Kress KG367E.9 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 13

This tool may cause hand-arm vibration
syndrome if its use is not adequately managed.
WARNING: To be accurate, an estimation of
exposure level in the actual conditions of use
should also take account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and
when it is running idle but not actually doing the job. This
may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total
working period.
Helping to minimise your vibration and noise exposure
risk.
Always use sharp chisels, drills and blades.
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions
and keep well lubricated (where appropriate).
If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti
vibration and noise accessories.
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool
use across a number of days.
INTENDED USE
The Chainsaw is intended for sawing of trees, tree
trunks, branches, wooden beams, planks, etc. Cuts can
be sawed with or across the grain. This product is not
suitable for sawing mineral materials.
ASSEMBLY
WARNING! Do not install the battery pack
before it has been completely assembled.
Always use gloves when handling the chain.
CHAIN AND GUIDE BAR ASSEMBLY
1. Unpack all parts carefully. Remove the chain cover
by turning the chain tensioning knob in a counter-
clockwise direction. (See Fig. A1)
2. Place the Chainsaw on a solid, level surface.
3. Use only genuine Kress chains or those
recommended for Guide Bar.
4. Slide the chain in the slot around the guide bar.
Ensure the chain is in correct running direction by
comparing it to the chain icon on the guide bar, or
referring to the chain direction symbol found on the
saw body. Ensure the bar tensioning plate is facing
outward. (See Fig. A2)
5. Fit the chain onto the drive sprocket, so that the
fastening bar bolt and the two bar locating tabs on
the bar pad fit into the keyway of the opening on the
guide bar. (See Fig. B1, B2)
6. Assure all parts are seated properly and hold chain
and guide bar in a level position. Make sure the drive
links are fully seated in the drive sprocket (See Fig. C),
avoiding a kink as shown in Fig. D. If kink occurs, pick
up on the chain at the guide bar just ahead of the kink
and then pull the kink out.
NOTE: Chain should rotate freely and be free of
kinks.
7. Fit the chain cover and tighten the chain cover by
turning the chain tensioning knob clockwise until it is
tight. (See Fig. E)
WARNING: The chain is not yet tensioned.
Tensioning the chain applies as described
under "TENSIONING CHAIN". The chain
now needs to be inspected to make sure it is
properly tensioned.
TENSIONING CHAIN (See Fig. F, G)
NOTE: New saw chains will stretch. Check the chain
tension frequently when first used and tighten when the
chain becomes loose around the guide bar.
WARNING:
● Removing the battery pack before adjusting saw
chain tension.
● Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use protective
gloves when handling chain.
● Maintain proper chain tension always. A loose chain
will increase the risk of kickback. A loose chain
may jump out of guide bar groove. This may injure
operator and damage chain. A loose chain will cause
chain, bar, and sprocket to wear rapidly.
1. Place the Chainsaw on any suitable flat surface.
2. Turn the chain tensioning knob clockwise until it is
hand tight.
NOTE: The tension is automatically increased
while the chain tensioning knob is being turned in a
clockwise direction. The built-in ratchet mechanism
prevents the chain tension from loosening.
3. Tilt the saw forward where the guide bar tip is pushed
in a downward direction. This will remove slack from
the chain. Fully tighten the chain tensioning knob by
turning it clockwise. (See Fig. F)
4. Fully tighten the chain tensioning knob by turning it
clockwise.
5. Double check the tension set by the automatic chain
tensioning knob. The correct chain tension is reached
when the chain can be raised approx. Half the
drivelink depth from the guide bar in the center. This
should be done by using one hand to raise the chain
against the weight of the machine. (See Fig. G)
NOTE: The chain is properly tensioned when it can
be lifted off of the Guide Bar and the drivelink is within
the rail of the Guide Bar.
NOTE: The chain will stretch while cutting and lose
proper tension. When the chain becomes loose,
completely unscrew the chain tensioning knob or turn
the knob around three full turns in a counter-clockwise
direction, then retighten the chain tensioning knob to
properly reset the chain tension by repeating Steps
1-5 listed above.
LUBRICATION (See Fig. H)
IMPORTANT: The Chainsaw is not filled
with oil. It is essential to fill with oil before
use. Never operate the Chainsaw without
chain oil or at an empty oil tank level, as this will
result in extensive damage to the product.
NOTE: Chain life and cutting capacity depend
on optimum lubrication. Therefore, the chain is
automatically oiled during operation.
FILLING OIL TANK:
WARNING: Removing the battery pack
before filling the oil tank.
1. Set Chainsaw on any suitable surface with oil filler cap
facing upward.
2. Clean area around the oil filler cap with cloth and
unscrew the cap by turning it counter clockwise.
3. Add bar and chain oil until tank is full.
4. Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, refit oil filler cap
and tighten by turning clockwise until hand tight.
