Causes And Operator Prevention Of; Kick-Back; Before The First Use; Contents Of Packing - Batavia BT–NXS002 Bedienungsanleitung

English
Proper handling of the saw will reduce
the likelihood of accidental contact with
the moving saw chain.
h. Follow instructions for lubricating,
chain tensioning and changing the bar
and chain. Improperly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kick-back.
i. Cut wood only. Do not use saw for
purposes not intended. For example:
do not use saw for cutting metal, plas-
tic, masonry or non-wood building
materials. Use of the saw for opera-
tions different than intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
j. This saw is not intended for tree fell-
ing. Use of the saw for operations dif-
ferent than intended could result in
serious injury to the operator or
bystanders.
4. Causes and operator prevention
of kick-back
a. Kick-back may occur when the nose or
tip of the guide bar touches an object,
or when the wood closes in and pinches
the saw chain in the cut.
b. Tip contact in some cases may cause a
sudden reverse reaction, kicking the
guide bar up and back towards the
operator.
c. Pinching the saw chain along the top of
the guide bar may push the guide bar
rapidly back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you
to lose control of the saw which could
result in serious personal injury. Do not
rely exclusively upon the safety devices
built into your saw. As a saw user, you
should take several steps to keep your
cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
d. (See Fig. B). Kick-back is the result of
saw misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below:
6
• Maintain a firm grip, with thumb and
fingers encircling the saw handle and
position your body and arm to allow you
to resist kick-back forces. Kick-back
forces can be controlled by the operator,
if proper precautions are taken. Do not
let go of the saw.
• Only use replacement guide bars and
saw chains specified by the manufac-
turer. Incorrect replacement guide bars
and saw chains may cause chain break-
age and/or kick-back.
• Follow the manufacturer's sharpening
and maintenance instructions for the
saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge
height can lead to increased kick-back.

5. Before the first use

Remove the machine and all accessories
from the package. Keep the packaging
materials out of the reach of small children.
There is a danger of suffocation!

6. Contents of packing

1× Nexxsaw
1× Bar protector
1× L screwdriver
1× Instruction manual

7. Intended use

• The Nexxsaw has been exclusively
designed for cutting branches. The saw
is not intended for continuous commer-
cial use.
• The intended use also includes an opera-
tion following the operating instructions.
• In conjunction with the extension handle,
the Nexxsaw can be used as a pruner for
cutting branches.
• Any use beyond these parameters (differ-
ent media, applying force) or any
changes (reconstruction, no original
accessory) can lead to serious risks and
is regarded as use that is contrary to the
intended purpose.

8. Use

Mounting the saw chain
8.1
(See Fig. C, D, E).
Always wear gloves when handling the
saw chain.
a. Unscrew the head screw (3) coun-
ter-clockwise in order to remove the
sprocket cover (2).
b. Remove the guide bar from the machine
and run the saw chain around it.
Please note the running direction of the
saw chain. The saw chain icon is shown
on the cover.
c. Run the saw chain over the sprocket
(16) and replace the guide bar on the
chain adjusting screw pin (17).
d. Use an oiler to oil the saw chain and the
sprocket.
e. Slightly tighten the saw chain with the
chain adjusting screw (7). Use the
included adjustment key (11) to tighten
the screw. For tightening, turn the screw
clockwise.
f. Re-tighten the sprocket cover (2) with
the head screw (3) on the housing.
Chain lubricating oil
8.2
• Only use commercially available, biode-
gradable chain oils.
• Do not use engine oil, waste oil or other
mineral oils.
• If the saw makes a rattling noise, the
chain must be lubricated.
Adjusting saw chain tension
8.3
(See Fig. C).
CAUTION: Do not tighten the saw chain too
much. Excessively high tension of saw
chain may cause breakage of saw chain,
wear of the guide bar and breakage of the
sprocket.
CAUTION: A chain which is too loose can
jump off the guide bar.
The saw chain may become loose after use.
From time to time check the saw chain
tension, certainly before each use.
a. Remove the battery.
b. Loosen the head screw (3) a bit to
loosen the sprocket cover lightly.
c. Adjust the chain tension. Turn the chain
head screw (7) clockwise to tighten,
English
turn it counter-clockwise to loosen.
Tighten the saw chain so that the gap
between the centre of the lower side of
the guide bar and the saw chain
becomes approximately 3 – 4 mm.
d. Tighten the head screw (3) to secure
the sprocket cover.
Switching ON and OFF
8.4
The use of the Nexxsaw without lubricating
the chain with chain oil will damage the saw
chain and the guide bar.
a. Insert the battery into the battery
recess.
b. Hold the Nexxsaw firmly and securely
by the handgrip.
c. To switch on the Nexxsaw, first press
the safety switch (1).
d. Then press the ON/OFF switch (10).
e. To switch off the saw, release the ON/
OFF switch.

Break-in time for new saw chains

8.5
a. Remove the battery and adjust the
chain tension.
b. Switch on the Nexxsaw and leave the
motor running idle for approx. 5
minutes.
c. Remove the battery and check the
chain tension again. If necessary,
re-tighten the chain.
d. Afterwards make only easy cuts for
approx. 30 minutes. Always ensure
sufficient lubrication of the saw chain!
Only use the Nexxsaw for heavier cuts
and greater cutting depths after the
running-in period has expired.
• Use only a sharp saw chain. A blunt saw
chain can jam more easily. Check the
chain tension more frequently when
working with a new saw chain, as the
chain stretches more at first.
• The service life of a saw chain depends
on sufficient lubrication and the correct
tension.
• During operation, the chain heats up and
re-tensioning may be necessary. Relax
the chain after work so that it is not too
tight the next time the cold machine is
used.
