Oiling the saw chain
Clean and oil the chain regularly. In
this way, you keep the chain sharp
and get optimum machine perfor-
mance. In case of damage due to
inadequate maintenance of the saw
chain, the guarantee claim is invalid.
Remove the power plug and use
cut-protection gloves when you are
handling the chain or the chain bar.
• Oil the chain after cleaning, after 10
hours of use or at least once weekly,
depending on which comes first.
• Before oiling, the chain bar must be
cleaned thoroughly, in particular the
teeth of the rail. Use a whisk and a dry
cloth for that.
• Oil the individual chain links with the
aid of an oil suction gun with pinpoint
tip (available in the specialist trade).
Place individual oil drops onto the ar-
ticulated links and onto the tooth tips of
the individual chain links.
Sharpening the saw chain
An incorrectly sharpened saw
chain increases the danger of
spring-back! Use cut-protection
gloves when you are handling the
chain or the chain bar.
A sharp chain guarantees an optimal
cutting performance. It eats effort -
lessly through the wood and leaves
large, long wooden chips. A saw
chain is blunt if you have to press
the cutting equipment through the
wood and the wooden chips are
very small. In the case of a very
blunt saw chain, no chip cuttings
result at all, only sawdust.
• The sawing parts of the chain are the
cutting elements, which consist of a
cutting tooth and a depth limiting projec-
tion. The vertical separation distance
between these two determines the
sharpness depth.
• The following values must be noted in
sharpening the cutting teeth:
- Sharp edge angle (30°)
- Breast angle (85°)
- Sharpness depth (0.65 mm)
- Round file diameter (4.0 mm)
