MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

CHAIN BRAKE® TEST

Before cutting with your saw, the Chain Brake® should be tested as follows:

A.Make sure the Chain Brake® is disengaged (Fig. 26).

B.Place the saw on a firm, flat, dry surface that is clear of any debris. Do not let the saw come in contact with any objects.

C.Plug the unit into the power source.

D.Grasp the front handle (not the Chain Brake®/Hand Guard Lever) with your left hand. Thumb and fingers should encircle the handle.

E.Grasp the rear handle with your right hand. Thumb and fingers should encircle the handle.

F.Slide the LOCK/OFF button with your right thumb. Squeeze the trigger with your index finger (Fig. 7).

G.While the motor is running, activate the Chain Brake® by rolling your left hand forward against the lever.

H.Chain and motor should stop abruptly.

WARNING: If the chain and motor fail to stop

when the Chain Brake® is engaged, take the saw to a Sears or other qualified service dealer. Do not use the saw if the Chain Brake® is not in proper working order.

EXTENSION CORDS

When using an electric chain saw, plug it into the exten- sion cord only when you are ready to cut wood. Connect the extension cord to a 110/120 voltage outlet. Refer to the Electrical Safety Warnings section.

CAUTION: A cord that is hot to the touch is over-

loaded.

WARNING: Do not operate your chain saw in a wet or

damp environment. Do not expose the saw to rain, snow or sleet. Moisture will cause short circuits. Replace or repair any damaged or frayed extension cords before using your saw. Keep the cord away from the cutting area and position the cord so that it will not be caught on branches or other objects during cutting.

DOUBLE INSULATION

WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACE- MENT PARTS.

Information

Do not use if the cord or plug is damaged. Your appliance is double insulated to help protect against electric shock. Double insulation construction consists of 2 separate “lay- ers” of electrical insulation.

Appliances built with this insulation system are not intend- ed to be grounded. As a result, the extension cord used with your appliance can be plugged into any conventional 120 volt electrical outlet.

Normal safety precautions must be observed when operat- ing an electrical appliance. The double insulation system is only for added protection against injury resulting from a possible internal electrical insulation failure.

WARNING: Your double insulat- ed appliance has no

serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to repair it yourself. For service information, take the saw to a Sears or other qualified service dealer.

In this double insulated appliance, 2 systems of insulation, instead of grounding, are provided. No grounding means is provided on a double insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added to the appliance. No serv- iceable parts are inside. A double insulated appliance is marked with the words, “DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOU- BLE INSULATED.” The symbol (square within a square) may also be marked on the appliance.

Maintenance

1.Place switch in OFF position and unplug the power supply before the appliance is serviced, cleaned, or maintenance is performed.

2.Keep the air intake clean and air vents free of debris to avoid overheating the motor.

3.Clean with a damp sponge and mild soap. Do not squirt with a water hose or douse with water or other liquids.

4.Inspect the saw chain for proper tension before each

use and frequently during cutting. Sharpen as required. Refer to the Chain Sharpening in Maintenance and Repair Instructions.

5.Clean the guide bar and bar pad to ensure free path for oil.

6.No motor lubrication is necessary. The motor is equipped with lifetime lubricated bearings.

7.If the saw does not operate, turn switch to OFF posi- tion and disconnect the extension cord, first from the power supply, then from the saw. Check the power supply for blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers. If it still does not operate, take the saw to a Sears or other qualified service dealer.

NOTE: Do not attempt to repair saw yourself. No serviceable parts are inside.
