• Before oiling, the blade bar, especially the teeth
of the blade bar, must be thoroughly cleaned.
Use a hand brush and a dry cloth for this purpo-
se.
• Oil the individual chain links using an oil syringe
with a needle tip (available from specialist dea-
lers). Apply individual drops of oil on the joints
and on the tooth tips of the individual chain
links.
1. The chain should be well-tensioned to ensure
proper sharpening.
2. For the sharpening, a round file with 4.0 mm
diameter is necessary.
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 first 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 limitation) must be checked and
the height filed with the aid of a flat file. 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 described in
the chapter "Assembly - tensioning chainsaw".
• Switch off the device and remove the battery
(14) 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 saw chain and the guide rail may
not be more than 2 mm.
Starting up a new saw chain
14
In the case of a new chain, the tensioning force
decreases after some time. Therefore, you have to
re-tension the chain after the first 5 cuts and no
later than after 10 minutes' sawing time.
Never attach a new chain to a worn drive pinion or
place onto a damaged or worn chain bar. The chain
could spring back or break, potentially leading to
serious injury.
Maintaining the chain bar
Use cut-protection gloves when handling
the chain or the chain bar.
1. Switch off the device and remove the battery
(14) from the device.
2. Remove the sprocket chain wheel covering (9),
the saw chain (12) and the chain bar (11).
3. Check the chain bar (11) for wear. Remove
burrs and straighten the guide surfaces with a
flat file.
4. Mount chain bar (11), chainsaw (12) and sproc-
ket chain wheel covering (9) and tighten the
saw chain.
Turning the blade bar
Use cut-resistant gloves when working
with the saw chain or with the blade bar.
The blade bar (11) needs to be reversed regularly
after a working time of about 10 hours in order to
ensure even wear.
1. Switch off the device and remove the battery
(14) from the device.
2. Remove the sprocket cover (9), saw chain (12)
and blade bar (11).
3. Turn the blade bar around its horizontal axis
and install the blade bar and chain as described
under "Installing the saw chain and blade bar".
When doing so, pay attention to the correct rotation
direction of the saw chain!
Direction of travel of saw
chain
Use the graphical symbol above the chain sprocket
(17) as a guide to align the saw chain (12) when
the blade bar is rotated. The illustrated direction of
travel on the blade bar is no longer true.
