lift the chain off the guide bar and set it aside. Clean oil and saw dust out of the area under
the plastic cover with a brush of blow it out with compressed air. Be especially sure to clean
out the oil duct.
Clean the groove of the guide bar with a suitable tool of blow it out with compressed air. Take
special care to clean the oil ducts in the guide bar.
Inspect the chain guides for wear and if necessary carefully smooth them with a file and
emery cloth. If the guide bar is at some point worn beyond repair it must be replaced with a
new one. Guide bars can be ordered from the Westfalia Werkzeug Company. (Best. Nr. 55
59 79).
Lay the new chain into the groove. Observe the correct cutting direction. There are
directional arrows on the chain, which must correspond with the arrows on the housing.
Now mount chain and guide bar. Lay the chain around
the drive sprocket and set the guide bar down onto the
unit.
Make sure the chain tensioner (14) snaps into the hole in
the guide bar.
Remount the plastic cover and tension the chain.
Liberally oil it with chainsaw oil and let the chain run for a
few moments. After that check the chain tension, if
necessary adjust it.
After every second chain worn out, the drive sprocket
should be changed.
A set of two saw chains and one drive sprocket is
available from the Westfalia Werkzeug Company. To
change the drive sprocket, remove the spring ring from
the drive shaft
and pull the drive sprocket and the two washers off the drive shaft. If necessary use a
penetrating lubricant. After that slide the parts included in the
rebuild set onto the drive shaft and secure them with the spring ring.
Chain Tension
The chain should not be too loose, but you should be able to lift it off the guide
bar a few millimetres. Use the chain tensioner to tension the chain.
Always pull the power plug before undertaking any maintenance work.
The Allen head screw of the chain tensioner is at the front of the pole saw's hear next to the
guide bar. Turning it clockwise tightens the chain, turning it counter-clockwise slackens the
chain. Beware of the sharp edges of the saw chain.
