Cleaning, Maintenance And Ordering Spare Parts - EINHELL GE-HC 18 Li T Traduction Du Mode D'emploi D'origine

•
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. Cutting wood which is under
tension can release the tension, causing the
wood to react out of control. In the worst case this
can result in severe and even fatal injuries. This
type of work must be performed only by specially
trained persons.

ordering spare parts
HAZARD!
Remove the battery pack before doing any
cleaning and maintenance work.
8.1 Cleaning
•
Regularly clean the tensioning mechanism by
blowing it out with compressed air or cleaning
it with a brush. Do not use any tools for
cleaning.
•
Keep the handles free of oil so that you can
maintain a firm grip.
•
If you are not going to use the chainsaw for an
extended period of time, remove the chain oil
from the tank. Briefly immerse the saw chain
and the cutter rail into an oil bath and then
wrap them in oil paper.
•
Never immerse the equipment in water or
other liquids 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 down with compressed air at
low pressure.
•
We recommend cleaning the equipment
immediately each time after use.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a damp
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these may
be aggressive to the plastic parts in the
equipment. Ensure that no water can get into
the interior of the equipment. The ingress of
water into an electric power tool increases the
risk of an electric shock.

8.2 Maintenance
8.2.1 Chainsaw mounting kit
Replacing the 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
damage this can cause to the cutter rail and
the chain. Point the tip of the cutter rail at a
smooth surface (a board or a cut tree face) and
allow the chainsaw to run. If you see a growing
oil stain on the smooth surface, the automatic
chain lubrication system is working properly. If no
clear oil trace is evident then please refer to the
corresponding instructions in "Troubleshooting".
If the information contained there still fails
to remedy the situation, please contact our
service department or another similarly qualifi ed
workshop.
Important! Do not actually touch the surface with
the tip of the cutter rail when performing this test.
Keep a safe distance of approx. 7.9 in. (20 cm).
Sharpening the chain
Working eff ectively with the chainsaw is only
possible if the chain is in good condition and
sharp. This also reduces the risk of kickback. The
chain can be re-sharpened by any dealer. Do not
attempt to sharpen the chain yourself unless you
have the necessary special tools and experience.
