1. Introduction Thank you for purchasing a Cobra chainsaw. We believe that, properly maintained, this unit will provide years of trouble-free operation. This saw has been designed and manufactured with the utmost care in accordance with strict standards of security, reliability and ease of use. Please read this manual carefully. Familiarise yourself with all the components of the saw before starting to use it for the first time.
2. Safety Instructions Your electric chainsaw should always be used in accordance with this manual. 2.1 Safety Symbols and Labels IMPORTANT: Some of the following symbols may be used on this tool. Please study them and learn their meaning. Proper interpretation of these symbols will allow you to use the unit more effectively and reduce risk. Danger! Warning! Caution! This symbol indicates a danger, warning or caution. It indicates that the operator safety is at stake.
Maintenance of the machine Remove the plug from the socket before all adjustment operations, cleaning, transport, maintenance or when you leave the chainsaw unattended Do not expose the unit to rain Never expose the machine to rain or wet conditions. Do not use this machine in the rain. Never use if the machine is wet. Damaged power cord Never use an appliance when the power cord is damaged or frayed. Disconnect the plug from the electrical outlet immediately.
2.2 Before using the saw • • • Study this manual thoroughly. Familiarise yourself with the operation of the saw and learn how to use it properly. Never allow others who have not read the manual to use the machine. Make sure adequate training is given before use. Never allow Children to use this machine. • If the chainsaw is re-sold make sure this manual is sold as part of the machine. • Never remove the labels or security elements.
2.3 When using the saw Do not cut with the tip of the guide bar. Hold the saw with both hands. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Operate the electric chain saw only in daylight or good artificial lighting. The use of power equipment can be regulated. Remember to comply with legal regulations which may differ from one location to another. Do not use the machine if you are tired or ill. Also avoid use if you have consumed alcohol or taken drugs. A lack of concentration can result in serious injury.
WARNING: To reduce the time of exposure to vibration and noise, it is preferable to use the machine with frequent breaks, and limiting the duration of continuous work. WARNING: The vibration level during actual use of the chainsaw may differ from the declared depending on what material is being cut with different factors of stem diameter ̀ density and fibre composition to name a few. 2.3.1 CHAIN BRAKE. The chain brake is a safety mechanism activated through the front hand guard.
2.3.2 OVERLOAD PROTECTION. Overloading (e.g. blocking of the cutting blade, blade teeth jammed) causes the machine to stop and the overload protector will be activated. 2.3.3 KICKBACK. (See Fig. 2) Kickback is the sudden backward/upward motion of the chain saw, occurring when the chain (at the tip of the chain bar) comes in contact with a log or wood, or when the chain becomes jammed. When kickback occurs the chain saw reacts unpredictably and can cause severe injuries to the operator or bystanders.
The chain must be running at full speed before it makes contact with the wood. Use the metal gripping teeth to secure the saw onto the wood before starting to cut. Use the gripping teeth (12) as a leverage point while cutting. (See Fig.3b) 3b - - Reset the gripping teeth at a low point when sawing thicker logs by pulling the chain saw slightly backwards until the gripping teeth release, and reposition at lower level to continue sawing. Do not remove the saw completely from the wood.
- - Position and set short logs safety prior to sawing. Only saw wood or wooden objects. When sawing, always take care to avoid hitting stones, nails, etc, as these could be thrown up or cause damage to the chain or serious injury to the operator or bystanders. Keep a running saw clear of wire fencing or the ground. Use of the saw to thin out branches or bushes is not approved. Length cuts must be carried out with care, as leverage with the gripping teeth (17) is not possible.
- - - 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 keeps the tree from twisting and falling in the wrong direction. Do not cut through the hinge. As the felling gets close to the hinge the tree should begin to fall.
3). Bucking a log. Bucking 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. Follow the simple directions for easy cutting. When the log is supported along its entire as illustrated, it is cut from the top (overbuck). (See Fig.
When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the log, as illustrated. When “cutting through”, to maintain complete control release the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the chain saw handles. Don’t let the chain contact the ground. After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you move the chain saw. Always stop the motor before moving from tree to tree. (See Fig. 7d) 7d 2.4.
3. Instructions for use 3.1 Preparation of the chainsaw 3.1.1 Mounting guide bar and chain Attention: Wear gloves when handling the saw to prevent accidents relating to the the chain and bar spikes that are extremely sharp. Attention: Do not plug the machine in to the power source during assembly. WARNING! Assembly methods according to the type of your machine, so please take care to refer to the illustrations and machine type marked on the label.
6). Mount the bar on the bar fastening bolt (16), fit the chain onto the drive sprocket (17) and guide the guide bar, so that the bar fastening bolt and the two guide pins (B) fit into the keyway of the guide bar. (See Fig. 11) 7). Fit side cover, ensure that the bar fastening bolt fits into the screw thread of the locking knob (14). Screw on the locking knob to tighten the side cover. (See Fig. 12). 11 12 8). The chain is not yet tensioned now.
The chain life of the saw chain mainly depends upon sufficient lubrication and correct tensioning. Avoid tensioning the chain if it is hot, as this will cause the chain to become over tensioned when it cools down. 1). Place the chain saw on any suitable flat surface. Screw adjustable outside ring clockwise until the SDS system is screwed tightly. The correct chain tension will be reached automatically. The 13 ratchet mechanism prevents the chain tension from loosening. (See Fig. 13) 2).
3.1.3 CHAIN AND BAR LUBRICATIPON WARNING! The chain saw is not supplied filled with oil. It is essential to fill with oil before use. Never operate the chainsaw without chain oil or at an empty oil tank level, as this will result in extensive damage to the chainsaw. Never starve the bar and chain of lubrication oil. Running the saw dry or with too little oil will decrease cutting efficiency, shorten chain saw life, and cause rapid wear of the chain and excessive wear of the bar from overheating.
3.2 Using the chainsaw Before use, make sure that you have the correct safety equipment and that the plug and lead are in good working order. Also check the status of the chain and the chain guide and the fixing system. If necessary, replace or repair defective components. Use only original parts approved by Cobra Garden. WARNING: Never work with a guide bar and a damaged or excessively worn chain as this may cause personal injury. 3.2.1 Starting chainsaw WARNING! Check the voltage and current supply.
3.2.2 Stopping the chainsaw • Release the Trigger On / Off to stop the machine. • The chain stops completely after a few seconds. • Disconnect the plug source for safety. • Replace the front hand guard/chain brake level in place. 3.2.3 Tips for cutting • • • • • • • Use only for sawing wood (tree trunks, branches, planks and beams). Never use the saw for cutting other materials. Take care that the chain does not come into contact with the ground or foreign materials other than wood.
pinching either the saw chain or the guide bar when the second notch is being made. - Felling back cut: make the felling back cut (Y) at least 50 mm 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 keeps the tree from twisting and falling in the wrong direction. Do not cut through the hinge. - As the felling gets close to the hinge the tree should begin to fall.
3.3 Cleaning, storage, transportation and Maintenance Before any work on the electric chainsaw, disconnect the plug from the wall socket. 3.3.1 Cleaning the chainsaw Regular cleaning after use will ensure a better functioning electric chainsaw and reduce the risk of corrosion or rust. CAUTION: Never immerse the electric chainsaw in water or any other liquid for cleaning. Never clean the appliance with high pressure water.
