User manual BOSCH AKE 30

[. . . ] Die Kettensäge regelmäßig auf offensichtliche Mängel untersuchen, wie eine lose, ausgehängte oder beschädigte Sägekette, lose Befestigung und verschlissene oder beschädigte Bauteile. Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. [. . . ] Ensure chain is in correct running direction by comparing with chain symbol 20. Fit the chain onto the drive sprocket 21 and guide the chain bar 10, so that the fastening bolt 15 and the two guide fins 18 fit into the keyway of the chain bar 10, and that the chain tensioning peg 16 fits into the respective hole of the chain bar 10. It is important to use only the recommended biodegradable oil to avoid damage to the chain saw. Use of non approved oil will invalidate the warranty. The kickback brake is a safety mechanism activated through the front hand guard 5, when kickback occurs. The following function check should be carried out at regular intervals. Push front hand guard 5 forward (position ) and start the chain saw. To deactivate the kickback brake, release On/Off switch 2 and pull hand guard 5 backwards (position ). Before Cutting Before and periodically during cutting check as follows: ­ Is the chain saw in a fail-safe condition?Check oil level gauge 26 prior to starting and regularly during operation. Check chain tension every 10 minutes during operation. Upon initial operation, new chains can lengthen considerably. the condition of the chain influences the the cutting performance. Only a sharp chain protects from overload. Is the kickback brake deactivated and its function ensured?­ Are you wearing the necessary protective equipment?Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head, hand, legs and feet is recommend. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental contact with saw chain. D Kickback Kickback is the sudden backward/upward motion of the chain saw, occuring when the chain (at the tip of the chain bar) comes in contact with a log or wood, or when the chain becomes jammed. When kickback occurs the chainsaw reacts unpredicably and can cause severe injuries to the operator or bystanders. Particular attention must be given when sawing sidewards, slanted or during length cuts, as the gripping teeth 11 usually can not be applied. [. . . ] If there is no oil pattern, despite a full oil reservoir, see "Fault Finding" or contact your Bosch approved service agent. Clean the moulded plastic housing of the chain saw using a soft brush and clean cloth. Remove and brush clean the cover plate 12, chain and chain bar after 1 to 3 hours of use. Clean the area under the cover plate 12, the drive sprocket 21 and chain bar assembly using a soft brush. [. . . ]
