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 experience.
8.4 Changing the carbon brushes (Fig. 25a – 25b)
Important!
Always pull out the power plug before changing the
carbon brushes. Worn carbon brushes must be
replaced.
Proceed as follows:
Remove the cover as shown in Figure 25a
Pull out the carbon brushes (Fig. 25b)
Insert the new carbon brushes
Replace the cover

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.

Caution:
Always disconnect the mains plug before
cleaning the chainsaw.
Never immerse the unit in water or other liquids in
order to clean it.
Store the chainsaw in a safe and dry place out of
the reach of children.
10. Notes on environmental protection /
disposal
The device must be properly disposed of when it
reaches the end of its service life. Cut off the power
cable to prevent it being used by mistake. The device
must not be disposed of as domestic waste. Instead,
in the interests of the environment it should be
