6. CUTTING
IMPORTANT: Is the oil tank filled?
Check the oil level window (14)
prior to starting and regularly during
operation (See Fig. J1). Refill oil when
oil level is low. A full oil tank will last
approx. 12 minutes of cutting depending
on sawing intensity and stops.
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 (7) 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) Use both hands to grip saw. Always use left
hand to grip front handle (4) and right hand
to grip rear handle (1). Use a firm grip.
Thumbs and fingers must wrap around
saw handles. (See Fig. J2 )
4) Make sure your footing is firm. Keep
feet-shoulder width apart. Distribute your
weight evenly on both feet.
5) When ready to make a cut, push the lock-
out button (15) 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.
6) 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.
7) 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.
8) Remove the saw from a cut with the saw
running at full speed. Stop the saw by
releasing the on/off switch (2). Make sure
the chain has stopped before setting the
saw down.
9) 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.
• Use both hands to grip saw while saw
is running. Use firm grip. Thumbs and
fingers of both hands must wrap around
saw handles at all the times during the
operation.
• 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.
