SAW CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT

!WARNING: Maintain proper chain tension always. A loose chain will increase the risk of kickback. A loose chain may jump out of guide bar groove. This may injure operator and damage chain. A loose chain will cause chain, guide bar, and sprocket to wear rapidly.

Note: For pre assembled models, the saw chain tension is properly set at factory. A new chain will stretch. Check new chain after first few minutes of operation. Allow chain to cool down. Follow steps below to readjust saw chain tension.

1.Before adjusting chain, make sure guide bar nuts are only ﬁnger tight (see Figure D and E). Also make sure adjusting block is in oval adjusting hole on guide bar (see Figures D, E, and F).

2.Turn adjusting screw clockwise until all slack is out of chain (see Figure G). Note: There should be no gap between side links of chain and bottom of guide bar (see Figure H).

3.Wearing protective gloves, move chain around guide bar. Chain should move freely. If chain does not move freely, loosen chain by turning adjusting screw counterclockwise.

4.After chain tension is correct, tighten guide bar nuts ﬁrmly. If not, guide bar will move and loosen chain tension. This will increase the risk of kickback. This can also damage saw. Note: A new chain will stretch. Check new chain after ﬁrst few minutes of operation. Allow chain to cool down. Readjust chain tension.

FILLING OIL TANK

1.Remove oil cap.

2.Fill oil tank with SAE #30 motor oil. Grain-based biodegradable bar and chain lubricants made from rapeseed oil, canola oil, or sunflower oil bases also

provide acceptable performance. Note: For temperatures below -1°C, use SAE #10 oil. For temperatures above 24°C, use SAE #40 oil.

3.Replace oil cap at once. Tighten oil cap ﬁrmly for good seal. This will avoid oil seepage from tank.

4.Wipe off excess oil.

Note: It is normal for oil to seep when saw is not in use. Empty oil tank after each use to prevent seepage.

OPERATING CHAIN SAW

EXTENSION CORDS

Use proper extension cord with this chain saw. Use a HO7RN extension cord with no less than 1.5 mm2 wire at distances up to 30 meters. Use a ground fault circuit interrupter as part of the power supply system.

Use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current your saw will draw. An undersized cord will cause a voltage drop at the saw, loss of power, and overheating.

Keep cord away from cutting area. Make sure cord does not catch on branches or logs during cutting. Inspect cords often. Replace damaged cords.

OILING SAW CHAIN

Always check oil level before using saw. To oil chain, press squeeze bulb on oil cap. Do not attempt to operate the oiler while cutting with the saw. Oil will feed onto guide bar and chain. Press squeeze bulb on oil cap at least once before each cut. Check oil level often by looking at oil sight level hole. Oil sight level hole is on left side of saw, between front handle and front hand guard.

CUTTING WITH THE CHAIN SAW

1.Connect saw to power supply.

2.Make sure area of log to be cut is not touching ground. This will keep chain from touching ground as it cuts through log. Touching ground with moving chain will dull chain.

3.Firmly grip saw as shown in Figure I. Thumbs and ﬁngers must wrap around saw handles.

4.Make sure your footing is ﬁrm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet. Stand slightly to left side of saw. This keeps your body from being in direct line with chain.

5.When ready to make a cut, press in switch lockout with right thumb and squeeze trigger (see Figure I). This will turn saw on. Releasing trigger will turn saw off. Make sure saw is running at full speed before starting a cut.

6.When starting a cut, place moving chain against wood. Hold saw ﬁrmly in place to avoid possible bouncing or skating (sideways movement) of saw.

7.Guide saw using light pressure. Do not force saw. Overload can cause motor burn out.
