(19) prior to starting and regularly during
operation. Refill oil when oil level is low. The
oil tank filling will last approx. 16minutes,
depending on sawing intensity and stops.
(Fig. G2)
Check new replaced chain tension approx.
every 10 minutes during operation.
1. Connect saw to extension cord. Connect
extension cord to power supply.
2. Make sure section of log to be cut is not
laying on ground. This will keep chain from
touching ground as it cuts through log.
Touching ground with moving chain will
dull chain.
3. Use both hands to grip saw. Always use
left hand to grip front handle and right
hand to grip rear handle. Use firm grip.
Thumbs and fingers must wrap around
saw handles.(See Fig.H)
4. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet
apart. Divide your weight evenly on both
feet.
5. When ready to make a cut, push the lock-
off button completely forward with the
right thumb and squeeze the trigger. This
will turn saw on. Releasing trigger will turn
saw off. Make sure saw is running at full
speed before starting a cut.
6. When starting a cut, place moving chain
against wood. Hold saw firmly in place
to avoid possible bouncing or skating
(sideways movement) of saw.
7. Guide saw using light pressure. Do not
force saw. The motor will overload and can
burn out. It will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was intended.
8. Remove saw from a cut with saw running
at full speed. Stop saw by releasing trigger.
Make sure chain has stopped before
setting saw down.
9. Practice until you can maintain a steady,
even cutting rate.
KICKBACK SAFETY DEVICES ON THIS
SAW
This saw has a low-kickback chain and
reduced kickback chain bar. Both items reduce
the chance of kickback. Kickback can still occur
with this saw.
The following steps will reduce the risk of
kickback.
• Use both hands to grip saw while saw is
running. Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers
must wrap around saw handles.
• Keep all safety items in place on saw.
Make sure they work properly.
• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder
height.
• Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
• Stand slightly to left side of saw. This keeps
your body from being in direct line with
chain.
• Do not let guide bar nose touch anything
when chain is moving.
• Never try cutting through two logs at same
time. Only cut one log at a time.
• Do not bury guide bar nose or try plunge
cut (boring into wood using guide bar
nose).
• Watch for shifting of wood or other forces
that may pinch chain.
• Use extreme caution when reentering a
previous cut.
• Use low-kickback chain and guide bar
supplied with this chain saw.
• Never use dull or loose chain. Keep chain
sharp with proper tension.
GENERAL BEHAVIOR
Use the chain saw only with secure footing.
Hold the chain saw at the right-hand side of
your body. (See Fig. I)
The chain must be running at full speed
before it makes contact with the wood. Use
the metal gripping teeth to secure the saw
onto the wood before starting to cut. Use the
gripping teeth as a leverage point “a” while
cutting. (See Fig. J)
Do not operate the chain saw with arms fully
extended or attempt to saw areas which are
difficult to reach, or on a ladder. Never use the
chain saw above shoulder height.
(See Fig. K)
CUTTING WOOD UNDER TENSION (See
Fig. L)
WARNING: When cutting limb that
is under tension, use extreme
caution. Be alert for wood springing
back. When wood tension is released,
