Operation
(cont’d)
Wear eye protection when operating
or servicing this tool.
Failure to wear eye protection could
result in serious eye injury from flying
debris or hydraulic oil.
Wear hearing protection when using
this tool.
Long-term exposure to high noise
levels could result in hearing loss.
Wear foot protection when using this
tool.
Failure to observe this warning could
result in serious injury.
Do not disconnect tool, hoses or fittings while the
power source is running or if the hydraulic fluid is
hot. Hot hydraulic fluid could cause serious burns.
Vibration hazard:
Apply just enough pressure to do the work. Applying
excess pressure to the tool can cause operator
discomfort or temporary numbness.
Failure to observe this precaution can result in injury.
Check the operation of the automatic oiler fre-
quently. See Checking and Setting the Automatic
Chain Oiler in this manual.
Check the chain frequently for proper tension and
sharpness. Tension and sharpen as necessary.
See the instructions under Saw Chain and Bar
Maintenance.
Check the fluid level of the power source reservoir
frequently. The automatic oiler uses hydraulic fluid
to lubricate the bar and chain, and will cause the
fluid level to drop.
