User manual BOSCH AKE 35

[. . . ] Die Kettensäge regelmäßig auf offensichtliche Mängel untersuchen, wie eine lose, ausgehängte oder beschädigte Sägekette, lose Befestigung und verschlissene oder beschädigte Bauteile. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool. It is recommended that the first time user should have practical instruction in the use of the chainsaw and the protective equipment from an experienced operator and that the initial practice should be cutting logs on a saw horse or cradle. [. . . ] If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an authorized customer service agent. The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a 13 A socket elsewhere. Do not connect the chain saw to mains before it is completely assembled. Ensure chain is in correct running direction by comparing with chain symbol 20. Fit the chain onto the drive sprocket 21 and guide the chain bar 10, so that the fastening bolt 15 and the two guide fins 18 fit into the keyway of the chain bar 10, and that the chain tensioning peg 16 fits into the respective hole of the chain bar 10. It is important to use only the recommended biodegradable oil to avoid damage to the chain saw. The kickback brake is a safety mechanism activated through the front hand guard 5, when kickback occurs. The following function check should be carried out at regular intervals. To deactivate the kickback brake, release On/Off switch 2 and pull hand guard 5 backwards (position ). Before Cutting Before and periodically during cutting check as follows: ­ Is the chain saw in a fail-safe condition?Check oil level gauge 26 prior to starting and regularly during operation. Further protective equipment for head, hand, legs and feet is recommend. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental contact with saw chain. D Kickback Kickback is the sudden backward/upward motion of the chain saw, occuring when the chain (at the tip of the chain bar) comes in contact with a log or wood, or when the chain becomes jammed. When kickback occurs the chainsaw reacts unpredicably and can cause severe injuries to the operator or bystanders. Particular attention must be given when sawing sidewards, slanted or during length cuts, as the gripping teeth 11 usually can not be applied. The voltage of the power source must agree with the value given on the nameplate of the machine. Press the lock-off button 3, then fully press the On/ Off switch 2 and hold in this position. Do not stop chain saw after sawing by activating the front hand guard (kickback brake). ­ Never work with a loose, widely stretched or the heavily worn out chain. Ensure power cord is located to the rear, away from the chain and wood and so postioned that it will not be caught on branches or the like during cutting. F The chain must be running at full speed before it makes contact with the wood. [. . . ] Have your chain sharpened professionally at your Bosch approved service agent or sharpen the chain yourself using the Bosch sharpening kit or a Dremel power tool with the appropriate grinder (1453), both available at your Bosch approved service agent. Proper functioning of the automatic oiler can be checked by running the chain saw and pointing the tip of the chain bar towards a piece of cardboard or paper on the ground. If there is no oil pattern, despite a full oil reservoir, see "Fault Finding" or contact your Bosch approved service agent. Clean the moulded plastic housing of the chain saw using a soft brush and clean cloth. [. . . ]
