Safety General Operating Instructions 1. Before first use and before each use thereafter, remove the Oil Tank Cap. Inspect the Cap Gasket for damage. Fill the oil reservoir to just below fill plug with Bar and Chain Oil (not included). Then replace the Oil Tank Cap. Oil is automatically applied to the Saw Chain during operation. 2. Make sure that the Trigger is in the off‑position, then connect the outdoor rated extension cord (not included) to the Power Cord. Make sure the electrical cord is away from the cutting area. 3. Grasp the Handles with both hands. Always grip the handle with the thumb and fingers encircling the handle as shown. Figure L: Holding the Chain Saw Note: Front Handle Guard not shown. 4. Stand in front of the wood to be cut with your feet firmly in place. 5. Push the Lockout Switch to the left or right, then squeeze and hold the Trigger. With the Chain Saw running, you may release pressure on the Lockout Switch. Releasing the Trigger will stop the motor. NOTE: The Trigger cannot be activated unless the Lockout Switch is depressed. DANGER! To prevent serious injury and death from kickback: Do not touch the Guide Bar Nose to the wood. 6. When the Chain Saw reaches full speed, begin cutting with a light, downward pressure against the bottom mid-section of the Saw Chain. Allow the Saw Chain to cut at its own rate. Applying too much pressure can damage the tool. DANGER! When cutting loose, round wood stock, place the wood stock on a sawhorse, in a cradle, or use a timberjack (all sold separately) to avoid grabbing and throw back. 7. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and unplug it after use. 8. When the Saw has cooled completely, clean thoroughly and cover the Chain Guide Bar with the Chain Guide Bar Sheath. Store the tool indoors out of children's reach. Setup Operation Maintenance Page 16 For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797. Item 67255
