7.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could
attack the plastic parts of the equipment. En-
sure that no water can seep into the device.
7.2 Maintenance
Warning: All maintenance work on the chainsaw
apart from the work described in this manual may
only be carried out by authorized after-sales ser-
vice personnel.
7.2.1 Chain brake operational test
Test the chain brake periodically to ensure proper
function.
Perform a chain brake test prior to initial cutting,
following extensive cutting, and defi nitely fol-
lowing any Chain brake service.

mediately release the throttle trigger.
Warning: If chain does not stop, turn engine off

Service Center for service.
7. If chain brake functions properly, turn the
engine off and return the chain brake to the
DISENGAGED position.
7.2.2 Air fi lter
Note: Never operate saw without the air fi lter.
Dust and dirt will be drawn into engine and dama-
