OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before and during the
operation of your chain
saw, a few basic, but im-
portant rules must be
observed in order to in-
sure your safety and make
your cutting job easier.
Please take time to read these along with
the rest of your manual before attempting
to operate your saw.
1.
2.
Always wear eye protection.
Make sure that your extension cord is
of a suitable size per the chart on page
4 and is in good condition. Replace
damaged cords immediately. While
cutting, make sure the cord is notin the
Cutting area, will not interfere with your
escape route, or will not be caught on
branches and the like during cutting.
Connect cords as shown in fig. 15.
. WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE YOUR
SAW WITH ONE HAND.
(Fig. 16)
Hold the saw firmly with both hands and
with the fingers and thumbs encircling
both saw handles.
. Be sure of your footing. Keep your
‘weight evenly distributed on both feet.
. WARNING: STAND TO THE LEFT OF
THE SAW. (Fig. 17)
Never stand directly behind the chain
saw. Operate the saw with your left
hand on the front handle and your
right hand on the rear handle. Operate
oiler button only with the thumb of your
right hand.
. Always cut with the bucking spike set
against the wood. Start the saw and
pivot into the wood. (Fig. 18)
. WARNING: BEWARE OF KICK-
BACK. (Fig. 19)
When cutting, keep the nose of the
guide bar from contacting logs,
branches, the ground or any other
obstruction. This can cause KICK-
BACK which is a quick and danger-
ous upward movement of the guide
bar and saw chain.
. Before carrying the saw from one
location to another, always dis-
connect the extension cord. Carry the
saw by the front handle and with the
saw chain and guide bar pointing
backwards. See fig. 20.
. Make frequent use of the oiler while
operating the saw. Slight pressure on
the oil button with your right thumb,
two or three times per minute of
operation, will give your chain a suffi-
cient lubrication. For best results, oil
with the saw nose in a slight down-
ward position.
. Check oil level in tank regularly.
. Avoid motor overload and possible
motor burnout. Motor overload can be
caused by:
1) Starting the saw with the saw chain
pinched in a cut.
2) Forcing the saw into the wood to
the point where the speed is dra-
Stically reduced.
3) Using the saw with a dull or im-
properly sharpened saw chain.
4) A saw chain that is too tight.
5) The improper size extension cord.
