Initial Operation; Working Instructions - Scheppach CSE2700 Original Bedienungsanleitung

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.
• Install the chain cover (6) on top and carefully se-
cure it 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 lock nut/SDS system (5) clockwise (fig. 3)
until the saw chain is properly 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 alto-
gether. 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 impor-
tant at this stage. After running in, check chain ten-
sion 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 work-
ing 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. (Before doing this,
please read the relevant instructions in the „Top up
chain lubricant" section).

• 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 al-
ways: Clean the saw chain and guide bar and re-
place the chain guard.
• If the chain brake is activated the chainsaw will be
deactivated immediately.

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 per-
formed with the chain saw, the saw must be switched
off between cuts.
Securing the extension lead
Only use extension leads suitable for outdoor use.
The cross section of the cable (max. length of exten-
sion cord: 75 m) must be at least 2,5 mm². secure the
chainsaw flex to the extension lead by inserting the
extension lead into the strain relief gap of the housing
(Fig. M).Extension leads longer than 30 m will reduce
the performance of the chainsaw.
