Kress KG367E.9 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 14

IMPORTANT: To allow venting of the oil
tank, small breather channels are provided
between the oil filler cap and the strainer,
to prevent leakage, and ensure machine is left in
a horizontal position when not in use.
It is important to use bar and chain lubricant
that is formulated to perform over a wide
temperature range with no dilution required.
This can be found at the location where you
purchased this saw or your local hardware store.
Do not use dirty, used or otherwise contaminated
oils. Damage may occur to the bar or chain.Use
of non approved oil will void the warranty.
Do not swallow. If swallowed, call a physician
immediately. Keep out of reach of children. Store
away from heat or open flame.
CHECKING THE AUTOMATIC OILER
Proper functioning of the automatic oiler can be checked
by running the Chainsaw and pointing the tip of the guide
chain bar towards a piece of cardboard or paper on
the ground. If an increasing oil pattern develops on the
cardboard, the automatic oiler is operating fine. If there
is no oil pattern, despite a full oil reservoir, contact Kress
customer service agent or Kress approved service agent.
CAUTION: Do not touch the ground with
the chain. Ensure safety clearance of
30cm.
OPERATION
14
TO REMOVE OR INSTALL BATTERY PACK (See
EN
Fig. I, J)
Depress the battery pack release button to remove the
battery pack from your tool. After recharging, insert the
battery pack into the battery port. A simple push and
slight pressure will be sufficient until a click is heard.
Check to see if the battery is fully secured.
NOTE: When removing the battery pack, hold it
firmly to avoid dropping and injury.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF (SEE FIG. K)
ATTENTION: Check the battery packs before
using your cordless tool. Only use the battery
pack listed in the accessories section.
For switching on the tool, press the lock-out button, then
fully press the on/off switch and hold in this position. The
lock-out button can now be released.
For switching off, release the on/off switch.
NOTE: The chain brake must be activated in order for the
saw to be switched on.
CHAIN BRAKE LEVER (See Fig. L)
The chain brake lever is a safety mechanism activated
through the front hand guard, when kickback occurs.
Chain stops immediately.
The following function check should be carried out at
regular intervals. Pull the front hand guard towards the
operator (position
activate the chain brake, push front hand guard forwards
(position ).
NOTE: If the saw is unable to start, even though it is
assembled properly and working with fully charged
battery packs, then you should check if the chain brake
lever is in the correct position (position
) to deactivate chain brake. To
).
CUTTING
IMPORTANT: Is the oil tank filled? Check
the Oil Level Window prior to starting and
regularly during operation (See Fig. M). Refill
oil when oil level is low. A full oil tank will last
approx. 12 minutes of cutting depending on
sawing intensity and stops.
Check recent replaced chain tension about every
10 minutes during operation.
(1) Installing the battery pack into the machine.
(2) Make sure section of log to be cut is not laying on the
ground. This will keep the chain from touching the
ground as it cuts through the log.
Touching the ground while the chain is moving is
dangerous and will dull the chain.
(3) Use both hands to grip saw. Always use left hand to
grip front handle and right hand to grip rear handle.
Use a firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap
around saw handles. (See Fig. N)
(4) Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet-shoulder
width apart. Distribute your weight evenly on both
feet.
(5) When ready to make a cut, push the lock-out button
completely in with the right thumb and squeeze the
trigger. This will turn saw on. Releasing the trigger will
turn the saw off. Make sure the saw is running at full
speed before starting a cut.
(6) When starting a cut, slowly place moving chain
against the wood. The wood should be as close to
the saw body as possible. Hold saw firmly in place
to avoid possible bouncing or skating (sideways
movement) of saw.
(7) Guide the saw using light pressure and do not put
excessive force on the saw, letting the saw do its
work. The motor will overload and can burn out. It will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
intended.
(8) Remove the saw from a cut with the saw running
at full speed. Stop the saw by releasing the on/off
switch. Make sure the chain has stopped before
setting the saw down.
(9) Keep practicing on scrap logs in a secure working
area until you are comfortable, using a fluid motion
and a steady cutting rate.
Kickback Safety Devices On This Saw
This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced kickback
Guide Bar. Both items reduce the chance of kickback.
However, kickback can still occur with this saw.
The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.
• Use both hands to grip saw while saw is running. Use
firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around saw
handles.
• Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make sure they
work properly.
• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
• Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
• Stand slightly to the left side of saw. This keeps your
body from being in direct line with chain.
• Do not let Guide Bar nose touch anything when chain
is moving.
• Never try cutting through two logs at same time. Only
cut one log at a time.
• Do not bury the Guide Bar nose or try plunge cut
(boring into wood using guide bar nose).
• Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that may
pinch chain.
• Use extreme caution when reentering a previous cut.
