Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Do not use
solvents to clean the plastic housing of the saw. Never let any liquid
get inside the toot; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
iMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
maintenance and adjustment should be performed by authorized
service centers or other qualified service organizations, always using
identical replacement parts.
Regular maintenance ensures a long effective life for your chain
saw. We recommend you make the following checks on a regular
basis:
Chain and Bar
After every few hours of use, remove the guide bar and chain and
clean thoroughly.
Saw Chain Sharpening
z_CAUTION: Sharp chain. Always wear protective gloves when
handling the chain. The chain is sharp and can cut you when it is
not running.
z_WARNING: Sharp moving chain. To prevent accidental
operation, insure that battery is disconnected from the tool
before performing the following operations. Failure to do this
could result in serious personal injury.
To get the best possible performance from your chain saw it is
important to keep the teeth of the chain sharp. Follow these helpful
tips for proper saw chain sharpening:
1. For best results use a 4.5mm file and a file holder or filing guide
to sharpen your chain. This will ensure you always get the correct
sharpening angles.
2. Place the file holder flat on the top plate and depth gauge of the
cutter.
