IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: WHEN USING AN ELECTRIC CHAIN SAW, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, AND INJURY TO PERSONS, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. 1. Keep Work Area Clean 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 tree. 2 .
9. Use Safety Glasses Also use safety footwear; snug fitting clothing; protective gloves; hearing and head protection. IO. Carrying Saw Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the saw stopped, finger off the switch, the guide bar and saw chain t o the rear. 11. Maintain Chain Saw With Care Inspect chain saw cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility. Keep cord clear of the chain and operator at all times.
(1) Grip saw firmly. Hold the chain saw firmly with both hands when the motor is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw 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)Don't cut above shoulder height. (6) Use devices such as low kickback chain, chain brakes and special guide bars that reduce the risks associated with kickback.
Use Of Extension Cord If the extension cord is intended t o be used outdoors, the cord shall be marked with the suffix W-A following the cord type designation, for example - SJTWA, t o indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use. Use an extension cord heavy enough t o carry the current the tool will draw. Undersize cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and over-heating. Make sure the extension cord is i n good condition before using.
Chain Saw Nomenclature LEFT SIDE Front handle v Rear handle / Trigger switch RIGHT SIDE Oil cap Guide bar nose \ I Sprocket Guide bar mounting pad Bar Tip Guard - A n attachment that may be provided on the end of the guide bar t o prevent the chain at the end of the guide bar from contacting the wood. Bucking - The process of cross cutting a felled tree or log into lengths. Chain Brake - A device used t o stop the chain saw.
Front Handle Guard - A structural barrier between the front handle of a chain saw and the guide bar, typically located close t o the hand position on the front handle and sometimes employed as an activating lever for a chain brake. Guide Bar - A solid railed structure that supports and guides the saw chain.
Installing saw chain and guide bar CAUTION : Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing saw chain and guide bar Use the socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt holding the chain cover. Remove the chain cover. 1 Fig. 2 Fit one end of the chain over the sprocket and the other over the end of the guide bar. Notice that the cutters must be in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 3 and 4. Keep the chain in the guide bar grooves.
Adjusting saw chain tension CAUTION : Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting chain tension. Grasp the chain in the middle of the guide bar and lift up. The gap between the side link of the chain and the guide bar should be about 3 mm to 4 mm (1/8" - 5/32"). Fig. 5 I f the gap is not about 3 m m to 4 m m (1/8" - 5/32"), adjust the chain tension. Use a screwdriver to turn the chain tension adjusting screw clockwise for more tension, or counterclockwise for less tension.
Lubrication This tool i s equipped with an automatic lubrication system, so the chain is lubricated automatically when the motor is running. I Gear housing cover \ I Window To replenish the oil, take off the cap on the tank and fill with the oil supply. The oil tank capacity i s 170 cc (5.5 oz). CAUTION : Turbine oil #200 or machine oil is recommended. A special oil or one of high viscosity i s neither needed nor advisable, since the aim is to lubricate the chain and the guide bar.
Hook When using an extension cord, secure it to the tool’s cord with the hook provided. Attach the hook about 100-200 mm (4”8”) from the extension cord connector. This will help prevent unintentional disconnection. Power cord Extension cord Fig. Cutting operation Turn the tool on and allow the chain to reach full speed before it contacts the wood. Be sure the chain is adequately lubricated. Use the spike as a pivot point and ease the tool into the wood, rocking it in gently.
To release the chain brake, reset the protector to the exact original position after turning the tool off. Fig. 14 WARNING: 0 Under normal circumstances, it should never be necessary to intentionally release the chain brake while the tool i s running. Occasionally, after the brake has been actuated, the protector may not reset t o the exact original position. If this happens, place the tool on a flat surface in a clear area (away from other persons or objects that might contact the saw chain).
Using the chain saw Always be sure of your footing and hold the chain saw firmly with both hands while the motor is running. Felling a tree When bucking and felling operations are being performed by two or more persons, a t the same time, the felling operation should be separated from the bucking operation by a distance of a t least twice the height of the tree being felled. Trees should not be felled in a manner that would endanger any person, strike any utility line or cause any property damage.
Felling back cut Make the felling back cut a t least 2 inches (50.8 mm) higher than the horizontal notching cut as shown in Fig. 17. Keep the felling back cut parallel to the horizontal notching cut. Make the felling back cut so enough wood i s left to act as a hinge. The hinge wood keeps the tree from twisting and falling in the wrong direction. Do not cut through the hinge. - Direction of fall back cut Notch - __ ---7 1\ \ \\\ 2 inches Hinge 1 Fig.
Bucking a log Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to make sure your footing is firm and your weight i s 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 i s supported along its entire length as shown in Fig. 19, it is cut from the top (overbuck). I Cut from top (overbuck) avoid cutting earth When the log is supported on one end, as shown in Fig.
When bucking on a slope, always stand on the uphill side of the log, as shown in Fig. 22. When ”cutting through”, t o maintain complete control, release the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the chain saw handles. Don‘t l e t the chain contact the ground. After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain t o stop before you move the chain saw. Always stop the motor before moving from tree to tree. 1 log may roll. Fig.
MAINTENANCE CAUTION : Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting t o perform inspection or maintenance. Filling saw chain To get the most in cutting performance from your tool, you must keep the cutter sharp and filed properly as shown below. TOP PLATE ANGLE SIDE PLATE ANGLE Cutter A top plate angle of 30' is ideal. Raker , File the side plate to 85".
Removing chip buildup Chips and sawdust will build up in the guide bar groove and oil hole, clogging them and impairing oil flow. Remove the guide bar and clean them out. Clean out Guide bar Fig. 2 Replacing carbon brushes Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon brushes should be replaced a t the same time. Use only Makita carbon brushes.
