INTENDED USE
This Jawsaw
TM
has been designed for pruning
branches and cutting small logs up to 100mm
in diameter, not for cutting metals (See Fig. A).
ADJUSTMENT AND
ASSEMBLY
WARNING: Before touching
the chain or making any other
adjustments, make sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged.
All Saw Chains wear and become loose from
operation. Periodically check the Saw Chain
(11), if there is any visible gap between the
chain and the Guide Bar (10), it must be re-
tensioned.
WARNING:
• Unplug Jawsaw
TM
from power source
before adjusting saw chain tension.
• Cutting edges on chain are sharp.
Use protective gloves when handling
chain.
This product comes fully assembled. However,
we recommend that you check the chain
tension before use and readjust if necessary.
ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION
1. Push the Rear Handle (3) until the Guide
Bar (10) is in the middle of the jaw opening
as shown. Lock the Guide Bar in the middle
position by inserting the Lock Pin (17)
found on the power cord into the Lock
Pin Receptacle(18) located under the Rear
Handle (3) (See Fig. B1-B3).
2. Open the chain access cover (12) by using
the supplied wrench. To open turn the
Access Cover Nut no more than a 1/4 turn
in either direction. (See Fig. C)
3. Release tension on the Saw Chain (11) by
loosening the Chain Tensioning Bolt (15).
Turn the Chain Tensioning Bolt counter-
clockwise 2 or more times. (See Fig. D)
4. Add tension on the Saw Chain by turning
the Chain Tensioning Bolt clockwise. When
tightening the Chain Tensioning Bolt the
automatic chain tensioning system will set
the tension to the Saw Chain at the same
time.
NOTE: It is not possible to overtighten the
Saw Chain, so tighten the chain as much as
possible.
5. Check that the correct Saw Chain tension
has been set. It should be possible to pull
the Saw Chain away from the side of the
Guide Bar approximately 1.6mm and it
should snap back. (See Fig. E)
If tension is incorrect, repeat step 3,
ensuring the Guide Bar is free to move
when the tension is released.
CHANGING THE GUIDE BAR AND SAW
CHAIN

protective gloves when installing or

sharp and can cut you even when it is not
running.

chain may become hot during use. Allow to
cool before adjustment or removal.
