5. When ready to make a cut, press in

switch lockout with right thumb and

squeeze trigger (see Figure 9). This will

turn saw on. Releasing trigger will turn

saw off. Make sure saw is running at

full speed before starting a cut.

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.

8. Remove saw from a cut with saw run-

ning at full speed. Stop saw by releas-

ing trigger. Do not use the chain brake.

Make sure chain has stopped before

setting saw down.

9. Practice until you can maintain a steady,

even cutting rate.

OILING CHAIN

Always check oil level before using saw. To

oil chain, press squeeze bulb on oil cap. Do

not attempt to operate the oiler while cutting

with the saw. Oil will feed onto guide bar

and chain. Press squeeze bulb on oil cap at

least once before each cut. Check oil level

often by looking at oil sight level hole. Oil

sight level hole is on left side of saw, be-

tween front handle and front hand guard.

CUTTING WITH THE CHAIN

SAW

1. Connect saw to extension cord. Con-

nect extension cord to power supply.

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 9).

4. Make sure your footing is ﬁrm. Keep

feet apart. Divide your weight evenly

on both feet. Stand slightly to left side

of saw. This keeps your body from be-

ing in direct line with chain.

CHAIN BRAKE

The chain brake quickly stops the saw chain.

Kickback causes the back of operator’s left

hand to contact front hand guard (see Figure

10). When front hand guard moves forward,

the saw chain stops. This reduces the chance

of serious injury during kickback. When the

chain brake activates, release trigger at once.

To reset chain brake, release trigger and

move front hand guard back into position.

You must release trigger first. If not, the saw

will start when you reset the front hand

guard.

Note:

Test chain brake before each use.

Firmly grip saw with both hands. With saw

running, move front hand guard forward

the handles. Saw chain should stop. If chain

brake does not work, have saw repaired by

authorized service person.

CAUTION: Do not use the chain

brake to stop and start your saw.

Quick repeated stops may cause

overheating of the chain brake.

Damage to the chain brake will

occur.
