properly sharpened in accordance with the
instructions.
Never operate the saw above shoulder height.
Never cut with the upper edge or the tip of the
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 uncontrollably. In
the worst case this could result in extremely severe or
even fatal injuries (Fig. 24-26).
This type of work must only be performed by persons
who have been specially trained.

8. Maintenance

8.1 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 damaged or
worn.
Proceed as described in the section "Assembly of the
cutter rail and the saw chain".
8.2 Checking the automatic chain lubrication
You should check the operation of the automatic
chain lubrication system on a regular basis in order to
guard against overheating and the associated
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 qualified
workshop.
Caution: Do not actually touch the surface with the
tip of the cutter rail when performing this test. Keep a
safe distance (approx. 20 cm).

8.3 Sharpening the saw chain

Effective working with the chainsaw is only possible 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 dealer.
Do not attempt to sharpen the saw chain yourself
unless you have the necessary special tools and
230 V ~ 50 Hz
experience.

9. Cleaning and storing

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 liquid.
If the chainsaw is not to be used for an extended
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.
