The chain brake can be activated in two modes: the first using the left wrist by pushing forwards, or when it comes into contact with the brake system as a result of kickback; or by inertia, in the case of particularly violent kickback.

When the machine is used with the bar in horizontal position, for example during tree felling, the chain brake offers less protection, because it can be activated by inertia only, since the user’s hand is outside the range of action of the front hand guard (fig.3).

N.B.: When the chain brake is activated, a safety switch cuts off all current to the motor.

CHAIN CATCHER

This machine is equipped with a chain catcher (fig.4) located under the pinion. This mechanism is designed to arrest the backward chain movement in the case of chain breaking or derailing. These situations can be avoided by ensuring correct chain tension (Refer to chapter “D. Assembly/disassembly”).

REAR HAND GUARD

This acts to protect(fig.5) the hand in the case of chain breaking or derailing.

BAR AND CHAIN ASSEMBLY

Assembly methods change according to the type of your machine- so please take care to refer to the illustrations and machine type marked on the label (A- Legend – 9 [ES15 / ES16 / ES18] ), Take great care when assembling to ensure this is performed correctly.

Tensioning the chain too tightly will overload the motor and cause damage, insufficient tension can provoke chain derailing, whereas a chain tightened correctly provides the best cutting characteristics and prolonged work life. Check the tension regularly because the chain length tends to stretch with use (especially when the chain is new; after the first assembly, the chain tension must be controlled after 5 minutes machine operation); in any

Chain Saw specifications

The Electrolux Chain Saw is a powerful tool designed for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts who demand reliability and performance in their cutting equipment. Known for its efficiency and innovative technology, the Electrolux chain saw combines a variety of features that make it stand out in the market.

One of the key characteristics of the Electrolux chain saw is its ergonomic design. The saw is engineered for comfort during extended use, with a lightweight body that reduces fatigue. The anti-vibration technology further enhances user experience by minimizing hand strain. This feature is particularly important for those who need to work for long periods, allowing for greater control and precision.

Electrolux chain saws are equipped with high-performance motors that provide impressive cutting power. The motor's efficiency ensures that the saw can tackle tough tasks with ease, making it suitable for cutting through various types of wood, from soft to hard varieties. This versatility, combined with a sharp, durable chain, allows users to adapt the saw for different cutting applications, whether it’s felling trees, pruning branches, or slicing firewood.

Safety is a paramount consideration in the design of Electrolux chain saws. Many models come with advanced safety features, such as chain brake systems that automatically stop the chain in the event of kickback. Additionally, the rear safety guard protects the operator’s hands from the chain, reducing the risk of injury during operation.

Another notable technology employed in Electrolux chain saws is the Easy Start mechanism. This feature facilitates an effortless startup process, allowing users to get to work quickly without the frustration of difficult pull starts. The chain tensioning system is also user-friendly, enabling easy adjustments to ensure optimal chain performance.

Moreover, Electrolux focuses on environmental sustainability, and some of its chain saw models are designed with eco-friendly engines that produce lower emissions. This commitment not only contributes to cleaner air but also aligns with the growing demand for sustainable gardening and cutting solutions.

In summary, the Electrolux chain saw stands out for its ergonomic design, powerful motor, advanced safety features, easy startup technology, and eco-friendly options. Whether used for professional landscaping or casual home maintenance, this chain saw combines performance and user-friendliness, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of cutting tasks.
