■
When pruning trees it is important not to make the
flush cut next to the main limb or trunk until you have
cut off the limb further out to reduce the weight. This
prevents stripping the bark from the main member.
■
Under buck the branch 1/3 through for your first cut.
■
Over buck the branch to drop it.
■
Finish by cutting smoothly and neatly against the
main member so the bark will grow back to seal the
wound.
WARNINg:
If the limbs to be pruned are above chest height,
hire a professional to perform the pruning.
CUTTINg SPRINgPOLES
See Figure 35.
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.
WARNINg:
Springpoles are dangerous and could strike the
operator, causing the operator to lose control of
the chainsaw. This could result in severe or fatal
injury to the operator.
MAINTENANcE
WARNINg:
When servicing, use only identical Homelite
replacement parts. Use of any other parts may
create a hazard or cause product damage.
WARNINg:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses
with side shields during power tool operation or
when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also
wear a dust mask.
gENERAL MAINTENANcE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, lubricant, grease,
etc.
WARNINg:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, petrol,
petroleum-based products, penetrating
lubricants, etc., come in contact with plastic
parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious
personal injury.
LUBRIcATION
All of the bearings in this product are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of
the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no
further lubrication is required.
REPLACINg THE gUIDE bAR AND CHAIN
See Figures 36 - 45.
DANgER:
Never start the engine before installing the
guide bar, chain, clutch cover, and clutch drum.
Without all these parts in place, the clutch can
fly off or explode, exposing the user to possible
serious injury.
WARNINg:
To avoid serious personal injury, read and
understand all the safety instructions in this
section.
■
Always place the switch in the
stop
“0” position
before you work on the saw.
■
Make sure the chain brake is not set by pulling the
chain brake lever/hand guard towards the front
handle to the run position.
NOTE:
When replacing the guide bar and chain,
always use the specified bar and chain listed in the
Bar and chain
Combinations
section later in this
manual.
■
Wear gloves when handling the chain and bar. These
components are sharp and may contain burrs.
■
Press in on the clutch cover lock knob and rotate
counter clockwise until the clutch cover can be
removed.
Slacken of the clutch cover nut until the clutch cover
can be removed. (For HCS3335B only)
■
Remove the bar and chain from the mounting
surface.
■
Remove the old chain from the bar.
■
Lay out the new saw chain in a loop and straighten
any kinks. The cutters should face in the direction of
chain rotation. If they face backwards, turn the loop
over.
■
Place the chain drive links into the bar groove as
shown.
■
Position the chain so there is a loop at the back of the
bar.
■
Hold the chain in position on the bar and place the
loop around the sprocket.
■
Fit the bar flush against the mounting surface so that
the bar studs are in the long slot of the bar.
■
Replace the clutch cover ensuring that the adjusting
pin in the clutch cover is in the bar chain tensioning
pin hole.
