WARNING:
A springpole is any log, branch,
rooted stump, or sapling which is bent under
tension by other wood so that it springs back
if the wood holding it is cut or removed. On a
fallen tree, a rooted stump has a high potential
of springing back to the upright position during
the bucking cut to separate the log from the
stump. Watch out for springpoles—they are
dangerous. Do not attempt to cut bent branches
or stumps which are under tension unless you
are professionally trained and
competent to do so (Fig.42).
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any
other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear protective gloves when performing any maintenance
to the chainsaw.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, remove the battery pack from
the chainsaw before inspecting, cleaning, or performing maintenance. A battery
operated tool with the battery pack inserted is always on and can start accidently.
WARNING:
When cleaning the chainsaw, DO NOT immerse in water or other
liquids.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, petrol, petroleum-based
products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken, or destroy plastic, which may result in serious personal injury.
CLEANING
• After each use, clean debris from the chain and guide bar with a soft brush.
Wipe the chainsaw surface with a clean cloth moistened with a mild soap solution.
• Remove the side cover, and then use a soft brush to remove debris from the
guide bar, saw chain, sprocket and side cover.
• Always clean out wood chips, saw dust, and dirt from the guide bar groove
when replacing the saw chain.
REPLACING THE BAR AND CHAIN
WARNING:
Never touch or adjust the chain while the motor is running.
The saw chain is very sharp.
NOTE:
When replacing the guide bar and chain, always use the specified bar
and chain combination listed in the manual.
