Vigtige sikkerhedsinstruktioner

WARNING: Read and understand all instructions before using this electric chainsaw. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.

Generelle sikkerhedsregler:

• Brug altid passende personlige værnemidler (PPE), herunder sikkerhedsbriller, høreværn, handsker og robust fodtøj.
• Ensure the work area is clear of obstructions, children, and bystanders.
• Brug ikke motorsaven i våde forhold eller i nærheden af ​​brandfarlige væsker eller gasser.
• Inspect the chainsaw for damage before each use. Do not operate if damaged.
• Hold hænder og fødder væk fra kæden, når motorsaven er tilsluttet strøm.
• Disconnect the chainsaw from the power source before making any adjustments, cleaning, or performing maintenance.
• Use only extension cords rated for outdoor use and appropriate for the chainsaw's ampslette.
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the tool.

Kickback Safety:

Kickback can occur when the moving chain at the tip of the guide bar contacts an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. This can cause a rapid, uncontrolled upward and backward motion of the guide bar towards the operator.

• Hold et fast greb med begge hænder på motorsaven.
• Ræk ikke for langt eller klip over skulderhøjde.
• Vær opmærksom på sværdspidsens position.

Opsætning og montering

1. Udpakning:

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.

2. Bar and Chain Installation (if not pre-assembled):

1. Sørg for, at motorsaven er frakoblet.
2. Remove the side cover by loosening the retention knob.
3. Place the chain around the sprocket and guide bar, ensuring the cutting edges face forward on the top of the bar.
4. Align the guide bar studs with the holes in the guide bar.
5. Replace the side cover and hand-tighten the retention knob.

3. Justering af kædespænding:

Proper chain tension is crucial for safe and efficient operation. The chain should be snug against the guide bar but still able to be pulled freely by hand.

1. Sørg for, at motorsaven er frakoblet.
2. Loosen the side cover retention knob slightly.
3. Turn the tool-less chain tensioner knob (typically located on the side cover) clockwise to increase tension or counter-clockwise to decrease tension.
4. Check tension: The chain should not sag on the underside of the guide bar. When pulled away from the bar, the drive links should remain in the bar groove.
5. Once tension is correct, firmly tighten the side cover retention knob.

4. Filling the Bar and Chain Oiler:

The Homelite UT43123 features an automatic oiler. It is essential to keep the oil reservoir filled with appropriate bar and chain oil.

1. Ensure the chainsaw is unplugged and on a level surface.
2. Locate and remove the oil reservoir cap.
3. Fill the reservoir with high-quality bar and chain oil. Do not use motor oil or waste oil.
4. Sæt hætten sikkert på igen.
5. Periodically check the oil level during operation using the oil level window.

Betjeningsvejledning

1. Tilslutning til strøm:

• Use a heavy-duty outdoor extension cord (e.g., 12 or 14 gauge) appropriate for the length required.
• Ensure the extension cord is in good condition, without cuts or fraying.
• Connect the chainsaw's power cord to the extension cord, and then plug the extension cord into a grounded 120V AC outlet.
• Secure the connection between the chainsaw cord and extension cord to prevent accidental disconnection during use.

2. Start af motorsaven:

1. Hold fast i motorsaven med begge hænder.
2. Depress the lockout switch (usually a small button or lever) with your thumb.
3. Squeeze the trigger switch to start the motor. The chain will begin to move.
4. Release the lockout switch once the motor is running.

3. Making a Cut:

• Always stand with good balance and footing.
• Allow the chainsaw to reach full speed before contacting the wood.
• Apply light pressure. Let the saw do the work. Do not force the saw through the cut.
• Be aware of potential kickback. Avoid cutting with the tip of the guide bar.
• For felling trees, follow proper notching and felling techniques. Consult professional guidance if unsure.
• For limbing, work from the bottom up, supporting the limb to prevent pinching.

4. Standsning af motorsaven:

Release the trigger switch. The chain will stop quickly.

Opretholdelse

WARNING: Always disconnect the chainsaw from the power source before performing any maintenance or cleaning.

1. Kædeslibning:

A sharp chain is essential for safe and efficient cutting. A dull chain will cause the saw to work harder, produce sawdust instead of chips, and increase the risk of kickback.

• Sharpen the chain regularly using a round file med den korrekte diameter (se kædespecifikationerne).
• Maintain consistent filing angles for each cutter.
• Alternatively, have the chain professionally sharpened or replace it with a new one.

2. Vedligeholdelse af sværd:

• Rengør sværdsporet regelmæssigt for at fjerne savsmuld og snavs.
• Vend sværdet med jævne mellemrum for at sikre jævn slitage.
• Kontroller for grater på sværdskinnerne og file dem glatte, hvis de er til stede.

3. Rengøring:

• After each use, clean the chainsaw thoroughly.
• Remove sawdust, wood chips, and oil residue from the motor housing, guide bar, and chain.
• Brug en børste eller trykluft. Brug ikke vand til at rengøre elektriske komponenter.

4. Opbevaring:

• Ensure the chainsaw is clean and dry before storing.
• Empty the bar and chain oil reservoir if storing for an extended period.
• Påfør et tyndt lag olie på kæden og sværdet for at forhindre rust.
• Opbevar motorsaven et tørt og sikkert sted, utilgængeligt for børn.
• Use the guide bar cover to protect the chain.
