5 MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Do not let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
materials touch the plastic parts. Chemicals can
cause damage to the plastic, and make the plastic
unserviceable.
CAUTION
Do not use strong solvents or detergents on the plastic
housing or components.
WARNING
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
maintenance.
5.1 ADJUST THE CHAIN TENSION
Figure 2-7.
The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is
therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take
up the slack.
WARNING
A slack chain may jump off and cause serious or even
fatal injury.
English
Wear protective gloves if you touch the chain, bar or
areas around the chain.
1. Stop the machine.
2. Loosen the chain cover by turning the chain cover
knob around at least two turns in a counterclockwise
direction.
It is not necessary to remove the chain cover to adjust
the chain tension.
3. Turn the chain tension knob clockwise to tighten the
chain.
4. Pull the chain in the middle of the guide bar at the
bottom away from the bar. The gap between the
chain guide and the guide bar should be between 3
mm and 6 mm.
5.2 SHARPEN THE CHAIN
Sharpen the chain if it is not easy for the chain to go into
the wood.
We recommend that your dealer, which has an electric
sharpener, perform important sharpening work.
Figure 13-14
1. Tensioning chain.
2. Sharpen the cutters corner with a 4.5 mm diameter
round file .
3. Sharpen the top plate, side plate and depth gauge
with a flat file.
4. File all the cutters to the specified angles and the
same length.
During the process,
• Keep the file flat with the surface to be sharpened.
• Use the midpoint of the file bar.
• Use light but firm pressure when sharpening the
surface.
• Lift the file away on each return stroke.
• Sharpen the cutters on one side and then move to
the other side.
Replace the chain if:
• The length of the cutting edges is less than 5 mm.
• There is too much space between the drive links
and the rivets.
• The cut speed is slow
• Sharpening the chain many times but it does not
increase the cutting speed. The chain is worn.
