4.1 Staaf- en Kettingmontering

1. Maak seker dat die enjin afgeskakel is en die kettingrem ontkoppel is.
2. Remove the side cover nuts and the side cover.
3. Place the guide bar onto the studs, ensuring the chain tensioner pin aligns with the hole in the bar.
4. Carefully fit the chain around the sprocket and into the groove of the guide bar. Ensure the cutting edges of the chain are facing the correct direction (refer to chain direction indicator on the bar).
5. Replace the side cover and hand-tighten the nuts. Do not fully tighten yet.
6. Adjust chain tension (see Section 5.2).

4.2 Fuel and Oil Preparation

The eSkde CS58-S7 uses a 2-stroke engine and requires a specific fuel mixture.

• Brandstofmengsel: Mix unleaded petrol with high-quality 2-stroke engine oil at a ratio of 25:1 (Petrol:Oil). Use the provided fuel mixing bottle for accurate measurement.
• Brandstofkapasiteit: The fuel tank capacity is 550ml.
• Ketting olie: Fill the chain oil tank with good quality chain lubricant. The chain oil tank capacity is 260ml. This oil automatically lubricates the chain and bar during operation.

Belangrik: Never use pure petrol in the chainsaw. Incorrect fuel mixture will cause severe engine damage and void the warranty.

5. Bedryfsinstruksies

5.1 Begin die kettingsaag

Cold Start Procedure:

1. Plaas die kettingsaag op 'n stewige, plat oppervlak.
2. Aktiveer die kettingrem deur die voorste handbeskermer vorentoe te druk.
3. Pull out the choke knob fully.
4. Druk die aanjaerbol 'n paar keer totdat brandstof in die terugvoerlyn sigbaar is.
5. Pull the starter cord firmly and steadily until the engine fires briefly (usually 1-3 pulls).
6. Push the choke knob halfway in.
7. Pull the starter cord again until the engine starts and runs.
8. Allow the engine to warm up for a few seconds, then disengage the chain brake by pulling the front hand guard back.

Warm Start Procedure:

1. Skakel die kettingrem in.
2. Pull the starter cord firmly and steadily until the engine starts. No choke or priming is usually needed.
3. Disengage the chain brake once the engine is running smoothly.

5.2 Chain Tension Adjustment

Correct chain tension is crucial for safe and efficient operation. The chain should be snug against the guide bar, but still able to be pulled around by hand with light effort.

1. Loosen the side cover nuts slightly.
2. Use the tensioning screw (usually located on the side cover or near the bar studs) to adjust the chain tension. Turn clockwise to tighten, counter-clockwise to loosen.
3. Once tension is correct, fully tighten the side cover nuts.
4. Check tension again after a few cuts, as new chains can stretch.

5.3 Snytegnieke

Always maintain a stable footing and a firm grip on the chainsaw. Plan your cuts to avoid pinching the bar or chain.

• Afkap: For felling trees, ensure the area is clear and plan the felling direction. Make a notch cut on the felling side, then a felling cut from the opposite side.
• Lemmetjies: Remove branches from a felled tree. Work from the base towards the top, supporting the branch if necessary to prevent pinching.
• Buik: Cutting a felled log into shorter sections. Use a sawhorse or elevate the log to avoid cutting into the ground.
