Hand guard must be in the "set" position or saw will not operate.
DO NOT OVER-TENSION CHAIN. Refer to page 10 for proper method.
Retighten chain frequently during first two hours of use.
Double insulated tools have two layers of electrical insulation for protection against electric shock.
To reduce electric shock risk, use a polarized plug with a suitable polarized extension cord.
Ensure extension cord is in good condition and heavy enough to carry the product's current.
Cluttered areas invite injuries. Ensure clear work area, secure footing, and planned retreat path.
Use caution with small brush/saplings. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless trained.
Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces like metal pipes or wire fences.
Be cautious when cutting treated wood (e.g., CCA) to avoid inhalation and skin contact.
Tool may generate dust causing cancer. Use appropriate respiratory protection.
Do not operate damaged saw. Ensure chain stops when trigger released. Do not operate with one hand.
Oil new chains before first use. Use only one brand of oil for consistency and longevity.
Pull front guard back to "set" position for auto-stop function.
Inertia brake activates on kickback by pushing front guard forward.
Verify chain stops quickly upon trigger release or kickback event.
Check chain tension by pulling 1/8" away from bar. Ensure no sag. Do not over-tension.
Use built-in retainer to secure cord to saw handle. Plug into tool's power supply cord.
Process of cutting down a tree. Plan retreat path, consider tree lean, wind, and overhead hazards.
Ensure reservoir is not below a quarter full. Top off if low.
Clean guide bar and chain. Ensure oil hole is clear. Turn guide bar 180° for even wear.
Keep cutters sharp for best performance. Use file holder for correct angles. File cutters from inside to outside.
Troubleshoot common issues: saw not starting, chain not stopping, hot bar/chain. Check fuses, GFCI, tension, oil.
