IMPORTANT
POINTS
• Check chain tension
before first use and
after 1 minute of operation.
See CHAIN
TENSION
in the ASSEMBLY
section.
• Out wood only. Do not cut metal, plastics,
masonry, non-wood building materials, etc.
• Stop the saw if the chain strikes a foreign
object. Inspect the saw and repair parts as
necessary.
• Keep the chain out of dirt and sand. Even a
small amount of dirt will quickly dull a chain
and increase the possibility of kickback.
• Practice
cutting a few small logs using the
following techniques
to get the "feel" of us-
ing your saw
before
you begin
a major
sawing
operation.
•
Squeeze
the throttle trigger and allow
the engine to reach full speed before
cutting.
•
Begin
cutting
with
the
saw
frame
against the log,
•
Keep the engine at full speed the entire
time you are cutting.
•
Allow the chain to cut for you, Exert only
light downward
pressure.
