McCulloch Electrolux Electramac 235 416 316 Chainsaw Owners Manual

Check  that  the  chain   is  sharpened  correctly  (See
below),   in  good   working   condition   and   that  the
tension is correct. If  the chain is irregularly worn, or  if
the cutting  teeth are only 3  mm high, the  chain must
be replaced(fig.3).
The cutting side of  the chain is composed of the cutting
link (fig.9)  with a cutting  tooth(fig.10) and a  cutting limit
gauge(fig.11). The difference between  these determines
the cutting depth; a file guide and a 4mm diameter round
file are needed to obtain good sharpening results; Follow
the   instructions  below:   Once   the   chain   has  been
mounted and  the tension  is correctly adjusted,  and the

Check  that   the  switch   and  switch   block  function
correctly   (to  be   performed   with  the   chain  brake
released): press  the switch and  the switch block and
control  that  they return  to  idle  position  as soon  as
they  are  released;   control  that  it  is  impossible   to
press the switch without activating the switch block.
Check  that  the   chain  catcher  and   the  right  hand
guard  are  in   correct  condition  without   any  visible
faults such as damaged material.

stage  (it  is   very  important  to  follow   the  instructions
perfectly: excessive or  insufficient sharpening angles, or
an   incorrect  file   diameter  will   increase  the   risk   of
kickback.) To obtain higher precision on side angles, it is
advisable to position the file so that it exceeds the upper
cutter by about 0.5 mm. File all the teeth on one side first,
then  turn the  machine  over and  repeat  the operation.
Make sure that after sharpening operations, all teeth are
the same length and that the height of the depth gauge is

If  the chain  does not  cut  correctly, or  requires hard

very  fine,  this   is  a  sign   that  it  is   not  sharpened

H. CUTTING TECHNIQUES
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14
When using the machine, prevent: (fig.1)
- situations that can lead to kickback reactions.
During machine use: (fig.1)
-
cutting  in  conditions   where  the  trunk  could  split
during cutting  (wood under pressure,  dry dead  trees,
etc): sudden splitting can be very dangerous.
- When  cutting on sloping ground,  always work uphill
of the  trunk to  avoid being  hit if the  trunk should  roll
downhill.
-
the bar  or the  chain from  becoming blocked  in the
cutting  notch:  if   this  should  occur,  disconnect   the
machine  from the  main  electricity  supply  and try  to
-   Release   the   switch   after   each   cutting   action:
prolonged   dry  running   of  the   motor   will  provoke
raise the trunk using an appropriate tool as a lever; do       serious damage.
not attempt to  free the machine  by shaking or  pulling
as this could cause damage or injury.
- When  felling trees,  always finish the  job: a  partially
cut tree could break and fall.
