Regularly check the chain tension, sharpen the chain, clean the guide bar, and inspect the power cord and plug for any signs of wear or damage.

Can I use the saw in wet conditions?

It is not recommended to use the Bosch UniversalChain 40 in wet conditions due to the risk of electric shock and potential damage to the tool.
