Operation; Working With The Chainsaw - EINHELL GC-EC 750 T Original Operating Instructions

Notice! Never operate the chain if it is not lub-
ricated with saw chain oil. Use of the chainsaw
without saw chain oil or if the oil level is below the
"min" mark will damage the chainsaw.
Notice! Be aware of the temperature conditions:
diff erent lubricants with completely diff erent
viscosities are required at diff erent ambient tem-
peratures. At lower temperatures you will need
low viscosity oils in order to achieve a suffi cient
lubricating fi lm. However, if the same low viscosity
oil is used during the summer it will become even
thinner due to the ambient temperatures alone,
and as a result the lubricating fi lm could break
down, causing the chain to overheat and become
damaged. In addition, the chain oil would burn
and produce unnecessary pollutants.
Filling the oil tank (Fig. 9):
Warning! Fill in the oil outdoors and do not
smoke while fi lling.
•
Place the chainsaw on a flat surface.
•
Clean the area around the oil tank cover (Item
11) and then open the oil tank cover.
•
Fill the tank (Item 20) with saw chain oil. In
the process, make sure that no dirt enters
the tank, as this could cause the oil nozzle to
become blocked.
•
Close the oil tank cover (Item 11).

6. Operation

Please note that the statutory regulations gover-
ning noise abatement may diff er from one loca-
tion to another.
6.1 Using the shoulder strap
Warning! Always use the shoulder strap when
working with the equipment. Switch off the
equipment before you take off the shoulder strap
(Otherwise there is a risk of injury.)
1. Fig. 10: Hook the carabiner (T) into the strap
holder (E).
2. Fig. 11: Place the shoulder strap (4) over your
shoulder and adjust the length of the strap so
that the strap attachment is at waist level.
3. Fig. 12: The shoulder strap is equipped with a
buckle. Fold the fastener up in the direction of
the arrow if you need to put the device down
quickly.

6.2 Setting the telescopic tube (Fig. 13)
1. Open (a) the telescopic tube lock (8).
2. Pull out the telescopic tube (9) until it reaches
the required working height.
3. Close (b) the telescopic tube lock (8) again.
6.3 Connecting to the mains supply
•
Connect the power cable to a suitable ex-
tension cable. Make sure that the extension
cable is designed for the power rating of the
chainsaw.
•
Secure the extension cable as shown in Fig.
14 to protect it against pulling forces and ac-
cidental disconnection.
•
Connect the extension cable to a professio-
nally installed safety mains outlet with ground
contact. We recommend using a cable with
a bright and highly visible color, e.g. red or
yellow. This will reduce the risk of accidentally
damaging it with the chainsaw.
6.4 On/Off switch
Switching on
•
Hold the chainsaw by the handles with both
hands (thumbs under the additional handle).
•
Press and hold the safety lock-off (Fig. 14/
Item R).
•
To switch on the chainsaw, activate the ON/
OFF switch (Fig. 14/Item 3). You can then re-
lease the safety lock-off.
Switching off
Release the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 14/Item 3).
Always disconnect the mains plug when you stop
working, even if it is only for a short time.

7. Working with the chainsaw

Preparations
To ensure that you can work safely, check the
following points before every use and in the event
of any damage:
Condition of the chainsaw
Inspect the chainsaw before the start of work for
damage to the housing, the power cable, the saw
chain and the cutter rail. Never use a chainsaw
which is obviously damaged. - Danger of acci-
dent!
Danger! The protective devices must not be re-
moved or modifi ed. - Danger of accident! Never
