MAINTENANCE

Saw chain

!WARNING!

The chain is sharp and can cause cuts. It can cause personal injury when handled carelessly. Always wear protective gloves when working with the saw chain.

The chain is correctly tensioned when there is no slack on the underside of the bar, but it can still be turned easily by hand. Hold up the bar tip and tighten the bar nuts with the combination spanner. When fitting a new chain, the chain tension has to be checked frequently until the chain is run-in. Therefore check the chain tension regularly. A correctly tensioned chain means good cutting performance and a long lifetime.

The chain should be sharpened regularly to give optimal performance. During normal sawing of most species of wood this should be done at intervals of approximately 2 hours effective cutting time (i.e. the time that the saw chain is actually working). The chain should be sharpened more frequently when cutting those species of wood with a high sand content. A special file gauge (article no. 504 98 16-78) is available as an accessory for sharpening the saw chain. The file gauge may be ordered from your dealer.

Adjusting the bar

When replacing the bar and chain, the position of the bar may be altered. In order to eliminate poor cutting results, the adjustment of the bar should be checked (see Adjusting the bar, page 20).
