When transporting the electric chain saw over long distances the power supply plug must be pulled out and the bar protection cover, included in the delivery, must be applied (20). Ensure safe positioning of the electric chain saw during car transportation to avoid oil leakage. Store the saw in a secure, dry, lockable room out of reach of children. For storing the electric chain saw over a long period of time or shipping it the oil tank must be completely emptied. Only use approved and marked containers for transporting and storing chain oil. For performing maintenance works switch of the electric chain saw, pull out the power supply plug and secure it (21). Before starting to work, always make sure that the saw is in safe working order, in particular the chain brake and run-out brake. Make sure that the saw chain is always sharpened and tightened correctly (22). Have the chain brake and run-out brake inspected regularly (see "Chain brake, run-out brake"). Regularly check the cable to the power supply for damage of the covering. Check the chain tension frequently - new chains tend to get longer during use!When checking the chain tension the motor must be switched off and the power supply plug pulled out. If the chain is too loose: Loosen the sprocket guard quick tightener by about a quarter turn. Tighten the chain as described under "Tighteneing the saw chain. " HINT: Use 2 or 3 saw chains alternately for even wear of the chains, sprocket and guide bar running surfaces. In order to guarantee a uniform wear of the groove in the bar the bar should be turned over whenever replacing the chain. I Chain brake These models come with a chain brake as standard equipment. If there is a kickback resulting from the guide bar tip impacting the wood (see SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, page 7), the back of the hand hitting the handguard will engage the chain brake. The chain will stop within a fraction of a second. Run-out brake The electric chain saw come with a run-out brake as standard equipment. The run-out brake ensures that the chain comes to a stop immediately when the ON/OFF switch is released, thus preventing the chain from continuing to run and presenting a hazard. Testing of the run-out brake is described on page 16. Chain and run-out brake maintenance SERVICE J The brake systems are very important safety features, and like any other part they are subject to a certain amount of wear.
