Cleaning the Saw Body
Cleaning the saw body
Do not use water, solvents or polishes as mediums for cleaning and maintenance.
Remove all debris, especially from the motor cooling vents.
Remove and brush clean the cover plate, chain and chain bar after one to three
hours of use.
Clean the area under the cover plate, the drive sprocket and chain bar assembly
using a soft brush.
Clean the oil outlet with a clean cloth.
If the chainsaw is to be stored for a longer period of time, clean the chain and chain
bar.
Store in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children.
Do not place other objects on the chainsaw.
To prevent leakage, ensure the machine is left in a horizontal position (oil filler cap 4
uppermost). When storing the machine in its original packaging, the oil tank must be
completely emptied.
Warning: Unplug the chainsaw from its power the source before servicing,
severe injury or death could occur from electrical shock or body contact with a
moving chain.
Warning: Cutting edges are sharp; use protective gloves when handling the
chain.
Warning: Cleaning the saw body:
Do not submerge the saw in any liquids.
Do not use products that contain ammonia, chlorine, or abrasives.
Do not use chlorinated cleaning solvents, carbon tetrachloride, kerosene, or
gasoline.
Keep the saw body clean; use a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and
water mixture, and wipe the saw body to clean.
Care of the guide bar (See Fig. S)
Uneven bar wear causes most guide bar problems, incorrect sharpening of chain
cutter and depth gauge settings often cause this, when bar wears unevenly, it
widens the guide bar groove, this causes chain clatter and rivet popping. If the saw
does not cut straight, replace the guide bar if this occurs.
Inspect the guide bar before the sharpening chain. A worn or damaged guide bar
is unsafe. A worn or damaged guide bar will damage the chain, it will also make
cutting harder.
