9. Cleaning and maintenance
m WARNING

cleaning and maintenance work!
Cleaning
• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the mo-
torhousing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it-
with compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the device immedi-
ately each time you have finished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts
of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the device.

Bar (Fig.23-24)
• Clean the bar after each use.
• Remove the bar from the machine.
• Remove sawdust from the bar and the oil channel
(Fig.23/Pos.1).
• Lubricate the teeth (Fig.23/Pos.2/3) through the
oiling hole with an oil syringe.
Cylinder fins (Fig.17)
• Clean the cylinder fins (M) after each use. To do
this, use compressed air at low pressure or use
a brush.
• Dust and dirt between the fins on the cylinder may
cause the machine to overheat.
Other maintenance points before each use
• Check for leakage from oil or fuel tanks.
• Check the unit for loose parts and screws. Specifi-
cally, the chain, the bar and the hand grips.
• If you find defects on the machine, fix them im-
mediately.
Fuel filter (Fig.21)
m CAUTION!: Never operate the saw without the fu-
el filter (L). After every 100 hours of operation the fu-

• Make a handle from soft wire.
• Insert it into the opening of the fuel tank and hook
the fuel hose. Pull the fuel hose carefully to the
opening until you can grab it with your fingers.

Pull the hose so it is not quite out of the tank.
• Lift the fuel filter (L) from the tank.
• Remove the filter with a twisting motion and clean
it. If it is damaged, discard the filter.
