Cleaning
WARNING!
Do not use water or liquid detergents.
CAUTION!
Clean the unit after every use. Failure to
clean the unit can damage the materials and
cause malfunctions.
Clean the unit with a damp cloth and
a soft brush.
Remove the chain cover, and then use
a soft brush to remove debris from the
saw rail, saw chain, chain wheel and
chain cover.
Keep the ventilation slits clean and dust-
free.
Servicing
Tensioning the saw chain
The saw chain must not sag, but it should be
possible to pull it œ-3 millimetres off the saw
rail in the middle of the saw rail.
Unscrew the handwheel anti-clockwise
until the saw rail can be moved by
hand (Œ.).
Turn the chain tensioning wheel on anti-
clockwise to tension the chain (œ.).
Turn the saw chain by hand to check that
it runs perfectly. It must slide freely in the
rail.
Tighten the handwheel to attach the rail
and the cover (3.).
Cleaning oil guide groove in the
saw rail
Remove saw rail.
Remove dirt from the oil guide groove
using a suitable tool. Use a plastic
spatula, not a steel tool!
Re-attach saw rail.
Regrinding saw chain
Special tools are required to sharpen the
saw chain and guarantee that the blades of
the chain are sharpened at the correct angle
and to the correct depth. We recommend
having the saw chain reground by specialist.
