Sharpening the Saw Chain
Have your chain sharpened professionally at your authorized
Bosch after-sales service or sharpen the chain yourself using
the Bosch sharpening kit or the Dremel Multi power tool with
the appropriate grinder (1453). Observe the sharpening in-
structions provided with the sharpening kit.
Checking the Automatic Oiler
Proper functioning of the automatic saw chain oiler can be
checked by running the chain saw and pointing the tip of the
chain bar towards a piece of cardboard or paper on the
ground. Do not touch the ground with the chain and ensure a
safety clearance of 20 cm. If an increasing oil pattern devel-
opes, the automatic oiler is operating fine. If there is no oil
pattern despite a full oil reservoir, see section "Troubleshoot-
ing" or contact your authorized Bosch after-sales service.
After Use/Storage
Clean the moulded plastic housing of the chain saw using a
soft brush and clean cloth. Do not use water, solvents or pol-
ishes. Remove all debris, especially from the motor cooling
vents.
After 1 – 3 hours of use, remove the cover 15, the chain bar
11 and the saw chain 10, and clean them using a brush.
Clean the area under the cover 15, the drive sprocket 18 and
the chain bar assembly from adherant debris using a brush.
Clean the oil outlet 19 with a clean cloth.
If the chain tensioning mechanism in the cover 15 becomes
difficult to operate, remove the protective lid 27, turn the
locking knob 14 and the chain-tensioning ring 13 against
each other, so that debris is loosened from the mechanism
and can be discarded. Carefully strike or tap out debris from
the cover 15. If the mechanism is heavily clogged, use a soft
brush or compressed air for cleaning. Do not use tools of any
kind. (see figure J)
If the chain saw is to be stored for a longer period of time,
clean the saw chain 10 and the chain bar 11.
Store the chain saw in a secure, dry place, out of the reach of
children.
Please take care to place down the chain saw with the oil filler
cap 4 facing upward.
When storing in the sales packaging, the oil reservoir must be
completely emptied.
