Cleaning the oil guide groove of the saw rail
– Removing the saw rail.
– Clean dirt from the oil guide groove of the saw rail with a suitable tool.
– Replace the saw rail (
Installing the saw rail and sawing chain – p. 106).
Checking the tensioning of the saw chain
The saw chain is tensioned correctly if it lies close against the underside of the saw rail and can
be moved easily by hand.
– Loosen the chain brake (snap in the hand guard towards the back).
– By turning the saw chain by hand, check to see that it is running correctly.
– Readjust tension of the saw chain when necessary (
Tightening the chain – p. 106).
Checking the chain greasing
– Check the oil in the saw chain oil tank and fill up if necessary (
– Start the motor and press the throttle through (
– Hold the running saw chain approx. 15 cm over a suitable surface for a short time.
If there is sufficient chain greasing, the oil spraying off of the saw chain will form a slight trail.
Checking the chain brake
The chain brake ensures immediate blocking of the saw chain in case of a rebound. Before
beginning work with the device, it must be checked to ensure that it is functioning correctly.
– Set device on the ground.
– Tip the hand guard towards the back.
– Start the motor and press the throttle through.
– Tip the hand guard forwards. The chain must stop immediately.
– If the chain brake is not working correctly, have the device checked by an expert immedi-
ately.
NOTICE!
Device damage!
To clean the saw rail, use only a plastic spatula, never a steel tool.
DANGER!
Risk of injury!
A new saw chain must be re-tensioned after a maximum of five cuts. This is normal dur-
ing the run-in time; the intervals between subsequent re-tensionings will get larger.
NOTICE!
Device damage!
The device may not be used without sufficient chain greasing.
Insufficient greasing reduces the service life of the device.
Note:
The chain saw is equipped with an automatic oiler system with gear wheel drive. The
oiler provides the rail and the chain automatically with the correct quantity of oil. As
soon as the motor is accelerated, the oil flows faster to the saw rail. There is no flow
setting. The oil reserve should run out at approximately the same time as the fuel
reserve.
