McCulloch Electrolux Electramac 235 416 316 Chainsaw Owners Manual

The chain  brake can  be activated  in two modes:  the
first using the  left wrist by  pushing forwards, or  when
it comes into contact with the brake system as a result
of  kickback; or  by  inertia, in  the case  of  particularly
violent kickback.
CHAIN CATCHER
This machine  is equipped with a  chain catcher (fig.4)
located   under   the   pinion.       This   mechanism   is
designed to  arrest  the backward  chain movement  in
the   case   of   chain   breaking  or   derailing.   These
situations  can be  avoided by  ensuring  correct chain
tension (Refer to chapter “D. Assembly/disassembly”).
When the  machine is  used with the  bar in  horizontal
position,  for  example  during  tree  felling,   the  chain
brake   offers   less  protection,   because   it   can   be
activated  by  inertia  only,  since   the  user’s  hand  is
outside  the range  of  action of  the  front  hand guard
(fig.3).
REAR HAND GUARD
This  acts  to  protect(fig.5)  the  hand  in  the  case  of
chain breaking or derailing.
N.B.:  When  the  chain  brake  is  activated,  a   safety
switch cuts off all current to the motor.

BAR AND CHAIN ASSEMBLY
Assembly methods change according to the type of your machine- so please take care to refer to the illustrations
and  machine  type marked  on  the  label  (A-  Legend  – 9    [ES15  /  ES16  /  ES18] ),  Take  great  care  when
assembling to ensure this is performed correctly.

Oil the chain, then  position it over the pinion, making  it slide into the bar  guide groove, beginning with
the upper part.   Attention! Control that the  sharp side of the cutting  teeth face in a frontward  direction on
the upper part of  the bar; Set the chain tensioner pin  in the chain tensioner pin housing.  Mount the chain
cover making sure that the drive teeth of the chain are engaged in the pinion and in the guide groove.

Tensioning the  chain  too tightly  will overload  the  motor and  cause damage,  insufficient tension  can  provoke
chain derailing, whereas a chain tightened correctly provides the best cutting characteristics and  prolonged work
life. Check the tension regularly because the chain length  tends to stretch with use (especially when the chain is
new; after  the first assembly,  the chain  tension must be  controlled after 5  minutes machine  operation); in any
