Do not forget to always use security gloves when
sharpening the chain. Make sure the chain is placed
correctly once it has been sharpened.
Use a special file for chainsaws when sharpening the
chain.
Place the file between points (A) and (B) and push the
file forward maintaining a 30 angle.
File all the teeth of the chain in the same manner,
filing forward at a 30 angle.
Check the security height (C), this height must be
some 0.6mm approximately. A height (C) larger than
0.6mm will cause the chain to bite the wood and
will require a higher work rate from the engine and a
lower height will mean that the chain will cut badly.
Verify the length of the cutting teeth. All teeth must
have the same length. If necessary file the teeth until
all of them have the same length.
8.3. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Do periodic maintenance inspections on the
machine to guarantee an efficient use of the machine.
For a complete check up, we highly recommend that
you take the machine to your after sales service.
Maintain the machine clean, specially the ventilating
areas of the engine.
Before carrying out any maintenance work, make sure
that the machine is not switched to the mains.
Always use original spare parts so as to guarantee
the best possible performance of the machine and
so as to avoid dangers and risks to the user and the
machine. These spare parts should be bought at the
after sales service.
The use of non original spare parts can cause
accidents, personal damage to the user and breakage
of the machine.
8.3.1. MAINTENANCE OF THE BAR
Turn the bar regularly so that it does not only wear out
from one end. The guide of the bar must always be in
perfect conditions. Verify that it maintains the same
thickness in all the bar. Replace the bar if necessary.
