OPERATION

006007
Grasp firmly the grips on either side. Switch on the tool
and wait until the cutter chain attains full speed. Then
release the hook and lower the tool head to cut in the
workpiece. Do not apply excessive pressure to the tool.
This may not only decrease the working efficiency but
also cause a dangerous reaction. Feed slowly at the
beginning of a cutting operation, at the time of hole
breakthrough and when cutting a knot in the workpiece.
After cutting, gently raise the tool head until you can
hook the tool head back onto the hook. Then switch off
the tool. Raise the lever (A) and remove the tool from the
workpiece.
WARNING:
Always hook the tool head back onto the hook
•
when not operating the tool.
Never attempt to cut a twisted or warped
•
workpiece which the tool is not secured firmly to.
Adjusting indicator plate and indication plate
The yellow indicator plate and indication plate are
factory adjusted for the standard equipped cutter chain
18 mm (23/32"). If the alignment is off, for some reason,
or when using another size cutter chain, loosen the
screws and adjust the yellow indicator plate and
indication plate.
