6.1 Temizlik

• Temizlemeden önce mutlaka pili çıkarın.
• Clean the saw thoroughly after each use, removing sawdust and debris from the chain, guide bar, and motor housing.

6.2 Zincir Yağlaması

Regular chain lubrication is crucial for optimal performance and chain life.

1. Pilin çıkarıldığından emin olun.

6.3 Zincir Bileme ve Değiştirme

• Replace the chain when it becomes too dull to sharpen or is damaged.
