Filling With Fuel - Scheppach P-MGB5-1 Anleitung

• Fit the chain wheel cover
Important! Do not fully tighten the fastening screw until after you have adjusted the chain tension
(see section 7.1).
7.1 Tensioning the chain (Fig. 45-48)
Important! Always pull out the spark boot plug before performing any checks or adjustments.
• Undo the fastening screw (Item I) of the chain wheel cover by a few turns (Fig. 45).
• Adjust the chain tension with the chain tensioning screw (Fig. 47/ Item K). Turning the screw clock-
wise increases the chain tension, turning it counterclockwise decreases the chain tension. The chain
is correctly tensioned if it can be raised by around 2 mm in the middle of the cutter bar (Fig. 46).
• Tighten the fixing screw of the chain wheel cover (Fig. 48).
• Important! All the chain links must lie properly in the guide groove of the cutter bar.
Notes on tensioning the chain:
The chain must be properly tensioned to ensure safe operation. When the saw chain can be raised
by around 2 mm in the middle of the cutter bar, you know that the chain tension is ideal. Dur-
ing cutting, the temperature of the chain rises and its length changes. It is important therefore to
check the chain tension at least every 10 minutes and to adjust it again as required. This applies
in particular to new saw chains. When you have fi nished working, slacken the chain again as it
will shorten when it cools down. This will help to prevent damage to the chain.

Filling with fuel

m Danger of injury! Fuel is explosive!
Turn the motor off and let the machine cool down.
Wear safety gloves.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Make sure you observe the "Safety Instructions" paragraph.
• Only ever refuel the tool outdoors or in sufficiently ventilated rooms.
• Clean around the filling area. Contaminants in the tank will cause operating problems.
• Before refuelling, shake the container with the fuel mixture.
• Carefully open the fuel filler cap (B) so that potential pressure can be release. Fig. 19
• Carefully pour in the fuel mixture to the lower edge of the filler.
• Close the fuel filler cap (B). Ensure the fuel filler cap closes tightly.
• Clean the fuel filler cap and the area around it.
• Check the tank and the fuel line for leaks.
Before starting the motor, remove yourself from the fuelling place by at least three metres.
Draining fuel. Fig. 36
Only ever empty the tank outdoors or in well-ventilated rooms.
Make sure not to spill fuel or chain oil into the soil (environmental protection). Use a proper base.
• Hold a collection container beneath the fuel drain bolt.
• Unscrew the tank cap and remove it.
• Allow the fuel to run out completely.
• Screw the tank cap on firmly by hand.
