Fig. 12
CAUTION :
Turbine oil #200 or machine
oil is
recommended. A special
oil
or one of high viscosity
is neither needed nor advisable, since the aim is to lubricate the chain and the guide bar.
Do not use dirty oil nor volatile oil.
Cutting operation
Turn the tool on and allow the chain to reach full speed before
it
contacts the wood.
Be sure the chain
is
adequately lubricated.
Use the spike as
a
pivot point and ease the
tool into the wood, rocking
it
in gently.
Do
not force the guide bar in. Whenever
heavy work is prolonged, the overload pro-
tector will cut out to stop the motor.
CAUTION :
If you notice that the guide bar
i s
too hot to touch, stop operation and let the tool cool
off. Check the chain tension. Make sure the oil
is
feeding properly.
Overload protector
The overload protector automatically cuts
out to break the circuit and the button
pops out, whenever heavy work
i s
pro-
longed. If this occurs, turn the switch off
and unplug the tool. Check the chain ten-
sion,
oil
feeding and your sawing method.
Then press the restart button to resume
operation. Your finger should not be on
the trigger when you press the restart
button, however.
