CARE AND MAINTENANCE
GENERAL CLEANING
Clean the product with a slightly damp cloth
and mild soap. Use a brush for areas that are
hard to reach.
In particular clean the air vents after every
use with a cloth and brush.
Remove stubborn dirt with high pressure air
(max. 3 bar).
Check for damaged or worn parts. Replace
damaged or worn parts before further chain
saw use. Only use identical replacement
parts as listed in the Parts List in this manual.
BAR NOSE
Clean the bar nose. Using a disposable lube
gun, insert the applicator into the lubrication
hole and inject grease until it appears at the
outside edge of the bar nose sprocket.
(Fig. 25)
Rotate the saw chain by hand. Repeat the
lubrication procedure until the entire bar nose
sprocket has been greased.
GUIDE BAR AND SAW CHAIN
MAINTENANCE
Most guide bar problems can be prevented
merely by keeping the chainsaw well
maintained. Incorrect ling and non-standard
cutter and depth gauge settings are the
causes of most guide bar problems, primarily
resulting in uneven bar wear. As the bar
wears unevenly, the rails widen, which may
cause the chain to clatter and make it difcult
to complete straight cuts. If the guide bar is
insufciently lubricated and the chainsaw is
operated with a chain which is too tight, the
bar will wear rapidly. To help minimize bar
wear, maintenance of the guide bar as well
as the saw chain is recommended.
REMOVING THE GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN

WARNING!
To avoid serious personal
injury, read and understand all the safety
instructions in this section.
WARNING!
Before performing any
maintenance, remove the battery pack from
the tool. Failure to heed this warning could
result in serious personal injury.
WARNING!
Never touch or adjust the
chain while the motor is running. The saw
chain is very sharp. Always wear protective
gloves when performing maintenance
involving the chain to avoid possible serious
lacerations.
CAUTION!
Always wear gloves
when handling the bar and chain. These
components are sharp and may contain
burrs.
WARNING!
Always hold the chainsaw
with your right hand on the rear handle and
your left hand on the front handle. Holding the
chainsaw with a reversed hand conguration
increases the risk of personal injury and
should never be done.
■ Place the chainsaw on a suitable at
surface.
■ Rotate the chain cover red lock knob
counterclockwise to loosen and remove the
chain cover. (Fig. 26)
■ Remove bar and chain assembly from
support bolt. (Fig. 33)
■ Wear protective gloves, and remove the
used chain from guide bar.
Check the oiling port (see Fig. 4) for clogging
and clean if necessary to ensure proper
lubrication of the guide bar and saw chain
during operation. Use a soft wire small
enough to insert into the oil discharge hole.
