Safety instructions for maintenance
WARNING: The cutting attachment
continues to rotate even after the throttle/
power trigger has been released. If you have
a gasoline operated product, remove the
spark plug cap from the spark plug. If you
have a battery operated product, remove the
battery from the product. Make sure that the
cutting attachment has stopped completely
before you do maintenance on the
attachment.
• Make sure that the transport guard is attached
correctly to the cutting attachment when the product
is not in use, is transported or is in storage.
• Always wear heavy-duty gloves when repairing the
cutting attachment. The cutting equipment is
extremely sharp and can easily cause cuts.
• Store the product out of reach of children.
• Use only original spare parts for repairs.

safety checks, maintenance and service instructions
described in this manual. Some maintenance and
service measures must be carried out by trained and

• Use protective gloves when you use or do
maintenance on the saw chain. A saw chain that
does not move can also cause injuries.
• Keep the cutting teeth correctly sharpened. Obey the
instructions and use the recommended file gauge. A
saw chain that is damaged or incorrectly sharpened
increases the risk of accidents.
• Keep the correct depth gauge setting. Obey the
instructions and use the recommended depth gauge
setting. Too large depth gauge setting increases the
risk of kickback.
• Make sure that the saw chain has the correct
tension. If the saw chain is not tight against the guide
bar, the saw chain can derail. An incorrect saw chain
tension increases wear on the guide bar, saw chain
and chain drive sprocket. Refer to
chain on page 12 .
• Do maintenance on the cutting equipment regularly
and keep it correctly lubricated. If the saw chain is
not correctly lubricated, the risk of wear on the guide
bar, saw chain and chain drive sprocket increases.
