Trouble shooting
Trouble shooting can be carried out with most components
in place on the saw. For trouble shooting an ohmmeter
is required.
Carry out trouble shooting as follows:
1. Remove the cylinder cover and disconnect the
connector on the red lead at A. See g. 9.
2. Prise out the on/off switch with the help of a
screwdriver. See g. 8.
3. Switch the on/off switch to position ”0”.
4. Connect the ohmmeter as shown in g. 9 and
measure the resistance in the rear hand grip heating
element. The meter should read 0.7 - 1.2 Ω.
If the reading is higher, replace the rear hand grip
element.
5. Connect the ohmmeter as shown in g. 10
and measure the resistance in the front
handle heating element. The meter should read 3 - 4
Ω. If the reading is higher, replace the front hand grip.
6. Connect the ohmmeter as shown in g. 11
and measure the resistance in the generator.
The ohmmeter should read between 0.9 - 1.3 Ω.
If the reading is higher or lower, replace the generator.
7. Disconnect one of the connections to the on/off
switch and connect the ohmmeter as shown in g. 12.
The meter should read more than 1000 Ω with the
switch In the ”0” position.
The meter should read at most 0.1 Ω when the
switch is in the ”1” position.
8. Reassemble the relevant components.
Some chainsaws are equipped with hand grip heating.
The hand grip heater comprises the following components.
• Generator
• On/off switch
• Heating element in the rear hand grip (tank unit).
• Front hand grip with heating element.
