11. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the body of the chain saw
Keep the body of the chain saw clean. When cleaning, use a soft cloth dipped in a soap solution. Use this cloth to
meticulously clean the body of the chain saw.
Maintaining the guide bar
Most problems with the guide bar arise due to uneven
wear.
Uneven wear occurs mainly as a result of an incorrectly
sharpened chain or an incorrectly set depth gauge. When
the guide bar is worn out unevenly, the guiding groove is
widened (see Picture). The result is a rattling chain and
rivets falling off.
The chain saw cannot be used for straight cuts. In such
a case, replace the guide bar for a new one.
Always check the condition of the guide bar before
sharpening the chain. Using a worn out or damaged guide
bar is very dangerous. Using a worn out or damaged
guide bar will result in damage to the chain. Cutting with
such
a power tool will also be much more diffi cult and
demanding.
Normal maintenance of the guide bar
Remove the guide bar from the body of the chain saw.
Regularly remove sawdust from the guide bar groove. For cleaning use a spatula or a wire.
Clean oily grooves at the end of every work day.
Replace the guide bar if:
• it is bent or cracked
• its groove is very damaged or worn out
Note: To replace the guide bar, follow the instruction contained in this user's manual. You will fi nd the
correct guide bar type in the technical specifi cations.
