OPERATION
Hold the chainsaw control handle in one hand and the forward handle in the other hand.
After positioning the saw in the cutting area, engage the trigger actuator, allowing the
trigger to be depressed. Depress the trigger slowly and allow the chain to start rotating.
When at full speed, feed the saw into the material. Twisting or jamming the saw while
cutting can cause problems such as kickback, jamming, pulling, or stalling within the
cut. This can cause failure and damage to the saw. This can also seriously injure the
operator. (See Safety Instructions) Allow the chain blade to do the work while applying
a pressure against the cut. When the cut is completed, release the trigger and the saw
will stop rotating.
There are a number of safety items that need to be addressed when using the tool. Seek out
the supervisor for basic instruction in handling the tool. Some basic problems are easily
overcome by knowing the rules of operation.
Kickback was described earlier in this manual (see page 4). Read again.
Kickback occurs when the tip of the blade touches the wood. Faithfully avoid touching the
wood at either the tip or the top side of the blade. Touching the tip will kick the saw up
and back toward the operator at lightning speed.
Touching the wood with the top side will pull the saw out of the operator’s hands. Both
situations can cause serious injury and/or damage to the operator, nearby persons, and
surrounding equipment.
Always be aware of the material being cut. Such things as nails and other hard objects
can cause kickback and damage to the chain blade. This will cause a serious
malfunction.
Always run the chain at full speed when cutting.
Always stand to the side of the cutting path of the chain.
Never be off balance or overreach while cutting.
Always wear and use proper safety equipment. (i.e. hand and eye protection)
Always be alert to shifting or falling tree limbs. Binding and pinching of the chainblade
will occur and cause difficulty in handling.
To store the chainsaw between operations, find a clear, flat space and lay the saw on
the space. Another option is to hang the chainsaw in an out of the way space.
If the chainsaw is out of use for a period of time, shut off the hydraulic power source
