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 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.
5. When ready to make a cut, push the lockout
button completely forward with the right thumb
and squeeze the 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 running at full
speed. Stop saw by releasing trigger. Make sure
chain has stopped before setting saw down.
9. Practice until you can maintain a steady, even
cutting rate.

Keep cord away from cutting area. Make sure cord
does not catch on branches or logs during cutting.
Inspect cords often. Replace damaged cords.
This chain saw is designed with an extension cord hitch
that prevents the extension cord from being pulled loose
during use. To use, form a loop with the end of the
extension cord, insert loop into slot in rear of handle,
and place loop over cord hitch (see Figure 9). Gently
pull loop against cord hitch until slack is removed.
Plug extension cord into chain saw cord.
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 over-
heat. Follow cord size requirements listed below.
