2. Use a brush or hand brush to clean the saw chain
and no liquids.
3. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
4. If necessary, clean the handles with a damp cloth
washed in soapy water.
5. Keep protective devices, air vents and the motor
housing as free of dust and dirt as possible. Rub the
product clean with a clean cloth or blow it off with
compressed air at low pressure. We recommend
that you clean the product directly after every use.
6. Ventilation openings must always be free.
7. Do not use any cleaning products or solvents; they
could attack the plastic parts of the product. Make
sure that no water can penetrate the product interi-
or.
8. Clean the groove of the guide bar using a brush or
compressed air.
9. Clean the chain wheel and the spring tensioner.
12 Maintenance
Note:
Maintain the product carefully. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the product's operation.
Have damaged parts repaired before using the product.
Note:
Place the product on a level, even surface.
12.1
Checking the sprocket (15) (Fig. 2)
1. Turn the chain tensioning wheel (7) anti-clockwise
to slacken the chain tension and remove the chain
cover (8)
2. Remove the guide bar (6) and the saw chain (5).
3. Check the grooving on the chain wheel (15) with a
test gauge (not included in the scope of delivery).
4. If the grooves are deeper than a=0.5 mm, do not
use the product and consult a specialist dealer. The
chain wheel (15) must be replaced.
12.2
Checking the guide bar (6) (Fig. 2)
1. Turn the chain tensioning wheel (7) anti-clockwise
to slacken the chain tension and remove the chain
cover (8).
2. Remove the guide bar (6) and the saw chain (5).
3. Measure the groove depth of the guide bar (6) with
the scale on a file gauge (not included in scope of
delivery).
4. The guide bar (6) must be replaced if any of the fol-
lowing apply:
– The guide bar is damaged.
– The measured groove depth is smaller than the
minimum groove depth of the guide bar (4 mm).
42 | GB
– The groove of the guide bar has narrowed or
spread.
12.3
Changing the guide bar (6) (Fig. 2)
1. Turn the chain tensioning wheel (7) anti-clockwise
to slacken the chain tension and remove the chain
cover (8).
2. Remove the guide bar (6) and the saw chain (5).
For dismantling, hold the guide bar (6) swivelled up-
wards at an angle of approx. 45 degrees to make it
easier to remove the saw chain (5) from the groove
of the guide bar (6).
3. Replace the guide bar (6) and fit the guide bar (6)
and saw chain (5) as described under Fit/remove
the chainsaw guide bar (12) and saw chain (11)
(Fig. 2).
12.4
Replace the saw chain (5) and
allow it to run in (Fig. 2)
WARNING
Serious injuries possible due to tearing or
jumping off of the sawtooth!
–
Never fit a new saw chain on a worn sprocket or
on a damaged or worn guide rail. The saw chain
could jump off or break.
• Only use saw chains and blades designed for this
product.
• Before changing the saw chain, clean the groove of
the guide bar, as the saw chain may jump out of the
bar if it dirty. The deposits can also soak up the
chain oil. The consequence would be that the chain
oil does not reach the underside of the guide bar, or
only to a small extent, and lubrication is reduced.
1. Turn the chain tensioning wheel (7) anti-clockwise
to slacken the chain tension and remove the chain
cover (8).
2. Remove the guide bar (6) and the saw chain (5).
3. Lay out the saw chain (5) in a loop so that the cut-
ting edges are aligned clockwise. To align the saw
chain (5), follow the symbols (arrows) on the saw
chain (5) or above the guide pin (17).
4. Place the saw chain (5) in the groove of the guide
bar (6).
5. Insert the guide bar (6) on the guide pin (17) and
the stud bolt (16). The guide pin (17) and the stud
bolt (16) must be in the elongated hole on the guide
bar (6).
6. Guide the saw chain (5) around the chain wheel
(15) and check the alignment of the saw chain (5).
7. Fit the chain cover (8) back on.
Make sure that the chain cover (8) sits in the groove
on the housing.
8. Tighten the tensioning wheel (7) clockwise hand-
tight.
