56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW30
CUTTING
Basic Cutting
WARNING:
Always be sure of your footing and hold the chain saw firmly with
both hands while the motor is running.
Practice cutting a few small logs using the following technique to get the “feel” of using
your saw before you begin a major sawing operation.
1. Take the proper stance in front of the wood with the saw off.
2. Press the lock-off button and squeeze the trigger to start the chain saw. Let the
chain reach the full speed before beginning the cut.
3. Begin cutting by lightly pressing the guide bar against the wood. Use only light
pressure, letting the saw do the work.
4. Maintain a steady speed throughout the cut, releasing pressure just before the
end of the cut.
5. Release the trigger as soon as the cut is completed, allowing the chain to stop.
WARNING:
When the saw chain is stopped due to pinching during cutting,
release the trigger switch; remove the saw chain and guide bar from the wood, then
restart the chain saw.
WARNING:
Do not pull the saw chain with hand when it is bound by the sawdust.
Serious injury could result if the chain saw starts accidentally. Press the saw chain against
the wood, move the chain saw back and forth to discharge the debris. Always remove the
battery pack before cleaning. Wear heavy protective gloves when handling the saw chain.
WARNING:
Never start the chain saw when it is in contact with the wood. Always
allow the chain saw reach full speed before applying the saw to the wood.
