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
50
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 pro-
jection. The vertical separation dis-
tance between these two determines
the sharpness depth.
• The following values must be noted in
sharpening the cutting teeth:
G - Sharp edge angle (30°)
- Breast angle (85°)
- Sharpness depth (0.65 mm)
Deviations from the measure-
ment data of the cutting geom-
etry can lead to an increase of
the spring-back slope of the
machine. Increased danger of
accident!
Special tools are necessary for sharpen-
ing the chain, which guarantee that the
cutting edges are sharpened at the cor-
rect angle and to the correct depth. For
the inexperienced user of chainsaws,
we recommend to have the saw chain
sharpened by a specialist or a specialist
workshop. If you think yourself capable of
sharpening the chain, you can acquire the
special tools in the specialist trade.

1. Switch the saw off and unplug it
from the mains.
2. Remove the saw chain (refer
to the section on operating
the saw). The chain should be
well-tensioned to ensure proper
sharpening.
3. For the sharpening, a round file
with 4.0 mm diameter is neces-
sary.
