Operating Tips
• You have to make sure that the Powerhouse Chainsaw Winch is anchored to something
heavier and more solid than the object that you are trying to move.
• To anchor your Powerhouse Chainsaw Winch to a tree, use a belt. Connect it directly to
the winch, or use another cable or chain, as needed.
• You can also use a vehicle as an anchor. Attach a cable or chain attached securely
to the vehicle’s frame. If your vehicle happens to have a 2” receiver hitch, you can use a
trailer-hitch mount (not included).
• If you have a hard time releasing the clutch because there is still a lot of tension on the
cable, try using a chain-binder in your anchor set-up. This will let you to release the cable
tension easily.
WARNING: Always engage the hand brake before releasing the clutch under load.
• Use a bungee cord on the brake handle to keep tension on the brake when unspooling
the cable to prevent “birdnesting.”

much noise you can expect while operating the winch, consult your chainsaw’s
owner’s manual.
