Checking The Clutch - Gardol GMSE 1335 Manual De Instrucciones

2. It must not be possible to move the chain (3)
on the guide rail (2).
Note: The front hand guard (6) must snap into
place in both positions. If you feel strong resis-
tance or if the front hand guard (6) does not snap
into place, do not use the chainsaw. Take your
chainsaw to an authorized service center for
repair.
Dynamic check (engine is started)
1. Place the saw on a fi rm and level surface.
2. Hold the front handle (7) with your left hand.
3. Start the chain saw by following the starting
instructions. (refer to 6.2 and 6.3)
4. Disengage the chain brake (pull the front
hand guard (6) towards the front handle (7)).
(Fig. 5A)
5. Grasp the rear handle (8) with your right
hand.
6. After a brief warmup period, run the engine
at full speed. With the back of your left hand,
push the front hand guard (6) towards the gui-
de rail (2). This will engage the chain brake.
(Fig. 6)
Danger: Engage the chain brake slowly and ca-
refully. Hold the saw fi rmly with both hands, and
make sure you have a good grip. The saw must
not touch any objects.
7. The chain (3) must stop abruptly. Immediately
release the throttle lever (11) when the chain
(3) has come to a stop.
Danger: If the chain (3) does not stop, shut off
the engine and take the saw to an authorized ser-
vice center for repair.

6.1.2 Checking the clutch

Carry out a functional check on the clutch on a re-
gular basis. Test the clutch before the fi rst cut, af-
ter several cuts, after maintenance is done on the
chainsaw and if the chainsaw has been subjected
to strong impact or if it has been dropped.
1. Start the chain saw by following the starting
instructions. (refer to 6.2 and 6.3)
2. Briefl y actuate the throttle lever (11) and re-
lease it to ensure that the throttle valve has
been released and the engine is idling.
3. The chain (3) must stop when the engine is
idling.
The clutch has been designed so that when the
idling speed is increased by a factor of 1.25 no
chain movement can be detected.

Danger: If the chain (3) does not stop, shut off
the engine and take the saw to an authorized ser-
vice center for repair.
Danger: Always engage the chain brake (6) befo-
re you start the engine.
6.2 Starting a cold engine (Fig. 7A-7D)
Fill the tank with an adequate amount of gasoline/
oil mix. (refer to Paragraph 5.3)
1. Set the equipment down on a hard, level sur-
face.
2. Move the On/Off switch (10) to the „I" positi-
on. (Fig. 7A)
3. Press the fuel pump (primer) (Fig. 6/Item 25)
ten times.
4. Pull out the choke lever (13) (Fig. 7B)
Note: Pulling out the choke lever I I (13) opens
the throttle valve slightly and locks it in that posi-
tion. This increases the idle speed, and the saw
starts faster.
5. Hold the saw fi rmly and pull out the starter
handle (9) until you feel it start to resist. Then
sharply pull the starter handle (9) 3 times.
(Fig. 7C/7D)
6. Push in the choke lever (13).
7. Hold the saw fi rmly and pull out the starter
handle (9) until you feel it start to resist. Then
quickly pull the starter handle (9) several
times until the engine starts. (Fig. 7D)
Note: Do not allow the starter handle (9) to snap
back. This may result in damage. Once the engi-
ne has started, allow the saw to warm up for 10
seconds.
Warning: Since the throttle lever is slightly open,
the cutter starts to operate when the engine is
started. Briefl y actuate the throttle lever (11). This
releases the throttle valve and the engine returns
to idle mode. (Fig. 7C)
8. If the engine does not start up after the starter
handle is pulled 8 times, repeat steps 1-7.
Please note: If the engine does not start up even
after several attempts, read the Engine trouble-
shooting section.
Please note: Always pull the starter handle out
straight. If it is pulled out at an angle, friction will
occur on the eyelet. As a result of this friction, the
cable will become frayed and will wear faster. Al-
ways hold onto the starter handle when the cable
