• Always wear safety gloves during
maintenance and service – the chain is
sharp.
• Regular cleaning and some simple
maintenance is necessary to ensure
problem-free functionality and long
useful life.
• Empty the chain oil reservoir. Remove the
chain and bar (wear safety gloves), and
clean and lubricate them lightly with oil.
Store the cleaned and lubricated product
in a dry place out of the reach of children.
If the product is stored with the bar fitted,
put the guard on. After prolonged storage
the product should be checked by an
authorised service centre before use,
in that oil residue can have hardened
and the oil pump valve could be blocked.
• Measures after each use:
– The bar should be cleaned and
lightly lubricated with oil after use.
– Clean the ventilation openings on
the product with a soft brush or dry
cloth.
– The product can be cleaned with a
damp cloth. Do not use detergent
that contains solvents or corrosive or
abrasive additives – risk of damaging
the surface of the product.
– Remove solid deposits with a hard
brush.
– Check that all the switches are
unobstructed.
• Remove the chain cover at regular
intervals and carefully tap off dust and
chippings from the mechanism.
STORAGE
• Clean the product thoroughly so that all
dust and dirt is removed.

The supplied bar guard must always be fitted
during transport and storage.
CHAIN MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
Always wear safety gloves.
It is only possible to work effectively when
the chain is in good condition and correctly
sharpened. A sharp and correctly filed chain
also reduces the risk of kickback. The chain
should be filed when:
– the sawdust becomes floury when
sawing in damp wood
– the sawing capacity is reduced in
spite of pressure on the bar
– the surface of the cut is roughened
– the bar begins to pull to the right or
left.
Sharpening the chain
WARNING!
• A worn or incorrectly filed chain can
result in kickback, which can result in
fatal and/or serious personal injury.
• Wear heavy-duty safety gloves when
handling the bar and chain.
• The filing should be done with a special
tool to ensure that the chain has the right
angles and height.
• All the drive links should have the same
height. Different heights of the drive links
will cause the chain to run out of balance
and damage it.
• The minimum size of drive links is 4 mm.
Discard the chain if they are less.
The angles of the cutting edges must
be maintained. File with 2 or 3 strokes
from inside and out.
