Operating The Chainsaw; Switching On; Checking The Chain Brake - Grizzly EKS 2440 QT Translation Of The Original Instructions For Use

GB
Always switch off the device and
allow the motor to cool before
filling with chain oil. There is a
risk of fire if oil overflows.

Operating the chainsaw

Switch on the chainsaw only when
chain bar, saw chain and sprocket
chain wheel covering are correctly
assembled. Ensure the voltage of
the mains connection agrees with
the label on the device. Make sure
you have a secure stance
Note: The saw is a high-powered
device, where a 13 A fuse gener-
ally suffices, provided that further
current consumers with high ser-
vice are not connected. However,
if the premises installations are
not implemented optimally and
"quick-acting" protection fuses are
built-in (e.g. B 16), the protection
fuse will be activated due to the
current peaks during switch-on.
You should install time-delay fuses
with the designation "L", which can
be bought in every hardware store.
Fuses with the designation "G" are
provided with even longer time de-
lay, however they are not usually
employed in households.
Caution! Saw can oil up, see notes
on Operation startup.

Switching on

1. Check before the start, whether
D
sufficient chain oil is in the tank
and, if necessary, refill with
chain oil (see Chapter Operation
Start).
130
2. Form a loop from the end of the
extension cable and hang this
into the tension relief (17) on the
rear grip (1).
3. Connect the device to the mains
voltage.
4. Release the chain brake, where
you shift the brake arm (3) back
against the front grip (8).
5. Hold the electric chainsaw firmly
with both hands, with the right
hand on the rear grip (1) and the
left hand on the front handle (8).
Thumb and finger must close
securely over the handles.
6. For switching on, activate the
switch-on block (11) with the
right thumb and then press the
On/Off switch (10), the electric
power saw runs with highest
speed. Release the switch-on
block again.
7. The power saw switches off
when you release the On/Off
switch (10) again. Switching for
continuous running is not pos-
sible.

Checking the chain brake

The motor cannot be turned on
if the chain brake has engaged.
Do not employ the chain brake in
order to start the chainsaw or to
switch it off.
1. Place the electric chainsaw onto
E
a solid, flat surface. It must not
contact any objects.
2. Connect the device to the mains
voltage.
