A cutting attachment consists of the saw 

chain, guide bar and chain sprocket.
The cutting attachment that comes 

standard is designed to exactly match 

the chain saw.

The pitch (t) of the saw chain (1), 

chain sprocket and the nose 

sprocket of the Rollomatic guide bar 

must match.

The drive link gauge (2) of the saw 

chain (1) must match the groove 

width of the guide bar (3).

If non-matching components are used, 

the cutting attachment may be damaged 

beyond repair after a short period of 

operation.

Chain Scabbard

Your saw comes standard with a chain 

scabbard that matches the cutting 

attachment.
If guide bars of different lengths are 

mounted to the saw, always use a chain 

scabbard of the correct length which 

covers the complete guide bar.
The length of the matching guide bars is 

marked on the side of the chain 

scabbard.
Guide bars longer than 90 cm require 

one scabbard extension. Guide bars 

longer than 120 cm require two 

scabbard extensions.
Depending on the model, the scabbard 

extension either comes standard with 

the saw or is available as a special 

accessory.

Fitting Chain Scabbard Extension

N

Push the scabbard extension and 

chain scabbard together – the 

lugs (1) must engage in the chain 

scabbard.
