Kruger Saw instruction manual

Before you start working with your German Krüger chainsaw you should study the operating instructions. This will help you to understand the operation and construction of the chain saw and prevent possible breakdowns and damage to the operator.

1. The Krüger chain saw runs on a mixture of oil and fuel. It is recommended to use synthetic or synthetic 2T grade lubricants and gasoline should meet the AI 92 standard. It is not recommended to use fuel with a higher octane number, low-quality fuel or if it has been in the garage for a long time. The recommended ratio of gasoline to oil is 1:25 (25 grams of oil to 1 liter of gasoline).

Make sure that the Kruger chain is a saw before you start. There should be no cracks or other damage, the chain should be securely tensioned on the bar, and the fuel tank should be at least 1/4 full.

Care must be taken when working. Consider where you fall when rolling out trees or stumps from branches so that you do not harm others around you. When cutting a log cabin, start at the base and move toward the crown.

If you are doing the job in the winter, don’t point the engine immediately, but wait 2-3 minutes for it to warm up.

When working with the Kruger chain, the operator must wear protective rush gear: goggles, overalls, and boots.

Kruger Maintenance

To maximize the life of the Kruger, regular maintenance should be performed in accordance with the recommendations in the Operator’s Manual.

Make sure the fuel mixture is available and of good quality before starting the plant. If the belt has not been used for 1 month or more, drain the remaining fuel and refill with fresh fuel.

When performing sawing, the tire maker is responsible for rotating the chain, and after receiving loads tends to wash on one or the other. To evenly distribute the clothes over the entire length, he should turn 180 degrees once a week.

When working with a chainsaw Krüger (Germany), the main load is on the chain. That is why it is important to check its condition and to have it checked regularly. The first signs that the chain is blunt are:

1. Strong vibration when sawing.
2. Too much chain oil consumption.
3. Uneven sawing.
4. Heavy sawing forces.

The rules for properly sharpening the teeth on your Kruger gasoline-powered saw are in the instruction manual. You will need a round and rectangular file and a template for the deep stop. All of these are included in the factory kit.

Description of the basic irregularities

Despite the fact that Kruger chainsaws are made in Germany and are of high quality, they are prone to fail regularly, and the rules of correction, the most common errors, every owner of this tool should know.

If the engine does not start on its own during operation:

1. Improper starting processes.
2. Formed fouling or uneven gap in the ignition light.
3. Clogged air filter.
4. Missing fuel spark plug.

When the engine starts but does not produce the required output:

1. Clogged air filter.
2. Improper carburetor operation.
3. Wrong proportion of fuel mixture.

Then I bought a Kruger chainsaw and work in the village half a day at a time. At least there is some dime. In the end, I am satisfied with your work. Maintenance is simple, fill up the oil and go to work. Starts up no problem in any weather. Sits everything. And I work on it quite often: at least twice a week for three or four hours for three years. And when I’m not working, I’ve watched them.”

Maxim, 51, Tver:

“I start the saw since the second season, but it always starts with a half-turn, as the first time. I like the quality of the workmanship and the low fuel and oil consumption. When I called the service center for advice on setting the RPM, I got a detailed answer to my question. I am satisfied, now I want to buy a new Krüger trimmer. “

Description Krüger GCSK 35-45

Kruger chainsaw is a semi-professional tool, which is indispensable both in private sector and at home, as well as in production. Purpose of the saw: felling trees, crowning, gardening, vegetable gardening, preparation of fuel, construction work (outdoors). Kruger GCSK 35-45 chain saws have a very rugged plastic housing, which houses a powerful two-stroke internal combustion engine rated at 4.5 liters. С. The engine is started by means of a starter rope with an easy start system Ergo Start. The manufacturer has taken care of the safety of the device owner by equipping the Kruger chainsaw with a chain brake with a shield. The brake is triggered in the event of a reverse impact, the moment the hand touches the protective shield. Check the brake before operating the tool and do not operate unless the chain has stopped.

The Kruger chainsaw is also equipped with an effective vibration damping system. The dampers and rubberized grips on the engine and handles do their job of protecting the chainsaw operator from the harmful effects of vibration. The Kruger chainsaw chain and guide bar are particularly stressed, as these are the main working organs of the power tool. A lubrication system is provided for longer service life. The chainsaw body has a 0.260 liter oil tank and a pump that moves the lubricant through the oil channels to the bar. The chain is lubricated automatically when the chain is rotating and is no longer fed when the chain is idling. The amount of oil can be set with the supplied tool. The manufacturer has equipped its chainsaw with a 45 cm long sword and a low-profile chain with a division of 0.325. Two guide bars and two chains are included at once for the operator’s convenience. The guide bars are double-sided, which further increases their service life.

Precise cutting is ensured by the toothed stop (included), which prevents the saw from jumping when sawing. The chain clamping system is instrumental and the chain tensioner is located on the side of the chainsaw.

Safety precautions

• All work outdoors;
• Use personal protective equipment (goggles, gloves, earmuffs) and protective clothing;
• Do not allow chainsaw to be operated by weight or indoors;
• Do not cut with the end of the bar – this causes a hiccup that can impair the saw operator’s performance;
• Make sure there are no bystanders in the provider’s work area;
• Do not operate a defective tool (no chain brake, no lubrication, no idle speed setting);
• Sharpen the chain in a timely manner, turn the saw blade;
• Clean the tool of impurities in due time;
• Do not smoke near the chain saw, gasoline fumes can cause ignition.

The Krüger GCSK 35-45 chain saw comes with

• Gasoline saw;
• Supplied with: 2 chains + 2 saw blades;
• Protective cover for the bar;
• STUI for a chain made of plastic;
• Skin protection;
• A number of tools (screwdriver, wrench, nozzles);
• Container with measures for making the fuel mixture;
• Instruction manual;
• Package.

Installation

The procedure is as follows:

1. Assemble the chainsaw, mount the equipment, tighten the chain mechanism.
2. Prepare fuel mixture (unleaded gasoline AI-92 + engine oil 2T).
3. Fill your Kruger chain saw with operating fluids.
4. Perform cold loading by following the clear instructions in the manual.
5. Check the operation of the brake system.
6. Check idle speed (adjust carburetor if necessary).
7. Check oil flow to chain (adjustment if necessary).

1. Preparing the fuel mixture takes some time. The fuel mix consists of unleaded gasoline AI-92 and engine oil 2T in the ratio 1/40. Do not add fuel mixture which has been stored for more than one month – it will lose its properties.

running-in period

The running-in period starts right after the first start and lasts about 20 hours, 20 hours is about 8 fills of a burnt tank. During the running-in period, the chainsaw is used sparingly, the loads should not exceed 50% of the engine power. The running-in period is the time of grinding, breaking-in of all moving parts of the engine, transmission, etc. With increased loads, the piston can jam, intake and exhaust valves can knock, etc. All this can lead to complete and irreversible failure of the power plant.

Important: the fuel mixture during the running-in period is prepared differently, the ratio of gasoline to engine oil is not 40/1, but 25/1!

TECHNICAL SERVICE

The Kruger chainsaw requires the following periodic maintenance:

1. Clean sawdust and oil/gasoline stains from the body, headset, drive pinion, and guide holes.
2. Lubricate rotating parts.
3. filter cleaning.
4. Cleaning of spark plugs, timely replacement (after 100-150 hours of operation).
5. Adjustment work (carburetor, oil pump).
