press the cutting equipment through
the wood and the wooden chips
are very small. In the case of a very
blunt saw chain, no chip cuttings
result at all, only sawdust.
• The sawing parts of the chain are the
cutting elements, which consist of a cut-
ting tooth and a depth limiting projec-
tion. The vertical separation distance
between these two determines the
sharpness depth.
• The following values must be noted in
sharpening the cutting teeth:
- Sharp edge angle (30°)
- Breast angle (85°)
- Apex angle (60°)
- Sharpness depth (0.65 mm)
- Round fi le diameter (4.0 mm)
Deviations from the meas-
urement data of the cutting
geometry can lead to an
increase of the spring-back
slope of the machine. In-
creased danger of accident!
Special tools are necessary for sharpening
the chain, which guarantee that the cutting
edges are sharpened at the correct angle
and to the correct depth. For the inexperi-
enced user of chainsaws, we recommend
to have the saw chain sharpened by a spe-
cialist or a specialist workshop. If you are
familiar with the sharpening of the chain,
you can purchase the tools, for example
from Parkside (e.g. chain sharpener).
1. Remove the saw chain (refer
to the section on operating
the saw). The chain should be
well-tensioned to ensure proper
sharpening.

2. For the sharpening, a round fi le
with 4.0 mm diameter is neces-
sary.
Other diameters damage the
chain and can lead to danger
during work!
3. Sharpen only from the inside to
the outside. Guide the fi le from
the inner side of the cutting teeth
to the outer side. Lift the fi le
when you are withdrawing it.
4. Sharpen fi rst 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 fi led with the aid of a fl at
fi le. 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
