Transport

11 TRANSPORT
Before transporting, carry out the following meas-
ures:
1. Switch off the chain saw
2. Put on the chain guard
3. Remove the battery
Only carry the chain saw using the handle. When
doing so, the chain bar must point downwards.
WARNING!
Danger of fatal injury and danger of
extremely severe injury.
During transport, a running saw chain
can lead to extremely serious and even
fatal injury.
■
Never carry and transport the chain
saw with the saw chain running.
■
Before transporting, carry out the
measures mentioned above.
In vehicles: Secure the chain saw against tipping
over, damage and leakage of chain oil.

12 MAINTENANCE AND CARE

The chain saw complies with all relevant safety
standards. Repairs are only allowed to be per-
formed by qualified specialists, and with the ex-
clusive use of genuine spare parts.
■
After each use, check the chain saw for wear
and renew any damaged
■
components.
■
Do not get the machine wet or expose it to
moisture. Clean plastic parts with a cloth and
do not use any cleaning agents or solvents.
■
Clean the cooling air slots if they are blocked.
■
Do not spray the chain saw not with water
and do not use a high-pressure cleaner.
■
Only use spare parts specified by the manu-
facturer.
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to chain saw being
started inadvertently
A chain saw that is started inadvertently
can lead to serious injury.
■
Before all maintenance and care
work, remove the rechargeable bat-
tery.
■
Wear protective gloves.

12.1 Sharpening the saw chain (13)

Do not work with a blunt or damaged saw chain.
The consequences include physical strain, a poor
cutting result and high levels of chain wear.
CAUTION!
Danger of injury from the saw chain!
The sharp edges of the saw chain can
cause serious laceration injuries.
■
Wear protective gloves when re-
sharpening the saw chain.
NOTE
Inexperienced chain saw operators are
recommended to have the saw chain
sharpened by a specialist at the cus-
tomer service.
To achieve an optimum cutting result, it is neces-
sary for the saw chain to be resharpened at regu-
lar intervals.
A correctly sharpened saw chain reduces the
danger of kickback and prevents high levels of
wear.
The saw chain must be resharpened when saw-
dust is produced during cutting, or if the saw has
difficulty cutting through the wood. When a saw
chain is sharp, it generates large and long chips.
1. Switch off the chain saw and remove the re-
chargeable battery.
2. Check the chain tension and adjust it if ne-
cessary.
3. Only use a suitable tool for sharpening:
Round chain file Ø = 4.0 mm, file guide,
chain gauge.
These tools are available from specialist re-
tailers.
4. The individual chain links consist of a saw
link (13/3), saw tooth (13/1) and a depth lim-
iter (13/2).
5. Guide the file from the inside to the outside of
the cutting tooth, exerting slight pressure and
holding it perpendicular (13). A file guide is
helpful for handling the file correctly. 2 – 3 file
strokes are sufficient.
6. When sharpening, maintain the angles (13)
on the cutting tooth and the height of the
depth limiter (13/2) in relation to the cutter.
Make sure that all cutting teeth on the chain
have equally length and width after sharpen-
ing.
