Tensioning The Saw Chain - Parkside PGKGA 40-Li B2 Translation Of The Original Instructions

GB MT
Tension the saw chain in accor-
dance with the first 5-6 steps. See
section "Tensioning the saw chain".
1. Place the device on a level surface.
2. Remove the chain wheel cover (33) by
loosening the nut (34) with the moun-
ting key (23).
3. Place the sawing chain (1) into the bla-
de groove. Place the sawing chain (1)
into the chain sprocket (36).
4. Place the blade bar (35) and saw
chain (1) onto the rail bolts (37). When
the nose on the right below the guide
bolt (37) sits in the lower round recess
on the blade bar, the blade bar is
placed correctly. It is normal for the
saw chain (1) to sag.
5. Pre-tension the saw chain (1) by turning
the screw (38) in a clockwise direction
with the mounting key (23).
6. Put the chain wheel cover (33) back in
position. Tighten the chain wheel cover
nut (34).
Caution! The pole-mounted pruner
can be prone to leaks.

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
58
shrinks slightly once it has cooled
down. If this is not observed it can
lead to damage on the guide rail or
the motor 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.
The saw chain is properly tensioned when
it does not hang 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.

Risk of injury!
Remove the batteries from
the device before working
on the device.
1. Loosen the nut (34) of the sprock-
et cover (33) with the mounting
key (23).
2. Tension the saw chain (1) by
turning the screw (38) in a clock-
wise direction with the mounting
key (23).
Reduce the saw chain tension by
turning the screw anti-clockwise.
3. Fix the sprocket cover (33) by
tightening the nut (34) with the
mounting key (23).
The chain tension of a new saw
chain must be readjusted after a
maximum of 5 cuts.
