User manual BOSCH AKE 35 S

[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] Products sold in GB only: Your chain saw is fitted with an approved 13 A (BS 1363/A) electric plug and is protected by a 13 A fuse (ASTA Approved to BS 1362). 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. This should be done by using one hand to raise the chain against the weight of the machine. Never operate the chain saw without chain oil or at an empty oil tank level, as this will result in extensive damage to the product. Therefore, the chain is automatically oiled during operation via the oil outlet 18. Filling oil tank: ­ Set chain saw on any suitable surface with oil filler cap 4 facing upward. ­ Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, refit oil filler cap 4 and tighten. Important: To allow venting of the oil reservoir, small breather channels are provided between the oil filler cap, to prevent leakage ensure machine is left in a horizontal position (oil filler cap 4 uppermost) when not in use. It is important to use only the recommended biodegradable oil to avoid damage to the chain saw. The voltage of the power source must agree with the value given on the nameplate of the machine. For switching on 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). 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. ­ 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. Use the metal gripping teeth 11 to secure the saw onto the wood before starting to cut. Use the gripping teeth as a leverage point "X" while cutting. Reset the gripping teeth at a lower point when sawing thicker logs by pulling the chain saw slightly backwards until the gripping teeth release, and reposition at lower level to continue sawing. Do not force the chain while cutting, let the chain do the work, using the gripping teeth 11 to apply minimal leverage pressure. [. . . ] Note: To ensure long and reliable service, carry out the following maintenance regularly. Regularly check for obvious defects such as loose, dislodged or damaged chain and chain bar, loose fixings and worn or damaged components. Carry out necessary maintenance or repairs before using the chain saw. If the chain saw should happen to fail despite the care taken in manufacturing and testing, repair should be carried out by an authorized customer service agent. [. . . ]
