WARNING
Danger of injury when handling the saw
chain or the blade!
–
Wear cut-resistant gloves.
1. We recommend that you clean the product directly af-
ter every use.
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 grasp-
ing 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 interior.
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 (17) (Fig. 2)
1. Turn the chain tensioning wheel (9) anti-clockwise to
slacken the chain tension and remove the chain cover
(10)
2. Remove the guide bar (8) and the saw chain (7).
3. Check the grooving on the chain wheel (17) 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 (17) must be replaced.
12.2
Checking the guide bar (8) (Fig. 2)
1. Turn the chain tensioning wheel (9) anti-clockwise to
slacken the chain tension and remove the chain cover
(10).
2. Remove the guide bar (8) and the saw chain (7).
3. Measure the groove depth of the guide bar (8) with
the scale on a file gauge (not included in scope of de-
livery).
4. The guide bar (8) must be replaced if any of the fol-
lowing apply:
36 | GB
– The guide bar is damaged.
– The measured groove depth is smaller than the
minimum groove depth of the guide bar (4 mm).
– The groove of the guide bar has narrowed or
spread.
12.3
Changing the guide bar (8) (Fig. 2)
1. Turn the chain tensioning wheel (9) anti-clockwise to
slacken the chain tension and remove the chain cover
(10).
2. Remove the guide bar (8) and the saw chain (7).
For dismantling, hold the guide bar (8) swivelled up-
wards at an angle of approx. 45 degrees to make it
easier to remove the saw chain (7) from the groove of
the guide bar (8).
3. Replace the guide bar (8) and fit the guide bar (8) and
saw chain (7) as described under Fit/remove the
chainsaw guide bar (12) and saw chain (11) (Fig. 2).
12.4
Replace the saw chain (7) and
allow it to run in (Fig. 2)
DANGER
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 (9) anti-clockwise to
slacken the chain tension and remove the chain cover
(10).
2. Remove the guide bar (8) and the saw chain (7).
3. Lay out the saw chain (7) in a loop so that the cutting
edges are aligned clockwise. To align the saw chain
(7), follow the symbols (arrows) on the saw chain (7)
or above the guide pin (19).
4. Place the saw chain (7) in the groove of the guide bar
(8).
5. Insert the guide bar (8) on the guide pin (19) and the
stud bolt (18). Both guide pins (19) and the stud bolt
(18) must be in the elongated hole on the guide bar
(8).
6. Guide the saw chain (7) around the chain wheel (17)
and check the alignment of the saw chain (7).
7. Fit the chain cover (10) back on.
Make sure that the chain cover (10) sits in the groove
on the housing.
8. Tighten the tensioning wheel (9) clockwise hand-tight.
9. Recheck the seating of the saw chain (7) and tension
the saw chain (7) as described under 8.2.
