Operation
5. CUTTING
(1) Install the battery pack into the machine.
(2) Use both hands to grip saw. Always use left hand to grip front handle and right hand to
grip rear handle. Use a firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around saw handles.
(3) Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet shoulder-width apart. Distribute your weight
evenly on both feet (see Fig. I).
(4) When ready to make a cut, push the lock off button completely in with the right thumb
and squeeze the trigger. This will turn saw on. Releasing the trigger will turn the saw off.
Make sure the saw is running at full speed before starting a cut.
(5) Guide the saw using light pressure and do not put excessive force on the saw, letting
the saw do its work. Excessive force can cause the motor to overload and burn out. It
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.
(6) Remove the saw from a cut with the saw running at full speed. Stop the saw by releasing
the on/off switch. Make sure the chain has stopped before setting the saw down.
WARNING! Do not stand directly below a branch being cut. Keep
bystanders far away. Do not stand on a ladder or other type of
unstable support while using the tool. Do not use the tool near
cable, electrical power or telephone lines. Keep 10’’ (3 m) away
from all power lines (see Fig. J1-J4).
WARNING! Is the oil tank filled? Check the oil level prior to
starting and regularly during operation. Refill oil when oil level is
low. Check recent replaced chain tension about every 10 minutes
during operation.
WARNING! Make sure section of log to be cut is not lying on the
ground. This will keep the chain from touching the ground as
it cuts through the log. Touching the ground while the chain is
moving is dangerous and will dull the chain.
