Cordless Pruning Saw WG324E WG324E.X
(1) CHARGING YOUR BATTERY PACK (See Fig. H1,
H2)
The Li-ion battery is protected against deep
discharging. When the battery is empty, the machine
is switched off by means of a protective circuit.
In a warm environment or after heavy use, the battery
pack may become too hot to permit charging. Allow
time for the battery to cool down before recharging.
(2) TO REMOVE OR INSTALL BATTERY PACK (See
Fig. I)
Depress the Battery Pack Release Button to remove
the Battery Pack from your tool. After recharging,
insert the Battery Pack into the battery port. A simple
push and slight pressure will be sufficient until a click
is heard. Check to see if the battery is fully secured.
NOTE: When removing the battery pack, hold it
firmly to avoid dropping and injury.
(3) HOLDING AND CONTROLLING THE PRUNING
SAW (See Fig. J)
Hold and control the pruning saw with one hand on
the Grip Area – wrap your thumb around the Grip
Area.
Hold and control the pruning saw with your other
hand on the Secondary Grip Area.
2. SWITCHING ON AND OFF (See Fig. K)
ATTENTION: Check the battery pack before
using your cordless tool. Only use the battery
pack listed in the accessories section.
For switching on the tool, press the Lock-Out
Button, then fully press the On/Off Switch and hold
in this position. The Lock-Out Button can now be
released.
For switching off, release the On/Off Switch.
3. CUTTING
IMPORTANT: Check recent replaced chain
tension about every 10 minutes during
operation.
(1) Installing the battery pack into the machine.
(2) Make sure section of log to be cut is not laying on
the ground. This will keep the chain from touching
the ground as it cuts through the log.
Touching the ground while the Chain is moving is
dangerous and will dull the Chain.
(3) When ready to make a cut, push the Lock-Out
Button completely in with the right thumb
and squeeze the trigger. This will turn saw on.
Releasing the trigger will turn the saw off. Make
sure the saw is running at full speed before
starting a cut.
(4) When starting a cut, slowly place moving chain
against the wood. The wood should be as close to
the saw body as possible. Hold saw firmly in place
to avoid possible bouncing or skating (sideways
movement) of saw.
(5) Guide the saw using light pressure and do not put
excessive force on the saw, letting the saw do its
work. The motor will overload and can burn out.
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was intended.
(6) Remove the saw from a cut with the saw running
at full speed. Stop the saw by releasing the On/off
Switch. Make sure the chain has stopped before
setting the saw down.
(7) Keep practicing on scrap logs in a secure working
area until you are comfortable, using a fluid
motion and a steady cutting rate.
Kickback Safety Devices On This Saw
This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced
kickback Guide Bar. Both items reduce the chance
of kickback. However, kickback can still occur with
this saw.
The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.
• 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 the 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 the 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 only the low-kickback chain and Guide Bar
that were supplied with this pruning saw or
recommended.
• Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp
with proper tension.
How to use Saw Safely
1. Use the pruning saw only with secure footing.
2. Hold the pruning saw at the right-hand side of
your body (See Fig. L).
3. The Chain must be running at full speed before it
makes contact with the wood.
4. Use the Base Plate to secure the saw onto the
wood before starting to cut.
5. Use the Base Plate as a leverage point while
cutting. (See Fig. M)
6. Raise the Chain Guard when cutting from bottom
to top of material. (See Fig. N)
7. Do not operate the saw with arms fully extended,
attempt to saw areas which are difficult to reach,
or stand on a ladder while sawing. (See Fig. O)
Never use the pruning saw above shoulder
height.
