Chain Lubrication; Filling Up With Chain Oil - FLORABEST FKS 2200 E3 Originalbetriebsanleitung

Before the start of work and in approx. 10
minute intervals, we recommend the user to
examine the chain tension and correct it, if
necessary.
The chain warms up when working with
the saw and thus expands slightly. These
"expansions" can be expected especially
from newer chains.
Do not re-tighten or change the chain
when it is hot because it shrinks slightly
once it has cooled down. In case of non-
observance, this can lead to damages on
the guide rail or the engine because now
the chain is too taut on the blade.
Chain tension and chain lubrication have
a significant impact on the service life of
the chain.
The chain is correctly tensioned if it does
not sag at the rail underside and can be
rotated completely around with the gloved
hand.
When the saw chain is tensioned with 9 N
(approx. 1 kg), the gap between the saw
chain and the guide rail may not be more
than 2 mm.
10 min
1. Ensure that the chain brake has
B
been released, that is, that the
chain brake lever (3) is pulled up
against the front grip (8).
2. Unscrew the fastening bolt (14).
3. To tighten the saw, turn the chain
adjustment ring (13) clockwise.
To loosen the tension, turn the
chain adjustment ring anti-clock-
wise.
4. Tighten up the fastening bolt (14)
again.
With a new saw chain, you must
readjust the chain tension after at
least 5 cutting operations.

Chain lubrication

The rail and chain must never be
without oil. If you operate the elec-
tric chainsaw with too little oil, the
cutting performance and the lifetime
of the saw chain is reduced, since
the chain becomes blunt faster. You
can identify a case of too little oil
where smoke development or dis-
coloration of the rail occurs.
As soon as the motor is speeded up, the oil
also flows faster to the chain bar (4).

Filling up with chain oil:

• Check the oil fill level (
regularly top up with oil. The oil tank
holds 270 ml oil.
• Use Parkside bio-oil; this product con-
tains additives that reduce wear and
tear and does not damage the pump
system. bio-oil is available from our
Service-Center.
• If you have no Grizzly bio-oil available,
use chain lubrication oil with low adhe-
sive additive content.
• Empty the oil tank before longer periods
(6-8 weeks) of non-use.
1. Unscrew the oil fill cap (2) and fill
C
up with chain oil.
2. Wipe off any spilled oil and
close the cap again.
