Other diameters damage the
chain and can lead to danger
during work!
3. Sharpen only from the inside to
the outside. Guide the file from
the inner side of the cutting teeth
to the outer side. Lift the file
when you are withdrawing it.
4. Sharpen first the teeth on one
side. Turn the saw around and
sharpen the teeth of the other
side.
5. The chain is worn and must be
replaced by a new saw chain if
only approx. 4 mm of the cutting
teeth is remaining.
6. After the sharpening, all cutting
elements must now be equal in
length and width.
7. After every third sharpening, the
sharpness depth (depth limita-
tion) 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 - tension-
ing chainsaw".
• Switch off the device and remove the
battery (16) from the device
• 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 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 bar

Use cut-protection gloves
when handling the chain or
the chain bar.
1. Switch off the device and remove the
battery ( 16) before carrying out
any maintenance work.
2. Remove the sprocket chain wheel cov-
ering ( 13), the saw chain (
and the chain bar (
3. Check the chain bar (
Remove 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 (
( 6) and sprocket chain wheel cover-
ing ( 13) and tighten the chainsaw.
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.
