Maintenance And Care
IMPORTANT -
Routine and accurate maintenance is essential for maintaining original
machine safety and performance levels.
WARNING -
Before cleaning or doing maintenance work, you need to unplug the chainsaw
from the mains. You need to wear proper clothing and protective gloves whenever your hands
are at risk.
If there are worn or damaged parts, never use the machine. Faulty or worn-out parts must be
replaced and not repaired. You must only use original spare parts. The use of non-original and/or
incorrectly fitted parts will jeopardize the safety of the machine. This may also cause accidents or
personal injuries for which the manufacturer is under no circumstance liable or responsible.
Any maintenance operations or adjustments not explained in this manual must be carried out
by your Dealer or a specialised Service Centre with the necessary knowledge and equipment to
ensure that the work is done correctly maintaining the machine’s original safety level. Any
operations performed in unauthorised centres or by unqualified persons will invalidate the
Warranty and all obligations and responsibilities of the Manufacturer

Maintenance Safety
Bar Maintenance
Most guide bar problems can be prevented merely by keeping the product well maintained.
Incorrect filing and non-standard cutter and depth gauge settings are the causes of most guide
bar problems, primarily resulting in uneven bar wear. As the bar wears unevenly, the rails widen,
which may cause the chain to clatter and make it difficult to complete straight cuts. If the guide
bar is insufficiently lubricated and the product is operated with a saw chain which is too tight, this
will contribute to rapid bar wear. To help minimise bar wear, maintenance of the guide bar as well
as the saw chain, is recommended.
To keep the bar in good working order, you must follow these maintenance procedures.
1. After approximately 5 hours use, the bar should be turned, to ensure even
wear on the top and bottom of the bar.
2. The bar rails should be cleaned every time the bar is turned, or the chain is removed.
Using a suitable implement, clear any debris from the bar rails. This will keep the oil
passages open and provide correct lubrication to the bar and chain.
WARNING! Make sure that the chainsaw is disconnected from the mains supply before
continuing.
