Before Using; Guide Bar Maintenance; Troubleshooting - EarthWise CS33016 Manual Del Operario

If you drop the chain saw, carefully inspect it for damage. If the
blade is bent, housing cracked, or handles broken or if you see
any other condition that may affect the saw's operation, call our
customer service line at 1-800-313-5111 for assistance.
Make sure the unit is disconnected from the power supply, then
use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let
any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool
into a liquid.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, maintenance and adjustment should be performed by a
qualified individual always using identical replacement parts.
CAUTION: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic
parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic.
Ensure that the plastic bar cover is in place when storing.
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which
greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals Do not store the tool on
or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals.
For smooth and fast cutting, chain needs to be maintained
properly. The chain requires sharpening when the wood chips are
small and powdery, the chain must be forced through the wood
during cutting, or the chain cuts to one side. Refer to instructions
earlier in this manual for instructions on properly sharpening the
chain.

LUBRICATION SYSTEM
BEFORE USING : Fill oil well with new quality bar and chain oil, or
if unavailable, unused SAE 30 weight motor oil may be substituted.
The chain is automatically lubricated.
Use only new bar and chain oil or unused SAE 30 weight motor oil
may be substituted. Never use wasted oil, low quality oil, or insufficient
oil. This could damage the pump; the bar and the chain which may
result in serious personal injury. Check oil level before each work
session, refill if less than ¼ full.
If the lubrication system does not work properly, check if the oil filter and
all oil-ways are clean and free from obstructions. If it is still not working,
call our customer service line at 1-800-313-5111 for assistance.

GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE

When the guide bar shows signs of wear, reverse it on the saw to
distribute the wear for maximum bar life. The bar should be cleaned
every day of use and checked for wear and damage.
Feathering or burring of the bar rails is a normal process of bar wear.
Such faults should be smoothed with a file as soon as they occur.
A bar with any of the following faults should be replaced.
- Wear inside the bar rails which permits the chain to lay over sideways.
- Bent guide bar
- Cracked or broken rails
- Spread rails
In addition, guide bars with a sprocket at their tip must be lubricated
weekly with a grease syringe to extend the guide bar life. Using a
grease syringe, lubricate weekly in the lubricating hole.
Turn the guide bar and check that the lubrication holes and chain
groove are free from obstructions.
- Check extension cord is fully connected to tool
- Check extension cord is fully connected to a live receptacle
- Check that lock off is fully depressed prior to engaging trigger
switch
- Adjust chain tension
- Fill tank with chain oil
- Reverse chain so that cutters face the right direction
- Adjust chain tension
- Replace damaged bar and chain with identical replacement
parts or contact our customer service center at 1-800-313-5111
for assistance.
