6. Betjeningsvejledning

6.1 Start af motorsaven

The Greenworks GD40CS18 features an electric start, eliminating the need for gas, fumes, carburetors, spark plugs, or starter ropes. Simply insert a charged 40V battery, engage the chain brake (if not already engaged), and press the start button while holding the trigger.

6.2 Skæreteknikker

Always maintain a balanced stance and a firm grip on both handles. Plan your cuts to avoid kickback. For optimal performance and safety, use the metal bucking spikes for added durability and leverage against the wood. The wrap-around auxiliary handle helps reduce vibration and increases control during operation.

7. Vedligeholdelse

Regelmæssig vedligeholdelse sikrer din motorsavs lange levetid og sikre drift. Fjern altid batteriet, før du udfører nogen form for vedligeholdelse.

7.1 Generel rengøring

Clean the chainsaw after each use. Remove sawdust, chips, and debris from the motor housing, chain, and bar. Use a brush or compressed air. Do not use water or solvents that could damage plastic parts or electrical components.

7.2 Kædesmøring

The auto-oiler mechanism continuously lubricates the chain during operation. Regularly check the oil level through the transparent window and refill as needed with quality bar and chain oil.

7.3 Chain Sharpening and Bar Maintenance

A sharp chain is essential for efficient and safe cutting. Sharpen the chain regularly or replace it when dull. Inspect the guide bar for wear, burrs, or damage. Rotate the guide bar periodically to ensure even wear.

7.4 Opbevaring

When storing the chainsaw, especially for extended periods, it is advisable to store it with as little bar and chain oil in the tank as possible to minimize potential leakage. Store the chainsaw in a dry, secure location out of reach of children.

8. Fejlfinding

This section addresses common questions and issues you might encounter with your Greenworks GD40CS18 Chainsaw.

8.1 Differences from Older Models (e.g., 20312)

• Chain Tension Mechanism: The GD40CS18 features an updated side-adjust chain tensioning system, which uses a wrench (included) for more reliable and professional adjustments compared to older tool-less designs.
• Kædebremse: This model incorporates a new mechanical chain brake for enhanced safety.
• Batteri: The batteries have been upgraded to a new style, offering improved performance.
• Internal Electrics: The unit has an updated look and upgraded internal electrics for increased efficiency and reliability.

8.2 Batterikompatibilitet

Yes, the new style 40V batteries are designed to be compatible with all Greenworks G-Max/Elite 40V tools, allowing you to use your existing Greenworks 40V battery ecosystem.

8.3 Oil Leakage

Greenworks chainsaws are equipped with automatic oilers that release oil to lubricate the chain. Some oil leakage, especially during storage, is normal. To minimize this, store the unit with as little oil in the tank as possible. If you notice excessive leakage, try slightly loosening the oil cap to relieve any pressure buildup. If the issue persists, please contact Greenworks customer support.

9. Brugertips

• For optimal battery life and performance, always fully charge your battery before use.
• Regularly check and adjust chain tension. A properly tensioned chain improves cutting efficiency and safety.
• Keep the chain sharp. A dull chain can lead to poor performance, increased battery drain, and higher risk of kickback.
• When storing, especially for long periods, empty the oil tank to prevent potential leaks.
• The brushless motor provides excellent torque and runtime; utilize it by letting the saw do the work, avoiding excessive force.
