4.3 Brændstofblanding

Your Scheppach PCS56E chainsaw requires a specific fuel mixture for its 2-stroke engine:

  • Bland blyfri benzin med 2-taktsmotorolie af høj kvalitet i et forhold på 40:1 (40 parts gasoline to 1 part oil).

4.4 Justering af kædespænding

Proper chain tension is crucial for safe and efficient operation. Adjust the chain tension as follows:

  1. Løsn møtrikkerne på kædedækslet en smule.
  2. Use the chain tensioning screw (usually located on the side of the chainsaw) to adjust the tension. Turn clockwise to tighten, counter-clockwise to loosen.
  3. The chain is correctly tensioned when it can be pulled away from the guide bar by about 2-3 mm at the center, but the drive links remain in the guide bar groove.
  4. Once tension is correct, firmly tighten the chain cover nuts.
