OPERATION

Chain Lubrication Test

Hold the chain just above a dry surface and open the throttle to half
speed for 30 seconds.
A thin line of "thrown" oil should be seen on the dry surface.

Cutting Instructions

General
• This chain saw is designed for cutting wood. Do not cut metal, plastic
or any non-wood material.
• Wear suitable hearing protection such as earmuffs or earplugs to
protect against objectionable or uncomfortable loud noises.
• Do not let the tip of the bar touch anything while the engine is
running. At cutting speed the chain is moving at a high rate of speed.
Should the tip contact a limb or log while the chain is moving, the tip
will be pushed upward with considerable force. This is known as
kickback. Avoid it!
In all circumstances the operation of the chain saw is a one-man job. It is
difficult at times to take care for your own safety, so don't assume the
responsibility for a helper as well. After you have learned the basic
techniques of using the saw, your best aid will be your own good common sense.
The accepted way to hold the saw is to stand to the left of the saw with your
left hand on the front handlebar and your right hand on the rear handle so
you can operate the throttle trigger with your right index finger. Before
attempting to fell a tree, cut some small logs or limbs. Become thoroughly
familiar with the controls and the responses of the saw.
Start the engine, see that it is running properly. Squeeze the trigger to open
the throttle wide open and start the cut. If the chain is properly sharpened,
the cutting should be relatively effortless. It is not necessary to press down
hard to make the saw cut. Pushing the saw too hard will slow the engine and
cutting will actually be more difficult.
Sap from palm trees may corrode metal parts unless proper saw maintenance is performed. Make sure to
clean metal parts from palm sap immediately after use.
• Remove sprocket cover. Clean wood chips and sawdust from cover and engine crankcase.
