A prerequisite for trouble-free and long-term use of a chainsaw, like other technical equipment, is proper daily maintenance performed by the user. These activities do not require special knowledge or the use of special workshop equipment. The scope of necessary maintenance is contained in the instruction manual supplied with the saw.Due to the harsh working conditions, the basic daily maintenance activity is to check and cleaning the air filter.

No less important factor affecting the life of a chainsaw is the condition of the cutting system and, in particular, the condition of the chain. Quick and safe execution of the work is ensured only by proper sharpening of the cutting links. This activity requires a certain amount of experience and the observance of the rules of operating the cutting system. When doing so, it is important to remember that chain sharpening occurs in two stages. After sharpening the cutting edges of the chain cutting teeth, carefully adjust the height of the depth stops.

Only in this way prepared chain will make it possible to reduce the mechanical load on the drive train of the saw, increasing the life of the machine. A not insignificant factor affecting the long-term, trouble-free use of the chainsaw is the use of consumables recommended by the manufacturer. A special function is oil intended to lubricate the engine. It is a component of the fuel-oil mixture designed to power the engine. The recommended oil contains components that significantly reduce the natural wear of mating engine components.
