Battery; Occasional Maintenance; Chain Drive Sprocket; Maintenance Of The Toothed Chain - Stiga Sps 100 Li 20 S Gebrauchsanweisung

• Always clean the machine after use with a damp
cloth dipped in neutral detergent.
• Remove all traces of humidity using a soft damp
cloth. Humidity can generate risks of electric
shocks.
• Do not use aggressive detergents or solvents to
clean the plastic parts or hand grips.
• Do not spray water onto the motor and electrical
components and prevent them from getting wet.
• To avoid overheating and damage to the motor
or the battery, always keep the cooling air vents
clean and free of debris.
7.5.2 Cleaning the chain
Remove any traces of sawdust or oil deposits from
the chain every time it is used.
If there is excessive dirt or resin build-up,
disassemble the chain and place it in a container
with a specific cleanser for a few hours. Then
rinse it with clean water and treat it with a suitable
anticorrosive spray, before reassembling on the
machine.

7.6 BATTERY

7.6.1 Battery power reserve
Battery autonomy is mainly influenced by:
a. environmental factors, that cause higher
energy requirements:
– cutting trees and branches that are too thick.
b. operator behaviour that should be avoided:
– switching the machine on and off frequently
whilst working;
– adopting a cutting technique that is unsuitable
for the work to be performed (par. 6.5).
To optimise battery power reserve it is always
recommended to:
• cut wood when dry;
• use the most appropriate technique for the work
to be performed.
If the need arises to use the machine for sessions
which exceed the capability of a standard battery,
it is possible to:
• purchase a second standard battery to
immediately replace the discharged battery,
without compromising
operations.

7.6.2 Battery removal and recharging
1. Press the lock push-button placed in the
battery and remove the battery (Fig. 19) .
2. Fit the battery in the charging dock supplied
(Fig. 22. A) and connect the battery charger
(Fig. 22. B) to a mains power socket with
voltage matching the one indicated on the
rating plate.
3. Fully charge the battery according to the
instructions in the battery/battery charger
booklet.
NOTE The battery is equipped with a guard
that inhibits recharging if the environmental
temperature is not between 4~40°C.
NOTE The battery can be recharged at any
time, even partially, with no risk of damaging it.
7.6.3 Refitting the battery on the machine
When recharging is completed:
1. Remove the battery from the charging dock
and disconnect the battery charger from the
electrical outlet (Fig. 23).
2. Insert the battery (Fig. 10.H) into its housing
on the machine.
3. Push down the battery all the way until
you hear a " click" that locks it in place and
guarantees the electrical contact

8. OCCASIONAL MAINTENANCE

8.1 CHAIN DRIVE SPROCKET

Regularly check the condition of the sprocket
with your local dealer and replace it when wear
exceeds the accepted limits.
Do not mount a new chain with a worn
sprocket or vice-versa.
8.2 MAINTENANCE OF THE
TOOTHED CHAIN
To ensure that the chainsaw works safely
and efficiently, it is essential that the cutting
means are well-sharpened.
Always wear heavy duty gloves when
handling the bar and chain.
Chain sharpening is necessary when:
– The sawdust looks like dust.
– Cutting becomes more difficult.
