After finishing work
N
Disconnect the plug from the wall
outlet.
N
Slacken off the chain if you have
retensioned it at operating
temperature during cutting work.
NOTICE
Always slacken off the chain after
finishing work. The chain contracts as it
cools down. If it is not slackened off, it
can damage the drive shaft and
bearings.
Storing for a long period
See chapter on "Storing the Machine"
N
Turn the guide bar over – every time
you sharpen the chain and every
time you replace the chain –
this
helps avoid one-sided wear,
especially at the nose and
underside of the bar.
N
Regularly clean the oil inlet hole (1),
the oilway (2) and the bar groove
(3).
N
Measure the groove depth – with the
scale on the filing gauge (special
accessory) – in the area used most
for cutting.
If groove depth is less than specified:
N
Replace the guide bar.
The drive link tangs will otherwise
scrape along the bottom of the groove –
the cutters and tie straps will not ride on
the bar rails.
