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 warranty.
Remove the batteries and use cut-resistant
gloves when handling the chain or blade bar.
• We recommend using the biological saw
chain oil supplied or a comparable, bio-
degradable multifunctional oil for lubrica-
tion.
• 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 individual 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 incorrectly
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 special-

ist workshop. If you are confident that you
can sharpen the chain, proceed according 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 cutting
tooth and a depth gauge lug. The height
distance between these two determines
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)
WARNING! Risk of accident! Deviations
from the dimensions of the cutting edge geo-
metry 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 cut-
ting 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-
