First fi nd out to which side the branch is bent. Then make the
initial cut from the side of the bend and then complete the

12. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the body of the chain saw
Keep the body of the chain saw clean. When cleaning, use a soft cloth dipped in a soap solution. Use this cloth to
meticulously clean the body of the chain saw.
Maintaining the guide bar
Most problems with the guide bar arise due to uneven wear.
Uneven wear occurs mainly as a result of an incorrectly sharpened chain or an incorrectly set depth gauge.
When the guide bar is worn out unevenly, the guiding groove is widened (see Picture). The result is a rattling
chain and rivets falling off.
The chain saw cannot be used for straight cuts. In such a case, replace the guide bar for a new one.
Always check the condition of the guide bar before sharpening the chain. Using a worn out or damaged
guide bar is very dangerous. Using a worn out or damaged guide bar will result in damage to the chain.
Cutting with such a power tool will also be much more diffi cult and demanding.
