Maintenance and service
Attention! Prior to start any work connected with mainte-
nance and cleaning, always disconnect the power cable
plug from the power supply source.

After each use clean the chainsaw from sawdust and oil. To protect
the chainsaw internals from impurities, the vent holes (21) serving
for engine cooling are equipped by a filter (22). The filter is de-
signed so that its cleaning by a simple brush may be enough under
normal conditions. In case of high pollution by sawdust the filter
can be dismantled and cleaned out of the device, e.g. by blowing
the sawdust away. For this purpose release the filter cover (23) by
screwdriver from the holders (see Fig.), remove the filter and clean
it. Place the clean filter back on the vent holes (21) and press the
filter cover (23) back by your hand.
If the chain is polluted heavily, e.g. by resin, it has to be dismantled
and cleaned. Place the chain for several hours into a vessel filled
with saw chain cleaner. Flush the chain by water afterwards. If
the chain is not used immediately, treat it by a service spray or by
a standard anticorrosion spray.
Only when the biological oil for chains is used: As certain kinds
of biological oil can be sensitive to creation of peels after a certain
time period, before a long chainsaw storage the oil system should
be flushed. Fill the empty oil tank by the saw chain cleaner - as
high as one half of the tank (ca 100 ml) - and close the tank. Start
the chainsaw without the installed bar and chain so long until the
whole liquid is drained out of the chainsaw hole. Before reuse of
the chainsaw do not forget to fill its tank by oil!
Do not store the chainsaw in the open air or in wet rooms.
Check all chainsaw assemblies before each use for their wear, in
particular chain, bar and chain sprocket.
Take care of correct chain setting. Too much tensioned chain may
spring out during the work and cause injury. Damaged chain must
be replaced immediately. The minimum length of the cutting teeth
should be 4 mm.
Check motor housing and lead-in cable before use for possible
damage. If any signs of damage are established, the chainsaw must
be repaired by a specialized workshop and/or service centre.
Check chain sharpening before each use of the chainsaw. Dull chain
results in engine overheating.
As professional knowledge is needed for chain sharpening, this op-
eration should be made by a specialized workshop.
Attention! With respect to protection from el. shock and
preservation of the class of protection, all maintenance
and service operations requesting jig saw case removal
must be performed by the authorized service centre only!
The current list of authorized service centres can be found at our website
www.narex.cz, section "Service Centres".

Technical problems
Engine is not started: Check the power supply source (socket).
Check the lead-in cable for possible damage. If remedy is not
reached, handover the chainsaw to the specialized workshop or to
the manufacturer's service centre.
Chain is not started: Check position of the hand guard (4). The
chain is started at the released brake only.
Heavy engine sparkling: Damaged engine or carbon brush.
Handover the chainsaw to the specialized workshop or to the man-
ufacturer's service centre.
Oil is not distributed: Check oil level. Clean holes in the bar for
smooth oil flow (see also corresponding instruction in the part
"Maintenance and cleaning"). If remedy is not reached, handover
the chainsaw to the specialized workshop or to the manufacturer's
service centre.
Attention! The maintenance and repair works other than
those contained in this Operating Manual may be per-
formed by authorized staff or by the manufacturer's ser-
vice centre only.
Attention! Damaged lead-in cable of the chainsaw may be
replaced only by the specialized workshop authorized by
the manufacturer or by the manufacturer's service centre,
because special tools are necessary for this operation.
