7. After the sharpening, all cutting
elements must now be equal in
length and width.
8. After every third sharpening, the
sharpness depth (depth limitation)
must be checked and the height
filed with the aid of a flat file. The
depth limitation should be set back
about 0.65 mm from the cutting
tooth. After the setting back of
depth limitation, round it off a lit-
tle at the front.

Adjusting the chain tension

The adjustment of the chain tension is de-
scribed in the chapter: Starting operation,
tensioning chainsaw.
• Switch off the saw and pull out the
power plug.
• Check the chain tension regularly and
re-adjust this as often as possible.When
the saw chain is tensioned with 9 N
(approx. 1 kg), the gap between the
saw chain and the guide rail may not
be more than 2 mm.

Starting up a new saw chain

In the case of a new chain, the tensioning
force decreases after some time. Therefore
you must re-tension the chain after the first
5 cuts and at longer intervals after this.
Never attach a new chain
to a worn drive pinion or
place onto a damaged or
worn chain bar. The chain
could spring back or break,
potentially leading to serious
injury.

Maintaining the chain bar

Use cut-protection gloves
when handling the chain or
the chain bar.
The chain bar must be turned round every
10 working hours, in order to guarantee
uniform wear.
1. Switch off the saw and pull out the
power plug (18).
2. Remove the sprocket chain wheel cov-
ering (15), the saw chain (5) and the
chain bar (4).
3. Check the chain bar (4) for wear. Re-
move burrs and straighten the guide
surfaces with a flat file.
4. Clean the oil passages (
the chain bar, in order to guarantee
a trouble-free, automatic oiling of the
saw chain during operation.
5. Mount chain bar (4), chainsaw (5) and
sprocket chain wheel covering (15)
and tighten the chainsaw.
Turning over the bar (4) requires you to
move the tensioning screw (
other side of the bar. Unscrew the retain-
ing bolt attaching the bar to the tensioning
screw. Move the tensioning screw over to
the other side of the bar and screw the re-
taining bolt back in.
With the oil nozzles in good condi-
tion and the oil regulator set cor-
rectly, the saw chain will spray a
little oil off after starting.
