8. Maintenance
8.1 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 described in the section "Assembly of
the cutter rail and the saw chain".
8.2 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 qua-
lifi ed workshop. Important! Do not actually touch
the surface with the tip of the cutter rail when per-
forming this test. Keep a safe distance (approx.
20 cm).
8.3 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.
