IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not disconnect tool, hoses or fittings while the
power source is running or if the hydraulic fluid is
hot. Hot hydraulic fluid could cause serious burns.
Do not reverse hydraulic flow. Operation with
hydraulic flow reversed could cause tool malfunc-
tion. Connect the pressure hose and tank hose to the
proper ports.
• Use this tool for cutting wood only. Any other use
can result in injury or property damage.
• Inspect tool before use. Replace any worn,
damaged or missing parts. A damaged or improp-
erly assembled tool can malfunction, injuring
nearby personnel.
• Inspect hydraulic hoses and couplings every
operating day. Repair or replace if leakage, crack-
ing, wear or damage is evident. Damaged hoses
or couplings can fail resulting in injury or property
damage.
• Excuse all bystanders and unnecessary person-
nel from the work area when operating the tool.
Nearby personnel can by injured by falling debris.
Failure to observe these precautions c result in injury.
Hydraulic oil can cause skin irritation.
• Handle the tool and hoses with care to prevent
skin contact with hydraulic oil.
• In case of accidental skin contact with hydraulic
oil, wash the affected area immediately to remove
the oil.
Failure to observe these precautions can result in
injury.
Vibration hazard:
Apply just enough pressure to do the work. Applying
excess pressure to the tool can cause operator
discomfort or temporary numbness.
Failure to observe this precaution can result in injury.
• Check the operation of the automatic oiler fre-
quently. Refer to “Checking and Setting the
Automatic Chain Oiler” in this manual.
• Check the chain frequently for proper tension and
sharpness. Tension and sharpen as necessary.
Refer to the instructions under “Saw Chain and
Bar Maintenance.”
• Check the fluid level of the power source reservoir
frequently. The automatic oiler uses hydraulic fluid
to lubricate the bar and chain, and will cause the
fluid level to drop.
Procedure for disconnecting hydraulic hoses, fittings
or components:
1. Move the flow lever on the hydraulic power
source to the OFF position.
2. Stop the power source.
3. Follow the sequence under Disconnecting Hoses
to prevent pressure buildup. In case some
pressure has built up, loosen hoses, fittings or
components slowly.
Emergency stop procedure:
1. Release the trigger.
2. Shut off the hydraulic power source.
Note: Keep decals clean and legible. Replace decals
when necessary.
