that is exactly how i did the adjustment...they dont like to open them up for us "home owners" because they think we may blow them up...well i cut a fair amount of wood every year to heat my house and to sell that im a bit above a home owner..lol..(approx 20-30 tri-axels worth)and also used to work in a stihl shop part time for a number of years..

and as far as the rakers they have not been touched on this new chain or the non safety chain i had on it before hand..because i wanted to see if i did take too much off them on my first chain..but it dosent seem to cut any better with the non touched chain..it just acts like the clutch is too weak to support the RPM's..you can cut into a pine log thats 10 inches across back the saw off and wind it wide open to max RPM's and the chain will stop almost instantly if you dig the saw in to get a meaty bite...now if you let the saw cut by its own weight sort speaking it will cut but still if you apply any good amount of down pressure the chain stops..like i said it may not be the saw but in my mind it should do better than its doing.
