Warning! The risk of kick-back increa-
ses when:
• file-angle is too big
• cutting-angle is too small
• diameter of round file is too small
B. Sharpening the tooth
To sharpen the teeth of the saw you need a
round file and a file mould. Consult a specialist
store in chain saws for these items.
1.
Check if the chain is stretched out complete-
ly. Otherwise the chain is not stable enough
and cannot be sharpened correctly.
2.
Always file from the inside of the tooth to the
outside. Always lift up the file when you start
sharpening another tooth. First file all teeth
on one side, turn round the chain saw and
then file the teeth on the other side.
3.
After filing, the teeth should all have the
same length. When the length of the teeth is
only 4 mm, the chain is worn and should be
replaced.
C. The cutting-depth
When you sharpen the teeth, the cutting-depth will decrease. To maintain
the maximum saw capacity, the ridge (B) has to be lowered. To attain a
perfect cutting-depth you should use also a depth-mould. Consult a speci-
alist store in chain saws for the specific tool and measurements. Adjusting
the cutting-depth has to be done directly after the teeth are sharpened.
You use a flat file and a depth-mould for this. The cutting-depth is correct
when you don’t feel resistance anymore, while moving the file across the
mould.

Maintenance
power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow per-
sons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the po-
wer tools operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to con-
trol.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from inten-
ded could result in hazardous situation.
h. Damaged switches must be replaced at a customer service repair cen-
tre. Do not use power tools that cannot be switched on and off.
i. Do not leave power tools unattended while they are switched on.
Always switch off the tool and wait until it has come to a full standstill
before leaving.
j. If the mains cable has been damaged, it must be replaced with a speci-
al mains cable. These can be obtained from the manufacturer or the
manufacturer's customer service department. The mains cable may
only be replaced by the manufacturer, the manufacturer's customer ser-
vice department or equally qualified persons.
5) Service
a. Please use a qualified expert who uses original replacement parts to
repair your power tool. This will ensure proper functioning of the power
tool.
b. Caution! The use of any accessories or additional tools other than
those recommended in this manual may lead to an increased risk of
injury. Only use original replacement parts.
