Maintenance intervals
Regularly carry out the maintenance
operations listed in the following table .
The life of the saw is extended by
regular maintenance of your chainsaw .
Furthermore, you get optimum cutting
performance and avoid accidents .

Sharpening the saw chain
WARNING!
m
An incorrectly sharpened saw
u
chain increases the danger of
spring-back! Use cut-protection
gloves when you are handling the
chain or the chain bar .
NOTE
A sharp chain guarantees an
u
optimal cutting performance . It eats
effortlessly through the wood and
leaves large, long wooden chips .
A saw chain is blunt if you have
to press the cutting equipment
through the wood and the wooden
chips are very small . In the case
of a very blunt saw chain, no chip
cuttings result at all, only sawdust .
Action
Check, replace if
required
Check for wear
indentations, replace
if necessary
Check oil, regrind or
replace if required
Check, clean and oil
Turn around

The sawing parts of the chain are the
cutting elements, which consist of
a cutting tooth and a depth limiting
projection . The vertical separation
distance between these two determines
the sharpness depth .
The following values must be noted in
sharpening the cutting teeth:
Sharp edge angle (30°)
Breast angle (85°)
Apex angle (60°)
Sharpness depth (0 .65 mm)
Round file diameter (4.0 mm)
WARNING!
m
Deviations from the measurement
u
data of the cutting geometry
can lead to an increase of the
spring-back slope of the machine .
Increased danger of accident!
After 10 hours of
operation
Yes
