SAFETY AND OPERATING MANUAL ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS Chain Saw WG303E
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. 1) Work area safety a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards. 4) Power tool use and care a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
8. Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance. 9. Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw switched off and away from your body. When transporting or storing the chain saw always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain. 10.
diagonally to the rear of the expected line of fall as illustrated in Figure 1. Before felling is started, consider the natural lean of the tree, the location of larger branches and the wind direction to judge which way the tree will fall. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire from the tree. X W 50 mm Y 1 Z 1 50 mm 2. Notching undercut Make the notch 1/3 the diameter of the tree, perpendicular to the direction of falls as illustrated in Figure 1.
5. Bucking a log Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to make sure your footing is firm and your weight is evenly distributed on both feet. When possible, the log should be raised and supported by the use of limbs, logs or chocks. Follow the simple directions for easy cutting. When the log is supported along its entire length as illustrated in Figure 3, it is cut from the top (overbuck).

And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions. This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed WARNING: To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual conditions of use should also take account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Intended use The chain saw is intended for sawing of trees, tree trunks, branches, wooden beams, planks, etc. Cuts can be sawed with or across the grain. This product is not suitable for sawing mineral materials. 18 ASSEMBLY WARNING! Do not connect the chain saw to mains before it is completely assembled. Always use gloves when handling the chain. 12 CHAIN AND GUIDE BAR ASSEMBLY 1. Unpack all parts carefully. 2. Place the chain saw on a solid, level surface. 3.
TENSIONING CHAIN Always check the chain tension before use, after the first cuts and regularly during use, approx. every 10 minutes. Upon initial operation, new chains can lengthen considerably. D 3-6mm E1 a E2 Chain Saw WARNING: Unplug chain saw from power source before adjusting saw chain tension. WARNING: Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use protective gloves when handling chain. WARNING: Maintain proper chain tension always. A loose chain will increase the risk of kickback.
4. Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, refit oil filler cap (4) and tighten. IMPORTANT: To allow venting of the oil reservoir, small breather channels are provided between the oil filler cap and the strainer, to prevent leakage ensure machine is left in a horizontal position (oil filler cap (4) uppermost) when not in use. It is important to use only the recommended oil to avoid damage to the chain saw. Never use recycled/old oil. Use of non approved oil will invalidate the warranty. F 1 OPERATION 1.
19 H CUTTING - is the oil reservoir filled? Check oil level gauge (19) prior to starting and regularly during operation. Refill oil when oil level is low. The oil tank filling will last approx. 16minutes, depending on sawing intensity and stops. (See Fig. H) - is the chain tension in order and is the chain sharp? Check new replaced chain tension approx. every 10 minutes during operation. Upon initial operation, new chains can lengthen considerably.
General behavior Always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands. Front grip with the left hand and rear grip with the right hand. Fully grip both handles at all times during operation. Never operate chain saw using only one hand. Ensure power cord is located to the rear, away from the chain and wood and so positioned that it will not be caught on branches or the like during cutting. (See Fig. G) Use the chain saw only with secure footing. Hold the chain saw at the right-hand side of your body.
When working on a slope, operate above or to the side of the trunk or laying tree. Be careful not to trip over tree stumps, branches, roots, etc. Y Z Z kg Y L CUTTING WOOD UNDER TENSION (SEE FIG. L) There is a high risk of accidents when sawing wood, branch or trees under tension. Be extremely careful. Leave saw jobs like these to professionals.
If the chain bar is worn out or damaged, take the chain tensioning catch off the bar by loosing the screw anticlockwise. Then fit the tensioning catch into the new bar by tightening the screw clockwise. The catch protrude (a) must be fitted into the bar hole. (See Fig M) Sharpening Chain Have your chain sharpened professionally at your approved service agent or sharpen the chain yourself using the sharpening kit. Follow the sharpening instructions supplied with the sharpening kit.
