•
Do not force the Chain Saw - it will do the job better and with less likelihood of a risk of injury when cutting at its own rate.
•
Never over reach the work when using the Saw. Always keep proper footing and balance at all times.
•
Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush, saplings or limbs under tension, because slender and tense material may catch the
Saw and be whipped toward you, or spring back, pulling you off balance. Do not cut small vines and/or small underbrush.
•
If the Saw vibrates abnormally, stop the motor, remove the power cord, and inspect the tool for any damage. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other condition that may affect its operation.
Repair the
damage before restarting and operating the Saw.
NOTE:
Excessive vibration is generally a sign of trouble.
•
Never use the Saw with a damaged or missing Guard.
•
Do not operate the Saw if it does not start normally or stop normally with the ON/OFF Trigger Switch.
•
Stay alert and watch what you are doing. Do not operate the Saw when you are tired or under the influence of medication, drugs, or alcohol.
•
Never operate the Saw in the rain.
•
Operate only in daylight or in an area well lit by artificial light.

Chapter 3: Operating Your NEUTON Corded 16” Chain Saw
Starting and Stopping the Saw
•
Before starting the Saw, remove the Oil Tank Cap and add #32 Bar & Chain Oil to the top of the Oil Level Window (
Figure 1
). One (1)
minute of use will consume approximately 0.15 fl. oz. (5ml) of oil. Refill when the oil level drops to 1/4 of a tank.
NOTE:
Your NEUTON Corded 16” Chain Saw is equipped with an Automatic Oil Pump for Bar and Chain oiling.
•
Starting, stopping, and restarting an electric Motor repeatedly within a few seconds can generate a great deal of heat and damage the
Motor. To protect the life of your Chain Saw, always wait at least five (5) seconds after stopping before restarting the Saw.
Be certain that the Chain is not in contact with any object when you start the Motor.
1. Perform the Daily Checks listed on the back cover of this manual.
2. Connect the Chain Saw to a working 120V outlet using a
heavy-duty outdoor extension power cord. Make a loop in
the power cord and push it up through the hole in the
Handle and around the Cord Relief Hook (
Figure 1
) then plug
it into the Power Receptacle.
3. Firmly grip the Rear Handle with your right hand and the
Front Handle with your left hand (whether or not you are
right handed or left handed).
4. Push the Lock-Off Button IN (
Figure1
) with your right thumb
and squeeze the Trigger ON/OFF Switch with your fingers.
Once the Motor starts you can remove your thumb from the
Lock-Off Button. If the Saw does not start, make sure you
plugged the power cord into a live 120V outlet (simply use a
lamp to check the power outlet) and firmly plugged the
power cord into the Saw power receptacle.
5. To stop the Saw, simply release the Trigger ON/OFF Switch.
