As soon as the tree begins to
fall, pull out the saw from the
section, stop the motor, place
the electric chainsaw down and
leave the workplace using the
withdrawal path.
Maintenance and

cleaning

Basically, carry out mainte-
nance and cleaning works with
switched-off motor and power
plug removed. Danger of injury!
Leave any maintenance and ser-
vicing work not covered by this
manual to our Service-Center.
Use only original spare parts.
If replacement of the connecting
cable becomes necessary, this
is to be carried out by the manu-
facturer or its agent in order to
avoid safety risks. Replacement
of the plug or connecting cable
must always be executed by the
manufacturer of the electric tool
or its customer service.
Allow the machine to cool down
before all maintenance and
cleaning works. Danger of burn
injuries!
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.
