• 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.

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 cut-

ting tooth and a depth limiting projec-

tion. The vertical separation distance

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)

Special tools are necessary for sharpening

the chain, which guarantee that the cutting

edges are sharpened at the correct angle

and to the correct depth. For the inexperi-

enced user of chainsaws, we recommend

to have the saw chain sharpened by a

specialist or a specialist workshop. If you

think yourself capable of sharpening the

chain, you can acquire the special tools in

the specialist trade.

I

1. Switch the saw off and unplug it

from the mains.

2. Remove the saw chain (refer

to the section on operating the

saw). The chain should be well-

tensioned to ensure proper sharp-

ening.

3. For the sharpening, a round file

with 4.0 mm diameter is neces-

sary.

4. Sharpen only from the inside to

the outside. Guide the file from

the inner side of the cutting teeth

to the outer side. Lift the file when

you are withdrawing it.
