edge geometry can lead to an increased
tendency of kickback by the machine.
Tools and aids required
• Round file
• Flat file
Procedure (Fig. S)
1. Switch off the device and remove the
batteries.
2. Ensure that the saw chain is tightly ten-
sioned to enable correct sharpening.
3. Only sharpen from the inside out.
Guide the round file from the inside of
the cutting tooth to the outside. Lift off
the file when you pull it back.
4. Sharpen the teeth on one side first.
Then turn the saw chain over and
sharpen the teeth on the other side.
5. Check the length of the cutting links.
After sharpening, all the cutting links
must have the same length and width.
6. After every third sharpening, check
the sharpening depth (depth gauge)
and re-file the height using a flat file.
The depth gauge should be set back
by approx. 0.65 mm from the cutting
tooth.
7. After resetting, round off the depth
gauge slightly towards the front.

Adjusting the chain tension

Adjusting the chain tension is described
in section Tensioning the saw chain,
p. 51.
Running in a new saw chain
The tensioning force of a new saw chain
decreases after some time. You must there-
fore retighten the saw chain after the
first 5 cuts or after 10 minutes of sawing
at the latest (Tensioning the saw chain,
p. 51).
WARNING! Risk of injury! Never
attach a new saw chain to a worn chain
sprocket or to a damaged or worn blade
bar. The saw chain could jump off or
break.
Servicing the blade bar
CAUTION! Cutting injuries! Wear
cut-resistant gloves when working with the
saw chain or with the blade bar.
Tools and aids required
• Flat file
Procedure (Fig. B)
1. Switch off the device and remove the
batteries from the device.
2. Remove the sprocket cover (13), saw
chain (6) and blade bar (7).
3. Check the blade bar (7) for wear.
4. Remove burrs and straighten the guide
surfaces with a flat file.
5. Clean the oil passage (34) to ensure
fault-free, automatic oiling of the saw
chain during operation.
6. Mount the blade bar (7), saw chain
(6) and sprocket cover (13) and tight-
en the chainsaw.
When in an optimal condition, the oil pas-
sages will automatically spray the saw
chain with a little oil a few seconds after
starting the chainsaw.
Turning the blade bar
CAUTION! Cutting injuries! Wear
cut-resistant gloves when working with the
saw chain or with the blade bar.
The blade bar (7) needs to be reversed
regularly after a working time of about 10
hours in order to ensure even wear.
Procedure (Fig. B)
1. Switch off the device and remove the
batteries from the device.
2. Remove the sprocket cover (13), saw
chain (6) and blade bar (7).
3. Turn the blade bar around its hori-
zontal axis and install the blade bar
and saw chain as described under
Installing the saw chain and blade
