8. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Remove the battery pack before doing any
cleaning and maintenance work.
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 equipment 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.
•
Never immerse the equipment in water or
other liquids in order to clean it.
•
Use a brush to remove deposits from the sa-
fety guards.
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could at-
tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu-
re that no water can seep into the device. The
ingress of water into an electric tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.
8.2 Maintenance
8.2.1 Chainsaw mounting kit
Replacing the saw chain and cutter rail
The cutter rail needs to be replaced if the guide
groove of the cutter rail is worn; Proceed as de-
scribed 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 "Troub-
leshooting". If the information contained there still
fails to remedy the situation then please contact
our service department or another similarly quali-
fi ed workshop.
Important! 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
Eff 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 dealer.
Do not attempt to sharpen the saw chain yourself
unless you have the necessary special tools and
experience.

9. Disposal and recycling

The equipment is supplied in packaging to pre-

materials in this packaging can be reused or
recycled. The equipment and its accessories are
made of various types of material, such as metal

your household refuse. The equipment should
be taken to a suitable collection center for proper
disposal. If you do not know the whereabouts of
such a collection point, you should ask in your
