3. Carefully pour the specifically designed oil into the
EN
tank until reaching the bottom of the filter neck.
4. Wipe off any excessive oil and replace the cap.
NOTICE:
With upright position, oil should fill the inspection
window. When the oil is no longer visible in the inspection
window, stop use immediately and refill.
CLEANING
◾
After each use, clean debris from the chain and guide
bar with a soft brush. Wipe the chain saw surface with
a clean cloth moistened with a mild soap solution.
◾
Remove the side cover, and then use a soft brush to
remove debris from the guide bar, saw chain, sprocket
and side cover.
◾
Always clean out wood chips, saw dust, and dirt from
the guide bar groove when replacing the saw chain.
GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE
When the guide bar shows signs of wear, disassemble
it from the chain saw power head and reverse it for
reassembly (Fig. Q), in which case it will distribute the
wear for maximum bar life.
The bar should be cleaned every day of use and checked
for wear and damage. Feathering or burring of the bar
rails is a normal process of bar wear. Such faults should
be smoothed with a file as soon as they occur. A bar with
any of the following faults should be replaced.
◾
Wear inside the bar rails which permits the chain to lay
over sideways.
◾
Bent guide bar.
◾
Cracked or broken rails.
◾
Spread rails.
In addition, the guide bar has a sprocket at its tip (Fig. R-1).
The sprocket must be lubricated weekly with a grease syringe
to extend the guide bar life (Fig. S). Use a grease syringe to
lubricate weekly with chain oil by means of the lubricating hole
(Fig. R-2). Turn the guide bar and check that the lubrication
holes and chain groove are free from impurities.
CHAIN MAINTENANCE
Use only low-kickback chains on this saw. This fast
cutting chain will provide kickback reduction when
properly maintained.
A properly sharpened saw chain cuts through wood
effortlessly, even with very little pressure. Never use a
dull or damaged saw chain. A dull saw chain cutter leads
to increased physical strain, increased vibration load,
unsatisfactory cutting results, and increased wear.
For smooth and fast cutting, the chain needs to be
10
CORDLESS CHAIN SAW — CS1800E
maintained properly. The chain requires sharpening when
the wood chips are small and powdery, the chain must be
forced through the wood during cutting, or the chain cuts
to one side. During maintenance of your chain, consider
the following:
◾
Improper filing angle of the side plate can increase the
risk of a severe kickback.
◾
Depth gauge clearance. Too low increases the potential
for kickback. Not low enough decreases cutting ability.
◾
If cutter teeth have hit hard objects, such as nails and
stones, or have been abraded by mud or sand on the
wood, have the chain sharpened by a qualified service
technician.
TRANSPORTING AND STORING
◾
Do not store or transport the chain saw when it is
running. Always remove the battery pack before
storing or transporting.
◾
Always place the guide bar sheath on the guide bar
and chain before storing or transporting the chain saw.
Use caution to avoid the sharp teeth of the chain.
◾
Clean the chain saw thoroughly before storing. Store
the chain saw indoors, in a dry place that is locked
and/or inaccessible to children.
◾
Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden
chemicals and de-icing salts.
