User manual BLACK & DECKER CS2245

[. . . ] Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. [. . . ] ) Vibration Avoid cutting The declared vibration emission values stated in the technical data and the declaration of conformity have been measured in accordance with a standard test method provided by EN 60745 and may be used for comparing one tool with another. The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure. The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used. When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons regularly using power tools in employment, an estimation of vibration exposure should consider, the actual conditions of use and the way the tool is used, including taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time. Additional safety instructions u Ensure someone is nearby (but at a safe distance) in case of an accident. U If for any reason you have to touch the saw chain, make sure your chainsaw is disconnected from the mains. We therefore recommend you take appropriate measures for the protection of hearing. U When handling the product the chain bar may become hot, handle with care. Before performing any assembly or maintenance on power tools, switch off and disconnect from mains. Remove the cable tie that attaches the chain to the chainbar before assembly. 9 ENGLISH Oiling the chain (Original instructions) You must do this whenever you use a new chain (5) for the first time. Take the new chain (5) and soak it in chain oil for at least an hour before using it. We recommend that you use only BLACK+DECKER oil during the lifetime of your chainsaw because mixtures of different oils could lead to the oil becoming degraded, which can drastically shorten the lifetime of the saw chain and create additional risks. Set the front guard/chain brake assembly (3) to the forward position (fig. U Rotate the chain adjust locking knob (7) counterclockwise to remove the chain cover assembly (6) (fig. U Place the chain (5) over the guide bar (4) making sure that the saw chain cutters on the upper part of the guide bar (4) face towards the front (fig. U Guide the chain (5) around the guide bar (4) and pull it to create a loop to one side at the rear end of the guide bar (4). U Guide the chain (5) around the drive sprocket (14), line up the slot in the guide bar and the centre hole of the chain tensioning wheel (16) with the bolt (15) (fig. Note: rotate chain tensioning wheel as necessary to line centre hole with bolt (15). Make sure that the front guard/chain brake assembly (3) is in the set (forward) position before refitting (fig. U Make sure that the tab (17) on the chain cover assembly locates correctly into the slot (18) on the main housing (fig. U Check the tension - see 'Checking the chain tension' below. [. . . ] Maintenance Regular maintenance ensures a long effective life for the tool. Before performing any maintenance on power tools: u Switch off and disconnect the tool from the mains supply. Troubleshooting Problem Tool will not start Possible cause Lock button not pressed. Oil level The level in the reservoir should not be allowed to fall below a quarter full. [. . . ]
