specialist or a specialist workshop. If you
think yourself capable of sharpening the
chain, you can acquire the special tools in
the specialist trade.
1. Switch the saw off and unplug it
H
from the mains.
2. Remove the saw chain (refer
to the section on operating the
saw). The chain should be well-
tensioned to ensure proper sharp-
ening.
3. For the sharpening, a round file
with 4.0 mm diameter is neces-
sary.
Other diameters damage the
chain and can lead to danger
during work!
4. Sharpen only from the inside to the out-
side. Guide the file from the inner side
of the cutting teeth to the outer side. Lift
the file when you are withdrawing it.
5. Sharpen first the teeth on one side.
Then flip over the chain saw and sharp-
en the teeth on the other side.
6. The chain is worn and must be re-
placed by a new saw chain if only
approx. 4 mm of the cutting teeth is
remaining.
7. After the sharpening, all cutting ele-
ments must now be equal in length and
width.
8. After every third sharpening, the sharp-
ness 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
little at the front.

Adjusting the chain tension

The adjustment of the chain tension is de-
scribed in the chapter: Assembly,
ing chainsaw.

Starting up a new saw chain

In the case of a new chain, the tensioning
force decreases after some time. Therefore,
you have to re-tension the chain after the
first 5 cuts and no later than after 10 min-
utes' sawing time.
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
F
bar
Use cut-protection gloves
when handling the chain or
the chain bar.
1. Switch off the saw and pull out the
power plug (12).
2. Remove the sprocket chain wheel cov-
ering (8), 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 (8) and
tighten the chainsaw.
