CLEARING SPROCKET COVER OF DEBRIS

While operating the chain saw, wood chips, small twigs, and other debris can occasionally build up inside the sprocket cover. To properly maintain the saw and keep it in good working order, periodic removal of this debris may be required. To properly clear debris from the sprocket cover:

1.Unplug chain saw.

2.Loosen and remove guide bar nut (see Figure 10).

3.Turn chain tensioning screw counterclockwise to loosen chain until sprocket cover is easily removed.

4.After sprocket cover is removed, clear all chips, twigs, and debris.

WARNING: Use caution when clear- ing debris that is around chain. Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use protec- tive gloves when working around or handling chain.

5.Once debris has been removed, follow steps 7 through 11 on pages 7 and 8 in the Assembly section to re-assemble the sprocket cover to the chain saw.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use proper extension cords with this saw. Use only extension cords marked for outdoor use. The cord must be marked with suffix W or W-A following the cord type designation. Example: SJTW-A or SJTW.

Use proper sized cord with this saw. Cord must be heavy enough to carry current needed. An undersized cord will cause voltage drop at saw. Saw will lose power and over- heat. Follow cord size requirements listed below.

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

This chain saw is designed with an extension cord hitch that prevents the extension cord from being pulled loose during use. To use, form a loop with the end of the extension cord, insert loop into slot in rear of handle, and place loop over cord hitch (see Figure 11). Gently pull loop against cord hitch until slack is removed. Plug extension cord into chain saw cord.
