Maintaining the diamond abrasive chain
After finishing work:
N Remove diamond abrasive chain
and guide bar
N Rinse diamond abrasive chain and
guide bar with water
N Dry diamond abrasive chain and
guide bar

guide bar with STIHL multispray – in
particular the bearing of the
sprocket nose – corrosion
protection
Check diamond abrasive chain regularly
N Check the diamond abrasive chain
for cracks and damaged rivets
N Replace damaged or worn chain
components – contact a servicing
dealer
Never use a dull or damaged diamond
abrasive chain – this leads to increased
physical strain, increased vibration load,
unsatisfactory results and increased
wear.
If cutting performance begins to
deteriorate, check the sharpness of the
diamond abrasive chain, resharpen as
needed. To do this, briefly cut through
abrasive material, e. g., sandstone,
aerated concrete or asphalt.
