Maintenance and Cleaning
f Warning: Switch off and remove battery
from power tool before adjusting or
cleaning.
Note: To ensure long and reliable service, car-
ry out the following maintenance regularly.
For safe and proper working, always keep the
power tool and its ventilation slots clean.
Regulary check the chain saw for obvious de-
fects such as loose, dislodged or damaged
saw chain and chain bar, loose fixings and
worn or damaged components.
Check that covers and guards are undamaged
and correctly fitted. Carry out necessary
maintenance or repairs before using.
If the chain saw should fail despite the care
taken in manufacture and testing, repair
should be carried out by an authorised cus-
tomer services agent for Bosch power tools.
Note: Before returning the chain saw, ensure
all oil in the oil reservoir has been emptied.
In all correspondence and spare parts orders,
please always include the 10-digit article
number given on the type plate of the chain
saw.
Replacing/Changing the Saw Chain and
Chain Bar (see figures C1–C3)
Check the saw chain and chain bar according
to section “Tensioning the Saw Chain”.
The circular groove of the chain bar will wear
particularly on the lower edge with time.
When replacing the saw chain, turn the chain
bar by 180° to allow even wear, thus extend-
ing chain bar life.
Check the drive sprocket 28. If it is worn out
or damaged due to strain, have it exchanged
by an authorized Bosch after-sales service.
Sharpening the Saw Chain
Have your chain sharpened professionally at
your authorized Bosch after-sales service or
sharpen the chain yourself using the Bosch
sharpening kit or the Dremel Multi power tool
with the appropriate grinder (1453). Observe
the sharpening instructions provided with the
sharpening kit.
