2. CUTTING
IMPORTANT: Is the oil reservoir
filled? Check the Oil Level Window
(4) prior to starting and regularly during
operation. Refill oil when oil level is low.
A full oil tank will last approx. 12
minutes depending on sawing intensity
and stops (See Fig. J1).
Check recent replaced chain tension
about every 10 minutes during
operation.”
(1) Connect saw to extension cord. Connect
extension cord to power supply. (See Fig.
J2 )
(2) Make sure section of log to be cut is not
laying on the ground. This will keep the
chain (10) from touching the ground as it
cuts through the log.
Touching the ground while the Chain is
moving is dangerous and will dull the
Chain.
(3) Use both hands to grip saw. Always use left
hand to grip Front Handle(6)and right hand
to grip Rear Handle (1). Use a firm grip.
Thumbs and fingers must wrap around saw
handles (See Fig.J3 ).
(4) Make sure your footing is firm. Keep
shoulder width feet apart. Divide your
weight evenly on both feet.
(5) When ready to make a cut, push the Lock-
off Button (3) completely in with the right
thumb and squeeze the trigger. This will
turn saw on. Releasing the trigger will turn
the saw off. Make sure the saw is running
at full speed before starting a cut.
(6) When starting a cut, slowly place moving
chain against the wood. Hold saw firmly in
place to avoid possible bouncing or skating
(sideways movement) of saw.
(7) Guide the saw using light pressure and
do not put excessive force on the saw. The
motor will overload and can burn out. It will
do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was intended.
(8) Remove the saw from a cut with the saw
running at full speed. Stop the saw by
releasing the On/off Switch (2). Make sure
the chain has stopped before setting the
saw down.
(9) Keep practicing on scrap logs in a secure
working area until you get the hang of it
and can saw with ease, using a fluid motion
and a steady cutting rate.
KICKBACK SAFETY DEVICES ON THIS
SAW
This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced
kickback Guide Bar. Both items reduce the
chance of kickback. However, kickback can still
occur with this saw.
The following steps will reduce the risk of
kickback.
• Use both hands to grip saw while saw is
running. Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers
must wrap around saw handles.
• Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make
sure they work properly.
• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder
height.
• Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
• Stand slightly to left side of saw. This keeps
your body from being in direct line with
chain.
• Do not let Guide Bar nose touch anything
when chain is moving.
• Never try cutting through two logs at same
time. Only cut one log at a time.
• Do not bury the Guide Bar nose or try
plunge cut (boring into wood using Guide
Bar nose).
• Watch for shifting of wood or other forces
that may pinch chain.
• Use extreme caution when reentering a
previous cut.
• Use only the low-kickback chain and Guide
Bar(9)that were supplied with this chain
saw.
• Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain
sharp with proper tension.
