Caution!
•
Make sure that the chain tension is always
correctly adjusted.
•
Only use a chainsaw if it is in perfect working
order.
•
Only work with a saw chain that has been
properly sharpened in accordance with the
instructions.
•
Never cut with the upper edge or the tip of the
cutter bar.
•
Always hold the chainsaw firmly with both
hands.
Cutting wood which is under tension
Special care is required when cutting wood which
is under tension. Cutting wood which is under
tension can release the tension, causing the
wood to react out of control. In the worst case this
can result in severe and even fatal injuries. This
type of work must be performed only by specially
trained persons.

8. Maintenance

8.1 Replacing the saw chain and cutter rail
The cutter bar needs to be replaced if the guide
groove of the cutter bar is worn. Proceed as de-
scribed in the section "Assembly of the cutter rail
and the saw chain".
8.2 Checking the automatic chain lubrication
You should check the operation of the automatic
chain lubrication system on a regular basis in or-
der to guard against overheating and the damage
this can cause to the cutter bar and the chain.
Point the tip of the cutter bar at a smooth surface
(a board or a cut tree face) and allow the chain-
saw to run. If you see a growing oil stain on the
smooth surface, the automatic chain lubrication
system is working properly. If no clear oil trace is
evident then please refer to the corresponding
instructions in "Troubleshooting". If the information
contained there still fails to remedy the situation,
please contact our service department or another
similarly qualifi ed workshop.
Caution! Do not actually touch the surface with
the tip of the cutter bar when performing this test.
Keep a safe distance (approx. 20 cm).

8.3 Sharpening the saw chain

Working eff ectively with the chainsaw is only pos-
sible if the chain is in good condition and sharp.
This also reduces the risk of kickback.
The chain can be re-sharpened by any dealer. Do
not attempt to sharpen the chain yourself unless
you have the necessary special tools and expe-
rience.
9. Cleaning, storage and ordering of
spare parts
9.1 Cleaning
•
Regularly clean the tensioning mechanism by
blowing it out with compressed air or cleaning
it with a brush. Do not use any tools for
cleaning.
•
Keep the handles free of oil so that you can
maintain a firm grip.
•
Clean the equipment as required with a damp
cloth and, if necessary, mild washing up li-
quid.
Caution!
•
Remove the battery before cleaning.
•
Never immerse the equipment in water or
other liquids in order to clean it.
9.2 Storage
•
If you are not going to use the chainsaw for an
extended period of time, remove the chain oil
from the tank. Briefly immerse the saw chain
and the cutter bar into an oil bath and then
wrap them in oil paper.
•
Store the equipment and accessories out of
the reach of children in a dark and dry place
at above freezing temperature. The ideal sto-
rage temperature is between 5 and 30 °C.
