Tensioning The Saw Chain - Parkside Performance Ppksa 40-Li B2 Originalbetriebsanleitung

Note that the saw can re-oil.
Please note that the saw re-oils after use
and oil may leak out if it is stored on its
side or on the head. This is a normal
process due to the necessary ventilation
opening on the upper edge of the tank and
does not constitute a reason for complaint.
As each saw is checked during production
and­tested­with­oil,­a­small­residue­may­
be­in­the­tank­despite­draining,­which­may­
slightly dirty the housing with oil in transit.
Please clean the housing with a cloth.
Prior­to­changing­the­chain,­the­nut­of­the­
guide rail must be cleaned of dirt because
dirt deposits available can cause the chain
to break out of the rail. The deposits can
also absorb the chain oil. So the conse-
quence would be that the chain oil would
not or only a small part of it would reach
the underside of the rail and the lubrication
would be reduced.

Tensioning the saw chain

Regularly tightening the saw chain pro-
vides safety for the user and reduces and/
or prevents wear and chain damages.
Before­the­start­of­work­and­in­approx.­10­
minute­intervals,­we­recommend­the­user­to­
examine­the­chain­tension­and­correct­it,­if­
necessary.
The chain warms up when working with
the­saw­and­thus­expands­slightly.­These­
"expansions"­can­be­expected­especially­
from newer chains.
Do not re-tighten or change the
chain when it is hot because it
shrinks slightly once it has cooled
down.­In­case­of­non-observance,­this­can­
lead to damages on the guide rail or the
engine because now the chain is too taut
on the blade. Chain tension and chain lu-
brication­have­a­significant­impact­on­the­
service life of the chain.
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
with­9­N­(approx.­1­kg),­the­gap­between­
the saw chain and the guide rail may not
be more than 2 mm.
