GB EC DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY Electrolux Motor AS, N-1708 Sarpsborg, Norway hereby declares that the following chain saws: Husqvarna 315 Electric and Husqvarna 318 Electric, with serial numbers starting at 20100000, - are manufactured in compliance with EU Machine Directive 98/37/EC, EU directive 73/23/EEA (Low Voltage Directive), 89/336/EEC (Electromagnetic Compatibility), and 2000/14/EC (Noise Emission in the environment by equipment for use outdoors) - are manufactured in compliance with the followin
ENGLISH SAFE USE CAUTION! Never operate a chain saw with one hand only. Doing so may lead to i serious injury to operator, helpers or bystanders. An electric chain saw is designed for operation with both hands. DANGER! Use of accessories not conforming to the recommendations outlined in the Operating Instructions could lead to injury. • Dress safely. Avoid jewellery and loose-fitting clothing, which may be caught in moving parts.
• Tighten chain firmly but not so hard that it does not turn easily by hand. • Use chain saw only on wood. Do not attempt to cut metal, plastic, masonry or any non-wood building materials. Do not use the guide bar to push away branches, roots or other objects. • Ensure that you can move and stand safely at all times. Watch out for roots, stones, branches, holes, mounds and so forth when moving around. Be particularly careful when working on slopes.
ENGLISH KICKBACK PREVENTION DANGER! Kickbacks occur suddenly and without warning. A kickback may be violent enough to throw a chainsaw back at the user. A running chain can inflict severe and even fatal injury. It is imperative for users to be familiar with the causes of kickbacks in order to exercise the proper care and use working techniques to prevent kickback. CAUTION! Improperly sharpened cutters or the wrong chain and guide bar combination will increase the risk of kickback.
• Never use a chain saw to cut above shoulder height, and do not cut with the guide bar nose. Never operate a chain saw while holding it with only one hand! • Maintain full speed while cutting. • Take extreme care when cutting with the top chain (on the underside of a log). The force of the chain action pushes the saw backwards, and if the operator does not maintain firm control, the kickback danger zone may move far enough back into the kerf to produce a kickback.
ENGLISH • The chain brake (A) is activated either manually (with the left hand) or by the force of inertia (the inertia of the kickback guard resisting the motion of the saw from the force of the kickback). However it is activated, the kickback protection mechanism works in the opposite direction to the force of the kickback. The saw incorporates a slip clutch which protects the saw against overload. If the chain stops while the motor is running, the saw is overloaded.
ENGLISH Brake band inspection • Clean sawdust, pitch, and debris from the chain brake and clutch drum. Wear and debris both affect brake function. • Inspect the brake band regularly, ensuring that it is nowhere less than 0.6 mm thick Kickback guard inspection • Inspect kickback guard for visible defects, such as cracks. • Move kickback guard back and forth to ensure that it moves freely without being loose. Manual chain brake function check • Check chain brake daily or every time the saw is used.
ENGLISH CHAIN CATCHER The chain catcher is designed to catch a chain which breaks or jumps out of its groove. This problem will generally be avoided, however, if the chain is tensioned properly (see chapter on «Assembly and Adjustment of Guide Bar and Chain») and the chain and guide bar properly maintained. Ensure that the CHAIN CATCHER is undamaged.
ENGLISH MOUNTING GUIDE BAR AND ADJUSTING CHAIN CAUTION! Always wear gloves when handling chain. CAUTION! A loose chain can jump out of its groove during operation and cause serious or even fatal injury. 1 1. Pull kickback guard back against the front handle to ensure that the chain brake is not applied. 2. Screw out the guide bar nut and remove the chain drive cover. 2 3 3. Fit the chain around guide bar nose with the top cutters facing forwards. 4 4.
ENGLISH 7. Tension the chain by screwing the tensioning screw clockwise using the screwdriver tip on the combination tool. 7 8. The chain is correctly tensioned when the slack on the bottom of the bar is gone, yet the chain is still easily pulled around by hand. 8 9. Tighten the mounting nut with the combination tool while holding the tip of the guide bar up. 9 The tension of a new chain must be checked frequently until it is broken in.
• Ensure that the automatic oiling system works and that the cutting equipment is properly maintained. CHAIN AND GUIDE BAR LUBRICATION CAUTION! Inadequate lubrication can lead to cutting equipment failure and serious or fatal personal injury. Chain oil • The chain and bar are lubricated by an automatic oiling system. We recommend using only chain saw oil, which is formulated for good adhesion and flow characteristics in hot or cold weather.
ENGLISH • If the lubrication system does not seem to be working, and the following steps do not help, take your saw to a service dealer. - Check the guide bar's oil passage and clean if necessary. - Check guide bar groove and clean if necessary. - Ensure that the nose sprocket turns easily and is not clogged. Clean and grease if necessary. Checking chain wear • Inspect chain every day for: - Visible cracks in rivets or links. - Stiffness. min 3 mm (1/8") - Abnormal wear in rivets or links. - Min.
CAUTION! • Make certain at all times that your footing is secure and that the chain touches nothing but the wood you are cutting. • Keep bystanders away from your work area. Starting • Grip the front handle firmly with your left hand. • Grip the rear handle firmly with your right hand. • Press and hold the power trigger lockout button with your right thumb and squeeze the power trigger with your index finger. Stopping Stop the saw by releasing the power trigger.
ENGLISH • When filing a saw, pay close attention to: TOP-PLATE ANGLE CUTTING ANGLE HORIZONTAL FILE ANGLE FILE DIAMETER FILE DEPTH See «Technical Specifications» for the details which apply to your chain. 1 5 It is very difficult to file a chain saw correctly without the proper aids. We recommend the use of a file guide to ensure maximum cutting efficiency with the least tendency to kickback. Filing cutters To file cutters correctly, a ROUND FILE and a FILE GUIDE are required.
CAUTION! If the chain becomes stuck in the kerf, STOP THE SAW! Do not attempt to jerk the saw free. You could be harmed by the chain if the saw suddenly comes loose. Lever the saw free instead. • Cutting a log on the ground. There is little danger of the saw jamming or the log splintering, but it is difficult to avoid running the saw into the ground when breaking through at the end of the cut. Saw straight through the log. Be careful at the end of the cut to avoid contact with the ground.
ENGLISH LIMBING CAUTION! Most kickback accidents take place when limbing. Pay very close attention to the kickback danger zone when cutting limbs under tension! All the principles which apply to crosscutting also apply when cutting thick branches. 1 2 3 Cut complicated branches in several stages. Ensure that your footing is secure at all times, whether moving about or standing in one place. Always work with the log to your right. For best control, hold the chain saw as close to your body as possible.
Remove any branches from around the base of the tree which may interfere with your work. It is safest to work from the top down and to keep the tree trunk between you and the running chain. Never cut branches above shoulder height. Clear undergrowth around the tree and identify your line of retreat or escape, taking note of any obstructions (stones, branches, holes, etc.). Your line of retreat should be at an angle, around 135° behind the direction of fall.
ENGLISH When complete, the FELLING CUT must be parallel to the notch and leave a strip of HINGE WOOD at least 1/10 the diameter of the tree. The HINGE WOOD acts as a hinge, steering the direction of the falling tree. If the HINGE WOOD is too small or has been sawn through, or if the notch and the felling cut are mismatched, the tree is no longer under control. As the felling cut approaches the notch, the tree should start falling, either by itself or with the help of a WEDGE or FELLING BAR.
