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.
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 must wrap around saw
handles.
•
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 Chainsaw or recommended.
•
Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp with
proper tension.
How to use Saw Safely
1. Use the Chainsaw only with secure footing.
2. Hold the Chainsaw at the right-hand side of your body
(See Fig. O).
3. The chain must be running at full speed before it makes
contact with the wood.
4. Use the bumper spikes to secure the saw onto the
wood before starting to cut.
5. Use the Bumper Spikes as a leverage point while
cutting. (See Fig. P)
6. Do not operate the Chainsaw with arms fully extended,
attempt to saw areas which are difficult to reach, or
stand on a ladder while sawing (See Fig. Q).
Never use the Chainsaw above shoulder height
Cordless Chainsaw
Cutting wood under tension (See Fig. R)
WARNING: When cutting a limb that is under
tension, use extreme caution. Be alert for wood
springing back. When wood tension is released, limb
could spring back and strike operator causing severe
injury or death.
When sawing logs supported on both ends, start the
cut from above(Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into the log
(overbuck) and then finish the cut (Z) from below, in order
to avoid contact of the Chainsaw with the ground. When
sawing logs supported on only one end, start the cut from
below (Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into the log (underbuck)
and finish the cut from above (Z) in order to avoid log
splitting or jamming of the Chainsaw.
