Tensioning The Saw Chain; Switching On/Off - Parkside PBKS 53 B3 Originalbetriebsanleitung

The tank volume and the approved
fuel can be found in the chapter
"Technical data".
For optimal performance, use oil for
air-cooled two-stroke engines.
Illustration
1. Mix petrol and oil in the fuel mixing
bottle (19). Use the scale on the contai-
ner.
First pour petrol into the

fuel mixing bottle (19) up
PETROL
to the line marked "PET-
ROL".
Then pour in oil until you reach the se-
cond mark ("OIL") on the scale at the
top right.
3. Place the device on its side with the
tank cover (7) facing upwards.
4. Unscrew the tank cover (7) and pour
the fuel mixture into the fuel tank. Wipe
fuel residues off the tank cover (7) and
close the tank cover again.

Tensioning the saw chain

Regularly tightening the saw chain provi-
des safety for the user and reduces and/or
prevents wear and chain damage. Before
starting work and at intervals of approx.
10 minute, we recommend the user to
examine the chain tension and correct it if
necessary.
The saw chain warms up when working
with the saw and thus expands slightly.
These „expansions" can be expected espe-
cially from newer saw chains.
Do not re-tension or change the
saw chain when it is hot because it
shrinks slightly once it has cooled down. If
this is not observed it can lead to damage
on the guide rail or the engine because the
saw chain is now too taut on the blade
bar.
Chain tension and chain lubrication have
a significant impact on the service life of
the saw chain.
10 min
from the underside of the blade bar and
cannot be moved around by a gloved
hand. When pulling on the saw chain with
9 N (approx. 1 kg) of force, the saw chain
and blade bar should not be separated by
a distance of more than 2 mm.
Illustration
1. Make sure that the chain brake is re-
leased, i.e. the chain brake lever (12)
is pressed against the front handle (1).
2. Unscrew the two nuts (15) of the spro-
cket cover (13) using the combination
tool (17).
3. To tension the saw chain, turn the small
screw (14) clockwise using the combi-
nation tool (17) .
To loosen the tension, turn the small
screw (14) anticlockwise using the com-
bination tool (17) .
4. Retighten the two nuts (15) of the spro-
cket cover (13) using the combination
tool (17).
The chain tension of a new saw
chain must be readjusted after a
maximum of 5 cuts.

Switching on/off

Do not use the chainsaw near flam-
mable liquids or gases.
