Before Use
Checking Chain Tension
Remove battery from unit when checking chain tension.
Always loosen sprocket cover nut before turning the chain tension
adjuster, otherwise damage can occur to the sprocket cover and
tensioner.
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.
