Flymo EasiSaw 350E, Operator'S Manual

• Will the chain brake always protect me from injury

during a kickback?
No. The chain brake must operate correctly to give

protection. The chain brake must also be engaged

during a kickback to stop the saw chain. If you are

near the guide bar, it is possible that the chain brake

does not have time to stop the saw chain before it

hits you.

WARNING: 

Only you and the correct

working technique can prevent kickbacks.

To start the product

1. Do a check of the power trigger and power trigger

lockout. Refer to 

To do a check of the power trigger

lockout on page 20

.

2. Engage the chain brake. (Fig. 49)
3. Connect the power plug to a power source.
4. Disengage the chain brake. (Fig. 43)
5. Hold the product in both handles. Push in the power

trigger lockout and the power trigger.

6. Push in the power trigger lockout (A) and the power

trigger (B), then immediately release the power

trigger lockout. (Fig. 36)

To stop the product

The product stops when you release the power trigger.

If the product does not stop when you release the power

trigger, speak to an approved service agent.
1. Release the power trigger.
2. Engage the chain brake.
3. Disconnect the power plug from the power source.

Pull stroke and push stroke

You can cut through wood with the product in 2 different

positions.
• To cut on the pull stroke is when you cut with the

bottom of the guide bar. The saw chain pulls through

the tree when you cut. In this position you have

better control of the product and the position of the

kickback zone.

(Fig. 50)
• To cut on the push stroke is when you cut with the

top of the guide bar. The saw chain pushes the

product in the direction of the operator.

(Fig. 51)

WARNING: 

If the saw chain is

caught in the trunk, the product can be

pushed at you. Hold the product tightly

and make sure that the kickback zone

of the guide bar does not touch the tree

and causes a kickback.

(Fig. 52)

To use the cutting technique

WARNING: 

Use full power when you

cut and decrease the speed to idle speed

after each cut.

CAUTION: 

Do not let the motor operate

for too long without load. This can cause

damage to the motor.

1. Put the trunk on a saw horse or runners. (Fig. 53)

WARNING: 

Do not cut trunks in a

pile. That increases the risk of kickback

and can cause serious injury or death.

2. Remove the cut pieces from the work area.

WARNING: 

Cut pieces in the work

area increase the risk of kickback and

that you cannot keep your balance.

To use the spiked bumper

1. Push the spiked bumper into the trunk of the tree.
2. Apply full power and rotate the product. Keep the

spiked bumper against the trunk. This procedure

makes it easier to apply the force necessary to cut

through the trunk. (Fig. 54)

To cut a trunk on the ground

1. Cut through the trunk on the pull stroke. Keep full

power but be prepared for sudden accidents. (Fig.

55)

WARNING: 

Make sure that the saw

chain does not touch the ground when

you complete the kerf.

2. Cut approximately ⅔ through the trunk and then

stop. Turn the trunk and cut from the opposite side.

(Fig. 56)

To cut a trunk that has support on one end

WARNING: 

Make sure that the trunk

does not break during cutting. Obey the

instructions below.

(Fig. 57)
1. Cut on the push stroke approximately ⅓ through the

trunk.

2. Cut through the trunk on the pull stroke until the two

kerfs touch. (Fig. 58)
