2. Inspect the saw before and after each use
for:
• Any signs of damage, especially the
Power Cord (1).
• Smooth action of push handle and
movement of bar.
• Adequate Chain Tension; you should be
able to lift the Saw Chain from the Guide
Bar no more than 1.6mm.
• Adequate chain lubrication.
3. Do not use the Jawsaw
TM
, if:
• The Trigger Switch (4) or Lock Out Button
(2) is malfunctioning.
• The Rear (Push) Handle (3) does not
smoothly return under spring force.
• Any other damage which affects the
safety or operation is evident.
4. Maintain the Jawsaw
TM
with care and have
any damage or malfunction repaired by an
authorized service center:
• Never expose the Jawsaw
TM
to rain.
• Keep Saw Chain sharp, clean, and
lubricated for better and safer
performance.
• Follow steps outlined in this manual to
sharpen Saw Chain.
• Keep handles clean and free from oil.
• Keep all screws and nuts tight.
• Never carry the Jawsaw
TM
by the Power
Cord.
• Never yank the power cord to unplug it.
• Keep power cord away from heat, oil
and sharp edges.
• Inspect extension cords and do not use
if damaged.
5. When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts.
6. When not in use, always store Jawsaw
TM
• In a high or locked place, out of
children’s reach.
• In a dry place.
REPLACING SAW CHAIN/CHAIN BAR
Replace the Saw Chain when cutters are too
worn to sharpen or when chain breaks. Only
use replacement chain noted in this manual.
Always include new drive Sprocket (16) when
replacing the Saw Chain. This will maintain
proper driving of chain. Inspect Guide Bar (10)
before sharpening chain. A worn or damaged
guide bar is unsafe. A worn or damaged
Guide Bar is unsafe, will damage the Saw
Chain, and will make cutting harder.
For Replacing the Guide Bar please refer to
CHANGING THE GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN
section in the Adjustment and Assembly
Instructions.
SHARPENING SAW CHAIN
WARNING:
• Unplug Jawsaw
TM
from power source
before servicing. Severe injury or
death could occur from electrical
shock or body contact with moving
chain.
• Cutting edges on chain are sharp.
Use protective gloves when handling
chain.
Keep Saw Chain sharp. Your saw will cut
faster and more safely. A dull Saw Chain will
cause undue Sprocket (16), Guide Bar (10),
Saw Chain, and motor wear. If you must force
the Saw Chain into wood and cutting creates
only sawdust with few large chips, then the
Saw Chain is dull.
LUBRICATING THE CHAINWHEEL
NOTE:
It is not necessary to remove the chain or bar
when lubricating the chainwheel.
1. Clean the Guide Bar and chainwheel.
2. Using a grease gun, insert the tip of the
gun into the lubrication hole (h) and inject
grease until it appears at the outside edge
of the chainwheel tip (See Fig. Y).
3. You may need to rotate the chainwheel (i)
in order to grease all areas of the wheel.
To do this, pull the Saw Chain by hand to
rotate the chainwheel and align the parts
of the wheel that needs to be greased with
the lubrication hole. (See Fig. Y)
CLEANING
Regularly open the Chain Access Cover (12)
and remove any debris that has become
trapped.
Regularly clean the ventilation slots with a
clean, dry paint brush.
To clean the tool, use only mild soap and a
damp cloth. Never let any liquid get inside the
tool and never immerse any part of the tool
into liquid.
TRANSPORTING
Always transport the tool with the Guide Bar
(10) and Saw Chain (11) inside the protection
guard.
