ther whilst it is hot, it must be loosened
again when cool.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
Allow the chainsaw to cool off after
each use.
Clean the chainsaw with a brush or
compressed air.
Wipe the outside of the chainsaw with a
well- wrung damp cloth.
Always make sure the guide in the blade
is free of sawdust and bark splinters to
ensure the chain is correctly lubricated.
Use compressed air to keep the guide
clear. Remove the chain to clean the
guide if it cannot be cleaned satisfacto-
rily with the chain on.
Lubricate the chain wheel at the front
of the blade regularly. Remove the
chain, clean the slots in the blade and
drip chainsaw oil down into the chain
wheel.
Keep the oil feed hole on the blade clean
so that chain oil can be freely added.
Make sure to clean the cooling fins
around the cylinder, as the saw may
otherwise overheat during use.
Place the protective cover on the blade
before the chainsaw is put away for
storage.
Empty the fuel into a suitable container
and store the chainsaw out of the reach
of children in a dry, frost-free location.
MAINTENANCE
Checking the chain
A sharp chain creates large saw chips,
while a blunt chain creates sawdust.
Once the chain is blunt, the saw must
also be pressed against the tree to
engage, and there is a risk the saw will
kick back significantly.
When the chain is no longer sharp,
sharpen the teeth using a round file
with a filing attachment (A), a flat file (B)
and a depth- gauge tool (C).

You can also use an electric chain
grinder. Be very careful when sharpen-
ing the teeth – use gloves!
Replace the chain once the teeth are
worn down to the mark or if they be-
come narrower than 4 mm.
Sharpening the chain
1. Secure the chainsaw blade in a vice
or saw groove in a tree stump. The
chainsaw must be as firmly secured as
possible.
