Sharpening of saw chain
You can only work safely and well with a sharp
and clean saw chain. Damaged or incorrectly
sharpened saw chains increase the risk of kick-
backs.
The saw chain has to be sharpened if
instead of wood shavings only saw dust is ejected
you have to press the power pruner through the wood during
cutting
For sharpening a saw chain some expertise is necessary.
The saw chain must be regrinded in a specialised shop.
You can also sharpen your saw chain yourself by using our
electric sharpener KSG 220 A (article-no.: 302360).

Chain wheel
The demand of the chain wheel (8) is particularly great. Check
regularly the teeth of the chain wheel for wear or damages.
A worn or damaged chain wheel reduces the durability
of the saw chain and should therefore immediately be
exchanged by the customer service.
Cleaning
Clean the chain saw carefully after each application so that the
faultless function is kept.
Clean the case with a soft brush or a dry cloth.
Water, solvents and polishing agents shall not be ap-
plied.
Check that the ventilation slots for the motor cooling
are free (risk of overheating).
If heavily contaminated, clean the device using a commer-
cial chain cleaner.
Remove all adhering substances with a brush from the
chain wheel (8) and guide bar retainers (A).
Clean the oil flow canal (G) with a clean cloth or a brush.
Pay attention during assembly that the seal (7) for
the oil flow channel has been inserted.
Cleaning of guide bar
Regularly inspect and clean
the oil discharge opening (H) of the guide rail and the
chain tensioner (6)
Remove any burr using a flat file and emery paper.
Turn round the guide bar (1) after each chain ex-
change/sharpening to avoid single-side wearing
Transport
Remove mains plug before each transport.
Transport the chain only with the chain protection put
on.
When transporting the product within a car put it in the boot or
on a separate loading area. Secure the chain saw against
tipping over.
Storage
Store machines that are not in use in a dry locked place
protected against frost and outside the reach of children and
unauthorized persons.
Before a longer period of storage carry out the following to
extend the power pruner
’
s service life and ensure an easy
operation:
thoroughly clean the device
Remove the oil from the oil tank.
: Some chain oils tend to encrustations after a longer pe-
riod. For this reason the oil system should be flushed be-
fore a longer storing with a chain saw cleaner. Fill the
cleaner up to the middle (appr. 50 ml) into the oil tank.
Close the tank. Switch on the chain saw without assem-
bled guide bar and chain until the complete cleaner has
left the oil opening of the chain saw.
Put the saw chain for a short time into an oil bath and
enwrap it afterwards in an oil paper.
Put the chain guard in place..
