the claw stop on these cuts. You should therefore 

avoid these cuts as far as possible and take parti-

cular care when they are unavoidable.

The risk of kickback is at its greatest when the 

saw is positioned for a cut in the region of the tip 

of the cutter rail, as the leverage e

ff

 ect is greatest 

there (Fig. 22). It is therefore safest to position the 

saw 

fl

 at and as close as possible to the claw stop 

before making the cut (Fig. 23).

Warning! 

• 

 Make sure that the chain tension is always 

correctly adjusted.

• 

 Only use a chainsaw if it is in perfect working 

order.

• 

 Only work with a saw chain that has been 

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 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. Cleaning, maintenance and 

ordering of spare parts

Danger! 

• 

 Remove the battery each time before 

cleaning.

• 

 Never immerse the unit in water or other li-

quids in order to clean it.

8.1 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.

8.2 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. 

Remove the adapter plate (Item 19) from the 

cutter rail as shown in Fig. 27. Now 

fi

 t the adapter 

plate to the new cutter rail. 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 quali

fi

 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

E

ff

 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.
