Maintenance and Cleaning

 Warning! Switch off, remove plug from mains before
adjusting, cleaning or if cable is cut, damaged or entan-
gled.
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to
be done by Bosch or an authorized Bosch service agent in or-
der to avoid a safety hazard.
Note: To ensure long and reliable service, carry out the follow-
ing maintenance regularly.
Regulary check the chain saw for obvious defects such as
loose, dislodged or damaged saw chain and chain bar, loose
fixings and worn or damaged components.
When disassembling the saw chain, take care that the chain is
first loosened with the chain tensioning ring 14. Disassembly
of the chain saw without first loosening the saw chain can
damage the chain saw.
Check that covers and guards are undamaged and correctly
fitted. Carry out necessary maintenance or repairs before us-
ing.

Note: Before returning the chain saw, ensure all oil in the oil

the reservoir, empty the reservoir and replace the sieve again.
Replacing/Changing the Saw Chain and Chain Bar
(see figure A)
Check the saw chain and chain bar according to section "Ten-
sioning the Saw Chain".
The circular groove of the chain bar will wear particularly on
the lower edge with time. When replacing the saw chain, turn
the chain bar by 180° to allow even wear, thus extending
chain bar life.
Reverse the chain tensioning catch 23 by removing the
screws and refitting it on the opposited side.
Check the drive sprocket 18. If it is worn out or damaged due
to strain, have it exchanged by an authorized Bosch after-
sales service.
