CHAIN SAW INFORMATION
4.
Do not over-tension chain. Over-ten-
sioning will cause excessive wear and
will reduce the life of the guide bar
and chain. Over-tensioning also re-
duces the amount of cuts per battery
charge.
5.
After chain tension is correct, tighten
guide bar nuts firmly (see Figure 11).

OILING CHAIN
IMPORTANT" Applying oil to the chain and
guide bar reduces
friction
and excessive
wear. Improper oiling will cause excessive
wear and reduce the life of the chain and
guide bar.
1.
Fill included squeeze bottle with
SAE #30 or #40 motor oil or bar
chain oil.
2.
Apply several drops of oil between
chain and guide bar (see Figure 12.
Note: Oil should
be applied
before each
use and every 5 minutes
during continu-
ous
use.

I.
Attach battery to saw.
2.
Make sure section of log to be cut is
not laying on ground. This will keep
chain from touching ground as it cuts
through
log. Touching
ground
with
moving chain will dull chain.
3.
Use both hands to grip saw. Always use
left hand to grip front handle and right
hand to grip rear handle. Use firm grip.
Thumbs and fingers must wrap around
saw handles (see Figure 13).
4.
Make sure your footing is firm. Keep
feet apart. Divide your weight evenly
on both feet.

When ready to make a cut, press in
trigger lockout with right thmnb and
squeeze trigger (see Figure
13). This
will turn saw on. Releasing
trigger
will turn saw off. Always turn saw on
before contacting
saw chain with log.
6.
When starting
a cut, place moving
chain against wood. Hold saw firmly
in place to avoid possible bouncing or
skating (sideways movement)
of saw.
7.
Guide saw using light pressure. Do not
force saw. 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 saw from a cut with saw run-
ning. Stop saw by releasing
trigger.
Make sure chain has stopped
before
setting saw down.
9.
Practice
until you can maintain
a
steady, even cutting rate.

This will help you
judge which way tree will fall.
2.
Clear work area around tree.
3.
Plan and clear a retreat
path before
