After-Sales Service And Application Service - Bosch UniversalChain 18 Originalbetriebsanleitung

Regularly check the chain saw for obvious defects such as
loose, dislodged or damaged saw chain and chain bar, loose
fixings and worn or damaged components.
Note: Before returning the chain saw, ensure all oil in the oil
reservoir has been emptied. Ensure that the oil reservoir is
refilled before using the chain saw again.
Replacing/changing the saw chain and chain bar (see
figures A1–A4)
Use only original Bosch accessories.
u
Check the saw chain and chain bar according to section
"Tensioning the Saw Chain".
Replace a worn chain bar.
Check the drive sprocket (20). If it is worn out or damaged
due to strain, have it exchanged by an authorized Bosch
after-sales service.
Sharpening the Saw Chain
Never sharpen the saw chain yourself unless you have exper-
ience with it. Replace the saw chain with replacement saw
chain (F 016 800 489) or have the saw chain professionally
reground at your authorised customer services agent for
Bosch power tools.
Checking the Automatic Oiler
Proper functioning of the automatic saw chain oiler can be
checked by running the chain saw and pointing the tip of the
chain bar towards a piece of cardboard or paper on the
ground. Do not touch the ground with the chain and ensure a
safety clearance of 20 cm. If an increasing oil pattern de-
velopes, the automatic oiler is operating correctly. If there is
no oil pattern despite a full oil reservoir, see section
"Troubleshooting" or contact your authorized Bosch after-
sales service.
After Use/Storage
Put the chain guard (9) on the bar (11) to prevent injury.
The saw chain (12) can become blunt because of unwanted
hits/scratches.
Remove the oil from the oil tank before storage.
Clean the moulded plastic housing of the chain saw using a
soft brush and clean cloth. Do not use water, solvents or pol-
ishes. Remove all debris, especially from the motor cooling
vents.
After 1–3 hours of use, remove the cover (15), the chain bar
(11) and the saw chain (12), and clean them using a brush.
Clean the area under the cover (15), the drive sprocket (20)
and the chain bar assembly from adherant debris using a
brush. Clean the oil outlet (21) with a clean cloth.
Note: Do not clean the area around the oil outlet (21) with a
brush, as debris can be lodged into the automatic oiling sys-
tem and can cause blockages and lubrication problems.
Make sure that sawdust and dirt are removed and that the oil
lines and the oil system can not be clogged up.
If the chain saw is to be stored for a longer period of time,
clean the saw chain (12) and the chain bar (11).
Always store the chain saw with the chain guard (9) in a se-
cure, dry place, out of the reach of children.
Bosch Power Tools
Do not place other objects on the chain saw.
Please take care to place down the chain saw with the oil
filler cap (4) facing upward.
When storing in the sales packaging, the oil reservoir must
be completely emptied.
Do not modify this product. Unauthorized modifications
may impair the safety of your product and may result in in-
creased noise and vibration.
