•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as
far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with
compressed air at low pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have
finished using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth. Do not use cleaning agents or
solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no
water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool
increases the risk of an electric shock.
8.2 Maintenance
8.2.1 Chainsaw mounting kit
Replacing the saw chain and cutter rail
The cutter rail needs to be replaced if the guide groove of the cutter rail is worn;
Proceed as
described in the section “Assembly of the cutter rail and the saw chain”.
Checking the automatic chain lubrication
You should check the operation of the automatic chain lubrication system on a
regular basis in order to guard against overheating and the associated damage to
the cutter rail and the saw chain. To do this, point the tip of the cutter rail towards
a smooth surface (board, section of a cut tree) and allow the chainsaw to run. 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 “Troubleshooting”. If the information
contained there still fails to remedy the situation then please contact our service
department or another similarly qualified workshop. Important! Do not actually
touch the surface with the tip of the cutter rail when performing this test. Keep a
safe distance (approx. 20 cm).
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.
