► Place the new chain [2-3] on the (new)
guide strip [2-4] and insert it into the saw.
Ensure that the chain teeth are in the
correct position relative to the direc

The direction of rotation is marked on
the saw by an arrow. There is also a
marking under the chain sprocket cov

11.8 Lubrication and cleaning
We recommend that you clean the power tool
regularly. Keep the power tool free from dust,
chips, resin and other impurities.
Using solvent-based cleaning agents may dam
age the painted surfaces or plastic parts. If
these cleaning agents are used, we recommend
that you test their effect on a small, concealed
area.
During each sharpening process or when re
placing the cutting tool set, dust and chips must
be removed from the inside of the cover, and
the guide slot, the lubrication openings and the
blade's clamping surfaces must be cleaned.
The air holes on the motor cover must not be
blocked.
11.9 Replacing the carbon brushes
Commission an authorised workshop to
–
change brushes, the power cable, etc. If
the power tool suffers an impact, it is also
necessary to use an authorised workshop
in order to prevent any mechanical or elec
trical hazards.
–
The carbon brushes are checked after ap
prox. 200 operating hours. The carbon
brushes are accessible after removing the
cover. If the carbon brushes are shorter
than 5 mm, they must be replaced.
–
The power tool is equipped with self-de
taching carbon brushes that come off auto
matically once the minimum length is
reached. Only original carbon brushes
should be used.
