9. OPERATION AND USE
WARNING:
DO NOT START THE CHAINSAW UNTIL IT IS FULLY
ASSEMBLED, CORRECTLY ADJUSTED AND ALL
FUNCTIONS AND CONTROLS ARE FAMILIAR.
9.4 CONNECTING THE CHAINSAW (FIG.8):
We recommend to operate the chainsaw in
connection with a residual current operated device
with a maximum breaking current of 30mA.
To protect the connection cable from strains this
chainsaw is equipped with a strain relief. Form a tight
loop through the opening on the rear side of the
handle. Put the loop over the strain relief hook
.
9.5 SWITCHING ON (FIG.9):
Use your thumb to push the locking button
located on the upper side of the rear handle, then
squeeze the operating switch
.
The locking button is a safety mechanism and does
not need to be pressed again after the device is
running.
To switch off the device, release switch
.
ATTENTION:
THE SAWING CHAIN WILL START RUNNING AT HIGH SPEED IMMEDIATELY. WHEN PUTTING
THE SAW DOWN, MAKE SURE THAT THE CHAIN NEVER GETS IN TOUCH WITH STONES OR
METAL OBJECTS.
Note:
The motor will not run with the chain brake engaged. To stop the chainsaw release the
trigger or activate the chain brake.
If pausing for more than a few seconds, engage chain brake. Do not move more than three
paces without engaging the chain brake. Transport the chainsaw with the guide bar sheath
in place.
With the chainsaw disconnected from the power supply occasionally check the tension to
avoid using the chainsaw with a loose chain. During use always positively engage the
bumper spikes into the bark to safely perform the cut.
At regular intervals, and more regularly if cutting along the grain, (with the machine
unplugged and switched off) check and clear the area behind the blade cover.
Saw dust and oil residue will cause a build up which will reduce the machines efficiency.
Note:
Check before cutting that nothing will impede the cut, for example wire fence.
