OPERATION/MAINTENANCE
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: make sure to
wear the appropriate close-fitting protective
clothing such as chainsaw-protective pants,
gloves and safety shoes. Wear a safety
helmet with integrated hearing protection and
a face guard to provide protection against
falling and recoiling branches.
HEAD ADJUSTMENT: The angle of the
saw's head can be adjusted anywhere from
0 to 30 degrees by pushing down on the
Angle Adjustment Button. If you would like
to change the angle of the saw's head, first
remove the battery and then adjust to the
desired angle.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
Remove the battery before inspecting,
adjusting, performing maintenance, or
cleaning the unit.
CLEANING
• Brush or blow dust and debris out of the air
vents using compressed air or a vacuum.
Keep the air vents free of obstructions,
sawdust, and wood chips. Do not spray,
wash, or immerse the air vents in water.
• Wipe off the housing and the plastic
components using a moist, soft cloth. Do
not use strong solvents or detergents on
the plastic housing or plastic components.
Certain household cleaners may cause
damage or cause a shock hazard.
• Routinely clean out the dust and debris
that gathers under the tension housing,
the oil outlet, and around the bar and the
chain sprocket. Otherwise it can jam up
the sprocket, the chain, and the lubrication
system.
