Starting up a new saw chain
In the case of a new chain, the tensioning
force decreases after some time. There-
fore you must re-tension the chain after
the first 5 cuts and at longer intervals after
this.
Never attach a new chain to a
worn drive pinion or place onto
a damaged or worn chain bar.
The chain could spring back or
break, potentially leading to se-
rious injury.
Waste disposal
and environmental
protection
Do not dispose of used oil in the sewage
system or drains. Dispose of used oil in
an environmentally correct manner - bring
it to a waste disposal center.
Be environmentally friendly. Return the
tool, accessories and packaging to a recy-
cling centre when you have finished with
them.
Machines do not belong with do-
mestic waste.
Empty the oil tank carefully and hand in
your electric chainsaw at a disposal cent-
er. The plastic and metal parts employed
can be separated out and thus recycled
use can be implemented. Ask our Service-
Center for details (see P. 117 for the ad-
dress).
Maintaining the chain bar
Use cut-protection gloves when
handling the chain or the chain
bar.
The chain bar must be turned round every 10
working hours, in order to guarantee uniform
wear.
To ensure consistent wear on either side,
the bar (4) should be turned over every
about 10 hours of operation.
Turning over the bar (4) requires you to
move the tensioning screw (22) to the oth-
er side of the bar. Unscrew the retaining
bolt attaching the bar (4) to the tensioning
screw (22). Move the tensioning screw
(22) over to the other side of the bar and
screw the retaining bolt back in.
1. Switch off the saw and pull out the
power plug.
2. Remove the sprocket chain wheel
covering, the saw chain and the chain
bar.
3. Check the chain bar for wear. Remove
burrs and straighten the guide sur-
faces with a flat file.
4. Clean the oil passages of the chain
bar ( J 26), in order to guarantee a
trouble-free, automatic oiling of the
saw chain during operation.
5. Mount chain bar, chainsaw and
sprocket chain wheel covering and
tighten the chainsaw.
With the oil nozzles in good condition
and the oil regulator set correctly, the
saw chain will spray a little oil off after
starting.
