SHARPENING A NEW OR GLAZED CHAIN
If the chain is new, or if the chain’s diamond segments become glazed, sharpen by making a few cuts into an
appropriate alumina oxide or silicon carbide dressing stone. Simply make shallow plunge cuts into the stone
as many times as necessary to restore its cutting performance. If a dressing stone is not available, cutting into a
highly abrasive work material, such as cinder block will also work.
CHOOSING A DIAMOND CHAIN
This chain saw uses a 25 link diamond chain and a 13” guide bar. Chains with different types of diamond
segments are available for different applications.
•
Choose a chain with soft bond segments for hard materials, such as reinforced concrete. Trying to use a
chain with hard bond segments to cut hard materials will lead to unsatisfactorily slow cutting and the
chain will need to be resharpened many times.
•
Choose a chain with a hard bond segments for softer, more abrasive materials. Using a chain with soft
bond segments to cut soft materials will lead to unnecessarily shorter segment life. By choosing the
correct chain for the application, cutting will be more effective and economical.
STARTING AND STOPPING TOOL
To switch on:
This machine has a lock-off type switch. First press the trigger release, then squeeze the trigger switch to
switch on. For safety reasons, the switch is not possible to lock on.

Overload & Load Warning Indicator
When the tool is operating within its normal load range, the LED load indicator will glow green.
When full load is reached, the load indicator will flash red. If full load is exceeded and sustained for too long,
the motor will shut down and the load indicator will glow solid red. In this case, the motor must be first shut
off and then restarted.
