Tensioning The Saw Chain; Chain Lubrication; Filling Up With Chain Oil - FLORABEST FKS 2200 D2 Betriebsanleitung

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
and tested with oil, a small residue may
be in the tank despite draining, which may
slightly dirty the housing with oil in transit.
Please clean the housing with a cloth.

Tensioning the saw chain

With a correctly tensioned chain you get
good cutting performance and a longer
life.
An incorrectly tensioned
chain may break or spring
off, leading to danger of
injury. Test the electric saw
before every start and the
chain tension after every
hour of sawing.
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 with 9 N
(approx. 1 kg), the gap between the saw
chain and the guide rail may not be more
than 2 mm.
1. Ensure that the chain brake has
B
been released, that is, that the
chain brake lever (3) is pulled up
against the front grip (8).
2. Unscrew the fastening bolt (14).
3. To tighten the saw, turn the chain
adjustment ring (13) clockwise.
To loosen the tension, turn the
chain adjustment ring anti-clock-
wise.
4. Tighten up the fastening bolt (14)
again.
With a new saw chain, you must
readjust the chain tension after at
least 5 cutting operations.

Chain lubrication

The rail and chain must never be
without oil. If you operate the elec-
tric chainsaw with too little oil, the
cutting performance and the lifetime
of the saw chain is reduced, since
the chain becomes blunt faster. You
can identify a case of too little oil
where smoke development or dis-
coloration of the rail occurs.
As soon as the motor is speeded up, the oil
also flows faster to the chain bar (4).

Filling up with chain oil:

• Check the oil fill level and regularly top
up with oil ( C
270 ml oil.
• Use Parkside bio-oil; this product con-
tains additives that reduce wear and
tear and does not damage the pump
system. bio-oil is available from our
Service-Center.
• If you have no Grizzly bio-oil available,
use chain lubrication oil with low adhe-
sive additive content.
1. Unscrew the oil fill cap (2) and fill
C
up with chain oil.
2. Wipe off any spilled oil and
close the cap again.
