Adjusting The Chain Tension; Starting Up A New Saw Chain - Parkside PKS 2200 A1 Originalbetriebsanleitung

- Sharp edge angle (30°)
G
- Breast angle (85°)
- Sharpness depth (0.65 mm)
Deviations from the meas-
urement data of the cutting
geometry can lead to an
increase of the spring-back
slope of the machine. In-
creased danger of accident!
Special tools are necessary for sharpening
the chain, which guarantee that the cutting
edges are sharpened at the correct angle
and to the correct depth. For the inexperi-
enced user of chainsaws, we recommend
to have the saw chain sharpened by a
specialist or a specialist workshop. If you
think yourself capable of sharpening the
chain, you can acquire the special tools in
the specialist trade.
1. Switch the saw off and unplug it
H
from the mains.
2. Remove the saw chain (refer to the
section on operating the saw). The
chain should be well-tensioned to
ensure proper sharpening.
3. For the sharpening, a round file
with 4.0 mm diameter is necessary.
Other diameters damage the
chain and can lead to danger
during work!
4. Sharpen only from the inside to
the outside. Guide the file from
the inner side of the cutting teeth
to the outer side. Lift the file when
you are withdrawing it.
5. Sharpen first the teeth on one side.
Then flip over the chain saw and
sharpen the teeth on the other side.
6. The chain is worn and must be
replaced by a new saw chain if
only approx. 4 mm of the cutting
teeth is remaining.
7. After the sharpening, all cutting
elements must now be equal in
length and width.
8. After every third sharpening, the
sharpness depth (depth limita-
tion) must be checked and the
height filed with the aid of a flat
file. The depth limitation should
be set back about 0.65 mm from
the cutting tooth. After the setting
back of depth limitation, round it
off a little at the front.

Adjusting the chain tension

The adjustment of the chain tension is de-
scribed in the chapter: Assembly,
ing chainsaw.

Starting up a new saw chain

In the case of a new chain, the tensioning
force decreases after some
you have to re-tension the chain after the
first 5 cuts and no later than after 10 min-
utes' sawing time.
Never attach a new chain
to a worn drive pinion or
place onto a damaged or
worn chain bar. The chain
could spring back or break,
potentially leading to serious
injury.
