Chain Saw WG303E
General behavior
Always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands. Front
grip with the left hand and rear grip with the right hand.
Fully grip both handles at all times during operation.
Never operate chain saw using only one hand. Ensure
power cord is located to the rear, away from the chain
and wood and so positioned that it will not be caught on
branches or the like during cutting. (See Fig. G)
Use the chain saw only with secure footing. Hold the
chain saw at the right-hand side of your body. (See Fig. I)
The chain must be running at full speed before it makes
contact with the wood. Use the metal gripping teeth to
secure the saw onto the wood before starting to cut.
Use the gripping teeth(9) as a leverage point “a” while
cutting. (See Fig. J)
Reset the gripping teeth at a low point when sawing
thicker logs by pulling the chain saw slightly backwards
until the gripping teeth release, and reposition at lower
level to continue sawing. Do not remove the saw
completely from the wood.
Do not force the chain while cutting, let the chain do
the work, using the gripping teeth to apply minimal
leverage pressure.
Do not operate the chain saw with arms fully extended
or attempt to saw areas which are difficult to reach, or
on a ladder. Never use the chain saw above shoulder
height. (See Fig. K)
Sawing is optimized when the chain speed remains
steady during cutting.
Beware when reaching the end of the cut. The weight of
the saw may change unexpectedly as it cuts free from
the wood. Accidents can occur to the legs and feet.
Always remove the saw from a wood cut while the saw
is running.
Cutting logs
Observe the following safety instructions:
Support logs so that the face sides at the cut do not
close in against each other, which would result in the
chain being jammed or pinched. (See Fig. I,L)
Position and set short logs safety prior to sawing. Saw
only wood or wooden objects. When sawing, always
take care to avoid hitting stones, nails, ect, as these
could be thrown up or cause damage to the chain or
serious injury to the operator or bystanders.
Keep a running saw clear or wire fencing or the ground.
Use of the saw to thin out branches or bushes is not
approved.
Length cuts must be carried out with care, as leverage
with the gripping teeth(9)is not possible. Saw at a flat
angle to avoid kickback.
