9. Maintenance

9.1 Replacing the saw chain and guide bar
The guide bar must be replaced if the guide
• groove of the guide bar is worn out.
• the spur wheel in the guide bar is damaged or worn out.
For this purpose, proceed as described in the chapter
"Assembly of the guide bar and saw chain"!
9.2 Checking the automatic chain lubrication
Regularly check the functionality of the automatic chain
lubrication in order to prevent overheating and the
subsequent damage to the guide bar and saw chain
associated with it. For this purpose, align the guide bar
tip against a smooth surface (board, cut-in of a tree)
and allow the chainsaw to run. If an increasing amount
of oil appears, the automatic chain lubrication functions
properly. If no clear trace of oil appears, please read the
appropriate information in the chapter "Fault remedy"!
If this information does not help, please contact our cus-
tomer service or a similarly qualified workshop.
Attention! Do not touch the surface during the
process. Maintain a sufficient safety clearance
(approx. 20 cm).

9.3 Sharpening the saw chain

Effective work with the chainsaw is only possible if the
saw chain is in good condition and sharp. This also
reduces the danger of a kickback. The saw chain can
be resharpened by a specialty dealer. Do not attempt to
sharpen the saw chain yourself if you do not have a suit-
able tool and the necessary experience.

10. Cleaning and storage

• Regularly clean the tensioning mechanism by blowing
compressed air onto or cleaning it with a brush. Do
not use any tools for the cleaning.
• Keep oil away from the handle in order to ensure a
secure hold.
• Clean the machine as necessary with a damp cloth
and a mild cleanser, if appropriate.
• If the chainsaw is not used for an extended period of
time, remove the chain oil from the tank. Briefly place
the chainsaw and the guide bar in an oil bath and then
wrap it in oil paper.
Attention!
• Always replace the protective cover for transport or
storage of the chainsaw.
• Pull out the mains plug before cleaning.
• Never immerse the machine in water or other liquids.
• Store the chainsaw in a safe and dry place and out of
the reach of children.

Instead of returning the electric equipment, the owner is
alternatively obligated to take part in the proper recycling
in the case of relinquishment of ownership. The waste
equipment can also be taken to a collection facility which
disposes of it in the sense of the national recycling man-
agement and waste acts. This does not pertain to the
accessory parts and auxiliary equipment without electri-
cal components accompanying the waste equipment.
