Cleaning

• Clean the machine thoroughly after
every use. In this way, you extend
the life of the machine and avoid ac-
cidents.
• Keep the gripping handles free of
petrol, oil or grease. Clean the grip-
ping handles, where appropriate, with
a moist cloth soaked in soap. Use no
solvents or petrol for cleaning!
• Clean the saw chain after every use.
Use a paint brush or wipe for that. Do
not use any liquids to clean the chain.
After cleaning, oil the chain lightly with
chain oil.
• Clean the ventilation slots and the
surfaces of the machine with a paint
brush, whisk or dry cloth. Do not use
any liquids for cleaning.

Maintenance intervals

Regularly carry out the maintenance oper-
ations listed in the following table. The life
of the saw is extended by regular main-
tenance of your chainsaw. Furthermore,
you get optimum cutting performance and
avoid accidents.

Oiling the saw chain

Clean and oil the chain regularly.
In this way, you keep the chain
sharp and get optimum machine
performance. In case of damage
due to inadequate maintenance of
the saw chain, the guarantee claim
is invalid.
Remove the power plug and use
cut-protection gloves when you are
handling the chain or the chain bar.
• Oil the chain after cleaning, after 10
hours of use or at least once weekly,
depending on which comes first.
• Before oiling, the chain bar must be
cleaned thoroughly, in particular the
teeth of the rail. Use a whisk and a dry
cloth for that.
• Oil the individual chain links with the
aid of an oil suction gun with pinpoint
tip (available in the specialist trade).
Place individual oil drops onto the ar-
ticulated links and onto the tooth tips of
the individual chain links.

Sharpening the saw chain

An incorrectly sharpened saw
chain increases the danger of
spring-back!
Use cut-protection gloves when
you are handling the chain or
the chain bar.
A sharp chain guarantees an op-
timal cutting performance. It eats
effortlessly through the wood and
leaves large, long wooden chips.
A saw chain is blunt if you have to
press the cutting equipment through
the wood and the wooden chips
are very small. In the case of a very
blunt saw chain, no chip cuttings
result at all, only sawdust.
• The sawing parts of the chain are
the cutting elements, which consist
of a cutting tooth and a depth limiting
projection. The vertical separation dis-
tance between these two determines
the sharpness depth.
• The following values must be noted in
sharpening the cutting teeth:
