Sharpen The Saw Chain; Cleaning The Guide Bar - Westfalia X-SAW WXS 18-110 Originalanleitung

Changing the Saw Chain
▪
Only handle the saw chain with gloves and remove the battery first!
▪
Inspect the saw chain and the guide bar for damage or signs of wear.
▪
Never put a new saw chain on a worn guide bar.
▪
Let each new saw chain break-in first!
▪
When attaching the saw chain, observe the running direction!
Kick-back
▪
The shape of the riving knife (4) largely eliminates the risk of kick-
back.
▪
The saw is optimally protected against kick-back by the riving knife
with tip protection. Never remove the riving knife (4). There is a risk of
injury!

Sharpen the Saw Chain

▪
The saw teeth must be sharpened if the sawdust becomes powdery, if
additional force is required for the incision, if a straight incision is no
longer possible or if the vibrations become stronger.
▪
Blunt saw chains should be re-sharpened professionally.
▪
Replace the saw chain if there is considerable damage that cannot be
repaired by filing.

Cleaning the Guide Bar

▪
Thoroughly clean the notch of the guide bar.
▪
Replace the guide bar if the guide groove is
damaged or worn and the saw chain has too
much lateral space.
▪
Tighten all accessible screws, if necessary.
