Attachment And Operation; Initial Operation - Zgonc YGL N.G. 2400 Originalbetriebsanleitung

m Warning:
• The vibration emission value can vary from the
specified value during the actual use of the elec-
tric tool, depending on the type and the manner in
which the electric tool is used;
• Try to minimise stress from vibrations as low as
possible. Some examples of means for reducing the
vibration stress are wearing gloves while using the
tool and limiting work time. In the process all parts
of the operating cycle must be taken into account
(such as times in which the electric tool is switched
off or time in which it is switched on, but is not run-
ning under a load).

7. Attachment and operation

m Warning!
Always wear safety goggles, ear muffs, pro-
tective gloves and heavy-duty
Use the saw only with approved extension cables with
the prescribed insulation and connections designed
for outdoor use (approved rubber-sheathed cables)
which fit the chainsaw plug.
The chain saw is equipped with safety switches, re-
quiring the use of both hand. The chainsaw works only
when one hand is pushing the button 11 and 13 at the
same time. If the chainsaw does not run, the chain
brake must be released at the front finger guard (3).
Be sure to read the sections "Chain brake" and " Re-
leasing the chain brake " on this point.
To switch on:
• Release the chain brake (3), push in the lock (11)
and press the power switch (13).
• Place the lowest claw (Fig 2, J) on the wood . Raise
the chain saw by the rear grip (1 ) and saw into the
wood. Move the chain saw back a little and place
the claw further down.
• Be careful when sawing splintered wood as pieces
of wood may be ripped off
m Warning!
After switching on, the chainsaw will run immediately
at high speed .
To switch off
• Release either the ON/OFF switch (13) on the rear
grip.
• The release of ON/OFF switch results the stop of
the chainsaw within 1sec., and heavy sparkling.
This is normal and safe for the proper operation of
the chainsaw.
• After working with the chainsaw, you should always:
Clean the saw chain and guide bar and replace the
chain guard.
• If the chain brake is activated the chainsam will be
deactivated immediately.

Explanation of the Operation/Overload indicator
(Fig. 2,18):
Green LED:
• The green LED comes on when the device is in use.
Red LED:
• The red LED comes on if the device is overloaded.
It does not go out until the device is switched off and
back on again.

8. Initial operation

The voltage and current supply must comply with the
ratings on the type plate.
Before commencing work, always check that the
chainsaw works properly and is safe to operate.
Check also that the chain lubrication and the oil gauge
are in good working order (see Fig.4). When the oil
lever is approx. 5 mm from the bottom mark, you must
top up with oil. When the oil level is higher you can
work without worry..
• Switch on the chain saw and hold it above the
ground. Be careful not allow the chainsaw to touch
the ground. For safety reasons it is best to keep a
clearance of at least 20 cm. If you now see growing
traces of oil, the chain lubrication system is work-
ing correctly. If there are no traces of oil at all, try
cleaning the oil outlet (Fig 2, C), the upper chain
tensioning borehole (Fig 3, e) and the oil duct, or
contact your Customer Service. (Be sure to read the
section "Filling in chain oil and chain lubrication" on
this point).
• Check the chain tension and retention, if necessary
(see the section "Tensioning the saw chain" on this
point).
• Make sure the chain brake is working properly (see
also the section "Releasing the chain brake").
Assembly
Fitting the guide bar and chain (Fig 1, 2, 3)
m Warning!: If the chain saw is already connected to
the power supply: Pull the plug from the socket outlet.
Wear protective gloves whenever doing any work on
the saw chain.
Important: The front finger guard (3) must always be in
the top (vertical) position (Fig. 5).
The guide bar and saw chain are supplied separately.
To assemble, first unscrew the lock nut (SDS-sys-
tem/5) and remove the guide bar cover (6). The guide
bolt (17) must be in the centre of the guide.
If necessary, adjust the chain tensioning with the
chain wheel (Fig.3, 5a).
m Warning! To prevent injury on the sharp cutting
edges, always wear gloves when assembling, ten-
sioning and checking the chain.
Before assembling the guide bar with the saw chain,
check the cutting direction of the teeth!
The running direction is marked with an arrow on the
cover (6). To determine the direction of cut, it may be
necessary to turn over the saw chain (4).
