m WARNING
Risk of injury!
Always switch off the appliance before cleaning and discon-
nect the spark plug connector (34).
(see section 13.4 Maintaining the spark plug)
Note
Clean the appliance thoroughly after every use.
Carry out the cleaning and maintenance work only as de-
scribed in these instructions. Any more extensive work has to
be carried out by specialist personnel.
Maintenance work must be carried out regularly (see section
"Maintenance intervals").
13.1 Cleaning the engine unit
m WARNING

Risk of burns!

Do not touch the hot exhaust silencer, cylinder or cooling fins.
• Keep all protective equipment, air vents and the engine hous-
ing as free of dust and dirt as possible. Blow it out with low-
pressure compressed air.
• Clean the appliance regularly with a damp cloth and a mild
detergent. Make sure that no water can penetrate into the
interior of the appliance.
13.2 Cleaning the air filter
Contaminated air filters reduce the engine output due to low air
supply to the carburettor.
Regular inspection is essential. The air filter (33) must be in-
spected regularly and cleaned if necessary.
The air filter (33) must be checked more frequently if the air
is dusty.
• Remove the cap for the air filter cover (5) by turning it in an
anticlockwise direction.
• Remove the air filter cover (3).
• Remove the air filter (33).
• Clean the air filter (33) by tapping or blowing it out (with
compressed air).
Assembly is done in the reverse order.
m CAUTION
Never clean the air filter (33) with petrol or flammable solvents.
13.3 Cleaning the chain drive
m WARNING
Risk of injury!
Always wear protective gloves when handling the saw chain
(17). There is a danger of injury from the sharp cutting teeth!
Note
Clean the chain drive after each use.
• Place the chainsaw on a level and stable surface.
• Pull the front hand guard (1) backwards as far as the stop to
release the chain brake (see fig. D).
• Remove the two locking nuts (20) using the spark plug span-
ner (31).
• Remove the sprocket cover (22).
• Carefully remove the saw chain (17) from the guide rail (16)
and the chain sprocket (26).
• Remove the guide rail (16). Clean it with a brush.
• Now clean the entire chain drive area and the saw blade
cover (22) with a brush or by blowing it out with compressed
air.
Assembly is done in the reverse order.
13.4 Maintaining the spark plug
• Remove the air filter (33) as described in 13.2 "Cleaning
the air filter".
• Pull off the spark plug connector (34).
• Remove the spark plug using the enclosed spark plug span-
ner (31).
• Assembly is done in the reverse order.
Electrode gap = 0.6 mm (distance between the electrodes be-
tween which the ignition spark is generated). Check the spark
plug for contamination after the first 10 hours of operation and
clean it with a copper wire brush if required.
Afterwards, service the spark plug after every 50 hours of op-
eration.
13.5 Maintaining the chain lubrication
• See the section "Checking and adjusting the chain lubrica-
tion".
13.6 Maintaining the carburettor settings
• If the saw chain (17) moves when the engine is idling or the
engine goes out when you release the throttle, you need to
adjust the carburettor.
Note
Have the carburettor adjustment (e.g. adjusting the idling
speed) carried out by qualified specialists only to prevent en-
gine damage.
13.7 Maintaining the guide rail
• Remove any remaining burrs on the edge of the rail using a
metal file.
• Clean the guide rail (16) groove using a brush or with
compressed air. Replace the guide rail (16) as soon as the
groove is worn.
• Turn the guide rail (16) after every use to ensure even wear.
• Check that the sprocket at the tip of the guide rail (16) moves
freely. Lubricate it if necessary with a little bearing oil.
