4. Sharpen only from the inside to
the outside. Guide the file from
the inner side of the cutting teeth
to the outer side. Lift the file when
you are withdrawing it.
5. Sharpen first the teeth on one side.
Turn the saw around and sharpen
the teeth of the other side.
6. The chain is worn and must be
replaced by a new saw chain if
only approx. 4 mm of the cutting
teeth is remaining.
7. After the sharpening, all cutting
elements must now be equal in
length and width.
8. 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 limita-
tion, round it off a little at the front.
Adjusting the chain tension
The adjustment of the chain tension is de-
scribed in the chapter: Assembly, tension-
ing chainsaw.
Starting up a new saw chain
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 min -
utes’ 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, poten-
tially leading to serious injury.
Maintaining the chain bar
Use cut-protection gloves
when handling the chain or
the chain bar.
1. Switch off the saw and pull out the
power plug (18).
2. Remove the sprocket chain wheel cov-
ering (15), the saw chain (5) and the
chain bar (4).
3. Check the chain bar (4) for wear. Re-
move burrs and straighten the guide
surfaces with a flat file.
4. Clean the oil passages (
J
27) of
the chain bar, in order to guarantee
a trouble-free, automatic oiling of the
saw chain during operation.
5. Mount chain bar (4), chainsaw (5) and
sprocket chain wheel covering (15)
and tighten the chainsaw.
With the oil nozzles in good condi-
tion and the oil regulator set cor-
rectly, the saw chain will spray a
little oil off after starting.
Turn the chain bar
Use cut-protection gloves
when handling the chain or
the chain bar.
The blade (4) has to be reversed regularly
after a working time of approximately 10
hours in order to ensure even wear.
1. Switch off the saw and pull out
the power plug (18).
2. Remove the sprocket chain wheel
covering (15), the saw chain (5)
and the chain bar (4).
3. Put the sword (4) front and rotate
it on the back. Loosen the fixation
