6. CHAIN BRAKE LEVER (See Fig. K)
The chain brake lever is a safety mechanism activated
through the front hand guard, when kickback occurs. Chain
stops immediately.
The following function check should be carried out at
regular intervals. Pull the front hand guard towards the
operator (position
the chain brake, push front hand guard forwards (position
).
NOTE: If the saw is unable to start, even though it is
assembled properly and working with fully charged battery
packs, then you should check if the chain brake lever is in
the correct position (position
7. CUTTING
IMPORTANT: Is the oil tank filled? Check the Oil
Level Window prior to starting and regularly
during operation (See Fig. L). Refill oil when oil level
is low. A full oil tank will last approx. 12 minutes of
cutting depending on sawing intensity and stops.
Check recent replaced chain tension about every 10
minutes during operation.
(1) Installing the battery pack into the machine.
(2) Make sure section of log to be cut is not laying on the
ground. This will keep the chain from touching the
ground as it cuts through the log.
Touching the ground while the chain is moving is
dangerous and will dull the chain.
(3) Use both hands to grip saw. Always use left hand to grip
front handle and right hand to grip rear handle. Use a
16
firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around saw
handles. (See Fig. M)
(4) Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet-shoulder
width apart. Distribute your weight evenly on both feet.
(5) When ready to make a cut, push the lock-out button
completely in with the right thumb and squeeze the
trigger. This will turn saw on. Releasing the trigger will
turn the saw off. Make sure the saw is running at full
speed before starting a cut.
(6) When starting a cut, slowly place moving chain against
the wood. The wood should be as close to the saw body
as possible. Hold saw firmly in place to avoid possible
bouncing or skating (sideways movement) of saw.
(7) Guide the saw using light pressure and do not put
excessive force on the saw, letting the saw do its work.
The motor will overload and can burn out. It will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
intended.
(8) Remove the saw from a cut with the saw running at
full speed. Stop the saw by releasing the on/off switch.
Make sure the chain has stopped before setting the saw
down.
(9) Keep practicing on scrap logs in a secure working area
until you are comfortable, using a fluid motion and a
steady cutting rate.
Kickback Safety Devices On This Saw
This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced kickback
Guide Bar. Both items reduce the chance of kickback.
However, kickback can still occur with this saw.
The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.
Cordless Chainsaw
) to deactivate chain brake. To activate
).
•
Use both hands to grip saw while saw is running. Use
firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around saw
handles.
•
Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make sure they
work properly.
•
Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
•
Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
•
Stand slightly to the left side of saw. This keeps your
body from being in direct line with chain.
•
Do not let Guide Bar nose touch anything when chain is
moving.
•
Never try cutting through two logs at same time. Only
cut one log at a time.
•
Do not bury the Guide Bar nose or try plunge cut (boring
into wood using guide bar nose).
•
Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that may
pinch chain.
•
Use extreme caution when reentering a previous cut.
•
Use only the low-kickback chain and guide bar that
were supplied with this Chainsaw or recommended.
•
Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp with
proper tension.
How to use Saw Safely
1. Use the Chainsaw only with secure footing.
2. Hold the Chainsaw at the right-hand side of your body
(See Fig. N)
3. The chain must be running at full speed before it makes
contact with the wood.
4. Use the bumper spikes to secure the saw onto the
wood before starting to cut.
5. Use the Bumper Spikes as a leverage point while
cutting. (See Fig. O)
6. Do not operate the Chainsaw with arms fully extended,
attempt to saw areas which are difficult to reach, or
stand on a ladder while sawing (See Fig. P)
Never use the Chainsaw above shoulder height
Cutting wood under tension (See Fig. Q)
WARNING: When cutting a limb that is under
tension, use extreme caution. Be alert for wood
springing back. When wood tension is released, limb
could spring back and strike operator causing severe
injury or death.
When sawing logs supported on both ends, start the
cut from above(Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into the log
(overbuck) and then finish the cut (Z) from below, in order
to avoid contact of the Chainsaw with the ground. When
sawing logs supported on only one end, start the cut from
below (Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into the log (underbuck)
and finish the cut from above (Z) in order to avoid log
splitting or jamming of the Chainsaw.
SAW MAINTENANCE
Follow maintenance instructions in this manual. Proper
cleaning of saw and chain and Guide Bar maintenance can
reduce chances of kickback. Inspect and maintain saw after
each use. This will increase the service life of your saw.
NOTE: Even with proper sharpening, risk of kickback can
increase with each sharpening.
