sword.
•
Always hold the chainsaw firmly with both
hands.
•
Whenever possible, use the claw stop as a
leverage point.
Cutting wood which is under tension
Special care is required when cutting wood which
is under tension. Wood which is under tension
from which it is released by cutting may in some
cases react completely unpredictably and uncont-
rollably. In the worst case this could result in extre-
mely severe or even fatal injuries (Fig. 24-26).
This type of work must only be performed by per-
sons who have been specially trained.
8. Replacing the power cable
Danger!
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
after-sales service or similarly trained personnel
to avoid danger.
9. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Danger!
•
Always disconnect the mains plug before
cleaning the chainsaw.
•
Never immerse the unit in water or other li-
quids in order to clean it.
•
Store the chainsaw in a safe and dry place
out of the reach of children.
9.1 Cleaning
•
Regularly clean the clamping mechanism by
blowing it out with compressed air or cleaning
it with a brush. Do not use tools for cleaning.
•
Keep the handles free of grease so that you
can maintain a firm grip.
•
Clean the device as required with a damp
cloth and, if necessary, mild washing up li-
quid.
•
If the chainsaw is not to be used for an exten-
ded period of time then you should remove
the chain oil from the tank. Briefly immerse
the saw chain and the cutter rail in an oil bath
and then wrap them in oil paper.

9.2 Carbon brushes
In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon
brushes checked only by a qualifi ed electrician.
Danger! The carbon brushes should not be rep
laced by anyone but a qualifi ed electrician.
9.3 Maintenance
Replacing the saw chain and cutter rail
The cutter rail needs to be replaced if
•
the guide groove of the cutter rail is worn;
•
the nose sprocket in the cutter rail is dama-
ged or worn.
Proceed as described in the section "Assembly of
the cutter rail and the saw chain".
Checking the automatic chain lubrication
You should check the operation of the automatic
chain lubrication system on a regular basis in or-
der to guard against overheating and the associ-
ated damage to the cutter rail and the saw chain.
To do this, point the tip of the cutter rail towards a
smooth surface (board, section of a cut tree) and
allow the chainsaw to run.
If an increasing oil trace becomes evident during
this process then the automatic chain lubrication
system is working properly. If no clear oil trace is
evident then please refer to the corresponding
instructions in "Troubleshooting". If the information
contained there still fails to remedy the situation
then please contact our service department or
another similarly qualifi ed workshop.
Danger! Do not actually touch the surface with
the tip of the cutter rail when performing this test.
Keep a safe distance (approx. 20 cm).
Sharpening the saw chain
Eff ective working with the chainsaw is only pos-
sible if the saw chain is in good condition and
sharp. This also reduces the risk of kickback.
The saw chain can be re-sharpened by any dea-
ler. Do not attempt to sharpen the saw chain your-
self unless you have the necessary special tools
and experience.
