Important; Cleaning And Maintenance; Storage - Scheppach BPT700-40Li Traduction Des Instructions D'origine

Important!

• Make sure that the chain tension is always correctly
adjusted.
• Only use a chainsaw if it is in perfect working order.
• Only work with a saw chain that has been properly
sharpened in accordance with the instructions.
• Never cut with the upper edge or the tip of the cut-
ter rail.
• Always hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands.
Cutting wood which is under tension
Special care is required when cutting wood which
is under tension. Wood which is under tension from
which it is released by cutting may in some cases re-
act completely unpredictably and uncontrollably. In
the worst case this could result in extremely severe or
even fatal injuries. This type of work must only be per-
formed by persons who have been specially trained.

9. Cleaning and maintenance

Danger!
Remove the battery pack before doing any cleaning
and maintenance work.
Cleaning
• Regularly clean the clamping mechanism by blow-
ing it out with compressed air or cleaning it with a
brush. Do not use tools for cleaning.
• Keep the handles free of grease so that you can
maintain a firm grip.
• Clean the equipment as required with a damp cloth
and, if necessary, mild washing up liquid.
• If the chainsaw is not to be used for an extended
period of time then you should remove the chain oil
from the tank. Briefly immerse the saw chain and
the cutter rail in an oil bath and then wrap them in
oil paper.
• Never immerse the equipment in water or other liq-
uids in order to clean it.
• Use a brush to remove deposits from the safety
guards.
• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe
the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with com-
pressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the device immedi-
ately each time you have finished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or
solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the
equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the
device. The ingress of water into an electric tool in-
creases the risk of an electric shock.
Maintenance
Chainsaw mounting kit
Replacing the saw chain and cutter rail
The cutter rail needs to be replaced if the guide groove
of the cutter rail is worn; Proceed as described in the
section "Assembly of the cutter rail and the saw chain".
Checking the automatic chain lubrication
You should check the operation of the automatic chain
lubrication system on a regular basis in order to guard
against overheating and the associated damage to
the cutter rail and the saw chain. To do this, point the
tip of the cutter rail towards a smooth surface (board,
section of a cut tree) and allow the chainsaw to run.
If an increasing oil trace becomes evident during this
process then the automatic chain lubrication system
is working properly. If no clear oil trace is evident then
please refer to the corresponding instructions in "Trou-
bleshooting". If the information contained there still
fails to remedy the situation then please contact our
service department or another similarly qualified work-
shop.
Important! Do not actually touch the surface with the
tip of the cutter rail when performing this test. Keep a
safe distance (approx. 20 cm).
Sharpening the saw chain
Effective working with the chainsaw is only possible if
the saw chain is in good condition and sharp. This also
reduces the risk of kickback. The saw chain can be re-
sharpened by any dealer. Do not attempt to sharpen
the saw chain yourself unless you have the necessary
special tools and experience.

The cutters should be cleaned and lubricated at regu-
lar intervals in order to ensure best performance at all
times. Remove deposits with a brush and apply a thin
film of oil.
