bar
► Rinse diamond abrasive chain and guide bar
with water
► Dry diamond abrasive chain and guide bar
► Spray diamond abrasive chain and guide bar

20.2 Check diamond abrasive chain
regularly
► Check the diamond abrasive chain for cracks
and damaged rivets
► Replace damaged or worn chain components
– contact a servicing dealer
Never use a dull or damaged diamond abrasive
chain – this leads to increased physical strain,
increased vibration load, unsatisfactory results
and increased wear.
If cutting performance begins to deteriorate,
check the sharpness of the diamond abrasive
chain, resharpen as needed. To do this, briefly
cut through abrasive material, e. g., sandstone,
aerated concrete or asphalt.
