Parkside PBKS 53 A1 Bedienungs- Und Sicherheitshinweise Seite 16

• Keep all protective equipment, air vents and the engine hous-
ing as free of dust and dirt as possible. Blow it out with low-
pressure compressed air.
• Clean the appliance regularly with a damp cloth and a mild
detergent. Make sure that no water can penetrate into the
interior of the appliance.
Cleaning the air filter
Contaminated air filters reduce the engine output due to low air
supply to the carburettor.
Regular inspection is essential. The air filter (33) must be in-
spected regularly and cleaned if necessary.
The air filter (33) must be checked more frequently if the air
is dusty.
• Remove the cap for the air filter cover (5) by turning it in an
anticlockwise direction.
• Remove the air filter cover (3).
• Remove the air filter (33).
• Clean the air filter (33) by tapping or blowing it out (with
compressed air).
Assembly is done in the reverse order.
m CAUTION!
Never clean the air filter (33) with petrol or flammable solvents.
Cleaning the chain drive
m WARNING!
Risk of injury!
Always wear protective gloves when handling the saw chain
(17). There is a danger of injury from the sharp cutting teeth!
NOTE
Clean the chain drive after each use.
• Place the chainsaw on a level and stable surface.
• Pull the front hand guard (1) backwards as far as the stop to
release the chain brake (see fig. D).
• Remove the two locking nuts (20) using the spark plug span-
ner (31).
• Remove the sprocket cover (22).
• Carefully remove the saw chain (17) from the guide rail (16)
and the chain sprocket (26).
• Remove the guide rail (16). Clean it with a brush.
• Now clean the entire chain drive area and the saw blade
cover (22) with a brush or by blowing it out with compressed
air.
Assembly is done in the reverse order.
Maintaining the spark plug
• Pull off the spark plug connector (34).
• Remove the spark plug using the enclosed spark plug span-
ner (31).
• Assembly is done in the reverse order.
Electrode gap = 0.6 mm (distance between the electrodes be-
tween which the ignition spark is generated). Check the spark
plug for contamination after the first 10 hours of operation and
clean it with a copper wire brush if required.
12 GB
Afterwards, service the spark plug after every 50 hours of op-
eration..
Maintaining the chain lubrication
• See the section "Checking and adjusting the chain lubrication".
Maintaining the carburettor settings
• If the saw chain (17) moves when the engine is idling or the
engine goes out when you release the throttle, you need to
adjust the carburettor.
NOTE
Have the carburettor adjustment (e.g. adjusting the idling
speed) carried out by qualified specialists only to prevent en-
gine damage.
Maintaining the guide rail
• Remove any remaining burrs on the edge of the rail using a
metal file.
• Clean the guide rail (16) groove using a brush or with
compressed air. Replace the guide rail (16) as soon as the
groove is worn.
• Turn the guide rail (16) after every use to ensure even wear.
• Check that the sprocket at the tip of the guide rail (16) moves
freely. Lubricate it if necessary with a little bearing oil.
Fitting the guide rail and tensioning the saw chain
m WARNING!
Always switch the engine off before fitting parts.
m WARNING!
Risk of injury!
Always wear protective gloves when handling the saw chain
(17). There is a danger of injury from the sharp cutting teeth!
NOTE
A new saw chain (17) stretches and must be tightened more
regularly. Check the chain tension regularly after every cut and
adjust this as required.
Depending on wear, the guide rail (16) can be turned.
• Place the chainsaw on a level and stable surface.
• Pull the front hand guard (1) backwards as far as the stop to
release the chain brake (see fig. D).
• Remove the two locking nuts (20) using the spark plug span-
ner (31).
• Remove the sprocket cover (22).
• Push the slotted hole of the guide rail (16) over the two pro-
truding bolts.
• Lay the saw chain (17) over the teeth of the chain sprocket
(26). Guide the saw chain (17) passgenau in der auf der
Führungsschiene (16) precisely in the direction indicated on
the guide rail. There is a guide wheel at the tip of the guide
rail (16) in whose teeth the saw chain (17) must be laid.
• Lightly pull the guide rail (16)to pre-stress the saw chain (17).
• Put the sprocket cover (22) back on. Make sure that the chain
tensioner pin (23) on the inside fits into the appropriate hole
(25) on the guide rail (16). Adjust the chain-tensioner screw
(21) as required using the flat-head screwdriver (31).
