First Time User; General Inspection; Power Cord Maintenance; Storage - Eckman ECS01 Instruction Manual

6. Turn the bar periodically to use both the sides so that it wears evenly.
7. It is essential that motor cooling vents are kept free from a build-up of sawdust and this decreases the engines
tools cooling capacity and causes overheating equipment, oil pump etc. It is recommended that this is carried out
after every use.
8. Clean the guide and oil holes periodically.
9. De-burr the race sides periodically with a flat file. Time may cause any "burrs" to detach and damage the bar.
10. The bar needs to be evened with a flat file if one of the races is higher than another and then soothed with a file
and fine sandpaper. If races are considerably worn, check that the height is always greater than the chain's
transmission links so that the latter do not touch the bottom. Replace the bar if required.
The chainsaw should be periodically serviced to check the correct operation of the chain, chain drive, motor and
brake.
CAUTION: Water must never come into contact with the machine.

First time user

If you are not familiar with chainsaws and the felling of trees, it is recommended that you obtain informed
instructions in addition to reading this manual fully. We also recommend as a minimum that you practice cutting logs
in a saw-horse or log cradle.

General inspection

Regularly check that all fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate loose over time.

Power cord maintenance

If the supply cord gets damaged in any way and needs replacing, the task must be carried out by the manufacturer,
the manufacturer's agent, or an authorized service centre in order to avoid a safety hazard.

Storage

Clean the electric chain saw with a dry cloth, do not use aggressive cleaning fluids.
Replace the electric chain saw blade cover and store in a dry place. Do not store in hot, dry boiler rooms or other
damp places.
