OILING CHAIN

Always check oil level before using saw. To

oil chain, press squeeze bulb on oil cap. 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, between 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.

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. Make sure chain has

stopped before setting saw down.

9. Practice until you can maintain a steady,

even cutting rate.

Trimming a tree is the process of cutting

limbs from a living tree. Make sure your

footing is ﬁrm. Keep feet apart. Divide your

weight evenly on both feet. Follow direc-

tions below to trim a tree.

1. Make ﬁrst cut 15 centimeters (six

inches) from tree trunk on underside of

limb. Use top of guide bar to make this

cut. Cut 1/3 through diameter of limb

(see Figure 10).

2. Move five to ten centimeters (two to

four inches) farther out on limb. Make

second cut from above limb. Continue

cut until you cut limb off.

3. Make third cut as close to tree trunk as

possible on underside of limb stub. Use

top of guide bar to make this cut. Cut

1/3 through diameter of stub.

4. Make fourth cut directly above third
