If an increasing oil trace becomes evident during this
process then the automatic chain lubrication system
is working properly. If no clear oil trace is evident then
please refer to the corresponding instructions in “Trou-
bleshooting”. If the information contained there still fails
to remedy the situation then please contact our service
department or another similarly qualified workshop.
Danger!
Do not actually touch the surface with the tip
of the cutter rail when performing this test. Keep a safe
distance (approx. 20 cm).
6.3 Sharpening the saw chain
Effective working with the chainsaw is only possible if
the saw chain is in good condition and sharp. This also
reduces the risk of kickback.
The saw chain can be re-sharpened by any dealer. Do
not attempt to sharpen the saw chain yourself unless you
have the necessary special tools and experience.
7. Cleaning and storing
●
Regularly clean the clamping mechanism by
blowing it out with compressed air or cleaning it
with a brush. Do not use tools for cleaning.
●
Keep the handles free of grease so that you can
maintain a firm grip.
●
Clean the device as required with a damp cloth
and, if necessary, mild washing up liquid.
●
If the chainsaw is not to be used for an extended
period of time then you should remove the chain oil
from the tank. Briefly immerse the saw chain and
the cutter rail in an oil bath and then wrap them
in oil paper.
Danger!
●
Always disconnect the mains plug before clea-
ning the chainsaw.
●
Never immerse the unit in water or other liquids
in order to clean it.
●
Store the chainsaw in a safe and dry place out
of the reach of children.
