Transporting The Chainsaw; Before Starting Up; Tensioning The Saw Chain - Einhell Royal KSE 2040 WK Bedienungsanleitung

Anl KSE 2040 WK SPK1 08.09.2005
In order to prevent kick-back, please follow these
safety instructions:
Never start cutting with the tip of the chain bar!
Always keep a close eye on the tip of the chain
bar!
Never cut with the tip of the chain bar! Be
careful, when continuing cuts you are already
working on!
Always start cuts with the chainsaw already run-
ning!
Make sure that the saw chain is always properly
sharpened.
Never cut through more than one branch at a
time! When lopping off branches, be careful not
to touch any other branches.
When cross-cutting, pay attention to trunks stan-
ding very close to each other. If possible use a
sawing trestle.

5. Transporting the chainsaw

Before transporting the chainsaw, always remove the
plug from the power socket and slide the chain guard
over the rail and chain. If several cuts are to be per-
formed with the chainsaw, the saw must be switched
off between cuts.

6. Before starting up

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 lubrica-
tion and the oil gauge are in good working order (see
Fig. 9). When the oil level is approx. 5 mm from the
bottom mark (marked with "Min" in the illustration),
you must top up with oil. When the oil level is above
this mark you can work without worry.
Switch on the chainsaw and hold it above light-col-
ored ground. Be careful not to 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
working correctly. If there are no traces of oil at all,
try cleaning the oil outlet, the upper chain tensioning
borehole and the oil duct.
7. Assembling the chain bar and saw
chain (see Fig. 2/3)
Make sure that the power plug is disconnected
from the power supply!
Important: The front finger guard (1) must always
be in the top (vertical) position.

The chain bar and saw chain are delivered separate-
ly. To assemble, first unscrew the fastening screw (9)
and the screw (15) by turning them counter-clock-
wise and remove the chain wheel cover (8). To pre-
vent injury on the sharp cutting edges, always wear
gloves when assembling, tensioning and checking
the chain. Before assembling the chain bar with
the saw chain, check the cutting direction of the
teeth (see Fig. 2)!
Hold the chain bar (11) vertically with the tip pointing
upwards and put on the saw chain (10), beginning at
the tip of the bar. Then assemble the chain bar
with the chain tensioner (A) and saw chain as fol-
lows: Place the chain bar with the saw chain on the
bar pin (B) so that the chain tensioner (A) faces out-
wards. Place the saw chain round the chain wheel
(C). Reattach the chain wheel cover (8) and gently
tighten the fastening screw (9).

8. Tensioning the saw chain

Always pull out the power plug before doing any
work on the machine!
Wear safety gloves!
Make sure that the saw chain (10) is inside the guide
groove of the chain bar (11)! You can now tension
the chain correctly by turning the chain tensioning
screw (7) anticlockwise (turning it clockwise may
loosen the chain). Then tighten the fixing screw (9)
and insert the screw (15). Check the chain tension
again (see Fig. 10). Do not tension the saw chain
too tightly. When cold, it should be possible to lift
the chain in the middle of the chain bar approx. 3
mm. When warm, the saw chain will expand and
slacken. There is a danger of the saw chain jumping
off the rail altogether. Retension if necessary. If the
saw chain is retensioned when hot, it must be loos-
ened again when the sawing work has been complet-
ed. Otherwise, the contraction which takes place as
the chain cools would result in excessively high ten-
sion. A new saw chain requires a running-in period of
approx. 5 minutes. Chain lubrication is very important
at this stage. After running in, check the chain ten-
sion and retension if necessary.
9. Filling with chain oil (see Fig. 9)
To prevent dirt getting inside the tank, clean the oil
tank cap before opening. Check the contents of the
oil tank by checking the oil gauge during sawing
work. Close the oil tank cap tightly and wipe away
any spills.
