1. Chain tension should be checked
frequently during work and
adjusted if necessary.
2. Tension the chain as tight as
possible, but so that it can still be
pulled easily along the guide bar by
hand.
Chain Lubrication Test
Hold the chain just above a dry
surface and open the throttle to
half speed for 30 seconds.
A thin line of “thrown” oil should be
seen on the dry surface.
Pre Cutting Test
• Familiarize yourself with your chainsaw before you start actual cutting.
• For this purpose it may be wise to practice by cutting some small logs or
limbs several times on a sawhorse or cradle.
• Do not allow either people or animals into the work area. Multiple
operators - Keep a safe distance between two or more operators when
working together simultaneously.
Correct Use of Chain Brake
Kickback is very hazardous. If the tip of the bar touches wood
or the like, the guide bar kicks back instantly. The chain brake
reduces the possibility of injury due to kickback. Always check
that the chain brake works properly before use. Otherwise
serious personal injury can result.
