Before Starting The Equipment - Scheppach BPT700-40Li Traduction Des Instructions D'origine

• Service and clean the appliance regularly.
• Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.
• Do not overload the appliance.
• Have the appliance serviced whenever necessary.
• Switch the appliance off when it is not in use.
• Wear protective gloves.

7. Before starting the equipment

Caution! Do not fi t the battery until the equipment
has been fully assembled and all the settings have
been actuated. Always wear protective gloves when
working on the equipment to protect yourself against
injury. Carefully unpack all parts and check that they
are complete.
Assembly
Fitting the chain saw mounting kit (for use as a pole-
operated pruner)
Assembly of the cutter rail and the saw chain
• Undo the fixing screw (17) of the chain wheel cover
(Fig. 2).
• Take off the chain wheel cover (18). (Fig. 3)
• Lay the chain as shown in the groove which runs
around the cutter rail (Fig. 4/Item 19).
• Insert the cutter rail and chain as shown in the
mounting in the chainsaw (Fig. 5).
• At the same time guide the chain around the chain
wheel (Fig. 5/Item 20).
• Attach the chain wheel cover (Fig. 6/Item 18) and
fasten it hand-tight with the fastening screw.
• Do not fully tighten the fastening screw until after
you have adjusted the chain tension.
Tensioning the saw chain
Caution! Always remove the battery from the device
before inspection and adjustment. Always wear pro-
tective gloves when working on the chainsaw to pro-
tect yourself against injury.
• Undo the fixing screw (18) of the chain wheel cover
a few turns (Fig. 6).
• Adjust the chain tension with the chain tensioning
screw (Fig. 7/Item 21). Turning the screw clockwise
increases the chain tension, turning it counter-
clockwise decreases the chain tension. The saw
chain is correctly tensioned if it can be lifted ap-
prox. 2 mm in the middle of the cutter rail (Fig. 8).
• Secure the fixing screw (18) of the chain wheel
cover (Fig. 6).
Notice! All the chain links must lie properly in the
guide groove of the cutter bar.
Notes on tensioning the chain:
The saw chain must be properly tensioned to ensure
safe operation. You can tell that the chain tension is
perfect if the saw chain can be lifted by around 2 mm
in the middle of the cutter rail. As the saw chain heats
up during cutting and thus changes in length, check
28 GB
the chain tension no less than every 10 minutes and
adjust it again as required. This applies in particular
to new saw chains. When you have fi nished working
slacken the chain again, as the chain will shorten when
it cools down. This will prevent the chain from being
damaged.
Saw chain lubrication
Caution! Always remove the battery from the device
before inspection and adjustment. Always wear pro-
tective gloves when working on the chainsaw to pro-
tect yourself against injury.
Important! Never operate the chain if it is not lubricat-
ed with saw chain oil. Use of the chainsaw without saw
chain oil or if the oil level is below the viewing window
will result in damage to the chainsaw!
Important! Be aware of the temperature conditions:
different lubricants with completely different viscosi-
ties are required at different ambient temperatures. At
lower temperatures you will need low viscosity oils in
order to achieve a sufficient lubricating film. However,
if the same low viscosity oil is used during the sum-
mer it will become even thinner due to the ambient
temperatures alone, and as a result the lubricating film
could break down, causing the chain to overheat and
become damaged. In addition, the chain oil would burn
and produce unnecessary pollutants.
Filling the oil tank (Fig. 9):
• Place the chainsaw on a flat surface.
• Clean the area around the oil tank cover (Item 23)
and then clean the oil tank cover.
• Fill the tank (Item 22) with saw chain oil. In the pro-
cess, make sure that no dirt enters the tank, as this
could cause the oil nozzle to become blocked.
• Close the oil tank cover (Item 23).
After the chain saw mounting kit has been fitted and
when the equipment is not being used, slip the cutter
guard (Fig. 1/Item 13) over the mounted cutter bar with
saw chain in order to prevent injuries.
Mounting telescopic tube and attachment (Fig. 10)
• Insert the telescopic pipe (8) into the pipe (24)
(Fig.10); pay attention to the groove and spring posi-
tion (Fig. 10.1). Screw the locking mechanism (7/9)
(Fig. 10.1) to affix the extension or the attachment.
The desired attachment can also be mounted without
telescopic tube. see Fig. 10.1
Using the shoulder strap
Warning! Always use the shoulder strap when working
with the equipment. Switch off the equipment before
you take off the shoulder strap (risk of injury).
1. Hook the carabiner (5) into the strap holder (25).
(Fig. 11)
2. Slip the shoulder strap over your shoulder. (Fig. 11.1)
3. Adjust the length of the shoulder strap so that the
strap attachment is at waist level.
