mm drive link gauge.
