Narex EPR 35-24, Instructions For Use Manual

Page: 26 / 44

��
Cutting a felling tree
�
First support the trunk so that the section to
be cut off always hangs freely and does not
lie on anything so that the bar cannot jam.
�
If the chain saw does become jammed, switch
it off immediately and withdraw the plug. Use
the wedges to free the bar.
�
Avoid letting the saw chain coming into con-
tact with the earth.
General instructions on working with
a chainsaw
�
Ensure that children and other spectators
keep a safe distance from the working area.
�
Apply little pressure to the machine when
sawing wood. If the chain is keen, it will cut
almost by itself through the wood.
�
If possible, always work with the chainsaw
running at high speed.
�
Never try to continue sawing with a blunt chain.
That causes the motor to overheat and the
loss of your right to claim under guarantee.
Always have a replacement chain at hand.
�
Allow the motor to cool off and make working
breaks.
�
After use always place the chain saw horizon-
tally to avoid oil dripping from the oil reservoir.
�
Always use the chain cover when transporting
the chain saw.
Maintenance and Servicing
Always withdraw the plug when carrying out
maintenance and servicing.
�
Always remove wood shavings and oil from
your chain saw after use. Ensure in particular
that the motor ventilation slits for cooling the
motor in the housing of the chain saw is free
(danger of overheating).
�
If the saw chain is particularly dirty, e.g. in
case of gumming with resin, remove the chain
and clean it. Place the chain for a few hours
in a vessel containing chainsaw cleaner.
There-after clean the chain with clear water.
If the chain is not used again immediately, it
must be treated with service spray or a custo-
mary anticorrosion-spray.
�
Only in case of use of biological oil: As some
biological oils may tend to incrustation after a
time, the oiling system should be rinsed
thoroughly before storing the chain saw for
a longer period. Therefore, please fill half of
the oil reservoir (about 100 ml) with chainsaw
cleaner and close it as usually. Then switch
on the chainsaw – without bar and chain
being mounted – and keep it running until the
total rinsing liquid has evapurated through the
oil opening of the chain saw. Before using the
chain saw again, it is absolutely necessary to
refill the oil reservoir.
�
Do not store the saw outdoors or in damp and
moist areas.
�
Check all the chain saw parts, in particular
the chain, bar and sprocket, of wear after
every use.
�
Ensure that the chain tension is correct. If the
chain is too loose, it may come off during use
and lead to injuries. The chain must be
replaced immediately if it is damaged. The
cutting teeth must be at least 4 mm long.
�
Check the motor housing and power cable
after every use for damage.
If there is any sign of damage, have the chain
saw checked by a specialised workshop or the
works after-sales service.
�
Check the oil level and lubrication of your chain
saw after every use. Insufficient lubrication
leads to damage to the chain, bar and motor.
�
Check how keen the chain is every time
before you use the chain saw. A blunt chain
will cause overheating of the motor.
�
Sharpening a saw chain requires experience
and specialised knowledge. We therefore
recommend to have sharpening carried out
by a specialised workshop.
In the case of technical problems
�
The machine does not start up: Check
whether the current socket is live. Check
whether the power cable is undamaged. If
neither case applies, take the chain saw to a
specialised workshop or the works after-sales
service.
�
Chain does not run:
Check position of hand-
guard (see ill. 6). Chain only runs if handguard
brake is released.
�
Sparks fly at the motor:
Motor or carbon
brushes damaged. Take the chain saw to a
specialised workshop or the works after-sales
service.
�
Oil does not flow:
Check the oil level. Clean
the oil flow openings in the bar (see also the
corresponding hints of “Maintenance and
servicing”). If this is not successful, take the
chain saw to a specialised work-shop or the
works after-sales service.
