3. Keep extension cord clear of the saw and
any obstacles at all times. Do not expose
the cord to heat, oil, water, or sharp edges.
WARNING: Never operate a Jawsaw
that is damaged or improperly adjusted
or that is not completely and securely
assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops
moving when the power control system
triggers are released. Never adjust the guide
bar or saw when power cord is connected.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
The trigger is locked to prevent accidental
starting.
There are two lock-out buttons (2), to
allow upright (cutting down from the top)
or inverted (cutting up from the bottom)
operation.
To switch on, press either lock-out button with
your thumb and squeeze the trigger (See Fig O).
To switch off, just release the trigger.
CUTTING
Check oil level window (5) prior to starting
and regularly during operation. Refill oil when
oil level is low.
Check newly replaced chain tension approx.
every 10 minutes during operation.
Always hold secondary handle firmly when
cutting (See Fig. P1, P2)
1. Connect saw and extension cord to
power.
2. Use both hands to grip saw firmly. Always
use left hand (1) to grip front handle and
right hand (2) to grip the rear handle.
Thumbs and fingers must wrap around
saw handles (See Fig. P1,P2).
3. WARNING: Make sure your footing is
firm and stable. Do not use the JawSaw
while standing on piles of branches or
while standing on a ladder.
HINT: When cutting branches which are
lying on the ground, place one foot on the
branch to prevent limb from moving (See
Fig. Q).
WARNING! Do not put your foot in the
Jaw teeth, keep your foot a safe distance
from the tool. (See Fig. Q)
4. Position the tool with the Jaw placed over
the desired limb to be cut.
WARNING: DO NOT force the cut. Let the
chain pull through the wood.
WARNING: When starting the saw make
sure the chain is not in contact with the
limb or branch to be cut.
5. Switch on the tool.
6. Push the rear handle towards the front
handle to complete the cut.
7. Switch off the tool after the bar and chain
have return to their starting position.
WARNING: When completing the cut
(step 6 above) do not push the handle
forcefully, let the spinning chain pull itself
through the wood.
WARNING: Using too much force
on the rear handle when cutting can
overload the tools motor.
CAUTION: At the end of each cut be
prepared to support the tools weight.
