10.6 Guide bar
The guide bar (7) is subjected to especially severe wear and tear at the nose and the bottom.
To avoid one-sided wear and tear, turn the guide bar over every time when you sharpen the
chain.
10.7 Chain wheel
The chain wheel (15) is subjected to especially high wear and tear. If you notice deep wear
marks on the teeth, the chain wheel must be replaced. A worn chain wheel curtails the service
life of the saw chain. Have the chain wheel replaced by a specialist dealer or your Customer
Service.
10.8 Chain guard
The chain guard must be clipped onto the chain and sword as soon as the sawing work has
been completed and whenever the chainsaw has to be transported.
10.9 Chain brake
In the event of kick-back, the chain brake (3) will be actuated via the front finger guard. The
front finger guard is pushed forwards by the back of the hand and this causes the chain brake
to stop the chain saw, or rather the motor, within 0.15 s.
10.10 Releasing the chain brake
To be able to use your chain saw again, you must release the saw chain again. First switch off
the chainsaw. Then push the front finger guard (3) back into the vertical position until it locks in
place. The chain brake is now fully functional again.
10.11 Sharpening the saw chain
You can have your saw chain sharpened fast and correctly by specialist dealers, from whom
you can also obtain chain sharpening equipment to enable you to sharpen the chain yourself.
Please follow the corresponding operating instructions.
Take care of your tools. Keep your tools sharp and clean to enable you to work well and safely.
Follow the maintenance regulations and the instructions for changing tools
