Oiling the saw chain
CAUTION! Clean and oil the chain
regularly. This keeps the chain sharp and
achieves optimum machine performance.
Damage due to insufficient maintenance
of the saw chain will invalidate the war-
ranty. Remove the batteries and use cut-
resistant gloves when handling the chain
or blade bar.
• Oil the chain after cleaning, after 10
hours of use or at least once a week,
whichever comes first.
• Before oiling, the blade bar, especially
the teeth of the blade bar, must be thor-
oughly cleaned. Use a hand brush and
a dry cloth for this purpose.
• Oil the individual chain links using an
oil syringe with a needle tip (available
from specialist dealers). Apply individu-
al drops of oil on the joints and on the
tooth tips of the individual chain links.
Sharpening the cutting teeth
CAUTION! Risk of injury! An incor-
rectly sharpened saw chain increases
the danger of kickback! Use cut-resistant
gloves when working with the saw chain
or with the blade bar.
A sharp saw chain ensures optimum
cutting performance. It effortlessly eats
through the wood and leaves behind
large, long wood chips. A saw chain is
dull when you have to push the cutting
equipment through the wood and the

wood chips are very small. With a very
blunt saw chain, no chips are produced,
only wood dust.
Special tools are required for sharpening
the saw chain to ensure that the chain is
sharpened at the correct angle and to the
correct depth. For inexperienced chain-
saw users, we recommend having the saw
chain sharpened by an expert or a spe-
cialist workshop. If you are confident that
you can sharpen the chain, proceed ac-
cording to the instructions for your saw
chain sharpener (e.g. Parkside PSG 85
B2).
• The sawing parts of the saw chain are
the cutting links, which consist of a cut-
ting tooth and a depth gauge lug. The
height distance between these two de-
termines the sharpening depth.
• The saw chain is worn and must be re-
placed with a new saw chain when
only approx. 4 mm of the cutting tooth
is left.
• The following values must be taken in-
to account when sharpening the cutting
teeth (Fig. Q):
• Sharpening angle (30°)
• Front angle (85°)
• Sharpening depth (0.65 mm)
• Round file diameter (4.0 mm)
