OPERATION
CAUTION:
CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE CHAIN
BRAKE ON A REGULAR BASIS. NEVER USE THE SAW
IF THE CHAIN BRAKE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY.
The cord retainer is used to “anchor” an extension cord when it is
connected to the power lead of the tool. It prevents the extension cord
from being accidentally disconnected from the chainsaw’s power cord
or shaken loose during use.
1. Make a loop in the end of the
extension lead and pass the
loop though the hole in the
handle.
2. Hook the loop over the cord
retainer. Pull the extension
cord to secure it in position
over the cord retainer.
3. Connect the extension lead
to the power cord.
Route the power and
extension cord away from the
work area to prevent contact
with the chainsaw.
NOTE:
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power
input of this tool.
Chain brake
The chain brake operates
automatically in the event
of kick back.
The chainsaw is fitted with
a hand guard/chain brake
which, when operated brings
the chain to a stop within a
tenth of a second.
The chain brake can be
operated manually by pushing
it forward or automatically as
a result of kickback.
Kick back occurs if the chain
catches on the wood being
cut and the chainsaw pushes back suddenly.
In the event of kick back, your hand (which is on the front handle during
operation) jerks forward causing the back on your hand to push the
guard forward, engaging the chain brake and quickly stopping the chain.
