Initial Operation - Scheppach CSE2500 Traducción De La Instrucción De Original

• After working with the chainsaw, you should always:
Clean the saw chain and guide bar and replace the
chain guard.
• If the chain brake is activated the chainsam will be
deactivated immediately.
Explanation of the Operation/Overload indicator
(Fig. 2, 18):
Green LED:
The green LED comes on when the device is in use.
Red LED:
The red LED comes on if the device is overloaded.
It does not go out until the device is switched off and
back on again.

8. Initial operation

The voltage and current supply must comply with the
ratings on the type plate.
Before commencing work, always check that the
chainsaw works properly and is safe to operate.
Check also that the chain lubrication and the oil
gauge are in good working order (see Fig. 4). When
the oil lever is approx. 5 mm from the bottom mark,
you must top up with oil. When the oil level is higher
you can work without worry.
• Switch on the chain saw and hold it above the
ground. Be careful not allow the chainsaw to touch
the ground. For safety reasons it is best to keep a
clearance of at least 20 cm. If you now see growing
traces of oil, the chain lubrication system is work-
ing correctly. If there are no traces of oil at all, try
cleaning the oil outlet (Fig 2, C) and the oil duct or
contact your Customer Service. (Be sure to read
the section "Filling in chain oil and chain lubrication"
on this point).
• Check the chain tension and retention, if necessary
(see the section "Tensioning the saw chain" on this
point).
• Make sure the chain brake is working properly (see
also the section "Releasing the chain brake").
Assembly
Fitting the guide bar and chain (Fig. 1, 2, 3)
Warning! If the chain saw is already connected to
the power supply: Pull the plug from the socket outlet.
Wear protective gloves whenever doing any work on
the saw chain.
Important: The front finger guard (3) must always be
in the top (vertical) position (Fig. 5).
The guide bar and saw chain are supplied separately.
To assemble, first unscrew the lock nut (SDS-sys-
tem/5) and remove the guide bar cover (6). The guide
bolt (17) must be in the centre of the guide.
If necessary, adjust the chain tensioning with the
chain wheel (Fig. 3, 5a).

Warning! To prevent injury on the sharp cutting edg-
es, always wear gloves when assembling, tensioning
and checking the chain.
Before assembling the guide bar with the saw chain,
check the cutting direction of the teeth!
The running direction is marked with an arrow on the
cover (6). To determine the direction of cut, it may be
necessary to turn over the saw chain (4).
Hold the guide bar (7) vertically with the tip pointing
upwards and put on the saw chain (4, beginning at
the tip of the bar.
Then assemble the guide bar with the saw chain as
follows:
• Place the guide bar with the saw chain on the chain
wheel (16) and guide bolt (17). Ensure that the ad-
justment plate (Fig. 3/7a) is showing to you.
• Place the saw chain round the chain wheel (16).
Cause the chainsaw to the sprocket and check
whether it is correctly.
• The adjustment plate (7a) is fastened to the guide
rail (7) with the screw F.
• Place the cover (6) on top and tighten gently with
the lock nut (5).
Now the saw chain has to be correctly tensioned.
Tensioning the saw chain
Warning!
Always pull the plug out of the power socket before
doing any work on the chainsaw!
Wear safety gloves!
• Make sure the saw chain (4) is inside the guide
groove of the guide bar (7).
• Turn the outer Knob (Fig. 3/5a) clockwise until the
saw chain is correctly tensioned, then rotate the in-
side knob (5) to block the guide bar in that position.
• While the inside knob is being tightened, the guide
bar must then be pushed upwards.
• Check the chain tension again. Do not tension the
chain too tightly.
• When cold, it should be possible to lift the chain in
the middle of the guide bar approx. 5 mm. Tighten
the lock nut (5) securely.
• When warm, the saw chain will expand and slacken
and there is a danger of it jumping off the rail alto-
gether. Re-tension if necessary.
• If the saw chain is re-tensioned when hot, it must
be loosened again when the sawing work has been
completed.
• Otherwise, the contraction which takes place as
the chain cools would result in excessively high
tension.
• A new saw chain requires a running-in period of
approx .5 minutes. Chain lubrication is very impor-
tant at this stage. After running in, check chain ten-
sion and re-tension if necessary.
