ELECTRIC CHAIN SAW

®

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 10).

4. Make sure your footing is ﬁrm. Keep

feet apart. Divide your weight evenly

on both feet.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use proper extension cords with this saw.

Use only extension cords marked for out-

door use. The cord must be marked with

sufﬁx W or W-A following the cord type

designation.

Example:

SJTW-A or SJTW.

Use proper sized cord with this saw. Cord

must be heavy enough to carry current

needed. An undersized cord will cause volt-

age drop at saw. Saw will lose power and

overheat. Follow cord size requirements

listed below.

Keep cord away from cutting area. Make

sure cord does not catch on branches or logs

during cutting. Inspect cords often. Replace

damaged cords.

The extension cord may come undone from

the power cord during use. To avoid this,

make a knot with the two cords as shown in

Figure 8 below.

oil chain, press oil cap. Do not attempt to

operate the oiler while cutting with the saw.

Oil will feed onto guide bar and chain. Press

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,

between front handle and front hand guard.

5. When ready to make a cut, press in

switch lockout with right thumb and

squeeze trigger (see Figure 10). 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. 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 at full speed. Stop saw by releas-

ing trigger. Make sure chain has

stopped before setting saw down.

9. Practice until you can maintain a steady,

even cutting rate.
