User manual BOSCH AKE 40-18 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. [. . . ] Fit the chain onto the drive sprocket 21 and guide the chain bar 11, so that the fastening bolt 17 and the two guide fins 18 fit into the keyway of the chain bar 11. 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 19. 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 and the strainer, 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. 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. The voltage of the power source must agree with the value given on the nameplate of the machine. switching On and Off Hold chain saw as described in "Cutting". 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). Particular attention must be given when sawing sidewards, slanted or during length cuts, as the gripping teeth 12 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 12 to secure the saw onto the wood before starting to cut. [. . . ] Clean the moulded plastic housing of the chain saw using a soft brush and clean cloth. Remove and brush clean the cover plate 15, chain and chain bar after 1 to 3 hours of use. Clean the area under the cover plate 15, the drive sprocket 21 and chain bar assembly using a soft brush. J If the chain tensioning mechanism becomes difficult to operate, dismantle the protective lid 29 from inside the cover plate 15. [. . . ]
