Care of the guide rail
Turn the rail around every time you have the chain sharpened or replaced. This will avoid a one-sided
wear of the rail, especially at the top and bottom.
Regularly clean

Servicing and sharpening of saw chain
The correct sharpened chain
Working effectively with the chainsaw is only possible if the chain is in good condition and
sharp. This also reduces the risk of kickback. The chain can be re-sharpened by any dealer. Do not
attempt to sharpen the chain yourself unless you have the necessary special tools and experience. A
properly sharpened chain goes way through the wood and it requires very little pressure. Do not work
with a dull or damaged chain. It increases physical exertion, increase the vibrations and leads to
unsatisfactory results and higher wear.
- Clean the chain.
- Check it.
- Replace damaged or worn parts with matching spare parts they are in the shape and size of the
original parts as necessary.
- Sharpening a chain should be performed only by experienced users!
Notice. Below the angle and dimensions If the chain is not properly sharpened or the depth is too
small, there is a higher risk of reversion effects and resulting injuries! The chain cannot be fixed on
the guide rail. It is therefore best to remove the chain from the rail and then sharpen.
- Select the appropriate tools for the chain pitch sharpening tool. See "Specifications" for the allowed
chain pitches.
