Maintenance and Cleaning
Warning: Switch off and remove battery from power
tool before adjusting or cleaning.
Note:
To ensure long and reliable service, carry out the follow-
ing maintenance regularly.
For safe and proper working, always keep the power tool and
its ventilation slots clean.
Regulary check the chain saw for obvious defects such as
loose, dislodged or damaged saw chain and chain bar, loose
fixings and worn or damaged components.
Check that covers and guards are undamaged and correctly
fitted. Carry out necessary maintenance or repairs before us-
ing.
Note:
Before returning the chain saw, ensure all oil in the oil
reservoir has been emptied.
In all correspondence and spare parts orders, please always
include the 10-digit article number given on the type plate of
the chain saw.
Replacing/Changing the Saw Chain and Chain Bar
(see figures C1–C4)
Check the saw chain and chain bar according to section “Ten-
sioning the Saw Chain”.
The circular groove of the chain bar will wear particularly on
the lower edge with time. When replacing the saw chain, turn
the chain bar by 180° to allow even wear, thus extending
chain bar life.
Check the drive sprocket
28
. If it is worn out or damaged due
to strain, have it exchanged by an authorized Bosch after-
sales service.
Sharpening the Saw Chain
Have your chain sharpened professionally at your authorised
Bosch after-sales service or sharpen it yourself with a sharp-
ening kit suitable for the chain recommended for your chain-
saw. Observe the sharpening instructions provided with the
sharpening kit.
Checking the Automatic Oiler
Proper functioning of the automatic saw chain oiler can be
checked by running the chain saw and pointing the tip of the
chain bar towards a piece of cardboard or paper on the
ground. Do not touch the ground with the chain and ensure a
safety clearance of 20 cm. If an increasing oil pattern devel-
opes, the automatic oiler is operating fine. If there is no oil
pattern despite a full oil reservoir, see section “Troubleshoot-
ing” or contact your authorized Bosch after-sales service.
After Use/Storage
Clean the moulded plastic housing of the chain saw using a
soft brush and clean cloth. Do not use water, solvents or pol-
ishes. Remove all debris, especially from the motor cooling
vents.
After 1 – 3 hours of use, remove the cover
13
, the chain bar
10
and the saw chain
11
, and clean them using a brush.
Clean the area under the cover
13
, the drive sprocket
28
and
the chain bar assembly from adherant debris using a brush.
Clean the oil outlet
31
with a clean cloth.
If the chain saw is to be stored for a longer period of time,
clean the saw chain
11
and the chain bar
10
.
Store the chain saw in a secure, dry place, out of the reach of
children.
Do not place other objects on the power tool.
Please take care to place down the chain saw with the oil filler
cap
4
facing upward.
When storing in the sales packaging, the oil reservoir must be
completely emptied.
Do not modify this product.
