Maintenance and Servicing

Always withdraw the plug when carrying out
maintenance and servicing.
• Always remove wood shavings and oil from your chain
saw after use. Ensure in particular that the motor ven-
tilation slits for cooling the motor in the housing of the
chain saw is free (danger of overheating).
• If the saw chain is particularly dirty, e.g. in case of
gumming with resin, remove the chain and clean it.
Place the chain for a few hours in a vessel containing
chainsaw cleaner. There-after clean the chain with
clear water. If the chain is not used again immediately,
it must be treated with service spray or a customary
anticorrosion-spray.
• Only in case of use of biological oil: As some biologi-
cal oils may tend to incrustation after a time, the oiling
system should be rinsed thoroughly before storing the
chain saw for a longer period. Therefore, please fill
half of the oil reservoir (about 50 ml) with chainsaw
cleaner and close it as usually. Then switch on the
chainsaw - without bar and chain being mounted - and
keep it running until the total rinsing liquid has evapu-
rated through the oil opening of the chain saw. Before
using the chain saw again, it is absolutely necessary
to refill the oil reservoir.
• Do not store the saw outdoors or in damp and moist
areas.
• Check all the chain saw parts, in particular the chain,
bar and sprocket, of wear after every use.
• Ensure that the chain tension is correct. If the chain
is too loose, it may come off during use and lead to
injuries. The chain must be replaced immediately if it
is damaged. The cutting teeth must be at least 4 mm
long.
• Check the motor housing and power cable after every
use for damage. If there is any sign of damage, have
the chain saw checked by a specialised workshop or
the works after-sales service.
• Check the oil level and lubrication of your chain saw
after every use. Insufficient lubrication leads to dam-
age to the chain, bar and motor.
• Check how keen the chain is every time before you
use the chain saw. A blunt chain will cause overheat-
ing of the motor.
• Sharpening a saw chain requires experience and spe-
cialised knowledge. We therefore recommend to have
sharpening carried out by a specialised workshop.
• Before transporting the chainsaw, always remove the
plug from the power socket and slide the chain guard
over the rail and chain. If several cuts are to be per-
formed with the chain saw, the saw must be switched
off between cuts.
• When using a vehicle to transport the machine, posi-
tion it so that it can cause no danger to persons and
fasten it firmly.

In the case of technical problems

• The machine does not start up: Check whether the
current socket is live. Check whether the power cable
is undamaged. If neither case applies, take the chain

saw to a specialised workshop or the works after-sales
service.
• Chain does not run: Check position of handguard (see
ill. 7). Chain only runs if handguard brake is released.
• Sparks fly at the motor: Motor or carbon brushes
damaged. Take the chain saw to a specialised work-
shop or the works after-sales service.
• Oil does not flow: Check the oil level. Clean the oil
flow openings in the bar (see also the corresponding
hints of "Maintenance and servicing). If this is not suc-
cessful, take the chain saw to a specialised work-shop
or the works after-sales service.
