Do not work with a dull or damaged saw chain (25). It
increases physical exertion, magnifies the vibrations
and leads to unsatisfactory results as well as greater
wear and tear.
• Clean the saw chain (25) regularly.
• Check the saw chain (25) for breaks in the links and
damaged rivets.
• Sharpening a saw chain (25) should only be carried
out by experienced users!
• Note the angles and dimensions specified below.
If the saw chain (25) is not properly sharpened or
the depth gauge is too small, there is a higher risk
of kick-back effects and the resulting injuries! The
saw chain (25) cannot be fixed on the guide bar
(26). It is therefore best to remove the saw chain
(25) from the guide bar (15) and then sharpen it.
• Select a sharpening tool that is suitable for the
chain pitch.
The chain pitch (e.g. 3/8") is marked in the depth
gauge of each blade.
Only use files specifically for saw chains!
Other files have the wrong shape and the wrong
edge. Select the diameter of the file according to your
chain pitch. Be sure to also note the following angles
when sharpening the chain blades.
A = file angle
B = angle of the side plate
Furthermore, the angle must be maintained for all
blades.
If the angles are uneven, the saw chain (25) will run
erratically, wear out quickly and break prematurely.
Since these requirements can only be met with suffi-
cient and regular practice:
• Use a file holder.
• A file holder must be used when sharpening the
saw chain (25) by hand. The correct filing angles
are marked on it.
• Hold the file horizontally (at the correct angle to the
guide bar (26) and file according to the angle mark-
ing on the file holder. Support the file holder on the
top plate and the depth gauge.
• Always file the blade from the inside out.
• The file only sharpens as it moves forward. Lift the
file off as you move backwards.
• Do not touch the fastening straps or dynamic links
with the file.
• Turn the file regularly to avoid wear on one side.
• Use a piece of hard wood to remove the burr from
cutting edges.
All blades must have the same length, otherwise they
will also be of different heights.
This causes the saw chain (25) to run erratically and
increases the danger of breaking.
13.5.3 Lubricating
transmission (Fig. 29)
Lubricate the drive every 10 to 20 operating hours.
• Apply the grease gun to the grease nipple (60).
• Squeeze some grease into it.
Attention!
Top up with only a little grease. Under no circum-
stances overfill.
13.6 Wearing parts
Even when used as intended, some components are
subject to normal wear and tear. These must be re-
placed regularly depending on the type and duration
of use. These parts include the cutting tool and the
retaining plate.
