Frequently Asked Questions - 004-907 Meec Tools

How do I tension the chain on the Meec Tools 004-907?

Loosen the bar nut about 1 turn, lift the bar tip, turn the chain tensioning screw until the chain rests against the underside of the bar but can still be pulled easily by hand, then retighten the nut.

What type of oil should I use for the chain?

Use biodegradable vegetable chain oil to minimize environmental impact. Avoid using motor oil or other inappropriate lubricants.

How often should I sharpen the chain?

Sharpen when the chain becomes dull. Typically, after 3-4 sharpenings, check and file down the rakers. Use a round file of correct size (see manual) and always file from inside out.

How do I prevent kickback?

Never let the tip of the bar touch wood or other objects. Always hold the saw firmly with both hands, use the chain brake, and saw with the pulling chain technique (underside of bar).

What should I do if the chain brake doesn't work?

Do not use the saw. Take it to an authorized service center for repair. The chain brake must stop the chain immediately when activated.

Can I use an extension cord?

Yes, but only use an extension cord approved for outdoor use and with a cross-sectional area adequate for the saw's power (230V, 1600W). Keep the cord behind you.

How do I check chain lubrication?

Start the saw and hold the bar about 15 cm over a clean surface for 15 seconds. If oil splashes on the surface, lubrication is working. Also check oil level in sight glass.

How should I store the chain saw?

Allow the saw to cool, then store horizontally in a dry place out of reach of children. Remove the chain if storing long-term. Fit the bar guard.

What safety equipment do I need?

Wear a helmet with visor, approved ear protection, safety glasses, non-slip safety shoes with leg protection, heavy-duty safety gloves, and saw-protective overalls/jacket.

How do I clean the bar lubrication slot?

Remove the bar and clear the slot with a plastic tool (never metal). Ensure the oil holes are clean before reassembling.

SAFETY DEVICES

The electric chain saw has several safety devices to reduce the risk of personal injury when in use.

Chain catcher

The chain catcher catches the chain if it comes off or jumps out from the slot on the bar. Correct maintenance of the bar and correct and regular tensioning of the chain prevent such problems.

FIG. 5

Chain brake handle

To reduce the risk of personal injury in the event of kickback the saw has a chain brake, which triggers on contact and stops the chain immediately.

FIG. 6

Hand guard

The hand guard protects the hand from branches and from the chain if it comes off or loose.

FIG. 7

Strain reliever

The strain reliever protects the power cord from unnecessary strain.

FIG. 8

Do not use the chain saw if it is damaged or not working properly, or if the power cord or plug are damaged. Damaged parts must be repaired or replaced before using the chain saw.

• Check that the chain brake is working properly.
• Check that the hand guard is undamaged.
• Check that the power switch and its lock button are working properly.
• Check that the handles are clean, dry and free from oil and grease.
• Check that all parts are correctly fitted and undamaged.
• Check that the chain catcher is in good condition and undamaged.
• Check the chain tension.
• Put the power cord through the stress reliever as shown in the diagram.

The chain brake stops the chain immediately in the event of kickback. Always check before use that the chain brake is working properly.

1. Put the chain saw on the ground.
2. Start the chain saw.
3. Push the chain brake handle forwards. The chain should stop immediately.

IMPORTANT:

Do not use the chain saw if the chain brake is not working properly. Take the saw to an authorised service centre, or other qualified personnel, to be checked and repaired.

STARTING

1. The chain brake handle must be in its pulled back position.
2. Hold the saw firmly with both hands.
3. Press the start inhibitor.
4. Press the power switch.
5. The chain saw starts.

USE

Study the technique for working with the chain chain. This information is readily available in the literature on the subject. We recommend that you undertake a suitable training course.

The information in this document is only intended as a supplement.

CORRECT WORKING POSTURE

NOTE:

• Always maintain a firm footing and good balance.
• Never saw above shoulder height.
• Never use the chain saw from a ladder, tree or other unstable place.
• Do not overreach.
• Do not use the chain saw in bad weather or in the dark.
• Stand with both feet firmly on the ground.
• Pay attention to any obstructions in the work area.
• Hold the chain saw firmly with both hands when working.

RISK OF KICKBACK

WARNING!

Kickback can occur if the tip or topside of the bar comes into contact with wood or other solid objects. The saw then kicks back, which can cause fatal and/or serious personal injury.

• Always check before use that the chain brake is working properly.
- Do not allow the tip of the bar to make contact with wood or other solid objects.

FIG. 9

- The chain brake may not be applied automatically in the event of minor kickback. For this reason, always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands.

- The correct and careful way of working is the only reliable method of reducing the risk of kickback.

SAWING TECHNIQUE

Sawing with a pulling chain

- With this technique sawing takes place with the underside of the bar, from up and down, so that the chain pulls the saw forwards away from the user. This allows the front of the saw to provide support and absorb the force from the wood being sawn.

FIG. 10

- When sawing with a pulling chain the user has much better control over the saw and can more easily avoid kickback. This is the preferred technique.

Sawing with a pushing chain

- With this technique sawing takes place with the topside of the bar, from down and up, so that the chain pushes the saw backwards towards the user. If bar twists the chain saw can throw back towards the user with great force.

FIG. 11

- If the user does not withstand the pushing force of the saw there is a risk of the tip of the bar coming into contact with the wood, which can cause kickback.

Felling trees

WARNING!

• Risk of personal injury.
• Felling and limbing should only be carried out by qualified personnel – risk of fatal and/or serious personal injury.
• Always stand to the side of the tree being felled – risk of fatal and/or serious personal injury.

Check the following points before tree felling.

• Check that there are no people or animals in the work area.
• Check that everyone involved in the work has a clear retreat from the felling area. Retreat (B) should run at an angle to the direction of felling (A).

FIG. 12

• Check that the area around the tree is free from obstructions that can be tripped over.
• Check that the nearest workplace is at least 2.5 tree heights away. Check the direction in which the tree is going to fall and make sure there are no people, animals or obstacles within at least 2.5 tree heights.

Tree felling takes place in two steps.

1. Make a notch cut (1) through about 1/3 of the diameter of the tree, on the side in which the tree is to fall.
2. Saw the felling cut (2) from the other side of the tree, 3–5 cm above the bottom of the notch cut. Always leave holding wood (C), which acts as a hinge.

FIG. 13

IMPORTANT:

Never saw all the way through the trunk.

Sawing lying logs

Saw half way through the log, turn it over and saw through from the other side.

NOTE:

Be careful not to let the bar and the chain come into contact with the ground.

Sawing supported logs

• We recommend cutting up logs on a sawbuck. If this is not possible the log should be lifted up and blocked up.
• In area A, first saw through about 1/3 of the diameter of the log from above and then saw through the rest from underneath. In area B, first saw through about 1/3 of the diameter of the log from underneath and then saw through the rest from above.

FIG. 14

WARNING!

Do not saw wood under tension. If the wood splits or if the bar is twisted there is risk of fatal and/or serious personal injury.

Limbing

• Always stand on the opposite side of the trunk from the branch to be cut.
- Start from the root end, and work up.
• Always saw from underneath and up.
- When limbing lying logs, cut the branches sticking up first. Branches bearing the weight of the trunk are cut after sawing up the log into pieces.

WARNING!

High branches or branches under tension can cause the chain to pinch.

MAINTENANCE

• Switch off the chain saw, pull out the plug and wait until all moving parts have completely stopped and the saw has cooled before cleaning and/or maintenance.
• Do not carry out any other maintenance or adjustments than those described in these instructions.
• Maintenance and repairs not described in these instructions should be carried out by an authorised service centre or other qualified personnel. Incorrect maintenance can result in the risk of personal injury and/or material damage.

CLEANING THE CHAIN SAW

• Remove any debris.
• Wipe the chain saw with a damp cloth.

CLEANING BAR LUBRICATION SLOT

1. Remove the bar.
2. Clear the lubrication slot in the bar with a suitable tool.
3. Fit the bar.

IMPORTANT:

Clean the bar with plastic tools.

Never use metal tools.

CHECKING THE CHAIN TENSION

1. A new chain must be tensioned after no more than 5 cuts. Once the chain has been run in it does not need to be tensioned as often.
2. The chain is correctly tensioned when it rests against the underside of the bar, but can still be easily pulled along by hand.
3. Adjust the tension of the chain when necessary.

TENSIONING THE CHAIN

1. Unscrew the nuts about 1 turn.
2. Lift the tip of the bar a little.
3. Tension the chain with the screw until the chain is flush with the underside of the bar.

FIG. 15

1. Tighten the nut.

CHECKING THE CHAIN LUBRICATION

Do not use the chain saw without adequate lubrication of the chain, this will wear out the chain quicker.

1. Check the oil level in the tank.
2. Start the chain saw.
3. Run the chain when holding the bar about 15 cm over a suitable surface for 15 seconds. If the chain lubrication is working properly there should be splashing of oil on the surface.

LUBRICATING THE SPROCKET

IMPORTANT:

• Wear heavy-duty safety gloves when handling the bar and chain.
• Switch off the saw, pull out the plug and wait until all moving parts have completely stopped before lubricating it.

The bar sprocket should be lubricated at intervals of 25 working hours, or once a week during intensive use.

1. Clean the sprocket.
2. Press grease from the nozzle of the grease gun into the lubrication hole until it comes out by the edge of the bar. A grease gun with a slim nozzle simplifies effective lubrication.

FIG. 16

1. Pull round the chain by hand. Repeat until all the sprocket has been lubricated.

FILLING CHAIN OIL

NOTE:

Preferably use biodegradable, vegetable chain oil to minimise the environmental impact.

1. Place the chain saw on a stable surface with the filler cap facing up.
2. Clean the cap are the area around it, if necessary.
3. Open the filler cap slowly and take it off.
4. Carefully fill with chain oil. Avoid spilling.
5. Check the oil level in the sight glass. The oil level should be between the MAX and MIN markings.

FIG. 17

1. Tighten the filler cap by hand.

2. Wipe up any spilled oil.

SHARPENING THE CHAIN

WARNING!

• A worn or incorrectly filed chain can cause kickback, which can result in fatal and/or serious personal injury.
• Wear heavy-duty safety gloves when handling the bar and chain.
• The filing should be done with a special tool to ensure that the chain has the right angles and height.
• All the drive links should have the same height. Different heights of the drive links will cause the chain to run out of balance and damage it.
• The minimum height of the drive links is 4 mm. Discard the chain if they are less. The angles of the cutting edges must be maintained. File with 2 or 3 strokes from inside and out.
• File the chain with a round file. Always file the cutting edges from inside and out. Pay attention to the values given in the diagrams. After filing all the drive links should have the same width and height.

- The height of the rakers should be checked after 3 – 4 filings. If necessary, file down the rakers with a file template and flat file.

BAR

• Turn the bar round every 8 working hours to ensure that it wears uniformly.
• Use a cleaning tool to keep the slot and lubrication holes clean.
• Check the bar at regular intervals for wear and damage, and replace if necessary.
• Clean the oil channels on the bar to ensure proper lubrication of the bar and chain.

WARNING!

Never fit a new chain on a worn sprocket or worn guide ring.

STORAGE AND TRANSPORT

Long-term storage

• Store the chain saw out of reach of unauthorised persons.
• Allow the chain saw to cool before putting away.
  • Store the chain saw horizontally.
• Remove the chain if the saw is not going to be used for a long time.
