Chain Lubrication; Operating The Chainsaw - Grizzly Tools EKS 2440 QT Traduction De La Notice D'utilisation Originale

GB
An incorrectly tensioned chain
may break or spring off, leading
to danger of injury. Test the elec-
tric saw before every start and
the chain tension after every
hour of sawing.
The chain is correctly tensioned if it does
not sag at the rail underside and can be
rotated completely around with the gloved
hand.
When the saw chain is tensioned with 9 N
(approx. 1 kg), the gap between the saw
chain and the guide rail may not be more
than 2 mm.
1. Ensure that the chain brake has been
released, that is, that the chain brake
lever (3) is pulled up against the front
grip (8).
2. Unscrew the fastening bolt (14).
3. To tighten the saw, turn the chain ad-
justment ring (13) clockwise. To loosen
the tension, turn the chain adjustment
ring anti-clockwise.
4. Tighten up the fastening bolt (14)
again.
With a new saw chain, you must
readjust the chain tension after at
least 5 cutting operations.

Chain lubrication

The rail and chain must never be
without oil. If you operate the elec-
tric chainsaw with too little oil, the
cutting performance and the life-
130
time of the saw chain is reduced,
since the chain becomes blunt
faster. You can identify a case of
too little oil where smoke develop-
ment or discoloration of the rail oc-
curs.
The chainsaw is equipped with an auto-
matic oiling system. As soon as the motor
is speeded up, the oil also flows faster to
the chain bar (4).
Filling up with chain oil:
• Check the oil fill level and regularly top
C
up with oil (
125 ml oil.
• Use Parkside bio-oil; this product con-
tains additives that reduce wear and
tear and does not damage the pump
system. bio-oil is available from our
Service-Center.
• If you have no bio-oil available, use
chain lubrication oil with low adhesive
additive content.
1. Unscrew the oil fill cap (2) and fill up
with chain oil.
2. Wipe off any spilled oil and close the
cap again.
Always switch off the device and
allow the motor to cool before
filling with chain oil. There is a
risk of fire if oil overflows.

Operating the chainsaw

Switch on the chainsaw only when
chain bar, saw chain and sprocket
chain wheel covering are correctly
assembled. Ensure the voltage of
the mains connection agrees with
the label on the device. Make sure
you have a secure stance
