tem and the chain cover (3).

12.4 Sharpening the saw chain

Effective work with the cordless pruning saw is only
possible if the saw chain is in good condition and
sharp. This also reduces the risk of kick-back.
The saw chain can be resharpened at an authorised
specialist workshop. Do not attempt to sharpen the saw
chain yourself if you do not have a suitable tool and the
necessary experience.
