    HOSES AND FITTINGS There exists the potential for shock in using anything other than certified nonconductive hoses and hydraulic oil with dielectric properties, when using system components near WARNING energized electrical lines. Failure to recognize these conditions could cause electrocution. Hoses and fittings used with this tool must comply with S.A.E.
  • Page 9: Pre-Operation

    PRE-OPERATION OF SAW WARNING! DO NOT connect hoses or fittings to this chainsaw before completing all the following instructions. Before attempting to run or use the saw, check all connections, including hoses, couplings, chain tension, cleanliness, and ensure that safety trigger is moving freely. Wear all safety items required and make sure that the working area is clear of obstructions and non essential personnel.
  • Page 10: Operation Of Saw

    OPERATION Hold the chainsaw control handle in one hand and the forward handle in the other hand. After positioning the saw in the cutting area, engage the trigger actuator, allowing the trigger to be depressed. Depress the trigger slowly and allow the chain to start rotating. When at full speed, feed the saw into the material.
  • Page 11: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE The service schedule should be followed as closely as possible. The life, reliability, and safety of the tool is dependent on maintenance and will help the tool to remain productive for a much longer period. DAILY MAINTENANCE CLEAN: All surfaces including handle, trigger, trigger actuator, fittings, hoses, motor and housing.
  • Page 12: Chain Oiler

    SERVICE Automatic Chain Oiler: The automatic chain oiler is designed to continuously lubricate the chain and the guide bar while the chainsaw is running. This lubrication is an important factor in minimizing wear and tear on components as is commonly found in chainsaws. By utilizing the fluid from the supply circuit and sending the fluid through a metering valve, the fluid is then directed to the chain and guide in the quantity required.
  • Page 13: Chain Tension

    Saw Chain Tension: Tension checking and adjusting must be done frequently before start and during cutting operations. The chain must be set to the proper tension in order for the saw to function properly. If the chain is too loose, the chain can jump the track of the guide bar, probably causing damage to the bar and associated components.
