Tensioning And Slackening The Saw Chain (09); Filling Saw Chain Oil (10); Attaching The Carrying Belt To The Appliance (19) - AL-KO CSA 2020 Mode D'emploi

Installation
■
Align the guide rail so that the chain ten-
sioning pin (07/6) grips in one of the two
chain tensioning holes (07/7).
■
Align the saw chain so that it is in contact
in the groove of the guide rail and on the
drive sprocket.
5. Put on the chain sprocket cover (08/1) and
insert the fastening screw (08/2) and tighten
(08/a).
6. Tension the saw chain (see chapter 4.4 "Ten-
sioning and slackening the saw chain (09)",
page 37).
4.4 Tensioning and slackening the saw
chain (09)
1. Tension the saw chain; use the screwdriver
on the Allen key:
■
Tensioning the saw chain: Turn the chain
tensioning screw (09/1) clockwise (09/a).
■
Slackening the saw chain: Turn the chain
tensioning screw anti-clockwise (09/b).
2. Check the chain tension(see chapter 8.1

Filling saw chain oil (10)

There is no appliance saw chain oil in the ap-
pliance upon delivery.
IMPORTANT!
Danger of damage to the appliance
Use of the appliance without saw chain
oil leads to damage of the saw chain and
the guide rail.
■
Never operate the appliance without
saw chain oil.
■
Before starting work, fill the saw
chain oil in the oil tank and check the
oil level during the work.
■
At least before starting work each
time, check that the chain lubrication
is working.
The service life and cutting performance of the
saw chain depend on optimum lubrication. The
saw chain has oil applied to it automatically
during operation.

IMPORTANT!
Danger of damage to the appliance
Due to the metallic abrasion it contains,
the use of used oil for lubricating the
chain would lead to premature wear of
the guide rail and saw chain. Also, the
warranty of the manufacturer will become
void.
■
Never use used oil, only biologically
degradable saw chain oil.
IMPORTANT!
Danger of environmental damage
The use of mineral oil for the chain lubri-
cation leads to serious environmental
damage.
■
Never use mineral oil, but only bio-
logically degradable saw chain oil.
Each time before starting work or changing the
rechargeable battery, check the oil level and re-
plenish the saw chain oil if necessary:
1. Check the oil level in the viewing aperture
(10/1) of the oil tank. It must always be possi-
ble to see oil. The minimum and the maxi-
mum oil level must not be exceeded.
2. Place and hold the polemounted pruner hori-
zontal on a firm surface.
3. Clean the appliance around the oil tank cap
(10/2).
4. Unscrew the oil tank cap.
NOTE
■
Use a funnel for easier filling.
■
Do not allow any dirt to get into the
oil tank.
5. Fill the oil tank with biologically degradable
saw chain oil. While doing so, check the oil
level in the viewing aperture of the oil tank.
Do not allow it to overrun.
6. Screw down the oil tank cap again.
4.6 Attaching the carrying belt to the
appliance (19)
The supplied carrying belt transfers the load onto
your upper body.
1. Hang the carrying belt (19/2) over your shoul-
der.
2. Hook the snap hook of the carrying belt into
the eye (19/1) on the appliance.
