when installing or removing the chain,
the Saw Chain (11) is sharp and can cut
you when it is not running.
ATTACHINg ExTENSION COrD
1. To prevent disconnection of appliance
cord, secure extension cord to extension
cord retainer.
2. An extension cord retainer is supplied to
reduce strain on the power cord. To use
this feature, form a loop at the end of the
extension cable and bring this through the
opening at the bottom of the Extension
Cord Retainer, then wrap the end of the
loop around the hook and pull to tighten
(See Fig. N).
3. Keep extension cord clear of the saw and
any obstacles at all times. Do not expose
the cord to heat, oil, water, or sharp edges.
wArNINg:
•
Never operate a Jawsaw that is damaged
or improperly adjusted or that is not
completely and securely assembled.
•
Be sure that the saw chain stops moving
when the power control system triggers
are released.
•
Never adjust the guide bar or saw when
power cord is connected.
SwITCHINg ON AND OFF
The Trigger Switch (4) is locked to prevent
accidental starting.
There are two Lock Out Buttons (2), to
allow upright (cutting down from the top)
or inverted (cutting up from the bottom)
operation.
To switch on, press either Lock Out Button
with your thumb and squeeze the Trigger

To switch off, just release the Trigger Switch.
CuTTINg
Check oil level window (5) prior to starting
and regularly during operation. Refill oil
when oil level is low.
If operating with a newly replaced Saw Chain
(11), check the chain tension around every 10
minutes during operation.
Always hold the Front Handle (7) firmly
when cutting (See Fig. P1, P2).
1. Connect the JawSaw and extension cord
Limbing and Trimming Electric Chain Saw En
to a power outlet.
2. Use both hands to grip saw firmly. Always
use your left hand (I) to grip the front
handle and your right hand (II) to grip the
Rear Handle(3). Thumbs and fingers must
wrap around saw handles (See Fig. P1,
P2).
IMPOrTANT: Make sure your
3.
footing is firm and stable. Do not
use the JawSaw while standing on piles of
branches or while standing on a ladder.
HINT: When cutting branches which are
lying on the ground, place one foot on the
branch to prevent limb from moving (See
Fig. Q).
wArNINg! Do not put your foot in
the Jaw teeth, keep your foot a safe
distance from the tool (See Fig. Q)
4. Position the tool with the Jaw placed over
the desired branch to be cut.
wArNINg:
•
DO NOT force the cut. Let the Saw Chain
pull through the wood.
•
When starting the saw make sure the
chain is not in contact with the limb or
branch to be cut.
5. Switch on the tool.
6. Push the Rear Handle towards the Front
Handle to complete the cut.
7. Switch off the tool after the Guide Bar and
Saw Chain have returned to their starting
position.
wArNINg:
•
When completing the cut (step 6 above)
do not push the handle forcefully, let the
spinning chain pull itself through the
wood.
•
Using too much force on the rear handle
when cutting can overload the tools
motor.
CAuTION: At the end of each cut be
prepared to support the tools weight.
TrIMMINg BrANCHES:
Before cutting any branch, you must consider
the following:
1. Is the branch heavy, will it damage
anything when it falls?
