Sawing on a slope (Fig. K)
When sawing on a slope, make sure you always
stand higher than the tree trunk (Fig. K). In order to
maintain complete control at the moment of "sawing
through", reduce pressure towards the end of the
cut without releasing your tight grip on the handles
of the chainsaw.
Warning!: The saw chain must not come in contact
with the ground.
After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to
come to a standstill before removing the chainsaw.
Always turn off the chainsaw's motor when going
from one tree to the next.
10. Maintenance
Always pull the plug out of the power socket before
doing any work on the chainsaw!
• Keep the cooling vents on the motor housing clean
and unobstructed at all times.
• Only the maintenance work described in these op-
erating instructions may be carried out. Any other
maintenance work must be carried out by our Cus-
tomer Service.
• Do not modify the power saw in any way as this
could jeopardize its safety.
• Should the chainsaw fail despite our careful manu-
facturing and inspection procedures, have it re-
paired by an authorized Customer Service work-
shop.
Filling in chain oil
To prevent dirt getting inside the tank, clean the oil
tank cap (21) before opening. Check the contents of
the oil tank during sawing work by checking the oil
gauge (15). Close the oil tank cap tightly and wipe
away any spills.
Sharpening the saw chain
You can have your saw chain sharpened fast and cor-
rectly by specialist dealers, from whom you can also
obtain chain sharpening equipment to enable you to
sharpen the chain yourself.
Please follow the corresponding operating instruc-
tions.
Take care of your tools. Keep your tools sharp and
clean to enable you to work well and safely.
Follow the maintenance regulations and the instruc-
tions for changing tools.
