Starting Operation - Stiga CS 48 Li 14 Manual De Instrucciones

• The saw chain should face in the
direction of chain rotation. If they face
backwards, turn the loop over.
• Place the chain drive links into the bar
groove. Position the chain so there
is a loop at the back of the bar.
• Hold the chain in position on the bar
and place the loop around the sprocket
and make sure it is correctly mounted.
Make sure the bar hole fits well with
bolt (item 16) for saw chain tension.
• Replace the sprocket cover, turn the chain
tension adjust knob (item 13) clockwise
until the saw chain is properly tensioned.
The guide bar must then be pushed
upwards, check chain tension again,
do not tension the chain too tight.
• After the chain is well-tensioned,
tighten the knob (item 15) again.
Note: The saw chain is properly tensioned if,
in the middle of the guide bar, it can be lifted
3mm to 4mm from the edge of the guide bar.
Start the saw again with a new saw chain,
allowing it to run-in for 2~3 minutes.
After the run-in time, check
the chain tension and retighten
the chain if necessary..
5. OPERATION
For complete charging instructions, refer to
the Operator's Manuals for your battery pack
and charger models. Use the charger which
complies with EN 60335- 2-29 for charging

BEFORE EACH USE CHECKING
THE CHAIN TENSION WARNING
See Figure 2.
Remove the battery pack from the
chain saw before checking the chain
tension or making adjustments to the chain.
Wear protective gloves while touching the
chain, bar or areas around the chain.
• Pull the chain in the middle of the lower
side of the bar away from the bar. The gap
between the cutter in the chain and the
bar should be between 3mm - 4mm.
• If you need to adjust the chain tension,
please refer to the section "ADJUSTING
THE CHAIN TENSION" later in this manual.
TO INSTALL BATTERY PACK
See Figure 2.
• Place the battery pack in the chain saw.
Align raised ribs on battery pack with
grooves in the chain saw's battery port.
• Make sure the latch on bottom of the
battery pack snaps in place and that battery
pack is fully seated and secure in the
chain saw before beginning operation.
TO REMOVE BATTERY PACK
See Figure 2.
• Release the trigger to stop the chain saw.
• Press and hold the battery latch button
at the bottom of the battery pack.
• Remove battery pack from the chain saw.
CHECKING THE CHAIN LUBRICANT
See Figure 1.
• Check the amount of oil in the chain saw
by looking at the oil level gauge (item
7). If the oil level is low, follow the steps
shown in section "ADDING CHAIN &
BAR LUBRICANT" of this manual..
Check the chain tension
before each use of the saw.
Never operate the chain saw
without suffi cient chain lubrication
as this might damage the saw and
is a threat to safety. Check the chain
lubricant level before each use!
In order to prevent kickback, please
follow these safety instructions:
• Never cut with the tip of the guide bar! Be
careful when continuing from previous cuts.
• Always start cutting only when the
chain saw is already running.
• Make sure that the saw chain is
always properly sharpened.
• Never cut through more than one branch
at a time! When lopping off branches, be
careful not to touch any other branches.
When cross-cutting, pay attention to
trunks standing very close to each other.
If possible, use a sawing trestle.
HOLDING THE CHAIN SAW (FIG. 8)
Always hold the chain saw with your right
hand at the rear handle and your left hand at
the front handle. Grip both handles with the
thumbs and fingers encircling the handles.
Ensure that your left hand is holding the front
handle so that your thumb is underneath.
