Instructions Before Use

Read all the instructions contained in this manual. Keep this

manual in a safe place, so that the information is available at

all times. If you give the equipment to another person, make

sure to provide these operating instructions. Basic safety

precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of

re, electric shock, and personal injury.

Notice the personal safety alert symbol m used in this

manual to draw your attention to a WARNING given along

with the particular operating instruction. This means that

the operation requires special ATTENTION, CAUTION, and

AWARENESS.

Intended Use

This electric chain saw was designed and manufactured for

trimming and pruning tree limbs and branches and for cutting

smaller logs up to 10 in. (25 cm) thick. All of the wooden

objects intended to be cut with this chain saw should be no

thicker than the guide bar's maximum cutting capabilities.

Improper Use

Any other use diering from the above mentioned applications

poses a serious hazard to the user and may damage both the

tool and your personal property. Examples of improper use

include, but are not limited to:

• trimming hedges;

• carving;

• sectioning pallets, crates, and various packing materials;

• sectioning furniture or other materials with nails, screws, or

other metal components;

• butchering meat;

• using the machine to lift, move, or split objects;

• using the machine while fastened to xed supports.

Improper use of the machine will invalidate the warranty,

relieve the manufacturer from all liabilities. The user will

consequently be liable for all and any damage or injury to

himself/herself or others.

General Safety

mWARNING! When using electric yard tools, basic safety

precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of

re, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:

1. Keep guards in place – Protective guards should be

checked periodically to ensure they are properly tted and

in correct working order.

2. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches – Check that

adjusting wrenches are removed from the saw before

turning it on.

3. Keep work area clean and well-lit – Clear work area of

branches and limbs after each cutting session. Cluttered

areas invite accidents.

4. Avoid dangerous conditions – Do not use this machine

in rainy, stormy, damp, or wet locations. Do not operate

the unit in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors

in these units normally spark, and the sparks may ignite

fumes.

5. Do not use the chain saw in the rain.

6. Keep bystanders and children away – All bystanders,

including children and pets, should be kept a safe

distance away from the work area.

7. Do not force the tool – It will do the job eectively and

safely if it is used at the rate for which it was designed.

8. Use the right tool – Do not force the tool or any

attachment on the tool to do a job for which it was not

intended.

9. Wear proper apparel – Do not wear loose articles of

clothing or jewelry since such items may get caught

in moving parts. Wearing heavy-duty rubber gloves,

substantial non-skid footwear, and close-tting clothing is

recommended when working outdoors with power tools.

10. Wear protective hair coverings to contain long hair.

11. Always wear safety glasses and ear defenders to

provide eye and ear protection – Everyday eyeglasses

only have impact resistant lenses and do not provide the

same protection as safety glasses.

12. Wear face or dust masks – If the cutting operation is

dusty, the use of a face or dust mask specially designed

to lter out microscopic particles is recommended.

13. Do not overreach – Keep proper footing and balance

at all times.

14. Maintain tools with care – Keep tools sharp and clean

for the best and safest performance. Follow instructions

for lubricating and changing accessories.

This electric chain saw is double-insulated, eliminating the need for a separate grounding system. Use only identical replacement parts. Read the instructions before servicing double-insulated appliances. Use this chain saw only as described in this manual. • Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery and can cause loss of control. • Cut wood only. Do not use the chain saw for any other purpose.
PAGE 5
• Ensure safe carrying of the chain saw. Whenever the machine is to be handled or transported, you must: – switch off the motor and wait for the chain to come to a complete stop; – mount the guide bar cover; – hold the machine using the hand grips and position the bar in the opposite direction to that used during operation.

3. Starting at the tip, mount the chain drive links into the bar groove, leaving a loop at the back of the bar. The chain will loosely fit until it is placed on the sprocket (Fig. 3). Fig. 5 NOTE: Make certain of the direction of the chain. If the chain is mounted backwards, the saw will vibrate abnormally and will not cut. Chain tensioner screw Blade screwdriver Fig. 3 6.

7. Remove all slack from the chain by turning the chain tensioner screw clockwise until the chain seats snugly against the bar with the drive links flush inside the bar groove (Fig. 7). 3. Remove the cutting bar and chain from the mounting surface (Fig. 8). Fig. 8 NOTE: The chain is correctly tensioned when there is no sag on the underside of the guide bar; the chain is snug, but can be rotated by hand without binding. For more information on chain tensioning, see the maintenance section beginning on pg.

Use a good quality bar and chain oil designed specifically for use with chain saws. Bar and chain oil can be purchased at your local hardware store or online at snowjoe.com. mWARNING! Before performing any checks, mCAUTION! The chain will continue to run for several seconds after turning off the tool. 1.

2. Make a loop in the power cord and push it up through the hole in the handle and around the cord restraint hook (Fig. 12), then connect the extension cord to the appliance cord. 2. Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property. 3. Always wear suitable clothing when using the machine. Wear anti-vibration gloves and other personal protective equipment. Fig.
PAGE 13
mWARNING! Prolonged exposure to vibrations can cause injuries and neurovascular disorders (also called “Raynaud's syndrome” or “white hand”), especially to people suffering from circulation disorders. The symptoms can effect the hands, wrists, and fingers and manifest with loss of sensitivity, numbness, itching, pain, and discoloring of or visible changes to the skin. These effects can be worsened by low ambient temperatures and/or by gripping the hand grips too tightly.

7. Let the chain do the work; exert only light downward pressure. If you force the cut, damage to the bar, chain, or unit can result. 8. Do not put the pressure on the saw at the end of the cut. 9. Always cut with both feet on solid ground to prevent falling. 10. Do not cut above chest height since it is difficult to control kickback forces with a saw held high.

• Limbing a tree II) When the log is supported on one end (Fig. 19B), cut 1/3 the diameter from the underside (underbuck). Then make the finishing cut by overbucking to meet the first cut. Limbing is the process in which branches are removed from a fallen tree. When limbing, leave larger lower limbs to support the log off the ground. Remove the small limbs in one cut as illustrated (Fig. 18). Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the chain saw. Fig. 19B 2 Fig.
PAGE 16
IV) It is easier to saw a log using the spiked bumper (Fig. 19D). – • If there is excessive dirt or resin build-up, disassemble the chain and place it in a container with a suitable cleanser. Then rinse it with clean water and treat it with a suitable anticorrosive spray before reassembling it on the machine. Dig the spiked bumper into the log and use it as a pivot. Cut with an arched motion to make the bar penetrate the wood.
PAGE 17
Chain Tension An authorized service center will sharpen the chain using the right tools to ensure minimum removal of material and even sharpness on all the cutting edges. Check the chain tension before using the saw when the chain is cold. The correct tension of a cold chain is when there is no slack on the underside of the guide bar; the chain is snug, but you can rotate it by hand without binding. During normal saw operation, the temperature of the chain will increase.
PAGE 18
Support Guide Bar Maintenance When the guide bar shows signs of wear, turn it over on the saw to distribute the wear for maximum bar life. Feathering or burring of the bar rails is a normal process of bar wear. You should smooth such faults with a file as soon as they occur.
