9. Cleaning

m CAUTION
Set the Stop switch to Stop (0) & disconnect the
spark plug boot (Fig. 15/pos. D) before doing any
cleaning and maintenance work!
Risk of electric shock, if the engine is running.
Carrying out any cleaning work
• The equipment should be cleaned thoroughly
every time after it has been used. This applies par-
ticularly to the chain and bar.
• Keep the air vents and the motor housing free of
dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equip-
ment with a clean damp cloth or blow it down with
compressed air at low pressure.
• It is easiest to remove sawdust and wood chip-
pings immediately after use.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a damp cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these may be aggressive to the plastic
parts in the equipment. Ensure that no water can
get into the interior of the equipment.

Maintenance
m CAUTION
All maintenance work on the chainsaw apart from the
work described in this manual may only be carried
out by authorised after-sales service personnel.
Chain brake operational test
Test the chain brake periodically to ensure prop-
er function. Perform a chain brake test prior to initial
cutting, following extensive cutting, and definitely fol-
lowing any Chain brake service.
Test chain brake as follows:
1. Place saw on a clear, firm, flat surface.
2. Start the engine.
3. Grasp the rear handle with your right hand.
4. With your left hand, hold the front handle (Fig. 1/
pos. 6) (not chain brake lever) (Fig. 1/pos. 5) firmly.
5. Squeeze the throttle trigger to 1/3 throttle, then
immediately activate the chain brake lever (Fig.
10/arrow direction 1).
m CAUTION
Activate the chain brake slowly and deliberately.
Keep the chain from touching anything, don't let the
saw tip forward.
6. Chain should stop abruptly. When it does, imme-
diately release the throttle trigger.
m CAUTION
If chain does not stop, turn engine off and take your unit
to the nearest Authorized Service Centre for service.
7. If the chain brake functions properly, turn the en-
gine off and return the chain brake to the DISEN-
GAGED position.
Air Filter
m NOTICE
Never operate the saw without the air filter. Dust
and dirt will be drawn into the engine and damage it.
Keep the air filter clean! The air filter must be cleaned
or replaced after every 20 hours of service.
Maintenance and ordering of spare parts

spark plug boot (Fig. 15/pos. D) before carrying out
any maintenance work.
