General Safety Directions for Power Tools

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - General Safety Directions for Power Tools - 1

WARNING! Read all safety notices, instructions, illustrations and technical data that have been provided with this power tool. Omissions in the compliance with safety directions and instructions can cause electrical shock, fire and/or severe injuries.

Retain all safety directions and instructions for future use.

The term „power tool“ in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool).

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of fl ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a RCD (Residual Current Device). Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) 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 infl u-

ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention white operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your fi nger on the switch or energising pow- er tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If dust extraction and collection devices can be installed, make sure that these are connected and used correctly. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

h) Do not allow yourself to be lulled into a false sense of security and do not disregard the safety rules for power tools,

even if you are familiar with the power tool after using it many times. Careless action can lead to serious injuries within a fraction of a second.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Remove the plug from the wall socket and/or remove the rechargeable battery before you change the device's settings, change accessory parts or put away the power tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Look after the power tool and application tool carefully. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and

clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

h) Keep handles and grip surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grip surfaces do not permit safe operation and control over the power tool in unexpected situations.

5) Careful handling and use of battery devices

a) Charge the batteries only in chargers that are recommended by the manufacturer. Risk of fire if a charger that is suitable for a specific type of battery is used with other batteries.

b) In the power tools, use only the batteries designed for the purpose. The use of other batteries may result in injuries and risk of fire.

c) Keep the unused battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small metal objects, which could cause bridging of the contacts. A short circuit between the battery contacts may cause burns or fire.

d) If used incorrectly, liquid may leak from the battery. Avoid contact with this. In the event of accidental contact, rinse off with water. If the liquid gets into eyes, seek medical assistance. Leaking battery fluid may cause skin irritations or burns.

e) Do not use damaged or altered batteries. Damaged or altered batteries can be unpredictable and lead to fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose batteries to fi re or elevated temperatures. Fire or temperatures over 130 °C can cause an explosion.
g) Follow all instructions for charging and never charge the battery or the battery-powered tool outside the temperature range stated in the operating instructions. Incorrect charging or charging outside the permitted temperature range may destroy the battery and increase the risk of fire.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b) Never repair damaged batteries. All battery repairs should be carried out by the manufacturer or authorised customer service centres only.

General safety instructions for chainsaws

a) Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chain saw is operating. Before you start the chain saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention white operating chain saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
b) Always hold the chain saw with

your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done.

c) Hold the chainsaw only by the insulated gripping surfaces, as the saw chain may come into contact with concealed power lines. Contact with a live wire by the saw chain can also cause a charge in metal parts of the device and result in an electric shock.
d) Wear eye protection. Further protective equipment for the ears, head, hands, legs and feet is recommended. Contact between the saw chain and a live cable may render metallic components live and result in an electric shock.
e) Do not use the chainsaw to work from trees, ladders, a roof or other unstable surfaces. Operating the device in such a way poses a serious risk of injury.
f) Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when standing on fi xed, secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain saw.
g) When cutting a branch that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood fi bres is released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the chain saw out of control.
h) Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

i) Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw switched off and away from your body. When transporting or storing the chain saw always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
j) Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
k) Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not intended. For example: do not use chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the chain saw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation
I) Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have a clear understanding of the risks and how to avoid them. The user or other persons can be seriously injured by a falling tree.

Kickback causes and how to avoid them

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Kickback causes and how to avoid them - 1

Beware of kickback! Be careful of kickback of the machine during work. There is danger of injury here. You can avoid kickbacks by exercising caution and using a correct sawing technique.

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Kickback causes and how to avoid them - 2

text_image Fig. 1 (a) (b)

Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut (cf. image 1/fi g. B). Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator (cf. image 1/fi g. A).

Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.

Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

Kickback is caused by wrongly or incorrectly operating the chainsaw. It can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

a) Maintain a fi rm grip, with thumbs and fi ngers encircling the chain saw handles, with both hands on the saw and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.

b) Do not overreach and do not cut

above shoulder height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected situations.

c) Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
d) Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.

Further safety directions

  • Comply carefully with maintenance, control and service instructions in this manual.
    Damaged protective devices and parts have to be repaired or changed except as noted otherwise in this manual.
  • It is recommended that a first-time user at least practice the cutting of logs on a saw log or frame.
  • For sowing work on hillsides, always stand in the area above the log. To keep total control while sawing through, reduce the pressure at the end of the cut without loosening your grip on the handles of the electric chain saw. Make sure the saw chain does not touch the ground. After finishing the cut, wait until the electric chain saw comes to a halt before removing it. Always shut off the engine of the electric chain saw before switching between trees.

- Dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, clips and wires must be removed from the tree.

- Do not use any accessories that are not recommended by PARK-SIDE. This can result in electric shock or fire.

Residual risks

Even if properly operating and handling this electric tool, some residual risks will remain. Due to its construction and build, this electric tool may present the following hazards:

a) Cuts
b) Ear damage if working without ear protection.
c) Damage to your health caused by swinging your hands and arms when operating the appliance for longer periods of time or if the unit is not held or maintained properly.

Assembly

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Assembly - 1

Always wear protective gloves when working with the chainsaw and employ only original parts. Pull out the power plug before doing any work on the chainsaw itself – injury hazard!

Before putting the electric chain saw into operation, you must:

  • adjust the saw chain tension,
  • pour in chain oil,
  • Charge and insert the battery
  • check the function of the chain brake and the automatic oil pump.

Mounting the saw chain and blade

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Mounting the saw chain and blade - 1

Switch off the device and remove the battery before carrying out any maintenance work.

  1. Lay the saw on a fl at surface.
  2. Turn the fastening bolt (10) anti-clockwise (→) to remove the sprocket chain wheel covering (12).
  3. Spread the chain (7) out into a loop with the cutting edges running clockwise. Use the graphical symbol on the blade or below the chain sprocket (20) as a guide to align the saw chain (7).

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Mounting the saw chain and blade - 2

Direction of travel of the saw chain

  1. Slide the saw chain (7) into the bar guide groove. To mount the guide bar, raise it to an angle of approx. 45 degrees. This will make it easier to replace the saw chain (7) onto the sprocket (20).
  2. Place the chain bar (8) and saw chain (7) on the bar bolts (19). When the pin (19a) to the right of the coach screw (19) sits in the slotted recess on the blade, the blade is placed correctly. It is normal that the saw chain (7) is slack.
  3. Position the sprocket chain wheel covering (12). The chain tensioner pin (21) on the inside of the sprocket cover (12) must be guided into the chain tension pin holder (22).
  4. Pre-tension the saw chain (7) by turning the screw for the chain quick-tensioning system (11) in clockwise direction.
  5. Tighten the fastening bolt (10) (→).

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Mounting the saw chain and blade - 3

Note that the saw can re-oil.

Please note that the saw re-oils after use and oil may leak out if it is stored on its side or on the head. This is a normal process due to the necessary ventilation opening on the upper edge of the tank and does not constitute a reason for complaint. As each saw is checked during production and tested with oil, a small residue may be in the tank despite draining, which may slightly dirty the housing with oil in transit. Please clean the housing with a cloth.

Prior to changing the chain, the nut of the guide rail must be cleaned of dirt because dirt deposits available can cause the chain to break out of the rail. The deposits can

also absorb the chain oil. So the consequence would be that the chain oil would not or only a small part of it would reach the underside of the rail and the lubrication would be reduced.

Tensioning the saw chain

Regularly tightening the saw chain provides safety for the user and reduces and/or prevents wear and chain damages.

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.

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Tensioning the saw chain - 1

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 signifi cant 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.

  1. Tighten up the fastening bolt (10) again (→).

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - GBMT - 4

With a new saw chain, you must readjust the chain tension after at least 5 cutting operations.

Chain lubrication

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Chain lubrication - 1

The rail and chain must never be without oil. If the cordless chainsaw is used with too little oil, the cutting performance and lifespan of the saw chain will decrease as the chain will become blunt more quickly. You can identify a case of too little oil where smoke development or discoloration of the rail occurs.

The chainsaw is equipped with an automatic oiling system. As soon as the motor is speeded up, the oil also flows faster to the chain bar (8).

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Chain lubrication - 2

Switch off the device and remove the battery before carrying out any maintenance work.

Filling up with chain oil:

  • Check the oil fi ll level and regularly top up with oil (13).
  • Use bio-oil; this product contains additives that reduce wear and tear and does not damage the pump system. You can order this from our online shop (see "Spare parts/Accessories").
  • If you have no bio-oil available, use chain lubrication oil with low adhesive additive content.
    • Empty the oil tank before longer periods (6-8 weeks) of non-use.

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Filling up with chain oil: - 1

Sawing techniques

General

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - General - 1

Observe the noise protection and local regulations when cutting wood. Local requirements may require a suitability test. Ask the forestry commission.

  • Dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire must be removed from the tree.
  • For sawing work on a slope, always stand above the tree trunk.
  • To keep control at the moment of "sawing through", reduce the contact pressure at the end of the cut without loosening the firm grip on the chainsaw handles. Ensure that the saw chain does not come into contact with the ground.
  • After completing the cut, wait for the chainsaw to come to a standstill before removing the chainsaw.
  • Always switch off the chainsaw motor before moving from one tree to another.
  • Lay the connecting lead such that it will not be caught on branches or similar during sawing.
  • For each cut, apply the claw stop securely and only then start sawing.
  • You have better control when you saw with the bottom side of the chain bar (with pulling saw chain) and not to with the top side of the chain bar (with pushing saw chain).
  • The saw chain must not contact either the ground or another object during sawing through or after sawing completion.
    • Make sure that the saw chain does not become jammed in the wood. Do not

let the tree trunk break or split off.

  • Consider also the precautions against spring-back (see notes on safety).
  • For sawing work on a slope, always stand above the tree trunk. To keep control at the moment of “sawing through”, reduce the contact pressure at the end of the cut without loosening the fi rm grip on the chainsaw handles. Ensure that the saw chain does not come into contact with the ground. After completing the cut, wait for the chainsaw to come to a standstill before removing the chainsaw. Always switch off the chainsaw motor before moving from one tree to another.

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - General - 2

If the saw chain jams, you do not attempt to pull out the electric chainsaw using power. There is a danger of injury here. Switch off the motor and use a lever or wedge to free the electric chainsaw.

Bucking

This refers to sawing up a felled tree trunk into smaller sections.

Ensure that you are in a secure position and that your body weight is distributed evenly on both feet. If possible, underpin and support the stem with branches, beams or wedges.

  • Ensure that the saw chain does not come in contact with the ground during sawing.
  • Make sure you have a secure stance and, in the case of sloping ground, stand above the log. To maintain full control at the moment of "sawing through", reduce the contact pressure at the end of the cut, without releasing the firm grip on the chain

saw handles. Once cutting is complete, wait for the saw chain to come to a standstill before removing the chain saw from there. Always switch off the chain saw before changing from tree to tree.

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Bucking - 1

1. Log is lying on the ground:

Saw through the log completely from above and ensure at the end of the cut not to contact the ground.

If you can turn the tree trunk, saw two-thirds of the way through it. Then turn the trunk around and saw the rest of the way through from above.

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Log is lying on the ground: - 1

2. Log is supported at one end:

Start sawing from the bottom and work your way up (with the upper edge of the bar) a third of the way into the diameter of the trunk to prevent splitting. Then saw from the top downwards with the lower edge of the bar towards the first cut to prevent the bar from becoming jammed in the wood.

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Log is supported at one end: - 1

3. Log is supported at both ends:

Start from the top and work down (with the lower edge of the bar) to a third of the diameter of the trunk. Then saw from underneath with the upper edge of the bar until the two cuts meet.

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Log is supported at both ends: - 1

4. Sawing on a sawhorse:

Hold the electric chainsaw steady with both hands, keeping the saw in front of you while sawing. Once the saw is through the wood, guide the machine passed you on the right (1). Hold your left arm as straight as you can (2). Watch out for the falling trunk.

Position yourself to prevent any danger from the separated trunk. Watch your feet. The trunk may cause injuries when falling. Keep your balance (3).

N Limbing

Limbing is the designation for the sawing off of branches and boughs from a felled tree.

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - N Limbing - 1

Many accidents occur during the removal of branches. Never cut tree limbs when you are standing on the log. Keep the spring-back area in mind if branches are under tension.

  • Do not remove support branches until after the sawing off.
  • Branches under tension must be sawed from below to above, in order to prevent jamming of the chainsaw.
    When working on thicker branches, use the same technique as when you are sawing up a felled trunk.
  • Work to the left of the log and as near as possible to the electric chainsaw. As far as possible, the weight of the saw should rest on the log.
  • Change position to saw off branches on the other side of the trunk.
  • Branches sticking out are cut off separately.(see N).

Felling trees

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Felling trees - 1

A lot of experience is necessary in felling trees. Cut down trees only when you can safely handle the electric chainsaw. In no case should you use the electric chainsaw if you feel unsure about anything.

- Ensure that no people or animals are in the fi eld of action. The safety distance between the tree to be felled and the nearest-located workplace must be 2 ½ tree lengths.

• Note the felling direction:

The user must be able to move safely near the felled tree, to saw off the tree easily and remove branches. It is to be avoided that the felled tree snags itself on another tree. Note the natural felling direction, which is dependent on the slope and curvature characteristic of the tree, wind direction and the number of branches.

  • In the case of sloping ground, stand above the tree to be felled.
  • Small trees, with a diameter of 15-18 cm, can usually be sawn off with one cut.
  • In case of trees with a larger diameter, a notched cut and a back cut must be implemented (siehe „P 3. Cutting notch“ and „P 4. Felling back cut“).
  • If cutting and felling is being carried out by two or more persons simultaneously, the distance between the felling and cutting persons must be at least twice the height of the tree to be fellled. When felling trees, ensure that no other persons are subject to hazards and that no material damage is caused. If a tree should come into contact with a power line, the supply company must be informed immediately.
  • Dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, clips and wires must be removed from the tree.

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Felling trees - 2

Do not fell any trees when a strong or changing wind is blowing, if the danger of property damage exists or if the tree could fall on electric wires.

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Felling trees - 3

Immediately after termination of the sawing procedure, remove the ear protection so that you can hear hooter and alarm signals.

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Felling trees - 4

1. Removal of branches:

Remove hanging branches by positioning the cut from above the branch. With removal of branches, never work higher than shoulder level.

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Removal of branches: - 1

2. Escape area:

Remove the undergrowth around the tree to ensure an easy escape. The escape area (1) should be around 45^ either side behind the planned felling direction (2).

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Escape area: - 1

3. Cutting notch (A):

Make a felling notch in the direction in which you wish the tree to fall. Start with the bottom, horizontal cut. The cut depth should be around 1/3 of the trunk diameter. This will prevent the saw chain or the guard rails from jamming when placing the second chamfer. Now make a slanted saw cut from above at an angle of roughly 45° to meet exactly with the bottom saw cut.

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Cutting notch (A): - 1

Never step in front of a tree which is notched.

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Never step in front of a tree which is notched. - 1

4. Felling back cut (B):

Make the back cut from the other side of the log, where you stand to the left of the log and saw with the chainsaw pulling. The back cut must run horizontally 5 cm above the horizontal notched cut.

The back cut should be so deep that the separation distance between the back cut and the notch

cutting line is at least 1/10 of the trunk diameter. The part of the stem not sawn through is called a stay (felling gib). The stay prevents the tree from turning and falling in the wrong direction. Do not saw through the stay.

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Felling back cut (B): - 1

  1. As you approach the felling cut on the stay the tree should start falling. If it becomes apparent that the tree may not fall in the required direction or is leaning back, and the saw chain is jamming, stop felling and use wedges made of wood, plastic or aluminium to open the cut and to tilt the tree in the required felling line.

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Felling back cut (B): - 2

  1. If the trunk diameter is larger than the length of the chain bar, make two cuts.

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Felling back cut (B): - 3

For safety reasons, we advise inexperienced users not to fell any logs with a rail length which is smaller than the trunk diameter.

  1. After carrying out of the back cut, the tree falls by itself or with the aid of the felling wedge or crowbar.

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - For safety reasons, we advise inexperienced users not to fell any logs with a rail length which is smaller than the trunk diameter. - 1

As soon as the tree begins to fall, pull out the saw from the section, stop the motor, place the chainsaw down and leave the workplace using the withdrawal path. Pay attention to falling branches and do not stumble.

Maintenance and cleaning

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Maintenance and cleaning - 1

Maintenance and cleaning work must always be carried out with the motor switched off and the batteries removed. Danger of injury! Leave any maintenance and servicing work not covered by this manual to our Service-Center. Use only original spare parts. Allow the machine to cool down before all maintenance and cleaning works. Danger of burn injuries!

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Maintenance and cleaning - 2

Use cut-protection gloves when handling the chain or the chain bar. Risk of cuts!

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Maintenance and cleaning - 3

Switch off the device and remove the battery before carrying out any maintenance work.

Cleaning

  • Clean the machine thoroughly after every use. In this way, you extend the life of the machine and avoid accidents.
  • Keep the gripping handles free of petrol, oil or grease. Clean the gripping handles, where appropriate, with a moist cloth soaked in soap. Use no solvents or petrol for cleaning!
  • Clean the saw chain after every use. Use a paint brush or wipe for that. Do not use any liquids to clean the chain. After cleaning, oil the chain lightly with chain oil.
  • Clean the ventilation slots and the surfaces of the machine with a paint

brush, whisk or dry cloth. Do not use any liquids for cleaning.

Oiling the saw chain

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Oiling the saw chain - 1

Clean and oil the chain regularly. In this way, you keep the chain sharp and get optimum machine performance. In case of damage due to inadequate maintenance of the saw chain, the guarantee claim is invalid. Remove the battery and use cut-resistant gloves when working with the chain or with the blade.

  • Oil the chain after cleaning, after 10 hours of use or at least once weekly, depending on which comes first.
  • Before oiling, the chain bar must be cleaned thoroughly, in particular the teeth of the rail. Use a whisk and a dry cloth for that.
  • Oil the individual chain links with the aid of an oil suction gun with pinpoint tip (available in the specialist trade). Place individual oil drops onto the articulated links and onto the tooth tips of the individual chain links.

Sharpening the saw chain

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Sharpening the saw chain - 1

An incorrectly sharpened saw chain increases the danger of spring-back! Use cut-protection gloves when you are handling the chain or the chain bar.

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Sharpening the saw chain - 2

A sharp chain guarantees an optimal cutting performance. It eats effortlessly through the wood and leaves large, long wooden chips. A saw chain is blunt if you have to

press the cutting equipment through the wood and the wooden chips are very small. In the case of a very blunt saw chain, no chip cuttings result at all, only sawdust.

  • The sawing parts of the chain are the cutting elements, which consist of a cutting tooth and a depth limiting projection. The vertical separation distance between these two determines the sharpness depth.
  • The following values must be noted in sharpening the cutting teeth:

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Sharpening the saw chain - 3

- Sharp edge angle (30°)

  • Breast angle (85°)
  • Apex angle (60°)
  • Sharpness depth (0.65 mm)
  • Round fi le diameter (4.0 mm)

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Sharpening the saw chain - 4

Deviations from the measurement data of the cutting geometry can lead to an increase of the spring-back slope of the machine. Increased danger of accident!

Special tools are necessary for sharpening the chain, which guarantee that the cutting edges are sharpened at the correct angle and to the correct depth. For the inexperienced user of chainsaws, we recommend to have the saw chain sharpened by a specialist or a specialist workshop. If you are familiar with the sharpening of the chain, you can purchase the tools, for example from Parkside (e.g. chain sharpener).

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Deviations from the measurement data of the cutting geometry can lead to an increase of the spring-back slope of the machine. Increased danger of accident! - 1

  1. Remove the saw chain (refer to the section on operating the saw). The chain should be well-tensioned to ensure proper sharpening.

  2. For the sharpening, a round fi le with 4.0 mm diameter is necessary.

PARKSIDE PKSA 20-Li C3 - Deviations from the measurement data of the cutting geometry can lead to an increase of the spring-back slope of the machine. Increased danger of accident! - 2

Other diameters damage the chain and can lead to danger during work!

  1. Sharpen only from the inside to the outside. Guide the fi le from the inner side of the cutting teeth to the outer side. Lift the fi le when you are withdrawing it.
  2. Sharpen first the teeth on one side. Turn the saw around and sharpen the teeth of the other side.
  3. The chain is worn and must be replaced by a new saw chain if only approx. 4 mm of the cutting teeth is remaining.
  4. After the sharpening, all cutting elements must now be equal in length and width.
  5. After every third sharpening, the sharpness depth (depth limitation) must be checked and the height fi led with the aid of a fl at fi le. The depth limitation should be set back about 0.65 mm from the cutting tooth. After the setting back of depth limitation, round it off a little at the front.

Adjusting the chain tension

The adjustment of the chain tension is described in the chapter "Assembly - tensioning chainsaw".

  • Switch off the device and remove the battery (16) from the device
  • Check the chain tension regularly and re-adjust this as often as possible. When the saw chain is tensioned with 9 N (approx. 1 kg), the gap between the

GBMT

saw chain and the guide rail may not be more than 2 mm.

Starting up a new saw chain

In the case of a new chain, the tensioning force decreases after some time. Therefore, you have to re-tension the chain after the first 5 cuts and no later than after 10 minutes' sawing time.

Storage

  • Clean the equipment before putting it away.
  • Put on saw bar protection sheath.
  • Always empty the oil tank before pauses in operation lasting several weeks because the bio chain oil can become resinous and block the oil outlet channel (H 24).
    Dispose of used oil in an environmentally-responsible way (see „Disposal/Environmental Protection“).
  • Store the appliance in a dry place well out of reach of children

Waste disposal and environmental protection

Remove the battery from the device and take the device, battery, accessories and packaging for environmentally friendly recycling. Instruction on how to dispose of the rechargeable battery and charger can be found in the separate instruction manual.

Li-Ion

Do not dispose of batteries in household waste, fi re (risk of explosion) or water. Damaged batteries may damage the environment and your health if toxic fumes or liquids leak out.

Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment: Consumers are legally obliged to recycle electrical and electronic equipment in an environmentally sound manner at the end of its life. In this way, environmentally friendly and resource-saving recycling is ensured.

Depending on the implementation in national law, you may have the following options:

  • Return to a shop,
  • Hand over to an offi cial collection point,

- Return to the manufacturer/distributor. This does not affect accessories enclosed with the old devices or tools without any electrical components.

  • Defective or used batteries must be recycled in accordance with Directive 2006/66/EC.
  • Dispose of batteries in discharged condition. We recommend covering the pole with adhesive tape to prevent a short circuit. Do not open up the battery.
  • Dispose of batteries in accordance with the local regulations. Take batteries to an old battery collection point where they will be recycled in an environmentally friendly manner. For information about this, ask your local waste management company or our service centre.
