Maintenance And Servicing; In The Case Of Technical Problems; Repair Service - Ikra IECS 1835 Gebrauchsanweisung

When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill
side of the log, as illustrated in Figure 17. When "cutting
through", to maintain complete control release the cutting
pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip
on the chain saw handles. Don't let the chain contact the
ground. After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain
to stop before you move the chain saw. Always stop the
motor before moving from tree to tree.
f) Spiked bumper (Fig. 18)
• Dig the spiked bumper (16) into the log and use it as
a pivot. Cut with an arched motion to make the bar
penetrate the wood.
• Repeat several times if necessary, changing the point
where you plant the spiked bumper.
g) Cutting a log to length on a sawhorse (Fig. 18)
The log is lying on the sawhorse as illustrated in fig. 18.
1. Hold the saw to the right of your body and tightly in
both hands.
2. Keep your left arm as straight as possible.
3. Distribute your body weight over both feet.
The device must be used as intended. Hold the saw with
both hands and at a sufficient distance from your body
when sawing.
The saw must run at full speed before starting the sawing
process. The spiked bumper (16) must be used when cut-
ting. This serves as a lever and a support when sawing.

Maintenance and Servicing

Always withdraw the plug when carrying out
maintenance and servicing.
• Always remove wood shavings and oil from your chain
saw after use. Ensure in particular that the motor ven-
tilation slits for cooling the motor in the housing of the
chain saw is free (danger of overheating).
• If the saw chain is particularly dirty, e.g. in case of
gumming with resin, remove the chain and clean it.
Place the chain for a few hours in a vessel containing
chainsaw cleaner. There-after clean the chain with
clear water. If the chain is not used again immediately,
it must be treated with service spray or a customary
anticorrosion-spray.
• Only in case of use of biological oil: As some biological
oils may tend to encrust after a time, the oiling system
should be rinsed thoroughly before storing the chain
saw for a longer period. Therefore, please fill half of the
oil reservoir (about 100 ml) with chainsaw cleaner and
close it as usual. Then switch on the chainsaw - without
bar and chain being mounted - and keep it running until
the total rinsing liquid has evaporated through the oil
opening of the chain saw. Before using the chain saw
again, it is absolutely necessary to refill the oil reservoir.
• Do not store the saw outdoors or in damp and moist
areas.
• Check all the chain saw parts, in particular the chain,
bar and sprocket, of wear after every use.
• Ensure that the chain tension is correct. If the chain
is too loose, it may come off during use and lead to
injuries. The chain must be replaced immediately if it is
damaged. The cutting teeth must be at least 4 mm long.

vice; the following therefore applies:
- Do not carry out any maintenance tasks that are not
described in these instructions. We cannot accept any
liability for accidents and damage caused by unau-
thorised repair attempts, incorrect use or misuse.
Check whether the current socket is live. Check
whether the power cable is undamaged. If neither
case applies, take the chainsaw to a specialised work-
shop or the works after-sales service.
Check position of handguard (see fig. 9). Chain only
runs if handguard brake is released.
Motor or carbon brushes damaged. Take the chainsaw
to a specialised work-shop or the works after-sales
service.
Check the oil level. Clean the oil flow openings in
the bar (see also the corresponding hints of "Main-
tenance and servicing). If this is not successful, take
the chainsaw to a specialised work-shop or the works
after-sales service.
Attention: Any maintenance or repair work go-
ing beyond that described in these Operating
Instructions may only be carried out by author-
ised persons or the works after-sales service.
Attention: If the power supply lead of this
device shows any defects, the lead must be
replaced by an authorized repair shop only
or through the manufacturer's own service
personnel, as this work requires special tools.
