OPERATION
WARNING — It is recommendation that first-time users
should, at minimum, practice cutting
logs on a saw-horse or cradle.
ATTACH /REMOVE THE BATTERY
CAUTION: Only use a Senix-approved battery
and charger.
Note:
The battery is not fully charged at the time of
purchase. Charge it fully before using it for the
first time.
To insert the battery, slide it into the back of the unit until a
“click” is heard. Make sure the battery is fully inserted and
latched into position.
To remove the battery, press the release button and slide
the battery out.
WARNING — Do not insert or remove the battery
while the trigger is pressed or while the
trimmer is in motion.
PREPARATION
Before each use, check the following items to ensure safe
working conditions.
CHAINSAW:
Inspect the chainsaw housing, saw chain,
and guide bar for damage. Do not use the chainsaw if
damage has occured.
CHAIN OIL:
Check the fill level of the oil tank.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the chainsaw, never
operate the saw if there is no oil or the oil
level has dropped below the minimum oil
level mark.
SAW CHAIN:
Check the chain tension and the condition of
the blades.
TIP:
The sharper the saw chain, the easier and more
manageable operations will be.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING:
Wear appropriate close-fitting
protective clothing such as protective pants, gloves and
safety shoes. Wear a safety helmet with integrated hearing
protection and a face guard to provide protection against
falling and recoiling branches.
DURING OPERATION
CHAIN OIL:
Check the oil level while working. On average,
an oil filling is sufficient for approximately 10 minutes of
cutting operation (depending the duration of pauses and
the density of the workpiece).
WARNING — Remove the battery before adjusting the
chain tension.
CHAIN TENSION:
Check the saw chain tension every 10
minutes of operation to maximize safety. New saw chains
in particular are subject to changes due to the heat created
by operation. Adjust as necessary to maintain the correct
chain tension.
SAFETY WARNINGS
• In order to ensure safe work, do not operate the saw
above shoulder height.
• Never stand below a branch that is being sawed.
• Exercise caution when sawing both branches under
tension or branches that are splintering.
• Make sure to safe guard against the risk of injury from
falling branches and flying wood projectiles.
• If the machine is in operation, keep persons and animals
away from the danger area.
• The machine is not protected against electric shock
when coming into contact with high-voltage lines.
Maintain a minimum clearance of 30 feet from
current-carrying power lines to avoid life-threatening
electric shock.
• Do not expose the unit to rain.
• When working on an incline, always stand above or to
the side of the branch being sawed.
• Allow the chain to cut for you. Keep the saw running at
full speed for the entire duration of the cut.
