SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

C General advice on setting raker clearance

•When you sharpen the cutting teeth you reduce the

RAKER CLEARANCE (cutting depth). To maintain cutting performance you must file back the raker teeth to the recommended height.

See the ”Technical data” section to find the raker clearance for your saw chain.

•On a low-kickback cutting link the front edge of the raker lip is rounded. It is very important that you maintain this radius or bevel when you adjust the raker clearance.

•We recommend the use of a raker gauge to achieve the correct clearance and bevel on the raker lip.

The risk of kickback is increased if the raker clearance is too large!

D Setting the raker clearance

•Before setting the raker clearance the cutting teeth should be newly sharpened.

We recommend that you adjust the raker clearance every third time you sharpen the chain. NOTE! This recommendation assumes that the length of the cutting teeth is not reduced excessively.

• To adjust the raker clearance you will need a FLAT FILE and a RAKER GAUGE.

• Place the gauge over the raker lip.

•Place the file over the part of the lip that protrudes through the gauge and file

off the excess. The clearance is correct when you no longer feel any resistance as you draw the file over the gauge.

3 Tensioning the chain

A slack chain may jump off and cause serious or even fatal injury.

•The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up the slack.

•Check the chain tension every time you refuel.

NOTE! A new saw chain has a running-in period during which you should check the tension more frequently.

•Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight that you cannot pull it round freely by hand.

Additionally, the CS2163 incorporates the Smart Start technology that reduces the resistance in the starter cord, allowing users to start the saw with minimal effort.

The CS2171, on the other hand, is a more advanced model designed for heavy-duty applications. This saw comes with a 3.4 kW engine and boasts a larger cutting capacity, making it perfect for professional users who tackle more demanding tasks. Its X-Torq engine design significantly lowers fuel consumption and emissions, aligning with environmental standards while delivering exceptional power. The CS2171 also features an anti-vibration system that enhances user comfort during extended cutting sessions, therefore maximizing productivity without sacrificing ease of use.

The CS2165 occupies a sweet spot between the CS2163 and CS2171, offering a balance of power and efficiency. Powered by a 3.2 kW engine, it provides ample performance for most tasks while still being lightweight for easy maneuverability. This model includes the same Quick-Release Air Filter found in the CS2163, making maintenance a breeze. The CS2165 also features an adjustable oil pump, allowing users to customize the oil flow to the chain based on their specific cutting needs, enhancing the longevity of both the saw and the chain.

All three models prioritize user safety, featuring a chain brake system that quickly halts the chain in case of kickback. Furthermore, the ergonomic design of the handles offers a comfortable grip, reducing fatigue during longer cutting sessions.

In summary, the Jonsered CS2163, CS2171, and CS2165 are exceptional chainsaws that cater to the needs of professionals and enthusiasts alike, combining power, technology, and ease of use in one reliable package.
