Operation - Scheppach MGT410 Originalbetriebsanleitung

safe operation. You can tell that the chain tension is
perfect if the saw chain can be lifted by around 2 mm
in the middle of the cutter rail. As the saw chain heats
up during cutting and thus changes in length, check the
chain tension no less than every 10 minutes and adjust
it again as required. This applies in particular to new
saw chains. When you have fi nished working slacken
the chain again, as the chain will shorten when it cools
down. This will prevent the chain from being damaged.
Saw chain lubrication
Caution! Always remove the battery from the device be-
fore inspection and adjustment. Always wear protective
gloves when working on the chainsaw to protect yourself
against injury.
Important! Never operate the chain if it is not lubricated
with saw chain oil. Use of the chainsaw without saw
chain oil or if the oil level is below the viewing window
will result in damage to the chainsaw!
Important! Be aware of the temperature conditions:
different lubricants with completely diff erent viscosities
are required at diff erent ambient temperatures. At lower
temperatures you will need low viscosity oils in order
to achieve a suffi cient lubricating fi m. However, if the
same low viscosity oil is used during the summer it will
become even thinner due to the ambient temperatures
alone, and as a result the lubricating fi lm could break
down, causing the chain to overheat and become dama-
ged. In addition, the chain oil would burn and produce
unnecessary pollutants.
Filling the oil tank (Fig. 9):
• Place the chainsaw on a fl at surface.
• Clean the area around the oil tank cover (Item 23) and
then clean the oil tank cover.
• Fill the tank (Item 22) with saw chain oil. In the pro-
cess, make sure that no dirt enters the tank, as this
could cause the oil nozzle to become blocked.
• Close the oil tank cover (Item 23).
After the chain saw mounting kit has been fi tted and
when the equipment is not being used, slip the cutter
guard (Fig. 1/Item 13) over the mounted cutter bar with
saw chain in order to prevent injuries.
Mounting telescopic tube and attachment (Fig.10)
a) Insert the telescopic tube (8) into the tube (24) and
lock it with the locking telescoping tube 1 (7).
b) Now insert the desired attachment into the telescopic
tube (7) and lock it with the locking telescoping tube 2
(9).
Ensure that the catch button locks in the hole of the
respective tube (Fig.10.2)
The desired attachment can also be mounted without
telescopic tube. see Fig.10.1
Using the shoulder strap
Warning! Never wear the strap diagonally over the
shoulder and chest but only on one shoulder, so you can
remove in case of danger the machine quickly from the
body. Switch off the equipment before you take off the
shoulder strap (risk of injury).
1. Hook the carabiner (5) into the strap holder (25).
(Fig.11)
2. Slip the shoulder strap over your shoulder.
3. Adjust the length of the shoulder strap so that the
strap attachment is at waist level.

Fitting the battery (Fig. 12)
Press the side pushlock button (26) of the battery pack
and push the battery pack into the mount provided.
When the battery pack is positioned as in Fig. 12, make
sure that the pushlock button latches in place! To remo-
ve the battery pack, proceed in reverse order.
Charging the battery (Fig. 13)
By pressing the red button on the battery, status can be
read based on the green lights.
1. Take the battery pack out of the equipment.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that
marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. In-
sert the power plug of the charger (14) into the mains
socket outlet. The light on the power cord turns green.
3. Insert the battery into the charger. Green fl ashing of
light on the charger indicates that the battery is in
charging mode.
4. Depending on the battery charge status lights either 1,
2 or 3 green lights on the battery.
1 green light: battery 1/3 charged
2 green light: Battery 2/3 charged
3 green LED: Battery is fully charged
The battery pack can become a little warm during the
charging. This is normal. If the battery pack fails to
charge, check:
• whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
• whether there is good contact at the charging
contacts.
If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
• the charging unit
• and the battery pack
to our customer service center.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long service,
you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must
recharge the battery pack when you notice that the
power of the cordless equipment drops. Never fully
discharge the battery pack. This will cause it to develop
a defect.

Operation

Please note that the statutory regulations governing noi-
se abatement may diff er from one location to another.
Caution! Always use the shoulder strap when working
with the equipment. Always switch off the equipment
before you take off the shoulder strap. Otherwise there
is a risk of injury.
Put on the shoulder strap as described above, fi t the
required mounting kit and adjust the equipment to suit
your needs.
Switching on/off
Switching on
• Hold the equipment by the handles with both hands
• Push Safety lock-off (Fig.14 / Item 4).
• Switch on the equipment with the On/Off switch (Fig.
14.1/Item 3).
• You can then release the safety lock-off.
Switching off
Release the On/Off switch (Fig. 3/Item 3).
