Other diameters damage the

chain and can lead to danger

during work!

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.

5. Sharpen first the teeth on one

side. Turn the saw around and

sharpen the teeth of the other

side.

6. The chain is worn and must be

replaced by a new saw chain if

only approx. 4 mm of the cutting

teeth is remaining.

7. After the sharpening, all cutting

elements must now be equal in

length and width.

8. After every third sharpening, the

sharpness depth (depth limitation)

must be checked and the height

filed with the aid of a flat file. The

depth limitation should be set back

about 0.65 mm from the cutting

tooth. After the setting back of

depth limitation, round it off a lit-

tle at the front.

Adjusting the chain tension

The adjustment of the chain tension is de-

scribed in the chapter: Starting operation,

tensioning chainsaw.

• Switch off the saw and pull out the

power plug.

• Check the chain tension regularly and

re-adjust this as often as possible.When

the saw chain is tensioned with 9 N

(approx. 1 kg), the gap between the

saw chain and the guide rail may not

be more than 2 mm.

Starting up a new saw chain

In the case of a new chain, the tensioning

force decreases after some time. Therefore

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 serious

injury.

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 minutes, in order to guarantee

uniform wear.

1. Switch off the saw and pull out the

power plug (18).

2. Remove the sprocket chain wheel cov-

ering (15), the saw chain (5) and the

chain bar (4).

3. Check the chain bar (4) for wear. Re-

move burrs and straighten the guide

surfaces with a flat file.

4. Clean the oil passages (

J

27) of

the chain bar, in order to guarantee

a trouble-free, automatic oiling of the

saw chain during operation.

5. Mount chain bar (4), chainsaw (5) and

sprocket chain wheel covering (15)

and tighten the chainsaw.

Turning over the bar (4) requires you to

move the tensioning screw (

F

24) to the

other side of the bar. Unscrew the retain-

ing bolt attaching the bar to the tensioning
