_ ARNING: When using an electric

JawSaw, basic safety precautions

should always be followed to reduce the risk

of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons,

including the following:

FOR DOURLE-|NSULATED JAWSAWS

a) REPLACLcMENT PARTS

When servicing use only identical

replacement parts.

b) POLAR|ZED PLUGS

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this

equipment has a polarized plug (one blade

is wider than the other).This plug will fit in a

polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does

not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. if it

still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician

to install the proper outlet. Do not change the

plug in any way.

c) FOR ALL JAWSAW$

11)Keep work area cieaL

Cluttered areas invite injuries.

Do not start cutting until you have a clear

work area, secure footing, and a planned

retreat path from the falling limbs.

t_) Consider work area environment. Use

extremecaution when cutting in wet and

muddy conditions.

Use extreme caution when cutting small

size brush and saplings because the slender

material may catch the saw chain and be

whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

Do not operate a JawSaw in a tree.

When cutting a limb that is under tension be

alert for spring back so that you will not be

struck when the tension in the wood fibers is

released.

Don't expose JawSaw to rain.

Don't use JawSaw in damp or wet locations.

Do not expose JawSaw to rain or snow

Do not use JawSaw in presence of flammable

liquids or gases.

3) Guard against electric shock

Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces.

For example: metal pipes, wire fences.

4) Keep chi|dren away

Do not let visitors contact JawSaw or

extension cord.

All visitors should be kept away from work

area.

51 Store idle JawSaw

When not in use, JawSaw should be stored in

a dry, and high or locked-up place- out of the

reach of children.

G) Don't force JawSaw

It will do the job better and safer at the rate for

which it was intended.

71 Use right tool

Cut wood only.

Don't use JawSaw for purpose not intended

- for example - Don't use JawSaw for

cutting plastic, masonry, non-wood building

materials.

81 Dress proper|y

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they

can get caught in moving parts. Always wear

work gloves and non-skid heavy-duty work

boots when operating the Jawsaw.

Wear protective hair covering to contain long

hair.

91 Use safety gJasses

Also use safety footwear; snug fitting

clothing; protective gloves; hearing and head

protection.

1O) Carrying ,JawSaw

Carry the JawSaw hanging from the hand

vertically by the rear handle with the saw

stopped and finger off the switch.

11) Maintain ,JawSaw with care

Inspect JawSaw cords periodically and if

damaged, have repaired by authorized service

facility.

Keep cord clear of the chain and operator at all

times. Never carry JawSaw by the cord or pull

it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord

from oil and sharp edges.

Inspect extension cords periodically and

replace if damaged.

Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer

performance.

Follow instructions for lubrication and

changing accessories.

Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and

grease.

121 Disconnect JawSaw

Disconnect JawSaw when not in use, before

servicing, and when changing accessories and

attachments, such as saw chain and guard.

11:3)Outdoor use extension cords

Use only extension cords intended for use

outdoors and so marked. See more detail in

the Electrical Safety section of this manual.

14.) Stay alert

Watch what you are doing. Use common

sense. Do not operate JawSaw when you are

tired.

Keep all parts of the body away from the saw

chain when the motor is operating.

Before you start the saw, make sure the saw

chain is not contacting anything.

15) Check damaged parts

Before further use of the JawSaw, a guard

or other part that is damaged should be

carefully checked to determine that it will

operate properly and perform its intended

function. Check for alignment of moving parts,

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,

mounting, and any other conditions that may

affect its operation. A guard or other part

that is damaged should be properly repaired

or replaced by an authorized service center

unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this

instruction manual.

Have defective switches replaced by

authorized service center.

Do not use JawSaw if switch does not turn it

onandoff.

DonotoperateJawSawthatisdamaged,

improperlyadjusted,orisnotcompletely

andsecurelyassembled.Besurethatthe

sawchainstopsmovingwhenthetriggeris

released.

1G) Pewer supp|y

Connect JawSaw to correct voltage, that is, be

sure that the voltage supplied is the same as

that specified on the nameplate of the tool.

17) WARNING:To minimize the risk of eye

injury, always use eye protection.

_ ARN|NG: KICKBACK may occur

when the nose ortip of the guide bar

touches an object, or when the wood closes

in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.Tip

contact in some cases may cause a lightning

fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up

and back towards the operator. Pinching the

saw chain along the top of the guide bar may

push the guide bar rapidly back towards the

operator. Either of these reactions may cause

you to lose control of the saw which could

result in serious injury to user.The following

precautions should be followed to minimize

kickback.

(1) Grip saw firmly. Hold the JawSaw firmly

with both hands when the motor is

running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and

fingers encircling the JawSaw handles.

(2) Do not over reach.

(3) Keep proper footing and balance at all

times.

(4) Don't let the nose of the guide bar contact

a log, branch, ground or other obstruction.

(5) Use devices such as low kickback chain,

guide bar nose guards, chain brakes and

special guide bars that reduce the risks

associated with kickback.

(6) Only use replacement bars and chains

specified by the manufacturer or the

equivalent.

ELECTR|CAL SAFETY

1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in anyway.

Unmodified and matching plugs greatly

reduce the risk of electric shock.

2. Ground Fault Interrupter (GFIC) protection

should be provided on the circuits

or outlets to be used for the outdoor

appliance.

3. Use the extension cord to be a type

acceptable for outdoor use, for example

- SJTW, and the size should be 18AWG

or larger. An undersized cord will cause

a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of

power and overheating. Make sure the

extension cord is in good condition before

using; and keep the cord away from the

cutting area and to position cord so that

it will not be caught on branches, and the

like, during cutting.

4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord

for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the

power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,

sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged

or entangled cords increase the risk of

electrical shock.

5. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch

is in the off position before plugging in.

6. Disconnect JawSaw when not in use,

before servicing, and when changing

accessories and attachments, such as

guards and saw chain.

7. E_ensien cerd. wMake sure your

extension cord is in good condition. When

using an extension cord, be sure to use

one heavy enough to carry the current your

product will draw. An undersized extension

cord will cause a drop in line voltage

resulting in loss of power and overheating.

Table 1 shows the correct size to use

depending on cord length and nameplate

ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next

heavier gage.The smaller the gage number,

the heavier the cord.To reduce the risk of

disconnection of appliance cord from the

extension cord during operating:

i) Make a knot as shown in Figure 1; or

ii) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining

straps or connectors described in this

manual.

ASSEMBLY

_ AIIN|NG: Before touching

the chain or ma_nG any other

adjustments, make sure that the too| is

switched off and unp|ugged.

All saw chains wear and become loose from

operation. Periodically check the chain, if there

is any visible gap between the chain and the

guide bar, it must be re-tensioned.

_ ARN|NG: UnpJug JawSaw from

power source before adjusting saw

chain tension.

_ ARN|NG: Cutting edges on chain

are sharp. Use protective g|oves

when hand|ing chain.

This product comes fully assembled. However,

we recommend that you check the chain

tension before use and readjust if necessary.

AIIIIISTIMII THE CHAIN

TENSION

1. Push the handle until the bar is in the

middle of the jaw opening as shown. Lock

the bar in the middle position by inserting

the lock pin (17) found on the power cord

into the lock pin receptacle (18) located

under the handle. (See Fig. B1-B3)

2. Open the chain access cover (12) by using

the supplied wrench.To open turn the

access cover nut 1/4 turn counter-clockwise.

3. Release tension on the chain by loosening

the chain tensioner bolt (15).Turn the chain

tensioner bolt counter-clockwise 2 or more

times. (See Fig. D)

4. Re-tighten the chain tensioner bolt by

turning the chain tensioner bolt. When

tightening the chain tensioner bolt the

automatic chain tensioning system will set

the tension to the chain at the same time.

5. Check that the correct chain tension has

been set. It should be possible to pull

the chain away from the side of the bar

approximately 1/8" (3mm) and it should

snap back. (See Fig. E)

If tension is incorrect, repeat step 3,

ensuring the bar is free to move when the

tensioner is released.

CHANGING THE GII|IIE BAR

AND CHAIN

_ ARN|NG: Laceration hazard.

Always wear protective gloves when

installing or removing the saw chain.The saw

chain is sharp and can cut you even when it is

not running.

WARN|NG: Burn hazard. The chain

guide bar and chain may become hot

during use. Allow to cool before adjustment or

removal.

1. Ensure the operation is carried out on a

firm surface.

2. Disconnect the power, install the lock

prepared to support the tools weight.

TRIMHING B_NCN[S:

Before cutting any branch, you must consider

the following:

1. is the branch heavy, will it damage

anything when it falls?

* Large branches should be cut in small

sections starting at the farthest end from

the tree.

* Always check where the branch will fall

BEFORE commencing the cut.

* Never stand under a branch being cut.

* Never cut two branches at once.

2. Will the branch split before it is cut

through? (See Fig.R1,R2.)

* To prevent splitting, use the JawSaw

inverted, make a small cut (less than 1/3

diameter of the limb) from the underside.

* Then turn the JawSaw over to the

normal position and cut from top down,

slightly further out from the trunk than the

initial undercut.

3. Isthe branch undertension, will itspring

suddenly or trap the saw when it is cut?

* Always stand outside the path of a

springy branch. It can strike suddenly with

KICKBACKSAFETY

This saws chain is covered by a guard

however, kickback can still occur.The

following steps will reduce the risk of kickback

* Use both hands to grip saw while saw

is running. Use firm grip.Thumbs and

fingers must wrap around saw handles.

* Keep all safety items in place on saw.

Make sure they work properly.

* Do not overreach.

* Keep solid footing and balance at all

times.

* Stand slightly to right side of saw.This

keeps your body from being in direct line

with chain.

* Do not let guide bar nose touch anything

when chain is moving.

* Never try cutting through two logs at

same time. Only cut one log at a time.

* Do not bury guide bar nose or try plunge

cut (boring into wood using guide bar

nose).

* Watch for shifting of wood or other forces

that may pinch chain.

* Use extreme caution when reentering a

previous cut.

* Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep

chain sharp with proper tension.

GENE_L BEHAVIOR

Use the JawSaw only with secure footing.

Hold the JawSaw at the right-hand side of

your body. (See Fig. S)

The chain must be running at full speed

before it makes contact with the wood. Use

the metal jaw teeth to secure the saw onto the

wood before starting to cut. (See Fig.T)

Do not operate the JawSaw with arms fully

extended or attempt to saw areas which are

difficult to reach, or on a ladder. (See Fig. U)

CUTTING WOOD UNDER TENSION (See

Fig. V)

_ ARNING: _en cutting a Jimh

that is under tension, use extreme

caution, lie aJert for wood springing

hack. When wood tension is reJeased,

the limb couW spring hack and strike

operator causing severe injury or death.

When sawing Jogs supported on both ends,

start the cut from above(Y) about 1/3 of the

diameter into the Jog and then finish the cut

(Z) from below, in order to avoid contact of

the JawSaw with the ground.When sawing

logs supported on only one end, start the cut

from below (Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into

the log and finish the cut from above (Z) in

order to avoid log splitting or jamming ofthe

tool.

L|MIIING A TREE {See Fig. W)

Limbing is removing the branches from a

fallen tree.When limbing leave larger lower

limbs to support the log offthe ground.

Remove the small limbs in one cut as

illustrated. Branches under tension should be

cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the

JawSaw.

lille#KING A LOG (See Fig. X)

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. Follow the simple directions for easy

cutting.

_ WARNING:

* If on slope, make sure log will not roll

down hill. Secure log by using wooden

stakes. Drive wooden stakes into ground

on downhill side of log. Stand on uphill

side of log while cutting. Log may roll

after cutting. (See Fig.Y)

* Never try cutting through two logs at

same time.This could increase the risk of

kickback.

* Whilecuttinglog,neverholdlogwith

yourhandorleg.

* Whilecuttinglog,neverallowanother

REPII_C|NG SAW CHA|N/CHA|N HAR

Replace chain when cutters are too worn

to sharpen or when chain breaks. Only use

replacement chain noted in this manual.

Always include new drive sprocket when

replacing chain.This will maintain proper

driving of chain. Inspect guide bar before

sharpening chain. A worn or damaged guide

bar is unsafe. Aworn or damaged guide bar

will damage chain, it will also make cutting

harder.

To Replace the bar, remove the mounting plate

(a), which is retained by a single screw.

To fit to the new bar, fit the mounting plate

(a) into the new bar by tightening the screw

clockwise.The projecting tab (f) must be fitted

through the bar slots outwards. (See Fig.

F&G 1)

SHARPENING SAW CHAIN
