Cleaning And Storage - Remington RM4050 Manual Del Operador

REPLACING THE GUIDE BAR AND SAW CHAIN
WARNING:
Always use a low-kickback saw chain,
which significantly reduces the danger of kickback. Low-
kickback saw chain does not completely eliminate
kickback. A low-kickback or "safety chain," should never
be regarded as total protection against injury.
When replacing the guide bar and saw chain, only use the
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or their
equivalents. Refer to Replacement Parts. Use of any unauthorized
parts or accessories could lead to serious injury to the operator or
damage to the unit and will VOID the warranty.
Always use a replacement saw chain designated as "low-kickback"
or a saw chain that meets the low-kickback performance
requirements. A standard saw chain (a chain that does not have the
kickback-reducing guard links) should only be used by an
experienced professional pole saw operator.
CLEANING
WARNING:
To prevent serious injury, never clean the
unit while it is running. Always remove the battery to
prevent the unit from starting accidentally. Always allow the
unit to cool before cleaning the unit. Always unplug the
battery charger before cleaning the battery charger.
WARNING:
To prevent serious injury, do not use water
to clean the unit, battery or battery charger. Do not douse
the unit with water. Do not submerge the unit in water or
any other liquid. Do not use strong detergents. Household
cleaners that contain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon,
and solvents such as kerosene, can damage plastic.
1. Loosen the saw chain if the chain tension was adjusted during
operation. The saw chain will contract as the unit cools, which
could damage the unit if the chain is too tight.
2. Use a small brush or clean, dry cloth to clean the outside of the
unit, battery and battery charger.
NOTE: When preparing the unit for long-term storage (30 days or
more), remove the guide bar and saw chain. Carefully clean the
guide bar cover, guide bar mounting surface and sprocket. Use
a firm non-wire brush to clean the guide bar groove.
Reassemble the unit.
3. Lightly coat the guide bar and saw chain with a corrosion-
inhibiting oil.
