909 PH1000 Instruction manual - Chainsaw Maintenance

3. Fit the file in a file holder (not included) and place it over
the tooth at 35°.
4. File forward only until all the worn part of the tooth has
been eliminated.
5. Count the file movements made on the first tooth and do
the same on all the others, both right and left.
6. After some sharpening the delimiting device on the
chain will exceed the height of the cutting teeth, file the
exceeding part by means of a flat file to round off the
depth delimiting device.
7. Ensure that the chain is replaced before stretching to
exceed the maximum adjustment of the chain saw bar.
8. ‘Deep’ Filing should be performed with an electric file. We
advise to use a service centre to perform this operation.
9. Ensure that the chain slides smoothly over the bar when
pulled with hands. Periodically sharpen chain and check
the chain tension.
10. Bars with sprockets need frequent greasing which can
be performed as follows:
•
Fill a syringe or similar device with grease for bearings.
•
Each time the saw is used grease through the hole
provided near the bar tip until the grease penetrated onto
the tip.
•
After 3 times of sharpening the chain your self have it
professionally sharpened. This will ensure that all the
teeth are even.
To avoid damage to the motor, do not keep the chain saw
running if the chain is lodged in the wood.
Chainsaw maintenance
WARNING.
Always ensure that the tool is switched
off and the plug is removed from the power point before
making any adjustments or maintenance procedures.
•
Always keep the air holes clean on the electric chain saw
body. They tend to become clogged with sawdust during
use and this affects the efficiency of cooling, causing
overheating of the motor the other fundamental parts of
the electric chain saw.
•
Do not operate the chainsaw with the air intake on the
ground as this will draw foreign particles into the motor
area and damage the windings of the motor.
•
Regularly check to see if any dust or foreign matter has
entered the grills near the motor and around the on/off
switch. Use a soft brush to remove any accumulated
dust. Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes whilst
cleaning.
•
If the body of the tool needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft
damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but nothing like
alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent.
•
Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
•
Turn the bar periodically to use both the sides so that
it wears evenly.
•
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 damage to
the motor as well as other important equipment, oil pump
etc. It is recommended that this is carried out after every
use.
•
Clean the guide and oil holes periodically.
•
Deburr the race sides periodically with a flat file. Time
may cause any “Burrs” to detach and damage the bar.
•
The bar needs to be evened with a flat file if one of the
races is higher than another and then smoothed with a
file and fine sandpaper. If races are considerably worn,
check that the height is always greater than the chains
transmission links so that the latter do not touch the
bottom. Replace the bar if this should occur.
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 tool.
