Maintenance intervals
Regularly carry out the maintenance opera-
tions listed in the following table. The life of
the saw is extended by regular maintenance
of your chainsaw. Furthermore, you get
optimum cutting performance and avoid ac-
cidents.
Oiling the saw chain
Clean and oil the chain regu-
larly. In this way, you keep the
chain sharp and get optimum
machine performance. In case
of damage due to inadequate
maintenance of the saw chain,
the guarantee claim is invalid.
Remove the power plug and use
cut-protection gloves when you
are handling the chain or the
chain bar.
• Oil the chain after cleaning, after 10
hours of use or at least once weekly,
depending on which comes first.
• Before oiling, the chain bar must be
cleaned thoroughly, in particular the
teeth of the rail. Use a whisk and a dry
cloth for that.
• Oil the individual chain links with the
aid of an oil suction gun with pinpoint
tip (available in the specialist trade).
Place individual oil drops onto the ar-
ticulated links and onto the tooth tips of
the individual chain links.
Sharpening the saw chain
An incorrectly sharpened saw
chain increases the danger of
spring-back!
Use cut-protection gloves when
you are handling the chain or
the chain bar.
A sharp chain guarantees an op-
timal cutting performance. It eats
effortlessly through the wood and
leaves large, long wooden chips.
A saw chain is blunt if you have to
press the cutting equipment through
the wood and the wooden chips
are very small. In the case of a very
blunt saw chain, no chip cuttings
result at all, only sawdust.
• The sawing parts of the chain are
the cutting elements, which consist
of a cutting tooth and a depth limiting
projection. The vertical separation dis-
tance between these two determines
the sharpness depth.
• The following values must be noted in
sharpening the cutting teeth:
H
- Sharp edge angle (30°)
- Breast angle (85°)
- Sharpness depth (0.65 mm)
- Round file diameter (4.0 mm)
