Operation; Switching On And Off - Qualcast QHTLi40 Instruction Manual

Preparation
Kickback (continued)
- Never try cutting through two logs at the same time, only cut one log at a time.
- Do not bury the guide bar nose or try to plunge cut (boring into wood using
guide bar nose).
- Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that may pinch the chain.
- Use extreme caution when re-entering a previous cut.
- Use the low-kickback chain and guide bar supplied with this chainsaw. Only
replace these parts with chains and guide bars listed in this manual.
- Never use a dull or loose chain, and keep the chain sharp with proper tension.
- Do not hand sharpen the chain on automatic chain sharpening (fast sharp)
models.
Avoid jamming
Always cut into the compression wood first until the cut starts to close. Always
make the compression cut beneath, if the log or limb is suspended from one
end, and on top if it is supported at both ends, and cut from the other side
towards the compression cut. Make a habit of using a wedge to prevent the
compression cut jamming tight on the chainsaw blade.
