General Operating instructions
1. Before first use and before each use thereafter,
remove the Oil Tank Cap. Inspect the Cap Gasket
for damage. Fill the oil reservoir to just below fill
plug with Bar and Chain Oil (not included). Then
replace the Oil Tank Cap. Oil is automatically
applied to the Saw Chain during operation.
2. Make sure that the Trigger is in the off-position,
then connect the outdoor rated extension cord
(not included) to the Power Cord. Make sure the
electrical cord is away from the cutting area.
3. Grasp the Handles with both hands.
Always grip the handle with the thumb and
fingers encircling the handle as shown.

To prevent serious injury and death from
kickback: Do not touch the Guide Bar Nose to the wood.
6. When the Chain Saw reaches full speed, begin
cutting with a light, downward pressure against
the bottom mid-section of the Saw Chain.
Allow the Saw Chain to cut at its own rate.
Applying too much pressure can damage the tool.

When cutting loose, round wood stock,
place the wood stock on a sawhorse, in a cradle,
or use a timberjack (all sold separately)
to avoid grabbing and throw back.
7. To prevent accidents, turn off the
tool and unplug it after use.
8. When the Saw has cooled completely, clean
thoroughly and cover the Chain Guide Bar
with the Chain Guide Bar Sheath. Store
the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
