13.7 Maintenance of the guide bar
• Remove any burrs on the edge of the guide bar us-
ing a metal file.
• Clean the groove of the guide bar (16) using a brush
or compressed air. Replace the guide bar (16) as
soon as the groove is worn.
• Turn the guide rail (16) after each use to ensure
even wear.
• Check the sprocket at the tip of the guide bar (16)
for smooth running. If necessary, lubricate it with a
bearing oil
13.8 Sharpening and maintaining the saw chain
m WARNING
Danger of injury!
The teeth of the saw chain are very sharp. In order to
avoid injuries, always wear thick gloves when in use!
Keep the saw chain in a good operating condition;
effective work with the chainsaw is only possible if
the saw chain is sharp, well lubricated and properly
tensioned. This also reduces the risk of kick-back.
The properly sharpened saw chain (17)
A properly sharpened saw chain (17) goes effortless-
ly through the wood and requires very little pressure.
Do not work with a dull or damaged saw chain (17). It
increases physical exertion, magnifies the vibrations
and leads to unsatisfactory results as well as greater
wear and tear.
• Clean the saw chain (17) regularly.
• Check the saw chain (17) for breaks in the links and
damaged rivets.
• Sharpening a saw chain (17) should only be carried
out by experienced users!
• Note the angles and dimensions specified below. If
the saw chain (17) is not properly sharpened or the
depth gauge is too small, there is a higher risk of
kickback effects and the resulting injuries! The saw
chain (17) cannot be fixed on the guide bar (16). It
is therefore best to remove the saw chain (17) from
the guide bar (16) and then sharpen it.
• Select a sharpening tool that is suitable for the
chain pitch.
The chain pitch (e.g. 3/8") is marked in the depth
gauge of each blade.

Only use files specifically for saw chains!
Other files have the wrong shape and the wrong
edge. Select the diameter of the file according to your
chain pitch. Be sure to also note the following angles
when sharpening the cutting links.
A = file angle
B = angle of the side plate
Furthermore, the angle must be maintained for all
cutting links.
If the angles are uneven, the saw chain (17) will run
erratically, wear out quickly and break prematurely.
Since these requirements can only be met with suffi-
cient and regular practice:
• Use a file holder.
• A file holder must be used when sharpening the
saw chain (17) by hand. The correct filing angles
are marked on it.
1. Hold the file horizontally (at the correct angle to
the guide bar (16)) and file according to the angle
marking on the file holder. Support the file holder
on the top plate and the depth limiter.
2. Always file the cutting link from the inside out.
3. The file only sharpens as it moves forward. Lift
the file off as you move backwards.
4. Do not touch the drive links or fastening links with
the file.
5. Turn the file regularly to avoid wear on one side.
6. Use a piece of hard wood to remove the burr from
cutting edges.
All cutting links must have the same length, otherwise
they will also be of different heights.
This causes the saw chain (17) to run erratically and
increases the danger of breaking.
