Adjusting The Chain Tension; Starting Up A New Saw Chain - FLORABEST FKS 2200 E3 Originalbetriebsanleitung

• The sawing parts of the chain are the
cutting elements, which consist of a cut-
ting tooth and a depth limiting projec-
tion. The vertical separation distance
between these two determines the
sharpness depth.
• The following values must be noted in
sharpening the cutting teeth:
- Sharp edge angle (30°)
H
- Breast angle (85°)
- Sharpness depth (0.65 mm)
- Round file diameter (4.0 mm)
Deviations from the meas-
urement data of the cutting
geometry can lead to an
increase of the spring-back
slope of the machine. In-
creased danger of accident!
Special tools are necessary for sharpening
the chain, which guarantee that the cutting
edges are sharpened at the correct angle
and to the correct depth. For the inexperi-
enced user of chainsaws, we recommend
to have the saw chain sharpened by a
specialist or a specialist workshop. If you
think yourself capable of sharpening the
chain, you can acquire the special tools in
the specialist trade.
1. Switch the saw off and unplug it
I
from the mains.
2. Remove the saw chain (refer
to the section on operating the
saw). The chain should be well-
tensioned to ensure proper sharp-
ening.
3. For the sharpening, a round file
with 4.0 mm diameter is neces-
sary.

Other diameters damage the
chain and can lead to danger
during work!
4. Sharpen only from the inside to
the outside. Guide the file from
the inner side of the cutting teeth
to the outer side. Lift the file when
you are withdrawing it.
5. Sharpen first the teeth on one
side. Turn the saw around and
sharpen the teeth of the other
side.
6. The chain is worn and must be
replaced by a new saw chain if
only approx. 4 mm of the cutting
teeth is remaining.
7. After the sharpening, all cutting
elements must now be equal in
length and width.
8. After every third sharpening, the
sharpness depth (depth limitation)
must be checked and the height
filed with the aid of a flat file. The
depth limitation should be set back
about 0.65 mm from the cutting
tooth. After the setting back of
depth limitation, round it off a lit-
tle at the front.

Adjusting the chain tension

The adjustment of the chain tension is de-
scribed in the chapter: Starting operation,
tensioning chainsaw.

Starting up a new saw chain

In the case of a new chain, the tensioning
force decreases after some time. Therefore
you must re-tension the chain after the first
5 cuts and at longer intervals after this.
