Initial Operation; Working Instructions - Scheppach CSE2600 Original Bedienungsanleitung

The running direction is marked with an arrow on the
cover (6). To determine the direction of cut, it may be
necessary to turn over the saw chain (4).
Hold the guide bar (7) vertically with the tip pointing
upwards and put on the saw chain (4, beginning at the
tip of the bar.
Then assemble the guide bar with the saw chain as
follows:
• Place the guide bar with the saw chain on the chain
wheel (16) and guide bolt (17).
• Place the saw chain round the chain wheel (16).
Cause the chainsaw to the sprocket and check
whether it is correctly.
• Place the cover (6) on top and tighten gently with
the lock nut (5).
Now the saw chain has to be correctly tensioned.
Tensioning the saw chain
Warning!
Always pull the plug out of the power socket before
doing any work on the chainsaw!
Wear safety gloves!
• Make sure the saw chain (4) is inside the guide
groove of the guide bar (7).
• Turn the knob (Fig. 3/5) clockwise until the saw
chain is correctly tensioned.
• When cold, it should be possible to lift the chain in
the middle of the guide bar approx. 5 mm.
• When warm, the saw chain will expand and slacken
and there is a danger of it jumping off the rail
altogether. Re-tension if necessary.
• If the saw chain is re-tensioned when hot, it must
be loosened again when the sawing work has been
completed.
• Otherwise, the contraction which takes place as
the chain cools would result in excessively high
tension.
• 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
chain tension and re-tension if necessary.

8. Initial operation

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 lubrication and the oil
gauge are in good working order (see Fig. 4). When
the oil lever is approx. 5 mm from the bottom mark,
you must top up with oil. When the oil level is higher
you can work without worry.
• Switch on the chain saw and hold it above the ground.
Be careful not 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
(Fig 2, C) and the oil duct or contact your Customer
Service. (Be sure to read the section "Filling in chain
oil and chain lubrication" on this point).
• Check the chain tension and retention, if necessary
(see the section "Tensioning the saw chain" on this
point).
• Make sure the chain brake is working properly (see
also the section "Releasing the chain brake").
To switch on:
• Release the chain brake (3), push in the lock (11)
and press the power switch (13).
• Place the lowest claw (Fig 2, J) on the wood . Raise
the chain saw by the rear grip (1 ) and saw into the
wood. Move the chain saw back a little and place
the claw further down.
• Be careful when sawing splintered wood as pieces
of wood may be ripped off.
After switching on, the chainsaw will run immediately
at high speed .
To switch off
• Release either the ON/OFF switch (13) on the rear
grip.
• The release of ON/OFF switch results the stop of
the chainsaw within 1sec., and heavy sparkling.
This is normal and safe for the proper operation of
the chainsaw.
• After working with the chainsaw, you should always:
Clean the saw chain and guide bar and replace the
chain guard.
• If the chain brake is activated the chainsam will be
deactivated immediately.

The green LED comes on when the device is in use.

9. Working instructions

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 performed with the chain saw, the saw must be
switched off between cuts.
