Instructions for use
Upon purchase, the saw is checked for completeness and assembled according to the instructions. Before starting work, it is recommended to run the device in, sawing wooden parts. In this case, it is necessary to make even movements, cyclically raising and lowering the handle.
During sawing, they act like this:
- Connect the tool to a network that gives a stable voltage. If it periodically drops, the electric motor receives a large load, due to which it will not be possible to achieve the declared power.
- Immediately before sawing, check the presence of lubrication, the correct fastening of the chain, the serviceability of the lock button, as well as the lubrication supply system.
- During work, stand on a flat surface and start sawing. The technology depends on what kind of operations are performed. So, when trimming the logs with a toothed stop, they touch the logs. The saw must be lifted simultaneously by both handles - front and rear.
- When making a cut along the log, it is important to ensure that the tire does not contact the surface of the tree, otherwise the tool may be thrown.
- It is important to periodically check the chain tension and not overload the saw. Therefore, you should work in cycles - sawing goes on for 40 seconds, after which there is a break for 20 seconds and then in the same rhythm.
Safety
During operation, the following rules must be observed:
- Do not place the chain close to any surface of the body. Before starting, make sure that it does not come into contact with anything. Even the slightest oversight, distraction can lead to injury.
