Cleaning; Oiling The Saw Chain; Sharpening The Saw Chain - Deltafox DG-ECS 1830 Manual Del Usuario

Cleaning

• Clean the machine thoroughly after
every use. In this way, you extend the
life of the machine and avoid accidents.
• Keep the gripping handles free of gas,
oil or grease. Clean the gripping han-
dles, where appropriate, with a moist
cloth soaked in soap. Use no solvents
or gas for cleaning!
• Clean the saw chain after every use.
Use a paint brush or whisk for that.
Do not use any liquids to clean the
chain. After cleaning, oil the chain
lightly with chain oil.
• Clean the ventilation slots and the
surfaces of the machine with a paint
brush, whisk or dry cloth. Do not use
any liquids for cleaning..

Oiling the saw chain

Clean and oil the chain regularly.
In this way, you keep the chain
sharp and get optimum machine
performance. In case of damage
due to inadequate maintenance
of the saw chain, the guarantee
claim is invalid.
Remove the power plug and use
cut-protection gloves when you
are handling the chain or the
chain bar.
• Oil the chain after cleaning, after 10
hours of use or at least once weekly,
depending on which comes first.
• Before oiling, the chain bar must be
cleaned thoroughly, in particular the
teeth of the rail. Use a whisk and a dry
cloth for that.
• Oil the individual chain links with the
aid of an oil suction gun with pinpoint
tip (available in the specialist trade).
Place individual oil drops onto the ar-
ticulated links and onto the tooth tips
of the individual chain links.

Sharpening the saw chain

An incorrectly sharpened saw
chain increases the danger of
spring-back! Use cut-protection
gloves when you are handling the
chain or the chain bar.
A sharp chain guarantees an op-
timal cutting performance. It eats
effortlessly through the wood and
leaves large, long wooden chips.
A saw chain is blunt if you have
to press the cutting equipment
through the wood and the wood-
en chips are very small. In the
case of a very blunt saw chain,
no chip cuttings result at all, only
sawdust.
• The sawing parts of the chain are the
cutting elements, which consist of a
cutting tooth and a depth limiting pro-
jection. The vertical separation distance
between these two determines the
sharpness depth.
• The following values must be noted in
sharpening the cutting teeth:
- Sharp edge angle (30°)
- Breast angle (85°)
- Sharpness depth (0.65 mm)
- Round file diameter (4.0 mm)
