Frequently Asked Questions - FZD 5012-E Fieldmann

What type of oil should I use for the chain?

Use biodegradable chain oil or SAE 30 oil. Never use waste oil.

How often should I sharpen the chain?

Sharpen when the saw produces sawdust instead of chips. Typically after every 2-3 hours of heavy use.

The chain does not rotate. What could be wrong?

Check if the chain brake is engaged (push front guard back). Also ensure power cord is connected and the switch is activated.

How do I adjust chain tension?

Loosen the bar nuts, turn the tensioning screw clockwise to tighten, then retighten nuts. A properly tensioned chain should just contact the bottom of the bar when pulled.

Can I use an extension cord?

Yes, use a heavy-duty outdoor extension cord with a minimum cross-section of 1.5 mm² and a maximum length of 30 m.

Why does the saw smoke or smell?

Smoke may occur if the chain is too tight or dull. Also check for proper oil flow. A burning smell from the motor indicates overload; reduce cutting pressure.

How do I clean the air filter?

Remove the filter cover, take out the foam filter, wash it with warm soapy water, dry thoroughly, and reinstall. Do not use compressed air.

The chain oil is not feeding. What to do?

Check oil level, clean the oil outlet hole on the bar, and ensure the oil pump is not clogged. If still not working, contact service.

What safety gear should I wear?

Always wear safety goggles, hearing protection, non-slip gloves, chainsaw chaps, and sturdy boots. Keep bystanders at least 15 m away.

How do I store the chainsaw?

Empty oil tank, clean the saw, fit the bar guard, and store in a dry place away from children. If storing long-term, also drain fuel if it were a gas model (electric models have no fuel).

2. Remove the material that clogged the shredder.
3. Allow the motor to cool down for at least five minutes!
4. Press the safety fuse button (Fig. 6, point 4).
5. Reconnect the electrical power supply.
6. Turn on the shredder.

ATTENTION: To prevent accidents, to remove jammed objects, always use a hook or a stick.

8. SETTING UP AND WORKING WITH THE SHREDDER

SETTING THE COUNTER-BLADE DISTANCE

For efficient operation it is necessary to set the distance between the counter-blade (Fig. 7, point 2) and the cutting roller (Fig. 7, point 3). The gap between the cutting roller and the counter-blade should be as small as possible.
A correct setting will enable the effective shredding of all branch diameters.

Distance setting:

Turn on the machine.
To pull the counter-blade towards the cutting roller, slowly turn the setting screw clockwise (Fig. 7, point 1). Keep turning the screw until fine aluminium fillings start falling out of the ejection chute.

Note: Soft material or wet branches may be torn instead of being cut. This problem may also be caused by the counter-blade, which wears out after frequent use.

BEFORE TURNING ON

Make sure that:

Power cords are not damaged. If there are slits or cracks on a power cord, stop work and replace it immediately.
The machine is not damaged and all the screws are pulled tight.
The machine is completely and correctly assembled.

Check the power supply:

Make sure that the supply voltage corresponds to the rated voltage on the rating label and that the machine is properly grounded.
* Only use extension cords that have wires with a sufficient cross-section.

MATERIAL THAT THE SHREDDER CAN PROCESS

The shredder can process the following types of materials:

All types of branches up to the maximum diameter specified in the technical specifications.
* Garden waste such as wilted plants or wet grass (shred alternatively with branches).

The shredder MUST NOT process the following types of materials:

Glass, metals, plastics, rocks, ceramics, branches thicker than specified in the technical specifications, hard wood, thick wooden boards, fabrics, plastic bags, roots with soil.
Wastes that are almost in liquid form, e.g. kitchen scraps.

9. OPERATION

Place the material into the funnel from the right side.
Shred branches immediately after they are cut. When they dry out, they may become very hard.
Remove all lateral shoots from the branches if it is not possible to insert them into the shredder.
Avoid too much shredded material from accumulating in the collection box. Regularly empty the box because accumulated shredded material may block the ejection chute.
Do not insert material that is larger than the maximum branch diameter specified in the technical specifications.
Shredding wet garden waste (fallen leaves) will result in clogging. To prevent clogging, alternate the waste with material containing wood.
* Soft materials or wet branches may be torn instead of being cut. This problem may also be caused by a worn out counter-blade.
Before cleaning out the ejection chute, turn off the motor and disconnect the machine from the power supply.

10. MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

* Prior to inspecting or performing maintenance on the machine, check that it is turned off and disconnected from the power supply. Be careful, the cutting roller will not stop immediately after the machine is turned off, wait for all the parts to stop moving.
* Put on protective gloves before inspection or carrying out maintenance.
* Never use petrol, thinners, alcohol, etc. for cleaning. This could result in discolouration, deformation or cracking.
Only use a damp cloth and soft brush for cleaning the machine.
Do not use a hose or wash the machine with pressurised water.

After every work session, carry out the following maintenance:

* Check that all fastening screws and bolts are tightened (tighten them if necessary).

* Lubricate metal components to protect against corrosion.

* Maintain holes clean and free of dust.

The cutting roller and counter-blade wear out over time. If necessary, inform yourself about replacement at you nearest authorised service centre.
