Operation, Preopertion Procedures | Stanley Black & Decker DS06

OPERATION

PREOPERTION PROCEDURES

CHECK THE POWER SOURCE

1.Using a calibrated ﬂ ow meter and pressure gauge, make sure the hydraulic power source develops a ﬂ ow of 7-9 gpm/26-34 lpm for the 8 gpm model and 4-6 gpm/15-23 lpm for the 5 gpm model at 2000 psi/140 bar.

2.Make certain that the power source is equipped with a relief valve set to open at 2100-2250 psi/145-155 bar.

3.Check that the hydraulic circuit matches the tool for open-center (OC) or closed-center (CC) operation. The DS06 is designed for open-center operation only.

CHECK TOOL

1.Make sure all tool accessories are correctly installed. Failure to install tool accessories properly can result in damage to the tool or personal injury.

2.There should be no signs of leaks.

3.The tool should be clean, with all ﬁ ttings and fasteners tight.

4.Observe the arrow on the couplers to ensure that the hydraulic oil ﬂ ow is in the proper direction. The female cou- pler is the inlet (pressure) coupler.

5.Check that the trigger operates smoothly and is free to travel between the "ON" and "OFF" positions.

6.Check that the chain is properly installed. The chain is designed to only operate in one direction. Make sure the chain is installed so the bumper guard precedes each dia- mond segment. See ﬁ gure 1.

CONNECT HYDRAULIC HOSES

1.Wipe all hose couplers with a clean lint-free cloth before making connections. If necessary, use a light-weight pen- etrating oil in a spray can to clean the hose couplers before each connection.

2.Connect the hoses from the hydraulic power source to the chain saw ﬁ ttings or quick disconnects. It is a good practice to connect return hose ﬁ rst and disconnect them last to minimize or avoid trapped pressure within the chain saw.

3.Observe the arrow on the couplers to ensure that the

ﬂow is in the proper direction. The female coupler on the chain saw is the inlet (pressure) coupler.

NOTE:

If uncoupled hoses are left in the sun, pressure in- crease inside the hoses might make them difﬁcult to connect. Whenever possible, connect the free ends of the hoses together.

CONNECTING TO A WATER SUPPLY

1.Using a standard garden hose, connect the DS06 to a city or auxiliary water supply. Make sure the ﬂ ow is at least 4 gpm/15 lpm at 50 psi/3.5 bar.

IMPORTANT

Chain and bar damage will occur if the tool operates without the proper water supply and water pressure.

2.Make sure the water is running before starting the tool.

3.If a water pump is being used, refer to the manufacturers instructions for use of the pump. Make sure the pump pro- duces a minimum watger ﬂ ow of 4 gpm/15 lpm at 50 psi/3.5 bar and the water pressure does not exceed 160 psi/11 bar.

CHECK CHAIN AND BAR ADJUSTMENT

Note:

Check the chain tension often during operation, expe- cially during the ﬁrst 1/2 hour when using a new chain. Adjust the chain accordingly when it becomes loose.

Follow the procedures contained in the Mainenance and Adjustements section of this manual.

1.Make sure the chain does not exceed a clearance of 5/16 in./8 mm from the bar (see ﬁ gure 2). Exceeding the maximum clearance increases the chance of the chain be- ing dislodged from the bar groove.
