Cleaning
• Clean the tool thoroughly after every use. In this way, you extend the life of the tool and
avoid accidents.
• Keep the gripping handles free of petrol, oil or grease. Clean the gripping handles,
where appropriate, with a moist cloth soaked in soap. Use no solvents or petrol for
cleaning!
• Clean the saw chain after every use. Use a paint brush or wipe for that. Do not use any
liquids to clean the saw chain. After cleaning, oil the saw chain lightly with saw chain oil.
• Clean the ventilation slots and the surfaces of the tool with a paint brush, whisk or dry
cloth. Do not use any liquids for cleaning.
Saw chain oiling
Clean and oil the chain regularly. This keeps the chain sharp and achieves optimum
performance.
Remove the battery and use cut resistant gloves when working with the chain or with
the guide bar.
The guide bar and chain must never be operated without oil. If the chainsaw is used
with too little oil, the cutting performance and lifespan of the saw chain will decrease
as the chain will become blunt more quickly. You can identify when there is too little oil
if smoke develops or the guide bar changes color.
Switch off the tool and remove the battery before carrying out any maintenance
work.
• Oil the saw chain after cleaning, after 10 hours of use or at least once a week, whichever
comes first.
• Before oiling, the guide bar, especially the teeth of the guide bar, must be thoroughly
cleaned. Use a hand brush and a dry cloth for this purpose.
• Oil the individual chain links using an oil syringe with a needle tip (available from
specialist dealers). Apply individual drops of oil on the joints and on the tooth tips of the
individual chain links.
Saw chain sharpening
1. Sharpen only from the inside to the outside. Guide the file from the inner side of the
cutting teeth to the outer side. Lift the file when you are withdrawing it.
2. First sharpen the teeth on one side. Turn the saw around and sharpen the teeth of the
other side.
3. The saw chain is worn and must be replaced with a new one if only approx. 4 mm of the
cutting teeth is remaining.
