User manual DOLMAR ES-173 A

[. . . ] Always follow safety precautions in the Owner's and Safety Manual. Thank you for your trust in our product We congratulate you on your new DOLMAR electric chain saw. DOLMAR electric chain saws are characterized by their robust, high-efficiency motors and high chain velocities which allow an excellent cutting efficiency. They are equipped with numerous state-of-the-art safety devices, are light, handy and can be put into operation immediately wherever electric power is provided. [. . . ] Only if the motor is switched off and the power supply plug is pulled out!Thoroughly clean the oil tank around the cap to prevent dirt from entering the tank. Unscrew the tank cap (1) and fill in chain oil until it is on a level with the bottom edge of the filler socket. Before operating the saw for the first time, the oil feed system must be completely filled, until the chain oil lubricates the chain and guide bar. In order to ensure sufficient lubrication of the saw chain there must always be enough oil in the tank. Lubricating the saw chain Only if the motor is switched off and the power supply plug is pulled out!To guarantee a troublefree operation of the oil pump the oil guide groove (3) as well as the oil inlet bore in the guide bar (4) must be cleaned in regular intervals. Note: After the saw has been turned off it is normal for residual chain oil to drip from the oil feed system, the guide bar and the chain for a time. This will eventually lead to poor lubrication, and faster wear to the chain and guide bar. If the chain is no longer getting enough lubrication, the chain oil filter (6) will need to be cleaned or replaced. Using a small screwdriver, carefully remove the serrated washer (7) and chain oil filter (6). Plug in the chain saw and let it run until the chain oil comes out the oil outlet hole. When the oil filter cannot be secured with the serrated washer, replace the serrated washer with a new one. Put the guide bar, chain, and sprocket guard back on (see PUTTING INTO OPERATION). Before connecting the saw to a source of electricity, always make sure to check that when the ON/OFF switch (1) has been pressed in and released, it automatically comes back out to the "off" position. If it does not, do not under any circumstances connect the saw to a power source - do not plug it in. Take the saw to a DOLMAR service center before doing any work with it. Clip the extension cord and the saw's power cord into the cord grip (2). Using the chain saw Always be sure of you footing and hold the chain saw firmly with both hands while the motor is running. When switching on the electric chain saw always hold it with both hands. Take the back handle with the right hand and the tubular handle with the left hand. When the chain brake is actuated the power supply to the motor will be cut off.

Turn over after a certain period of time so that the bearing surfaces are uniformly worn. After a long storage time, have the electric chain saw checked at a service center (residual oil can become resinic and the valve of the oil pump clogged). The maintenance and repair work of modern electric motors as well as all safety related assemblies require qualified technical training and the availability of a special workshop equipped with special tools and testing devices.
