Check the sprocket before mounting a new chain.
Worn out sprockets (
8
) may damage the new chain and must
therefore be replaced.
Remove the sprocket guard (See „PUTTING INTO OPERATI-
ON“ figs.
B
).
Remove the chain and guide bar.
Remove circlip (
9
).
CAUTION:
The circlip will pop out of the groove. When removing
it, hold your thumb against it to prevent it from popping off.
Remove thrust washer (
11
).
Replace the old sprocket (
8
) with a new one (
12
). For the part
number consult the “Extract from the spare parts list”.
Put on a new sprocket, the thrust washer, and a new circlip (
9
)
(for the order number see “Extract from the spare parts list”).
For replacing the guide bar, chain, and sprocket see „PUTTING
INTO OPERATION

“.
NOTE:
Don’t use a new chain on a worn chain sprocket. By the time
2 chains have worn, the sprocket has become worn out, so
it should be replaced at least at every second chain replace-
ment. To distribute the chain oil evenly, run a new chain at
half-throttle for a few minutes before use.
New chains stretch, so check the chain tension frequently (see
“Checking the chain tension”).
Likewise, replace the clutch drum at every second chain sprok-
ket replacement.
Instructions for changing the chain type
Always wear protective gloves!
- Before using a
3/8“
saw chain, be sure to first cut out the
marked section of the chip deflector (
13
)!
- To do this, first cut along the marking (
14
) with a sharp knife
and then cut across to remove the piece.
NOTE:
If switching to chain type .325“ it will be necessary to install a
newchip deflector (see „Extract from the spare parts list“ for
the part number).
Replacing the saw chain
CAUTION: Use only chains and guide bars designed for this saw
(see the Extract from the spare-parts list)
!
When changing chain types, always make sure to use the right sprocket (12). It may be necessary to change the
sprocket.
IMPORTANT: If the chain type is changed from .325“ to 3/8“, the chip deflector must be modified. See under „Instruc
-
tions for changing the chain type.“
