SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Personal protective equipment ! WARNING! Most chain saw accidents happen when the chain touches the operator. You must use approved personal protective equipment whenever you use the machine. Personal protective equipment cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will reduce the degree of injury if an accident does happen. Ask your dealer for help in choosing the right equipment. ! WARNING! Long or continuous exposure to high noise levels may cause permanent hearing impairment.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Chain brake and front hand guard • You can also use the chain brake as a temporary brake when you change position or if you put the chain saw down for a short time! Apart from the fact that a chain saw with a chain brake greatly reduces the risk of accidents due to kickback, you should also apply the chain brake manually if there is a risk of the chain accidentally hitting anyone or anything close by.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • During felling your left hand grasps the front handle in such a way that it cannot activate the chain brake. In this position, i.e. when your left hand is in such a position that it cannot affect the movement of the front hand guard, the chain brake can only be activated by the inertia of the counterweight. Vibration damping system Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system that is designed to minimize vibration and make operation easier.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Muffler Checking the front hand guard The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user. Make sure the front hand guard is not damaged and that there are no visible defects such as cracks. ! WARNING! The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot and may contain sparks which can start a fire.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Grasp the chain saw firmly, wrapping your fingers and thumbs around the handles. Chain catcher Check that the chain catcher is not damaged and is firmly attached to the body of the chain saw. Apply full throttle and activate the chain brake by tilting your left wrist forward onto the front hand guard. Do not let go of the front handle. The chain should stop immediately.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Muffler • Keep the chain’s cutting teeth properly sharpened! Follow our instructions and use the recommended file gauge. A damaged or badly sharpened chain increases the risk of accidents. • Maintain the correct raker clearance! Follow our instructions and use the recommended raker gauge. Too large a clearance increases the risk of kickback.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Chain • Bar groove width (inches/mm). The groove in the bar must match the width of the chain drive links. • Chain oil hole and hole for chain tensioner. The bar must be matched to the chain saw design. A chain is made up of a number of links, which are available in standard and low-kickback versions. None Standard Low-kickback Cutting link Drive link Side link Chain Combining these links in different ways gives different degrees of kickback reduction.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • A sharp chain eats its way through the wood and produces long, thick cuttings. ! WARNING! The following faults will increase the risk of kickback considerably: File angle too large • Cutting angle too small The cutting part of the chain is called the cutting link and this consists of a cutting tooth (A) and the raker lip (B). The cutting depth is determined by the difference in height between the two.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS General advice on setting raker clearance • Tensioning the chain When you sharpen the cutting teeth you reduce the raker clearance (=cutting depth). To maintain optimal cutting performance you must file back the raker lip to the recommended height. See the Technical data section to find the raker clearance for your particular chain. ! WARNING! A slack chain may jump off and cause serious or even fatal injury. The more you use a chain the longer it becomes.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Lubricating cutting equipment ! WARNING! Poor lubrication of cutting equipment may cause the chain to snap, which could lead to serious, even fatal injuries. If the chain lubrication is not working: • Check that the oil channel in the bar is not obstructed. Clean if necessary. Chain oil Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain and also maintain its flow characteristics regardless of whether it is warm summer or cold winter weather.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Checking wear on cutting equipment • Whether the tip of the bar is uneven or badly worn. If a hollow forms on the underside of the bar tip this is due to running with a slack chain. • To prolong the life of the bar you should turn it over daily. Check the chain daily for: • Visible cracks in rivets and links. • Whether the chain is stiff. • Whether rivets and links are badly worn.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Kickback always occurs in the cutting plane of the bar. Normally the chain saw and bar are thrown backwards and upwards towards the user. However, the chain saw may move in a different direction depending on the way it was being used when the kickback zone of the bar touched the object. 4 Never use the chain saw above shoulder height and try not to cut with the tip of the bar.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 8 Follow the instructions on sharpening and maintaining your bar and chain. When you replace the bar and chain use only combinations that are recommended by us. See instructions under the headings Cutting equipment and Technical data. ! Before use: WARNING! The risk of kickback is increased if you use the wrong cutting equipment or a chain that is not sharpened correctly.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • • Observe your surroundings and make sure that there is no risk of people or animals coming into contact with the cutting equipment. Place the chain saw on the ground and hold the rear handle down with your right foot. Grasp the front handle firmly using your left hand. Make sure the chain saw is steady and the chain is not touching the ground or other objects. Then grasp the starter handle with your right hand and pull the starter cord.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Take great care when removing small branches and avoid cutting bushes (i.e. cutting many small branches at the same time). Small branches can be grabbed by the chain and thrown back at you, causing serious injury. Basic cutting technique ! WARNING! Never use a chain saw by holding it with one hand. A chain saw is not safely controlled with one hand; you can cut yourself. Always have a secure, firm grip around the handles with both hands.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Two factors decide whether the chain will jam or the object that you are cutting will split: the first is how the object is supported before and after cutting, and the second is whether it is in tension. In most cases you can avoid these problems by cutting in two stages; from the top and from the bottom. You need to support the object so that it will not trap the chain or split during cutting.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Tree felling technique ! WARNING! It takes a lot of experience to fell a tree. Inexperienced users of chain saws should not fell trees. Do not attempt any task that you feel unsure of! Safe distance The safe distance between a tree that is to be felled and anyone else working nearby is at least 2 1/2 tree lengths. Make sure that no-one else is in this ”risk zone” before or during felling.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The line where the two cuts meet is called the directional cut line. This line should be perfectly horizontal and at right angles (90°) to the chosen felling direction. When the felling cut and directional cut are complete the tree should start to fall by itself or with the aid of a felling wedge or breaking bar. Felling cut The felling cut is made from the opposite side of the tree and it must be perfectly horizontal. Stand on the left side of the tree and cut on the pull stroke.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Freeing a tree that has fallen badly Freeing a ”trapped tree” It is very dangerous to remove a trapped tree and there is high accident risk. The safest method is to use a winch. • Tractor-mounted • Portable Cutting trees and branches that are in tension Preparations: Work out which side is in tension and where the point of maximum tension is (i.e. where it would break if it was bent even more).

ASSEMBLY Fitting the bar and chain ! Tension the chain by turning the chain tensioning screw clockwise using the combination spanner. The chain should be tensioned until it does not sag from the underside of the bar. WARNING! Always wear gloves, when working with the chain. Check that the chain brake is in disengaged position by moving the front hand guard towards the front handle.
FUEL HANDLING Fuel Mixing ratio CAUTION! The machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine and must always been run using a mixture of petrol and twostroke engine oil. It is important to accurately measure the amount of oil to be mixed to ensure that the correct mixture is obtained. When mixing small amounts of fuel, even small inaccuracies can drastically affect the ratio of the mixture.
FUEL HANDLING Chain oil • The chain lubrication system is automatic and we recommend the use of special oil (chain oil) with good adhesion characteristics. Fuelling ! WARNING! Taking the following precautions, will lessen the risk of fire: Do not smoke or place hot objects near fuel. Always shut off the engine before refuelling. When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so that any excess pressure is released gently. Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.
STARTING AND STOPPING Starting and stopping ! Warm engine WARNING! Note the following before starting: Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and all covers are fitted correctly. Otherwise the clutch can come loose and cause personal injuries. Always move the machine away from the refuelling area before starting. Place the machine on firm ground. Make sure you have a secure footing and that the chain cannot touch anything. Keep people and animals well away from the working area.
STARTING AND STOPPING Reactivate the chain brake by pushing the front hand guard back towards the front handle. The chain saw is now ready for use. Stopping Stop the engine by switching off the ignition.
MAINTENANCE Carburettor adjustment • The carburettor can be designed in different ways, depending on existing environmental and emissions legislation. Some chain saws are equipped with movement limiters on the carburettor’s adjuster screws. These limit the adjustment possibilities to a maximum of a 1/2 turn.
MAINTENANCE Turn the low speed jet L clockwise until it stops. If the engine accelerates poorly or idles unevenly, turn the low speed jet L anticlockwise until good acceleration and idling are achieved. Carburettor without movement limiters CAUTION! If the chain rotates while idling the T-screw must be turned anti-clockwise until the chain stops. H Low speed jet L L Fine adjustment of the idle speed T Adjust the idle speed with the T-screw.
MAINTENANCE Fine adjustment High speed jet H When the machine has been ”run-in” the carburettor should be finely adjusted. The fine adjustment should be carried out by a qualified person. First adjust the L-jet, then the idling screw T and then the H-jet. • The recommended engine speeds are as follows: Max. fast idle speed, rpm Idle speed, rpm CS 2165 12500 2700 CS 2171 13500 2700 The high speed jet H influences the power and engine speed of the machine.
MAINTENANCE Starter ! Changing a broken recoil spring WARNING! When the recoil spring is wound up in the starter housing it is under tension and can, if handled carelessly, pop out and cause personal injury. Always be careful when changing the recoil spring or the starter cord. Always wear protective goggles. • Lift off the pulley. See instructions under heading Changing a broken or worn starter cord.
MAINTENANCE • The filter can be cleaned more thoroughly by washing it in water and detergent. Some mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor mesh. If your machine has this type of muffler, you should clean the mesh at least once a week. This is best done with a wire brush. CAUTION! The mesh must be replaced if it is damaged. If the mesh is blocked the machine will overheat and this will cause damage to the cylinder and piston. Never use a machine with a muffler that is in poor condition.
MAINTENANCE Cooling system Heated handles (CS 2171W) To keep the working temperature as low as possible the machine is equipped with a cooling system. On models with the model code W, both the front handle bar and the rear handle are equipped with electrical heating coils. These are supplied with electricity from a generator built into the chain saw. The cooling system consists of: 1 Air intake on the starter. 2 Air guide plate. 3 Fins on the flywheel. 4 Cooling fins on the cylinder.
