Wen 2600-T1 User Manual

21. Check damaged parts
Before further use of the tool, a guard
or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine
that it will operate properly and per-
form its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions
that may affect its operation. A guard
or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced by
an authorized service center unless
otherwise indicated elsewhere in this
instruction manual. Have defective
switches replaced by authorized
service center. Do not use tool if
switch does not turn it on and off.
. Grip saw firmly
Hold the chain saw firmly with both
hands when the motor is running. Use
a firm grip with the thumbs and fingers
encircling the chain saw handles.
Operate oiler only with thumb of right
hand.
. Clear work area
Do not start cutting until you have a
clear work area, secure footing, anda
planned retreat path from the falling
tree.
. Carrying saw
Carry the chain saw by the front
handle with the saw stopped, finger off
the switch, the guide bar and saw
chain to the rear.
. Consider work environment
Use extreme caution when cutting
small size brush and saplings be-
cause the slender material may catch
the saw chain and be whipped toward
you or pull you off balance. Do not
operate a chain saw in a tree unless
specifically trained to do so. When
cutting a limb that is under tension, be
alert for spring back so that you will
not be struck when the tension in the
wood fibers is released.
. Damaged parts
Do not operate a chain saw that is
damaged, improperly adjusted, or is
not completely and securely assem-
bled. Be sure that the saw chain stops
moving when the trigger is released.
. Maintain chain saws with care
Keep chain sharp and clean for best
and safest performance. Follow in-
structions for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories. Keep cord clear of
the chain and operator at all times.

Never carry saw by the cord or pull it
to disconnect from the receptacle.
Keep hands dry, clean, and free from
oil. When storing saw use a scabbard
or carying case.
. Guard against kickback
WARNING:
Kickback may occur when the nose
or tip of the guide bar touches an
object, or when the wood closes in,
and pinches the chain saw in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases, may cause
a lightning fast reverse reaction, kick-
ing the guide bar up and back towards
the operator. Pinching the saw chain
along the top of the guide bar may
push the guide bar rapidly back to-
wards the operator. Either of these
reactions may cause you to lose con-
trol of the saw, which could result in
serious injury to the user.
The following precautions should be
followed, to minimize kickback.
1) Grip saw firmly. Hold the chain saw
firmly with both hands, when the
motor is running. Use a firm grip
with thumbs and fingers encircling
the chain saw handles.
2) Do not over reach.
3) Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
4) Donotletthe nose of the guide bar
contact a log, branch, grounds or
other obstructions.
5) Do not cut above shoulder height.
6) Use devices such as low kickback
chain, guide bar nose guards,
chain brakes and special guide
bars that reduce the risks associ-
ated with kickback.
7) only use replacement bars and
chains specified by the manu-
facturer or the equivalent.
. Power supply
Connect chain saw to the correct
voltage. That is, be sure that the
voltage supplied is the same as that
specified on the nameplate of the tool.
. Never leave tool running un-
attended. Turn power off. Don't
leave tool until it comes to a complete
stop.
Make workshop kid proof with pad-
locks, master switches, or by remov-
ing starter keys.
This tool is intended for residential
use only.
