Disposal And Recycling; Storage - EINHELL GC-PC 1235/1 Original Operating Instructions

Chain sharpening requires special tools to ensure
that cutters are sharpened at the correct angle
and depth. For the inexperienced chain saw user,
we recommend that the saw chain be profes-
sionally sharpened by the nearest professional
Service Center. If you feel comfortable sharpening
your own saw chain, special tools are available
from the professional Service Center.
Chain sharpening (Fig. 18)
Sharpen the chain using protective gloves and a
round fi le of.
Always sharpen the cutters only with outward stro-
kes (Fig. 19) observing the values given in Fig. 18.
After sharpening, the cutting links must all have
the same width and length.
After the blades have been sharpened 3-4 times,
check the height of the depth limiter and if neces-
sary lower it with a fl at fi le and then round off the
front corner (Fig. 20).
Round off the front edges with a fi le.
7.3 Storage and transportation
Install the chain guard (4) before transporting or
storing the chainsaw.
Note: Never put a chain saw into storage for lon-
ger than 30 days without carrying out the following
steps.
Storing a chain saw
Storing a chain saw for longer than 30 days re-
quires storage maintenance. Unless the storage
instructions are followed, fuel remaining in the
carburetor will evaporate, leaving gum-like depo-
sits. This could lead to diffi cult starting and result
in costly repairs.
1. Remove the fuel tank cap slowly to release
any pressure in tank. Carefully drain the fuel
tank.
2. Start the engine and let it run until the unit
stops to remove fuel from carburetor.
3. Allow the engine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).
4. Thoroughly clean the saw.
Note: Store the unit in a dry place and away from
possible sources of ignition such as a furnace,
gas hot water heater, gas dryer, etc.
After the saw has been in storage, perform the
steps listed in Paragraph 5 before starting the
chainsaw.
