Intended Use

The HYC1600E / HYC2400E is an electric chainsaw from HYUNDAI.

The product is only intended for sawing wood for domestic purposes. The saw is not designed for cutting any other material.

The chainsaw is manufactured according to the latest safety requirements. Every precaution is only effective when it is followed exactly.

Page 10

Safety Information

Vibrations (Where Applicable)

• Prolonged use of hand held (operated) machines will cause the user to feel the effects of/from vibrations. These vibrations can lead to white ﬁnger (Raynaud’s phenomenon) or carpal tunnel syndrome. This condition reduces the ability of the hand to feel and regulate temperature, causing numbness and heat sensations and may cause nerve damage and circulatory tissue death.

• Not all factors that lead to white ﬁnger disease are known, but cold weather, smoking and other diseases that affect blood vessels and blood circulation as well as large and long-lasting impact of shocks are considered factors in the formation of white ﬁnger. Note the following to reduce the risk of white ﬁnger and carpal tunnel syndrome;

• Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.

• Take regular breaks.

• All of the above precautions may help reduce the risk of white ﬁnger disease but not rule out the carpal tunnel syndrome. Long-term and regular users are therefore recommended to observe the condition of your hands and ﬁngers. Seek medical attention immediately if any of the above symptoms should occur.

Effects Of Vibration

Vibration white ﬁnger (VWF) is an injury triggered by continuous use of vibrating hand-held machinery. If you continue to use high-vibration tools these symptoms will probably get worse, for example:

• The numbness in your hands could become permanent and you won’t be able to feel things at all;

• You will have difﬁculty picking up small objects such as screws or nails;

• Vibration White Finger (VWF) could happen more frequently and affect more of your ﬁngers.

Protecting Your Body From Vibration

Please observe the following matter, in order to protect the health of your body.

• Always use the right tool for each job (to do the job more quickly and expose you to less hand-arm vibration).

• Check tools before using them to make sure they have been properly maintained and repaired to avoid increased vibration caused by faults or general wear.

• Make sure cutting tools are kept sharp so that they remain efﬁcient.

• Reduce the amount of time you use a tool in one go, by doing other jobs in between.

• Avoid gripping or forcing a tool or workpiece more than you have to.

• Store tools so that they do not have very cold handles when next used.

Safety Information

Chainsaw Safety Warnings

• You must keep all parts of the body away from the chain when the chainsaw is operating. Before you start the chainsaw, make sure the chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating chainsaws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.

• Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding the chainsaw with a reversed hand conﬁguration increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done.

• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Saw chains contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

• Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by ﬂying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.

• Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree. Operation of a chainsaw while up in a tree may result in personal injury.

• Always keep proper footing and operate the chainsaw only when standing on a ﬁxed, secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the chainsaw.

• When cutting a branch that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood ﬁbres is released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the chainsaw out of control.

• Use extreme caution when cutting bush and saplings. The slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

• Carry the chainsaw by the front handle with the chainsaw switched off and away from your body. When transporting or storing the chainsaw always ﬁt the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chainsaw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.

• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kick-back.

• Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.

• Cut wood only. Do not use chainsaw for purposes not intended. For example: do not use chainsaw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the chainsaw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Page 16

Safety Information

Chainsaw Safety Warnings (Continued)

• Never operate a chain saw when you are fatigued, ill, or upset, or under the inﬂuence of medication that may make you drowsy, or if you are under the inﬂuence of alcohol or drugs - risk of accident!

• Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw when starting or cutting. Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area. Children, pets and bystanders should be a minimum of 10m away when you start or operate the chainsaw - risk of accident!

• Never start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path from the falling tree - risk of accident!

• Never allow children to use the machine.

• The chainsaw has been specially designed for tree maintenance and should only be used by trained operators.

• Always inspect the chainsaw before use for worn, loose or damaged parts.

• Do not let anyone near the chainsaw when starting or cutting. Keep everyone, especially children, away from the work area.

• Do not start cutting until you have a clear cutting area and a secure footing.

• Never cut trees or foliage in high wind, bad weather or when there is poor visibility.

• Do not operate the chainsaw with one hand. Always hold the chainsaw ﬁrmly with both hands.

• Be alert for the phenomena of “skating” and “bouncing”.

• Be cautious not to lose balance of your body due to “drop” at the end of a cut.

• Always turn the chainsaw off before putting it down.

• Switch off the chainsaw before releasing the chain brake.

• The saw must be free when starting up.

Page 17

Safety Information

• The chainsaw must only be operated by one person. Other persons are forbidden to stay in the swivelling range of the chainsaw. Pay special attention to children and pets.

• Children and adolescents are not allowed to operate the chainsaw. If you pass this chainsaw on to anybody else, you must give them the instruction manual.

• First time users should practise cutting logs on a saw horse or stand.

• Working with the chainsaw is only allowed if you are well-rested and healthy, e.g. in good physically condition. Take regular breaks. You must not operate the chainsaw after drinking alcohol.

• Pull the chainsaw out of the wood with only a running saw chain.

• Do not work whilst on a ladder, in a tree or similar unstable locations.

• Mains cable should always be routed from behind the operator and away from the machine.

• If replacement of the cable is required, this must be done by the manufacturer to avoid any safety hazards.

• When sawing thin wood, use a safe support (saw horse). The wood should not be stacked and should not be held by anyone else or by your foot.

• Round logs are to be secured.

• The chain saw can be pushed toward the operator when cutting with the top of the rail when the saw chain gets stuck. Therefore, if possible, sawing should be done with the underside of the rail, as the saw is pulled away from the body towards the wood.

• Be careful when cutting splintered wood. Saw cut pieces of wood can be carried along.

• Do not use the chainsaw for lifting and scooping when removing pieces of wood or other.

• This chainsaw is not suitable for forestry work i.e. felling and de-foresting. The necessary mobility and safety of the saw guide is not guaranteed here by the cable connection.

• Even if you operate the power tool correctly, residual risks always remain. The following hazards may occur in connection with the design and construction of this power tool:

- Injuries and property damage caused by ﬂying parts.

- Ear damage if you do not wear suitable hearing protection or use the power tool for a long period of time.

- Health damage resulting from hand-arm vibrations if the power tool is used for an extended period of time or is not properly managed and maintained.

Page 18

Safety Information

Causes And Prevention Of Kickback

Kick-back may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.

Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator. Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw. As a chainsaw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

Kick-back is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

Maintain a ﬁrm grip, with thumbs and ﬁngers encircling the chainsaw handles with both hands

on the saw and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kick- back forces. Kick-back forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of the chainsaw.

Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. This helps prevent unintended tip

contact and enables better control of the chainsaw in unexpected situations.

Only use replacement bars and chains speciﬁed by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement

bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kick-back.

Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.

Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kick-back.

Do not rely exclusively on the safety devices built into your saw.

When the chainsaw fails to dig in during a cut, the guide bar can begin hopping or

dangerously skidding along the surface of the log or branch, possibly resulting in the loss of control of the chainsaw. To prevent or reduce skating or bouncing, hold the chainsaw with two hands and make sure the saw chain establishes a groove for cutting.

You cannot control reactive forces and you may lose control of the saw, which can result in

skating and bouncing of the bar along the limb or log.

Work cautiously and methodically.

Do not cut above shoulder height and do not lean too far forward.

Always cut with a correctly sharpened, properly tensioned saw chain – the depth gauge setting must not be too large.

Be alert for shifting of the log or other forces that may cause the cut to close and pinch the chain.

Use extreme caution when re-entering a previous cut.

WARNING - Make sure that the chainsaw is disconnected from the mains supply during all checks and adjustments.

CAUTION - This guide is meant to serve as a quick reference for operating your HYUNDAI

machine. We always advise reading the manual in full before operation.

NOTE - Images may vary depending on model.

NOTE - The machine can be supplied with some parts already assembled. Prior to

assembly, check all items have been received.

Filing With Oil

1. Place the chainsaw on a stable and ﬂat surface.

2. Unscrew and remove the oil ﬁller cap.

3. Fill the oil tank with chainsaw oil using a funnel.

4. Reﬁt the oil ﬁller cap. Wipe up any spillage before continuing. The oil level should be checked frequently during use and topped up as necessary. Using the saw without chainsaw oil will damage the chain, sprocket and bar.

NOTE - The machine is delivered without oil in the machine. All machines are tested and inspected so there may be some residual oil left in the machine so please ﬁll with caution.

Assembly

Attaching The Chain Bar And Chain

1. Place the chainsaw on a stable and ﬂat surface. Unplug the chainsaw from electric supply.

2. Loosen the large adjusting knob by turning anticlockwise and remove the cover.

3. Place the chain onto the bar. The chain bar is marked with an arrow that shows you the direction in which the chain will travel. Make sure all the chain links are seated correctly into the groove in the chain bar. The cutting teeth on the upper side of the bar must point forward, as marked on the bar.

4. Put the free end of the chain over the drive sprocket. To secure the bar, replace the cover and tighten the large adjusting knob ﬁnger tight. Adjust the blade tension as follows.

Page 23

Assembly

Chain Tension

Correct chain tension is extremely important and must always be checked before starting work. When using the chainsaw for the ﬁrst time (or after replacing the chain) the tension should be checked regularly, as a new chain will stretch after several cuts.

If the chain is too loose or too tight, the sprocket, bar and chain will wear more rapidly. The tension should be sufﬁcient to keep the chain snug on the bar, but loose enough to allow the chain to be pulled around by a gloved hand. Taking time to adjust the chain tension correctly will result in improved cutting performance and prolonged chain life.

To Adjust The Chain Tension

WARNING! Always wear protective gloves, when adjusting the chain tension and never check the chain tension when the chainsaw is connected to the mains supply.

1. Unplug from mains electric supply. Tighten the large adjuster knob clockwise one and a half

turns.

2. When the chain needs re-tensioning, loosen the large adjuster knob two to three turns until the tension on the bar is released, then tighten clockwise until tension is is applied to the bar, then a further one and a half turns.

3. Pull the chain gently downwards at the centre of the bar. The chain is correctly adjusted when gentle pulling only results in it moving 2-3 mm away from the chain bar.

4. Finally, with chain brake pulled back, push in the trigger lock and squeeze the trigger, whilst holding thetrigger, pull the chain around the bar with a gloved hand - it should ﬁt snugly around the bar and move freely and smoothly.

NOTE: If the chain binds or is difﬁcult to rotate by hand, too much tension has been applied. Repeat steps 2 to 6, turning the blade tensioning wheel anticlockwise slightly to reduce the tension.

Starting / Stopping

Before Each Use

WARNING! Do not start the chainsaw until it is fully assembled and adjusted and you have read all warnings and safety instructions.

For ‘ﬁrst time’ users of this type of product, we recommend that introductory training is undertaken from an experienced person before use.

Check the following points before each use to work safely:

Condition Of The Chainsaw

Examine the chainsaw for damage to the chassis, power cord, saw chain, and blade before beginning work. Never put an obviously damaged device into operation.

Oil Container

Check the level of the oil tank. Also check during work that there is always enough oil. Never operate the saw when there is no oil or the oil level has dropped below the minimum mark.

Saw Chain

Check the tension of the saw chain and the state of the saw chain. The sharper the chain, the easier and more controllable the chainsaw can handle. A dull chain will increase cutting time,

and pressing a dull chain through wood will increase the vibrations transmitted to your hands. A saw with loose components or with damaged or worn AV bushes will also tend to have higher vibration levels. You must check the chain tension every 15 minutes during work to increase your safety. Especially new chains, which are prone to increased expansion.

Chain Brake

Check the chain brake function as described on page 26-27.

Page 25

Starting / Stopping

Connecting To Power

1. To prevent strain on the cable during use, make a small loop in the power cable.

2. Put the loop through the hole in the handle and on the hook.

3. Slowly pull the loop back to remove the slack.

4. Connect the plug to a power socket.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply via a Residual Current Device (RCD).

Starting

1. Make sure that the chain brake is in the disengaged position (pulled back towards the handle).

2. Start the chainsaw by pushing the trigger lock button with your thumb and squeezing the

trigger switch.

NOTE: Check the blade tension after every 15 minutes of use.

Stopping

1. Release the trigger to stop the chainsaw.

Page 26

Operating

The Chain Brake

Always check that chain brake works properly before use.

CAUTION! The chain brake has been designed to reduce the possibility of injury if kickback occurs. However, it cannot be relied upon to protect you against injury if the chainsaw is used carelessly. Take great care when cutting, and always test the brake before using the saw.

During kickback, the chain brake will strike your left forearm, engaging the chain brake. When the brake is activated the chain will stop.

The chain brake is a device which stops the chain should the chainsaw recoil due to kickback. Normally, the brake is activated automatically by inertial force, however it can also be activated manually by pressing the brake lever forward / away from you.

• The chain brake is released (the chain can move) when the chain brake lever is pulled back towards the handle.

• The brake is engaged (chain is stopped) when the chain brake lever pushed forward away from the handle.

Release the chain brake by pulling the chain brake lever back towards the handle.

WARNING! If the chain fails to stop when the chain brake is engaged, do not use the chainsaw. You should return your chainsaw to your dealer for advice.

Continuous operation while the brake is engaged will generate excessive heat, which can melt the brake assembly and damage the clutch.

To Release The Brake

Release the chain brake by pulling the handle towards you when holding the saw. Some force maybe required to disengage the brake. This is to prevent the accidental releasing of the brake while in use.

To Engage The Brake

Engage the brake by pushing the brake handle away from you when holding the saw. The brake is spring loaded so after some initial force the brake will move forward on its on momentum. If the brake operates during use immediately release the throttle to reduce speed and when deemed safe release the brake and resume use.

Page 27

Operating

Correct Use Of Chain Brake

• If the chain brake is clogged with wood chips the effectiveness of the brake is diminished.

• You must always keep the device clean.

• Do not increase motor revolutions while the chain brake is engaged.

• Do not use it unless absolutely necessary.

• Never test the brake in an area where petrol fumes are present.

The following may interfere with the brake’s ability to protect the operator:

• Saw wrongly held too close to operator’s body.

• Kickback time may be too fast even for a perfectly maintained brake to work in time.

• The operator’s hand may not be in position to contact the hand guard. Brake will not be tripped.

• Lack of proper maintenance lengthens the brake’s stopping time, making it less effective.

• Dirt, grease, oil, pitch, etc. getting into the working parts of the mechanism may lengthen the stopping time.

• Wear and fatigue of the activating brake spring, and wear of the brake / clutch drum and pivot points may lengthen the brake’s stopping time.

• A damaged hand guard and lever may render the brake inoperative.

Testing The Brake

1. Start the chainsaw

2. Place the chain saw on the ground.

3. Hold the rear handle with your right hand and the front handle with your left hand.

4. Accelerate the chainsaw to high speed by using the throttle trigger.

5. Operate the chain brake by turning your left wrist against the front hand guard whilst gripping the front handle.

6. The chain should stop immediately.

7. Release the power trigger.

If the chain does not stop immediately contact Hyundai Power Products.

Page 28

Using The Chainsaw

NOTE: We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply via a Residual Current Device (RCD).

Holding The Chainsaw Correctly

Hold the chainsaw ﬁrmly with both hands. Always keep your left hand on the front handle and your right hand on the rear handle. Holding the chainsaw with a reversed hand conﬁguration increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done.

Use a ﬁrm and proper grip when holding the handles to maintain control, your ﬁnger and thumbs should encircle the handles.

Keep your body to the left of the blade at all times.

WARNING! Do not use the front guard as a handle. Never use a left handed (cross-handed) grip or any grip that places your body or arm across the cutting line.

Page 29

Working

Basic Cutting Procedure

WARNING! Chainsaws by their very nature are extremely dangerous machines and should be handled with respect!

We strongly recommend that before use of this product, you attend a chainsaw training course to familiarise yourself with the maintenance and usage of these products! Thoroughly read this manual and adhere to all safety instructions at all times. The manufacturer will not be held liable for any accidents/injuries caused due to misuse or incorrect maintenance of this product!

1. To become proﬁcient, attend a recognised chainsaw training course to learn how to operate chainsaws safely and effectively. Familiarise yourself with all the controls and switches. Practice all movements with the product switched off.

2. Always hold the product ﬁrmly with both hands; front handle with the left hand and rear handle with the right hand. Fully grip both handles at all times during operation. Never operate the product using only one hand.

3. Only use the product with a secure stance. Hold the product at the right-hand side of your body (See below image 1).

4. Check the lubrication. Start the machine and check whether the chain can give off a spray of oil within a few seconds. If an oil trace can be seen, the chainsaw is lubricating. (Image 2).

Working

Basic Cutting Procedure (Continued)

5. Ensure the saw chain is running at full speed before it makes contact with the wood. Use spiked bumper to secure the product onto the wood before starting to cut and use it as a leverage point while cutting (See below).

6. Reset the spiked bumper at a low point when cutting thicker logs by pulling the product slightly backwards, until the gripping teeth release and re-position at lower level to continue sawing. Do not remove the product completely from the wood.

7. Do not force the saw chain while cutting, let the chain do the work using the gripping teeth to apply minimal leverage pressure.

8. Do not operate the product with arms fully extended or attempt to saw areas which are difﬁcult to reach, or on a ladder. Never use the product above shoulder height (See below).

9. Optimum sawing is achieved if the chain speed remains constant during cutting.

10. Be careful when reaching the end of the cut. The weight of the product may change unexpectedly as it cuts free from the wood. This can cause accidents to the legs and feet. Always remove the product from a wood cut while the product is running.

11.Check that the oil feed to the chain is operating correctly; run the chain saw at medium speed and ensure that the chain has received a consistent coating of oil.

Working

Felling A Tree

WARNING! Before commencing work or attempting to fell any tree, check with your local council to ensure you have permission!

Even in your own garden you may be in a conservation area, the tree you wish to fell may have a conservation order against it or the tree may be visible on the plans of your house – In all these instances and more, you may be required to obtain permission before work can begin.

1. When bucking and felling operations are being performed by two or more persons at the same time, the felling operations should be separated from the bucking operation by a distance of at least twice the height of the tree being felled. Trees should not be felled in a manner that would endanger any person, strike any utility line or cause any property damage. If the tree does make contact with any utility line, the company should be notiﬁed immediately.

2. The product operator should keep on the uphill side of the terrain as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after it is felled.

3. An escape path should be planned and cleared as necessary before cuts are started. The escape path should extend back and diagonally to the rear of the expected line of fall (See below).

4. Before felling is started, consider the natural lean of the tree, the location of larger branches and the wind direction to judge which way the tree will fall.

5. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire from the tree.

Page 32

Working

Notching Undercut

Make the notch (see ﬁgure below - B) 1/3 the diameter of the tree, perpendicular to the direction of falls. Make the lower horizontal notching cut ﬁrst. This will help to avoid pinching either the saw chain or the guide bar when the second notch is being made.

Felling Back Cut

1. Make the felling back cut (see below - A) at least 50mm higher than the horizontal notching cut. Keep the felling back cut parallel to the horizontal notching cut. Make the felling back cut so enough wood is left to act as a hinge. The hinge wood (see below - C) keeps the tree from twisting and falling in the wrong direction. Do not cut through the hinge.

2. As the felling gets close to the hinge, the tree should begin to fall. If there is any chance that the tree may not fall in the desired direction or it may rock back and bind the saw chain, stop cutting before the felling back cut is complete and use wedges of wood, plastic or aluminium to open the cut and drop the tree along the desired line of fall.

3. When the tree begins to fall, remove the product from the cut, stop the motor, put the product down, and then use the retreat path planned. Be alert for overhead limbs falling and watch your footing.

Page 33

Working

Limbing And Pruning

Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen tree. When limbing leave larger lower limbs to support the log off the ground. Remove the small limbs in one cut (see below). Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the product.

WARNING! Never climb into a tree to limb or prune! Do not stand on ladders, platforms, logs, or in any position which may cause you to lose the balance or control of the saw! When pruning trees, it is important not to make the ﬂush cut next to main limp or trunk until you have cut off the limb further out to reduce the weight! This prevents stripping the bark from the main member!

WARNING! If the branches to be pruned are above chest height, hire a professional to perform the pruning!

Cutting Spring Poles

1. A spring pole is any log, branch, rooted stump, or sapling which is bent under tension by other wood, so that it springs back if the wood holding it is cut or removed (see ﬁgure below).

2. On a fallen tree, a rooted stump has a high potential of springing back to the upright position during the bucking cut to separate the log from the stump.

3. Watch out for spring poles, they are dangerous.

Page 34

Working

Bucking A Log

Bucking or cross-cutting is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to make sure your footing is ﬁrm and your weight is evenly distributed on both feet. When possible, the log should be raised and supported by the use of limbs, logs or chocks.

1. Follow the simple directions for easy cutting. When the log is supported along its entire length (see below image 1), it is cut from the top (over buck).

2. When the log is supported on one end (see below image 2), cut 1/3 the diameter from the underside (under buck). Then make the ﬁnished cut by over-bucking to meet the ﬁrst cut.

1 2

3. When the log is supported on both ends (see below image 1), cut 1/3 the diameter from the top (over buck). Then make the ﬁnished cut by under bucking the lower 2/3 to meet the ﬁrst cut.

4. When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the log (ﬁgure below image 2). When “cutting through”, to maintain complete control release the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the product handles. Don’t let the chain contact the ground. After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you move the product. Always stop the motor before moving from tree to tree.

1 2

5. Support small logs on a sawing stand or another log while bucking (see below image 1).

6. If the wood diameter is large enough for you to insert a soft bucking wedge without touching the chain, you should use the wedge to hold the cut open to prevent pinching (see below image 2).

Maintenance And Care

Maintenance Safety

IMPORTANT - Routine and accurate maintenance is essential for maintaining original

machine safety and performance levels.

WARNING - Before cleaning or doing maintenance work, you need to unplug the chainsaw

from the mains. You need to wear proper clothing and protective gloves whenever your hands are at risk.

If there are worn or damaged parts, never use the machine. Faulty or worn-out parts must be

replaced and not repaired. You must only use original spare parts. The use of non-original and/or incorrectly ﬁtted parts will jeopardize the safety of the machine. This may also cause accidents or personal injuries for which the manufacturer is under no circumstance liable or responsible.

Any maintenance operations or adjustments not explained in this manual must be carried out by your Dealer or a specialised Service Centre with the necessary knowledge and equipment to ensure that the work is done correctly maintaining the machine’s original safety level. Any operations performed in unauthorised centres or by unqualiﬁed persons will invalidate the Warranty and all obligations and responsibilities of the Manufacturer

Bar Maintenance

WARNING! Make sure that the chainsaw is disconnected from the mains supply before continuing.

Most guide bar problems can be prevented merely by keeping the product well maintained. Incorrect ﬁling and non-standard cutter and depth gauge settings are the causes of most guide bar problems, primarily resulting in uneven bar wear. As the bar wears unevenly, the rails widen, which may cause the chain to clatter and make it difﬁcult to complete straight cuts. If the guide bar is insufﬁciently lubricated and the product is operated with a saw chain which is too tight, this will contribute to rapid bar wear. To help minimise bar wear, maintenance of the guide bar as well as the saw chain, is recommended.

To keep the bar in good working order, you must follow these maintenance procedures.

1. After approximately 5 hours use, the bar should be turned, to ensure even wear on the top and bottom of the bar.

2. The bar rails should be cleaned every time the bar is turned, or the chain is removed. Using a suitable implement, clear any debris from the bar rails. This will keep the oil passages open and provide correct lubrication to the bar and chain.

Page 36

Maintenance And Care

Other Maintenance

1. Check the chain tension regularly and adjust as often as necessary to keep the chain snug on the bar. A new chain will require more frequent adjustment.

2. Check the mains cable before each use. Do not use the chainsaw if the cable is damaged in any way.

3. Always check the chain brake before each use.

4. Make sure that the automatic oiler system is working properly. Keep the oil tank ﬁlled with chain oil during use.

Cleaning

1. After use, you must clean all excess sawdust, chippings and debris from the chainsaw, chain and chain bar using a dry cloth and a soft brush for areas that are hard to reach.

2. Keep the air vents (end of motor housing) clean to prevent the motor overheating. Use a cloth and brush.

3. Keep the main body of the chainsaw clean using a soft cloth.

4. Remove stubborn dirt with high pressure air (max. 3 bar).

5. Check for worn or damaged parts. Replace worn parts as necessary or contact an authorised service centre for repair before using the product again.

NOTE: Do not use chemicals, alkaline, abrasive or other aggressive detergents or disinfectants to clean this product, as they might be harmful to its surfaces.

Sprocket Wheel

NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the saw chain to lubricate the sprocket. Lubrication can be done with the automatic lubrication system.

Storage

• Always store the chainsaw with the guard in place. Avoid the sharp teeth of the saw chain when doing so. It is highly recommended to clean the chainsaw before storing it.

• Make sure that the chainsaw is stored out of the reach of children and do not stack other items on top of the machine when in storage.

• Never hang the chainsaw by the handle, always store the chainsaw on a ﬂat and stable surface.

Page 37

Maintenance And Care

Transporting

• Always stop the chainsaw before putting a chainsaw down or carrying it. Carrying a chainsaw with the motor running is extremely dangerous.

• Accidental acceleration of the motor can cause the chain to rotate.

• BY HAND: When carrying your saw by hand, the chainsaw must be stopped and the saw must be in the proper position.

The chain guard (scabbard) should be over the chain and the guide bar, which should point backwards. When carrying your saw, the bar should be behind you.

• BY VEHICLE: When transporting in a vehicle, keep chain and bar covered with the chain guard. Properly secure your saw to prevent it moving around during transit, which in turn can cause spillage and damage to the saw.

Checking Automatic Chain Lubrication

Regularly check the automatic chain lubrication function to prevent overheating and damage to the blade and saw chain. To do this, aim the sword tip against a smooth surface (board, part of a tree) and let the chainsaw run.

If an increasing trace of oil appears during this process, the automatic chain lubrication works perfectly.

Attention! Do not touch the surface. Keep a safe distance (about 20 cm).

New Chain Bar And Chain

A dull chain will increase cutting time, and pressing a dull chain through wood will increase the vibrations transmitted to your hands. A saw with loose components or with damaged or worn AV buffers will also tend to have higher vibration levels.

Only use compatible chains to avoid damaging your machine. Using non-recommended replacement parts may result in damage to your machine or serious personal injury.

Replacement chain bars and chains can be obtained from HYUNDAI Power Products.

The bar needs to be renewed if:

• The guide groove of the bar is worn.

• The spur gear at the end of the guide bar is damaged or worn.

Page 38

Maintenance And Care

Removing Existing Bar And Chain

WARNING! Make sure that the chainsaw is disconnected from the mains supply before continuing.

1. Loosen the chain tension and then remove the housing cover by rotating the cover locking screw anticlockwise.

2. Using a pair of gloves, remove the existing bar and chain by pulling it towards you. Your local recycling centre can advise you on the best method of disposal.

NOTE: When you replace the bar, you will need to remove the wheel which is attached to it and ﬁt it onto the new bar.

3. Make sure that any debris is cleared from the mechanism and housing using a soft brush. A clean paint brush is ideal.

Fitting A New Bar And Chain

See page 22. Be sure to ﬁt adjuster bracket to new chain bar. See below.

Sharpening The Saw Chain

Effective working with the chainsaw is only possible if the saw chain is in good condition and sharp. This also reduces the risk of kickback.

The saw chain can be reground at every dealer. Do not try to sharpen the saw chain yourself if you do not have the proper tool and experience.

The declared vibration emission value has been measured according to a standardized test procedure and can be used to compare one power tool with another.

The speciﬁed vibration emission value can also be used for an initial assessment of the exposure.

The vibration emission value may differ from the indication value during the actual use of the power tool, depending on the manner in which the power tool is used.

Try to minimize the impact of vibration as much as possible. Exemplary measures to reduce vibration exposure include wearing gloves while using the tool and limiting working time. In this case, all parts of the operating cycle are to be considered (for example, times when the power tool is switched off and those in which it is switched on, but runs without load).
