The chain needs sharpening when:
• The sawdust produced when sawing damp wood looks like wood flour.
• The chain penetrates the wood only under great pressure.
• The cutting edge is visibly damaged.
• The saw is pulled to the left or right when sawing. This is caused by uneven sharpening of the chain.
Important: Sharpen frequently, but without removing too much metal!
Generally, 2 or 3 strokes of the file will be enough.
Have the chain resharpened at a service center when you have already sharpened it yourself several times.
Instructions for sharpening a saw chain:

Cleaning the sprocket interior, checking and replacing the chain catch sleeve
CAUTION: Before doing any work on the guide bar or chain, always switch off the engine and pull the plug cap
off the spark plug (see „Replacing the spark plug"). Always wear protective gloves!
CAUTION: Do not start the saw until it has been completely assembled and inspected!
Remove the sprocket guard (17) and clean the interior with a brush.
Remove the chain (1) and guide bar (2).
NOTE:
Make sure that no residue or contaminants remain in the oil guide groove (K) and the chain tightener (D).
For replacing the guide bar, chain, and sprocket see section 7.
Chain catch sleeve (Fig.20):
Visually inspect the chain catch sleeve (20) for damage and replace if necessary.
Loosen the mounting screw (M) counterclockwise with the screwdriver from the assembly tool (23) and remove the pro-
tective sleeve. Afterwards mount the new protective sleeve.
Cleaning the guide bar, lubricating the sprocket nose Fig.21
CAUTION!: Protective gloves must be worn!
Regularly inspect the bearing surfaces of the guide bar for damage, and clean them with a suitable tool.
If the saw is used intensively it will be necessary to lubricate the return sprocket bearings (G) regularly (once a week).
To do this, first thoroughly clean the 2 mm hole at the tip of the guide bar (H), and then press in a small amount of multi-
purpose grease.
Multi-purpose grease and grease guns are available in specialty retail trade.
