Oiling The Saw Chain; Sharpening The Saw Chain - Parkside Performance PPKSA 40-Li A1 Translation Of The Original Instructions

Oiling the saw chain

Clean and oil the chain regularly. In
this­way,­you­keep­the­chain­sharp­
and get optimum machine perfor-
mance. In case of damage due to
inadequate maintenance of the saw
chain,­the­guarantee­claim­is­inva-
lid. Remove the batteries and use
cut-resistant gloves when working
with the chain or with the blade.
•­ Oil­the­chain­after­cleaning,­after­10­

depending­on­which­comes­first.
•­ Before­oiling,­the­chain­bar­must­be­
cleaned­thoroughly,­in­particular­the­
teeth of the rail. Use a whisk and a dry
cloth for that.
• Oil the individual chain links with the
aid of an oil suction gun with pinpoint
tip­(available­in­the­specialist­trade).­
Place individual oil drops onto the ar-
ticulated links and onto the tooth tips of
the individual chain links.

Sharpening the saw chain

An incorrectly sharpened
saw chain increases the dan-
ger of spring-back!
Use cut-protection gloves
when you are handling the
chain or the chain bar.
A sharp chain guarantees an op-
timal cutting performance. It eats
effortlessly through the wood and
leaves­large,­long­wooden­chips.­
A saw chain is blunt if you have to
press the cutting equipment through
the wood and the wooden chips
are very small. In the case of a very
blunt­saw­chain,­no­chip­cuttings­
result­at­all,­only­sawdust.
• The sawing parts of the chain are the
cutting­elements,­which­consist­of­a­cut-
ting tooth and a depth limiting projec-
tion. The vertical separation distance
between these two determines the
sharpness depth.
• The following values must be noted in
sharpening the cutting teeth:
­ -­ Sharp­edge­angle­(30°)
­ -­ Breast­angle­(85°)
­ -­ Apex­angle­(60°)
­ -­ Sharpness­depth­(0.65­mm)
­ -­ Round­file­diameter­(4.0­mm)
Deviations from the meas-
urement data of the cutting
geometry can lead to an
increase of the spring-back
slope of the machine. In-
creased danger of accident!
Special tools are necessary for sharpening
the­chain,­which­guarantee­that­the­cutting­
edges are sharpened at the correct angle
and­to­the­correct­depth.­For­the­inexperi-
enced­user­of­chainsaws,­we­recommend­
to have the saw chain sharpened by a spe-
cialist or a specialist workshop. If you are
familiar­with­the­sharpening­of­the­chain,­
you­can­purchase­the­tools,­for­example­
from­Parkside­(e.g.­chain­sharpener).
1. Remove the saw chain (refer to the
section­on­operating­the­saw).­The­
chain should be well-tensioned to
ensure proper sharpening.
2.­ For­the­sharpening,­a­round­file­with­
4.0 mm­diameter­is­necessary.
