Avoid jamming
Always cut into the compression wood first until the cut starts to close. Always make the
compression cut beneath if the log or limb is suspended from one end, and on top if it is
supported at both ends, cut from the other side towards the compression cut, make a
habit of using a wedge to prevent the compression cut jamming tight on the chainsaw
blade.
Extension cord support
During use of the chainsaw. The extension cord will continually be pulled as you move
from one area to another.
A cord retention hook has been provided on the housing of the chainsaw to assist in
preventing the electrical connection between the extension cord and chainsaw plug being
forced apart.
Note: the support is for the extension cord, and not the cable from the chainsaw.
1. to fit the extension cord to the support. Make a tight loop in the extension cord,
approximately 300mm from the socket on the extension cord.
2. fit the loop into the rectangle recess in the back portion of the chainsaw.
3. push the loop all the way through the housing by approximately 25 mm.
4. push each side of the loop downwards so each side of the loop fits over the cord
retention hook.
5. to seat the cable firmly. Gently pull one of the two lengths of extension cable on the
right hand side of the chainsaw.
6. after , and only after the cable is correctly seated, plug the chainsaw plug into the
socket of the extension cable.
Before start-up
1. check the tool and cable are in good working order before staring the chain saw.
2. make sure that the chain lubrication is working and check the oil level.
3. check the chain tension and the operation of the chain brake.
Caution
:
Pass the extension cable over your shoulder and pay attention that it always stays behind
you while you are working. Never pass the cable over the saw chain, it is likely to be
caught by the chain.
