OPERATING
Checking The Chain Brake
The chain brake ensures immediate blocking of the
saw chain in case of a rebound . Before beginning
work with the device, it must be checked to ensure
that it is functioning correctly.
● Set device on the ground.
● Start the device.
● Push the hand guard/chain brake (A) forwards.
The chain must stop immediately.
● If the chain brake is not working correctly, have
the device checked by an expert immediately.
To Turn The Tool On
Hold the chainsaw rmly with both hands. The hand
guard/chain brake must be folded towards the back.
Push the lock button in with your thumb and then
squeeze the trigger with your ngers. (Once the tool
is running. you can release the lock button).
To turn
the tool OFF,
release the trigger.
WARNING: To guard against injury, observe
the following:
- Read instruction manual before using save in-
struction manual.
- Keep hands away from chain.
- Keep hands on handles. Don’t overreach.
A good,rm grip on the saw with both hands will
help you maintain control. Don’t let go. Grip the rear
handle with your right hand whether you are right or
left handed. Wrap the ngers of your left hand over
and around the front handlebar, and your left thumb
under the front handlebar.
WARNING: Do not operate chain saw in a tree
on a ladder, or on a scaold: this is extremely
dangerous.
CAUTION: Chain coasts after turned o.
Do not use under wet conditions.
Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush,
saplings or limbs under tension, because slen-
der and tense material may catch the saw and be
whipped toward you, pull you o balance or spring
back.
Do not cut vines and/or small underbrush.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with this type
of tool to make you careless. Remember that a care-
less fraction of a second is sucient to inict serious
injury.
Before you start the unit,make sure the chain saw is
not contacting any object.
WARNING:
Do not cut trees near electrical wires
or buildings.
Make sure you follow the instructions in maintenance
for putting oil in the chain saw.
CAUTION:
Failure to lubricate the chain will
cause damage to the bar and chain. Use only a good
quality bar and chain oil or, if not available, unused
SAE 30 weight motor oil may be substituted. One
minute of use will consume approx. 0.2 . oz.(6ml)of
oil.
NOTE:
It is normal for oil to seep from the saw when
not in use. To prevent seepage, empty the oil tank
after each use.When storing the unit for a long peri-
od of time (3 months or longer) be sure the chain is
lightly lubricated; this will prevent rust on the chain
and bar sprocket.
WARNING:
Kickback may occur when the mov-
ing chain contacts an object at the upper portion of
the tip of the guide bar or when the wood closes in
and pinches the chain saw in the cut. Contact at the
upper portion of the tip of the guide bar can cause
the chain to dig into the object and stop the chain
for an instant. The result is a lightening fast, reverse
reaction which kicks the guide bar up and back to-
ward the operator. If the chain saw is pinched along
the top of the guide bar, the guide bar can be driven
rapidly back toward the operator. Either of these
reactions can cause loss of saw control which can
result in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively upon
the safety devices built into the saw. As a chain saw
user, you should take several steps to keep your
cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
