Accessories

•    A full range of accessories, including forestry helmets and other personal protective 

equipment, saw chain files and electric chainsaw sharpeners, is available from your GMC 
stockist. Spare parts, including replacement saw chains and Guide Bars can be obtained 
from your GMC stockist or toolsparesonline.com 

Maintenance

WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any inspection, 
maintenance or cleaning.
WARNING: ALWAYS wear adequate personal protective equipment, including eye protection 
and oil -resistant, cut-proof gloves, when carrying out maintenance on this chainsaw. 
ALWAYS ensure proper ventilation. 
WARNING: If oil is removed during maintenance, fill into a suitable sealed container and 
dispose of according to laws and regulations. 
WARNING: ALWAYS switch the chainsaw off and wait until all components have completely 
cooled, before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance. 
Note: The maintenance schedule should be adjusted according to use and environment. 
If the chainsaw is used frequently, and/or if it is used in harsher environments, shorter 
maintenance intervals are required. 
WARNING: Some of the maintenance procedures described in this manual require some 
general technical skills and expertise. This chainsaw MUST ONLY be serviced by people 
with the necessary competence and skill level. If in doubt, have the machine serviced by an 
authorised GMC service centre. 
WARNING: Maintenance not covered by this manual MUST be carried out by an authorised 
GMC technician. Attempting such maintenance or repairs will void the warranty. 
WARNING: Use only genuine replacement parts approved by GMC for maintenance and 
repair. Use of parts by others manufacturers may cause serious or fatal injury.

General inspection 

•    Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight
•    Inspect the supply cord of the tool, prior to each use, for damage or wear. Repairs should 

be carried out by an authorised GMC service centre. This advice also applies to extension 
cords used with this tool

Cleaning 

•    Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly, and 

shorten the machine’s service life. Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry 
cloth. If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes 

•    Use a mild detergent and a damp cloth to clean parts contaminated with oil. Rinse with 

fresh water and dry thoroughly 

•    Keep all electric and electronic components dry at all times 
•    Clean the chain, Guide Bar and sprocket after every use 

Lubrication

•    Lubricate moving parts after cleaning, using a suitable spray lubricant 
•    Regularly lubricate chain, Guide Bar and sprocket 

Maintaining the Guide Bar 

•    Dismount the Saw Chain (3) and Guide Bar (4) by following the instructions in 

‘INSTALLING THE CHAIN GUIDE BAR’ in reverse 

•    Remove saw dust from the Guide Bar groove and oiling port using a small screwdriver, 

probe (not included) (see Fig. O), or compressed air 

•    Inspect the Guide Bar and the sprocket on its tip. Lubricate the sprocket with a suitable 

maintenance spray 

•    Deburr, turn over or replace the Guide Bar as required

Brushes

•    Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn
•    Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure, or visible sparking
•    To replace the brushes, remove the brush access plugs from both sides of the machine. 

Remove the worn brushes and replaced with new. Replace brush access plugs. 
Alternatively, have the machine serviced at an authorised service centre

Note: One spare brush set is supplied with this tool.

Adjusting chain tension 

WARNING: ALWAYS wear cut-proof gloves when touching the saw chain, to avoid injury. 
•    For instructions on adjusting the saw chain tension see ‘Tensioning the chain’ Under the 

‘BEFORE USE’ section

Maintaining the Chain Brake 

•    The Chain Brake (6) is an important safety feature of this chainsaw. It is designed to 

reduce the risk of kickback and user injury. In order for it to properly perform its function, 
it must be maintained regularly. Like an automobile brake, the Chain Brake incurs wear 
with each operation. Excessive wear will reduce the Chain Brake’s effectiveness, and can 
render it inoperable. 

•    Return the chainsaw to your authorised GMC service centre for maintenance at least 

once a year (more often if the device is frequently used), if there is a change in the 
operating characteristics of the Chain Brake, or if the chainsaw fails the pre-operational 
Chain Brake test (see ‘Testing the Chain Brake’) 

Maintaining the chain drive 

•    Regularly inspect the Drive Sprocket (13) for wear and damage 
•    Return the chainsaw to an authorised GMC service centre, to replace a worn or damaged 

Sprocket 

WARNING: NEVER fit a new Saw Chain (3) to a worn Drive Sprocket (13), or a worn Saw 
Chain to a new Sprocket.

Maintaining the saw chain 

•    The Saw Chain (3) must be sharpened regularly, and adjusted to the manufacturer’s 

requirements. Have your Saw Chain sharpened by a qualified professional 

•    Replacement Saw Chains are available from your GMC stockist or from toolsparesonline.com 

Storage 

•    Store carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children 
•    Fit the Blade Guard (5) over the Guide Bar (4) and Saw Chain (3) for storage 

Preparation for long-term storage 

•    Whenever the chainsaw is out of use for an extended period of time, proceed as follows: 
1.   Thoroughly clean and check the entire tool 
2.   Protect all metal parts from corrosion by coating them with oil or a machinery preservative

Disposal

Always adhere to national regulations when disposing of power tools that are no longer 
functional and are not viable for repair.
•    Do not dispose of power tools, or other waste electrical and electronic equipment 

(WEEE), with household waste

•    Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct  way to dispose 

of power tools

•    Oil is a hazardous waste and has to be treated as such. Oil must not be disposed of with 

household waste. Improper disposal may be regarded a criminal offence in your country. 
Contact your local authority or dealer for correct disposal procedures for oil.
