5. Before starting the equipment

Danger: Do not start the engine until the saw is

fully assembled. Caution: Wear protective gloves at all times when handling the chain.

5.1 Fit the chain bar

To ensure that the bar and the chain are supplied with oil, USE ONLY THE ORIGINAL BAR. The oi- ling hole (Fig. 2/Item A) must be kept clear of dirt and any build-up of residue.

1. Make sure the Chain brake lever is pulled

back into the DISENGAGED position (Fig. 3A)

2. Remove the two bar fastening nuts (B). Re-

move the cover (Fig. 3B).

3. Run the adjustment screw (D) COUNTER-

CLOCKWISE until the TANG (E) (projecting prong) is to the end of its travel toward the clutch drum and sprocket (Fig. 3B/3C).

4. Fit the open end of the chain bar over the bar

pins (F). Align the bar such that the HINGE fi ts into the hole (G) in the chain bar (Fig. 3C/3D).

5.2 To install saw chain

1. Spread chain out in a loop with cutting edges

(A) pointing CLOCKWISE around loop (Fig. 4A).

2. Slip the chain around the sprocket (B) behind

the clutch (C). Make sure the links fi t between the sprocket teeth (Fig. 4B).

3. Guide the drive links into the groove (D) and

around the end of the bar (Fig. 4B). NOTE: The saw chain may droop slightly on the lower part of bar. This is normal.

4. Pull the chain bar forward until the chain is

closely seated. Make sure that all the drive links are in the groove of the bar.

5. Fit the coupling cover and fasten it with 2

screws. The chain must not slip off the bar when you do this. Make sure that the pin (Fig. 3C/Item E) fi ts into the hole in the chain bar (Fig. 3D/Item G). Tighten the two nuts by hand and then follow the instructions for adjusting the tension in the section ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION.

5.3 Saw chain tension adjustment

Proper tension of saw chain is extremely impor- tant and must be checked before starting, as well as during any cutting operation. Taking the time to make needed adjustments to the saw chain will result in improved cutting per- formance and prolonged chain life. Caution: Always wear heavy duty gloves when handling saw chain or making saw chain adjust- ments.

1. Hold nose of guide bar up and turn adjust-

ment screw (D) CLOCKWISE to increase chain tension. Turning screw COUNTER- CLOCKWISE will decrease amount of tensi- on on chain. Ensure the chain fi ts snugly all the way around the guide bar (Fig. 5).

2. After making adjustment, and while still hol-

ding nose of bar in the uppermost position, tighten the bar retaining nuts securely. Chain has proper tension when it has a snug fi t all around and can be pulled around by gloved hand. NOTE: If chain is diffi cult to rotate on guide bar or if it binds, too much tension has been applied. This requires minor adjustment as follows: A. Loosen the bar retaining nut so they are fi n- ger tight. Decrease tension by turning the bar adjustment screw COUNTERCLOCKWISE slowly. Move chain back and forth on bar. Continue to adjust until chain rotates freely, but fi ts snugly. Increase tension by turning bar adjustment screw CLOCKWISE. B. When saw chain has proper tension, hold nose of bar in the uppermost position and tighten the bar retaining nut securely. Note: A new saw chain stretches, requiring ad- justment after as few as 5 cuts. This is normal with a new chain, and the interval between future adjustments will lengthen quickly. Note: If the saw chain is TOO LOOSE or TOO TAUT, the drive wheel, chain bar, chain and crank shaft bearing will suff er premature wear. Fig. 6 shows the correct tension A (when cold) and ten- sion B (when warm). Fig. C shows a chain that is too loose.

5.4 Chain break mechanical test

Your chain saw is equipped with a Chain brake that reduces possibility of injury due to kickback. The brake is activated if pressure is applied against brake lever when, as in the event of kick- back, operator’s hand strikes the lever. When the brake is actuated, chain movement stops abruptly.

Danger: The purpose of the chain brake is to

reduce the possibility of injury due to kickback; however, it cannot provide the intended measure of protection if the saw is operated carelessly. Always test the chain brake before using your saw and periodically while on the job. To test chain brake

1. The Chain brake is DISENGAGED (chain

can move) when BRAKE LEVER IS PULLED BACK AND LOCKED (Fig. 7A).

2. The chain brake is ENGAGED (the chain is

locked) when the brake lever is pulled forward and the mechanism (Fig. 7B/Item A) can be seen. It should not be possible to move the chain (Fig. 7B).

Danger: The brake lever should snap into both

positions. If strong resistance is felt, or lever does not move into either position, do not use your saw. Take it immediately to a professional Service Center for repair.

5.5 Fuel and lubrication

Fuel Use regular grade unleaded gasoline mixed with 40:1 custom 2-cycle engine oil for best results. Mixing fuel Mix fuel with 2 cycle oil in an approved container. Shake container to ensure thorough mix. Note: Never use straight gasoline in your unit. This will cause permanent engine damage and void the manufacturer’s warranty for that product. Never use a fuel mixture that has been stored for over 90 days. Note: If 2-cycle lubricant is to be used, it must be a premium grade oil for 2-cycle air cooled engi- nes mixed at a 40:1 ratio. Do not use any 2-cycle oil product with a recommended mixing ratio of Anl_GMSE_2245_SPK7_Teil1.indb 24Anl_GMSE_2245_SPK7_Teil1.indb 24 05.08.14 10:1705.08.14 10:17GB

100:1. If insuffi cient lubrication is the cause of en- gine damage, it voids the manufacturer’s engine warranty for that occurrence. Gasoline and Oil Mix 40:1 Oil Only Recommended fuels Some conventional gasolines are being blended with oxygenates such as alcohol or an ether com- pound to meet clean air standards. Your engine is designed to operate satisfactorily on any gasoline intended for automotive use including oxygenated gasolines. It is recommended to use unleaded petrol as fuel. Lubrication of chain and chain bar Whenever you refi ll the fuel tank with petrol you must also top up the level of chain oil in the chain oil tank. It is recommended to use standard chain oil. Engine pre-start checks

Danger: Never start or operate the saw unless

the bar and chain are properly installed.

1. Fill the fuel tank (A) with correct fuel mixture

2. Fill the oil tank (B) with chain oil (Fig. 8).

3. Be certain the chain brake is disengaged (C)

before starting unit (Fig. 8). Once you have fi lled the chain and oil tank, tigh- ten the tank cover securely by hand. Do not use any tools to do so.

Before you use the equipment, check it for dama- ge. If you discover any damage, do not use it. The equipment may be started only when the chain brake is engaged. The chain brake is engaged when the brake lever is pressed forward and the mechanism (Fig. 7B/Item A) is visible.

6.4 General cutting instructions

Danger: Felling trees is prohibited without the

necessary training! Felling

Felling is the term for cutting down a tree. Small trees up to 6-7 inches (15-18cm) in diameter are usually cut in a single cut. Larger trees require notch cuts. Notch cuts determi- ne the direction the tree will fall.

A retreat path (A) should be planned and cleared as necessary before cuts are started. The retreat path should extend back and dia- gonally to the rear of the expected line of fall, as illustrated in Fig. 11. Anl_GMSE_2245_SPK7_Teil1.indb 25Anl_GMSE_2245_SPK7_Teil1.indb 25 05.08.14 10:1705.08.14 10:17GB

If felling a tree on sloping ground, the chain saw operator should keep on the uphill side of the terrain, as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after it is felled.

Direction of fall (B) is controlled by the not- ching cut. Before any cuts are made, consider the location of larger branches and natural lean of the tree to determine the way the tree will fall (Fig. 11).

Do not cut down a tree during high or chan- ging winds or if there is a danger to property. Consult a tree professional. Do not cut down a tree if there is a danger of striking utility wi- res; notify the utility company before making any cuts. General guidelines for felling trees (Fig. 12) Normally felling consists of 2 main cutting opera- tions, notching (C) and making the felling cut (D).

Start making the upper notch cut (C) on the side of the tree facing the felling direction (E). Be sure you don t make the lower cut too deep into the trunk. The notch (C) should be deep enough to create a hinge (F) of suffici- ent width and strength. The notch should be wide enough to direct the fall of the tree for as long as possible.

Never walk in front of a tree that has been notched. Make the felling cut (D) from the other side of the tree and 1.5 - 2.0 inches (3-5 cm) above the edge of the notch (C). Never saw completely through the trunk. Always leave a hinge. The hinge guides the tree. If the trunk is completely cut through, control over the felling direction is lost. Insert a wedge or felling lever in the cut well before the tree becomes unstable and starts to move. This will prevent the guidebar from binding in the felling cut if you have misjudged the falling direction. Make sure no bystanders have en- tered the range of the falling tree before you push it over.

Before making the final cut, always recheck the area for bystanders, animals or obstac- les. Felling cut

Use wooden or plastic wedges (A) to pre- vent binding the bar or chain (B) in the cut. Wedges also control felling (Fig. 13).

When diameter of wood being cut is greater than the bar length, make 2 cuts as shown (Fig. 14).

As the felling cut gets close to the hinge, the tree should begin to fall. When tree begins to fall, remove saw from cut, stop engine, put chain saw down, and leave area along retreat path (Fig. 11). Limbing

Limbing a tree is the process of removing the branches from a fallen tree. Do not remove supporting limbs (A) until after the log is bucked (cut) into lengths (Fig. 15). Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the chain saw.

Never cut tree limbs while standing on tree trunk. Bucking

Bucking is cutting a fallen log into lengths. Make sure you have a good footing and stand uphill of the log when cutting on sloping ground. If possible, the log should be suppor- ted so that the end to be cut off is not resting on the ground. If the log is supported at both ends and you must cut in the middle, make a downward cut halfway through the log and then make the undercut. This will prevent the log from pinching the bar and chain. Be care- ful that the chain does not cut into the ground when bucking as this causes rapid dulling of the chain. When bucking on a slope, always stand on the uphill side.

1. Log supported along entire length: Cut

from top (overbuck), being careful to avoid cutting into the ground (Fig. 16A).

2. Log supported on 1 end: First, cut

from bottom (underbuck) 1/3 diameter of log to avoid splintering. Second, cut from above (overbuck) to meet first cut and avoid pinching (Fig. 16B).

3. Log supported on both ends: First, over-

buck 1/3 diameter of log to avoid splintering. Second, underbuck to meet first cut and avo- id pinching (Fig. 16C).

The best way to hold a log while bucking is to use a sawhorse. When this is not possible, the log should be raised and supported by the limb stumps or by using supporting logs. Be sure the log being cut is securely supported. Bucking using a sawhorse (Fig. 17) For personal safety and ease of cutting, the cor- rect position for vertical bucking is essential A. Hold the saw fi rmly with both hands and keep the saw to the right of your body while cutting. B. Keep the left arm as straight as possible. C. Keep weight on both feet. Anl_GMSE_2245_SPK7_Teil1.indb 26Anl_GMSE_2245_SPK7_Teil1.indb 26 05.08.14 10:1705.08.14 10:17GB

Caution: When working with the saw, always make sure that the saw chain and chain bar are suffi ciently lubricated.

7. Cleaning, maintenance, storage

and ordering of spare parts Disconnect the spark plug boot before doing any cleaning and maintenance work!

Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.

We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.

Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. En- sure that no water can seep into the device.

Warning: All maintenance work on the chainsaw

apart from the work described in this manual may only be carried out by authorized after-sales ser- vice personnel.

7.2.1 Chain brake operational test

Test the chain brake periodically to ensure proper function. Perform a chain brake test prior to initial cutting, following extensive cutting, and defi nitely fol- lowing any Chain brake service. Test chain brake as follows (Fig. 10) :

1. Place saw on a clear, fi rm, fl at surface.

3. Grasp the rear handle (A) with your right

4. With your left hand, hold the front handle (B)

[not chain brake lever (C)] fi rmly.

5. Squeeze the throttle trigger to 1/3 throttle,

then immediately activate the chain brake lever (C).

Warning: Activate the chain brake slowly and de-

liberately. Keep the chain from touching anything; don’t let the saw tip forward.

6. Chain should stop abruptly. When it does, im-

mediately release the throttle trigger.

Warning: If chain does not stop, turn engine off

and take your unit to the nearest Talon Authorized Service Center for service.

7. If chain brake functions properly, turn the

engine off and return the chain brake to the DISENGAGED position.

Note: Never operate saw without the air fi lter. Dust and dirt will be drawn into engine and dama- ge it. Keep the air fi lter clean! The air fi lter must be cleaned or replaced after every 20 hours of service. Cleaning the air fi lter (Fig. 18A/18B)

1. Remove the top cover (A) by undoing the co-

ver fastening screw (B) on the cover. You can then remove the cover (Fig. 18A).

2. Lift out the air fi lter (C) (Fig. 18B).

3. Clean air fi lter. Wash fi lter in clean, warm,

soapy water. Rinse in clear, cool water. Air dry completely. Note: It is advisable to have a supply of spare fi lters.

4. Insert the air fi lter. Fit the cover for the engine/

air fi lter. Make sure that the cover fi ts perfectly when you do so. Tighten the fastening screw for the cover.

Note:Never use the saw without a fuel fi lter. After 100 hours in operation the fuel fi lter should be cleaned or, in case of damage, replaced. Be sure to empty the fuel tank before changing the fi lter.

1. Remove the fuel tank cap.

2. Bend a piece of soft wire.

3. Reach into fuel tank opening and hook fuel

line. Carefully pull the fuel line toward the ope- ning until you can reach it with your fi ngers. Note: Do not pull hose completely out of tank.

4. Lift fi lter (A) out of tank (Fig. 19).

5. Pull off the fi lter with a twist and clean it; if the

fi lter is damaged, dispose of it.

6. Insert a new fi lter. Place one end of the fi lter

into the tank opening. Make sure that the fi lter is seated in the lower corner of the tank. If ne- Anl_GMSE_2245_SPK7_Teil1.indb 27Anl_GMSE_2245_SPK7_Teil1.indb 27 05.08.14 10:1705.08.14 10:17GB

cessary, use a long screwdriver to move the fi lter to its correct position, taking care not to damage in the process.

7. Fill tank with fresh fuel / oil mixture. See Sec-

Note: To ensure that the saw’s engine retains its power, the spark plug must be clean and have the correct electrode gap (0.6 mm). The spark plug must be cleaned or replaced after every 20 hours of service.

1. Set the On/Off switch to Stop (0)”.

2. Remove the top cover (A) by undoing the co-

ver fastening screw (B) on the cover. You can then remove the cover (Fig. 18A).

3. Remove the air fi lter (Fig. 18B/Item C)

4. Disconnect the ignition cable (D) from the

spark plug by pulling and twisting it simulta- neously (Fig. 18B).

5. Remove the spark plug using a spark plug

wrench. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER TOOLS.

6. Clean the spark plug with a copper wire brush

The carburetor has been set to its perfect adjust- ment at the factory. If it requires adjusting, take the saw to your nearest authorized after-sales service outlet. Setting the idling speed: Note: Set the idling speed when the machine is warm. If the engine stalls when the throttle is not pressed and you have ruled out all the other cau- ses listed in section 9 Troubleshooting, the idling speed must be adjusted. To do this turn the idling speed screw (Fig. 19/Item B) clockwise until the machine runs smoothly at idling speed. If the idling speed is so fast that the cutting tool turns as well, it has to be reduced by turning the idling speed screw counter-clockwise (Fig. 19/ Item B) for as long as is required for the cutting tool to stop turning as well.

7.2.6 Chain bar maintenance

Regular lubrication of the chain bar (guide rail for the chain and teeth) is essential. The chain bar needs the maintenance described in the following section in order for the saw to work at an optimum level of performance. Note: The sprocket tip on your new saw has been pre-lubricated at the factory. Failure to lubricate the guide bar sprocket tip as explained below will result in poor performance and seizure, voiding the manufacturer’s warranty. Tools for lubrication The Lube Gun (optional) is recommended for applying grease to the guide bar sprocket tip. The Lube Gun is equipped with a needle nose tip which is necessary for the effi cient application of grease to the sprocket tip. To lubricate sprocket tip Lubrication of the sprocket tip is recommended after 10 hours of use or once a week, which ever occurs fi rst. Always thoroughly clean guide bar sprocket tip before lubrication. Note: The saw chain does not have to be remo- ved in order to lubricate the teeth of the chain bar. Lubrication is possible during work, with the engine switched off . Caution: Wear heavy duty work gloves when handling the bar and chain.

nose into the lubrication hole and inject grea- se until it appears at outside edge of sprocket tip (Fig .20).

4. Rotate saw chain by hand. Repeat lubrication

procedure until the entire sprocket tip has been greased. Most guide bar problems can be prevented me- rely by keeping the chain saw well maintained. Insuffi cient guide bar lubrication and operating the saw with chain that is TOO TIGHT will contri- bute to rapid bar wear. To help minimize bar wear, the following guide bar maintenance procedures are recommended. Caution: Always wear protective gloves during maintenance operations. Do not carry out mainte- nance when the engine is hot. Turning the chain bar The bar should be reversed every 8 working hours to ensure uniform wear. Keep the bar groove and lubrication hole clean using the bar groove cleaner supplied optional. (Fig. 21A) Check the bar rails frequently for wear and, if ne- cessary, remove the burs and square-up the rails using the fl at fi le. (Fig. 21B) Anl_GMSE_2245_SPK7_Teil1.indb 28Anl_GMSE_2245_SPK7_Teil1.indb 28 05.08.14 10:1705.08.14 10:17GB

Caution: Never fi t a new chain to a worn chain bar. Oil passages Oil passages on the bar should be cleaned to en- sure proper lubrication of the bar and chain during operation. Note: The condition of the oil passages can be easily checked. If the passages are clear, the chain will automatically give off a spray of oil within seconds of starting the saw. Your saw is equipped with an automatic oiler system. Automatic chain lubrication. The chain saw is equipped with an automatic oil lubrication system with a toothed wheel drive. It automatically supplies the bar and the chain with the right quantity of oil. The moment the engine is accelerated, the oil also starts to fl ow through the bar plate more quickly as well. The chain lubrication system has been set to its perfect adjustment at the factory. If it requires adjusting, take the saw to your nearest authorized after-sales service outlet. A setting screw for adjusting the chain lubrication (Fig. 26/ Item A) is located on the underside of the chain saw. Turning the screw counter-clockwise increases the chain lubrication, turning it clockwi- se decreases the chain lubrication. To check the chain lubrication, hold the chain saw, with the chain, over a piece of paper and run it at full speed for a few seconds. You will be able to judge the set amount of oil from the paper.

7.2.7 Chain maintenance

Chain sharpening Chain sharpening requires special tools to ensure that cutters are sharpened at the correct angle and depth. For the inexperienced chain saw user, we recommend that the saw chain be professio- nally sharpened by the nearest professional Ser- vice Center. If you feel comfortable sharpening your own saw chain, special tools are available from the professional Service Center. Chain sharpening (Fig. 23) Sharpen the chain using protective gloves and a round fi le of ø3/16” (4.8mm). Always sharpen the cutters only with outward strokes (Fig. 23) observing the values given in Fig. 22. After sharpening, the cutting links must all have the same width and length. Note: A sharp chain produces well-defi ned chips. When your chain starts to produce sawdust, it is time to sharpen. After the blades have been sharpened 3-4 times, check the height of the depth limiter and if neces- sary lower it with a fl at fi le and then round off the front corner (Fig. 24). Chain tension Check the chain tension frequently and adjust as often as necessary to keep the chain snug on the bar, but loose enough to be pulled around by hand. (see also point 5.3) Breaking in a new saw chain A new chain and bar will need chain readjustment after as few as 5 cuts. This is normal during the break-in period, and the interval between future adjustments will begin to lengthen quickly. Note: Never have more than 3 links removed from a loop of chain. This could cause damage to the sprocket. Chain lubrication Always make sure the automatic oiler system is working properly. Keep the oil tank fi lled with Chain, Bar and Sprocket Oil. Adequate lubrication of the bar and chain during cutting operations is essential to minimize friction with the guide bar. Never starve the bar and chain of lubricating oil. Running the saw dry or with too little oil will de- crease cutting effi ciency, shorten saw chain life, cause rapid dulling of chain, and lead to exces- sive wear of bar from overheating. Too little oil is evidenced by smoke or bar discoloration.

Note: Never put a chain saw into storage for longer than 30 days without carrying out the fol- lowing steps. Storing a chain saw Storing a chain saw for longer than 30 days re- quires storage maintenance. Unless the storage instructions are followed, fuel remaining in the carburetor will evaporate, leaving gum-like depo- sits. This could lead to diffi cult starting and result in costly repairs. Anl_GMSE_2245_SPK7_Teil1.indb 29Anl_GMSE_2245_SPK7_Teil1.indb 29 05.08.14 10:1705.08.14 10:17GB

material or manufacturing fault and is limited to the rectifi cation of such defects or the replacement of the device at our discretion. Please note that our devices are not designed for use in commercial, trade or professional applica- tions.
