! WARNING: Never carry out maintenance when the
engine is warm. This will prevent burning your hands
and fingers.
Spark plug
The spark plug must be clean and with the correct
gap between the electrodes to achieve optimal engine
efficiency.
Press the START/STOP switch down.
Disconnect the wire end from the spark plug by simul-
taneously pulling and twisting from the spark plug.
Remove the spark plug using a spark plug wrench.
Do not use any other tools.
Install a new spark plug with an electrode gap of 0.65
mm.
Carburetor settings
The carburettor is factory pre-set for optimal perfor-
mance. If further adjustments are needed, take your
saw to the nearest service center.
Chainsaw storage
Storing a chainsaw for more than 30 days requires
organized storage. If the storage conditions listed
here are not followed, the fuel left in the carburetor
will evaporate and leave gelatin-like deposits. This
can result in difficult starting and costly repairs.
! CAUTION: Never store a gasoline powered cha-
insaw for more than 30 days without taking the fo-
llowing precautions.
Slowly remove the fuel tank cap to release any exce-
ss pressure in the tank. Carefully empty the tank into
a suitable container prepared in advance.
Start the engine and let it run until it shuts off by itself.
This will remove the fuel from the carburetor.
Allow the engine to cool down (approximately 5
minutes).
Using a special spark plug wrench, remove the spark
plug.
Pour 1 teaspoon of pure 2-stroke oil into the com-
bustion chamber. Pull the starter rope slowly several
times. This will lubricate the internal components.
Refit the spark plug.
Store the saw in a clean and dry place away from
possible sources of ignition, such as stove, gas boiler,
gas dryer, etc.
Re-commissioning after storage
Remove the spark plug.
Firmly pull the starter cable. This will remove oil
residues from the combustion chamber.
Clean and reinstall the spark plug or install a new
spark plug with the correct gap.
Prepare the saw for operation.
Fill the fuel tank with a fresh mixture of gasoline and
oil. See chapter Fuel and lubricant.
Guide rail maintenance
Frequent lubrication of the guide bar (a bar equipped
with a guide groove that guides and supports the saw
chain) and chains is required. Proper maintenance
of the guide rail, as described in this chapter, is the
basis of a well-functioning chain saws.
Sprocket tip lubrication
! NOTE: The chain at the tip of the guide bar has
been pre-lubricated at the factory. Insufficient lub-
rication of the guide bar chain will result in poor
performance and subsequent binding, and is also
the reason for not recognizing the manufacturer's
warranty.
Chain lubrication is recommended after 10 hours of
operation or once a week, whichever occurs first.
Before lubrication, always thoroughly clean the tip of
the sprocket of the guide rail.
A grease gun (not included) is recommended for
greasing the tip of the guide bar sprocket. The grease
gun is equipped with a needle nose, which is needed
for effective application of grease to the tip of the
sprocket.
! WARNING: Use strong leather work gloves when
working with the bar and chain.
Press the START/STOP button down.
It is not necessary to remove the saw chain to lubrica-
te the guide bar chain tip.
Clean the tip of the chain guide bar.
Using a grease gun, insert the needle nose into the
grease hole and push the grease in until it appears on
the outer edge of the sprocket tip.
Turn the saw chain by hand. Repeat the lubrication
procedure until the entire chain in the guide bar is
lubricated.
Insufficient lubrication of the guide bar and operation
of the saw with the chain too tight contributes to rapid
wear of the bar.
To minimize bar wear, we recommend following the
maintenance procedure below.
