CHAIN SAW iNFORMATiON

EXTENSION CORDS

Use proper extension cords with this saw. Use

only extension cords marked for outdoor 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 voltage drop at saw.

Saw will lose power and overheat. Follow cord

size requirements listed below.

3. Replace oil cap at once. Tighten oil cap firmly

for good seal. This will minimize oil seepage

fi'om tank.

4. Wipe off excess oil.

Note: it is normal for oil to seep when saw

is not in use. Empty oil tank after each

use to prevent seepage.

OiLiNG CHAIN

Always check oil level before using saw. Do not

attempt to operate the oil system while saw is

in operation. To oil chain, press squeeze bulb.

Oil will feed onto the guide bar and chain. Press

squeeze bulb at least once before each cut (see

Figure 9). 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,

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 fi'om the

power cord during use. To avoid this, make a knot

with the two cords as shown in Figure 8.

CUTTING WiTH THE CHAIN SAW

1. Connect saw to extension cord. Connect exten-

sion cord to power supply.

2. Make sure section of log to be cut is not laying

on ground. This will keep chain fi'om 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,

page 13).

4. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet

apart. Divide your weight evenly on both

feet.

5. When ready to make a cut, press in trigger

lockout with right thumb and squeeze trigger

(see Figure 10, page 13). This will turn saw

on. Releasing trigger will turn saw off. Make

sure saw is running at full speed befbre 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.
