SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

it cannot affect the movement of the front hand guard, the chain brake can only be activated by the inertia of the counterweight.

The inertia activated chain brake is a valuable feature but there are certain factors to remember (see point above).

Throttle lock

The throttle lock is designed to prevent accidental operation of the throttle control. When you press the lock (A) (i.e. when you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle control (B). When you release the handle the throttle control and the throttle lock both move back to their original positions. This movement is controlled by two independent return springs. This arrangement means that the throttle control is automatically locked at the idle setting.

Chain catcher

The chain catcher is designed to catch the chain if it snaps or jumps off. This should not happen if the chain is properly tensioned (see instructions under the heading Assembly) and if the bar and chain are properly serviced and maintained (see instructions under the heading General working instructions).

Right hand guard

Apart from protecting your hand if the chain jumps or snaps, the right hand guard stops branches and twigs from interfering with your grip on the rear handle.

Vibration damping system

Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system that is designed to minimise vibration and make operation easier.

When you use a chain saw, vibration is generated by the uneven contact between the chain and the wood you are cutting.

Cutting hardwoods (most broadleaf trees) creates more vibration than cutting softwoods (most conifers). Cutting with cutting equipment that is blunt or faulty (wrong type or badly sharpened) will increase the vibration level. See instructions under the heading Cutting equipment.

The machines vibration damping system reduces the transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and the machines handle unit. The body of the chain saw, including the cutting equipment, is insulated from the handles by vibration damping units.

WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can

!lead to circulatory damage or nerve damage in people who have impaired circulation. Contact your doctor if you experience symptoms of overexposure to vibration. Such symptoms include numbness, loss of feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in skin colour or condition. These symptoms normally appear in the fingers, hands or wrists. The risk increases at low temperatures.

Stop switch

Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.

CS 2141 EPA II, CS 2145 EPA II, CS 2150 EPA I specifications

The Jonsered CS 2150 EPA I, CS 2145 EPA II, and CS 2141 EPA II are premium chainsaws engineered for both professional users and serious enthusiasts. These models exemplify Jonsered's commitment to power, efficiency, and user-friendly design, making them ideal for a variety of cutting tasks, from felling trees to trimming branches.

The Jonsered CS 2150 EPA I is a robust chainsaw that offers a powerful engine combined with advanced features. It boasts a 50.2 cc engine that delivers exceptional cutting performance while adhering to strict EPA emissions standards. The chainsaw is equipped with the X-Torq engine technology, which significantly reduces fuel consumption and emissions, enabling users to work longer while minimizing environmental impact. Additionally, the CS 2150 features a high chain speed of 22.3 m/s, allowing for swift and clean cuts.

The CS 2145 EPA II further enhances performance with its lightweight design, making it easy to maneuver for prolonged use without fatigue. Powered by a 45.7 cc engine, it combines efficiency with raw power, providing reliable performance for both professionals and homeowners. The inclusion of an easy-start system means that users can start the saw with minimal effort, which is especially advantageous during colder weather or when working in challenging environments. Its validated safety features, including a chain brake and low kickback bar, ensure user protection during operation.

The CS 2141 EPA II offers a perfect balance of power and manageability. With a smaller 40.9 cc engine, it is particularly suited for users looking for an efficient saw that doesn't compromise on performance. The lightweight design allows for easy handling, particularly in dense and difficult terrain. Like the other models, it utilizes the X-Torq engine technology, which ensures reduced emissions and optimal fuel efficiency. Its precise design and ergonomic handle make it comfortable for extended periods of use, catering to both professional loggers and landscape maintenance users.

Each of these models shares characteristics such as an efficient air filtration system, which prolongs engine life by keeping dirt and debris out. In addition, they are designed with vibrations dampening technology, reducing fatigue for the user. The easy access to the filter and spark plug simplifies maintenance, ensuring the chainsaws remain in peak condition.

In conclusion, the Jonsered CS 2150 EPA I, CS 2145 EPA II, and CS 2141 EPA II represent a solid lineup of chainsaws that combine power, efficiency, and safety. With advanced technologies and thoughtful design, they cater to a wide range of cutting needs, making them indispensable tools for anyone serious about their work in forestry, landscaping, or yard maintenance.
