Note:
With a new saw chain, the tensioning force decreases af-
ter some time. Therefore, you must retension the saw
chain after the first 5 cuts, or after 10 minutes of sawing at
the latest.

The saw chain can be resharpened at an authorised spe-
cialist workshop. Do not attempt to sharpen the saw chain
yourself if you do not have a suitable tool and the neces-
sary experience.
CAUTION
Special tools are required to sharpen the chain; these
ensure that the cutting tools are sharpened at the cor-
rect angle and to the correct depth.
All cutting links must have the same width and length
after sharpening.
Notes:
A sharp saw chain ensures optimum cutting performance.
It effortlessly eats through the wood, leaving behind large,
long wood chips.
A saw chain is blunt if you have to push the cutting equip-
ment through the wood and the wood chips are very
small. With a very blunt saw chain, no chips are produced
at all, only wood dust.
