Sharpening of saw chain

For sharpening a saw chain some expertise is necessary.
The saw chain must be regrinded in a specialised shop.
You can also sharpen your saw chain yourself by using our
electric sharpener KSG 220 (article-no.: 302360).
You can only work safely and well with a sharp and
clean saw chain.

Exchanging saw chain and sword

Saw chain and sword are exposed to great wearing
demands. Immediately exchange saw chain and sword
when the faultless function is not guaranteed.
Put the chain saw with motor downward on an even
face.
Remove the cover (10) by loosening the fastening
screw (11). 1
Turn the chain clamper (22) anti-clockwise in order to
release the saw chain a bit.
Take off the sword with saw chain.
3
Clean the guide slot thouroughly when only the saw
chain is exchanged.
When assembling, pay attention that the chain links are
lying correctly within the guide slot and on the chain
wheel (13). 4
Turn the chain clamp (22) clockwise until the saw chain
is clamped.
Now, refasten the cover (10).
Clamp the saw chain as described in paragraph
„Clamping of saw chain".

Chain wheel

The demand of the chain wheel (13) is particularly great.
Check regularly the teeth of the chain wheel for wear or
damages.
A worn or damaged chain wheel reduces the durability of
the saw chain and should therefore immediately be
exchanged by the customer service.

Checking of the oil automatic

Check the function of the automatic chain lubrication by
switching on the chain saw and holding it with the pike in
direction of a carton or paper on the ground.
Do not get in contact with the ground with the chain.
Keep a safe distance of 20 cm.
If an increasing oil track is caused when checking it the oil
automatic works faultless.
If there is no oil track despite full oil tank
clean the oil flow canal (14) and the upper chain
clamping boring (15).
If this is not successful please contact the customer
service.

Cleaning

Clean the chain saw thouroughly after each application so
that the faultless function is kept.
Clean the case with a soft brush or a dry cloth.
Water, solvents and polishing agents shall not be
applied.
Pay attention to that the ventilation slots for the motor
cooling are free (risk of overheating).
After a lomger application period (1 – 3 hours)
disassemble the cover, the sword and the chain and
clean them with a brush.
In case of harder pollution or resins put the chain for
some hours in a container with chain cleaner.
Afterwards wash up the chain with clear water.
Remove all adhering substances with a brush from the
chain wheel and the sword fastening.
Clean the oil flow canal with a clean cloth.
