CLEANING & CARE
1.
Replace saw chain and guide bar:
The guide bar must be replaced when the guide groove of the guide bar is worn out, or the
spur gear in the sword is damaged or worn.
Proceed as described in chapter "Mounting the guide bar and saw chain".
a)
Check the automatic chain lubrication.
b)
Regularly check the function of the automatic chain lubrication to prevent
overheating and associated damage to the sword and saw chain. To do this, point
the tip of the sword against a smooth surface (board, pruning a tree) and let the
chain saw run.
If there is an increasing trace of oil during this process, the automatic chain
lubrication works correctly.
CAUTION:
Do not touch the surface. Maintain a sufficient safety distance
(approx. 20 cm).
2.
Sharpening the saw chain:
a)
Effective work with the chainsaw is only possible if the saw chain is in good
condition and sharp. This also reduces the risk of kickback.
b)
The saw chain can be sharpened by any specialist dealer. Do not try to sharpen
the saw chain yourself if you do not have a suitable tool and the necessary
experience.
3.
Cleaning and storage:
a)
Clean the clamping mechanism regularly by blowing it out with compressed air or
cleaning it with a brush.
b)
Do not use tools for cleaning.
c)
Keep the handles oil-free to ensure a secure grip.
d)
Clean the appliance with a damp cloth and, if necessary, with a mild detergent.
e)
If the chain saw will not be used for a long period, remove the chain oil from the
tank. Place the saw chain and the sword briefly in an oil bath and then wrap them
in oiled paper.
CAUTION:
Before each cleaning, switch off the device and remove the
battery. Never immerse the device in water or other liquids for cleaning.
Keep the chainsaw in a safe and dry place and out of the reach of children.
