Make certain you read and understand all Important Safety Information, pages 2 through 4.Improperuseof thischainsaw can cause severe injury or death from fire,electricalshock,orbodycontactwith moving chain, or falling wood. EXTENSION CORDS Use proper extension cords with this saw. Use only extension cords marked for outdoor use. The cord must be marked with suffix W or W-A following the cord type designation. Example: SJTW-A or SJTW. Use proper sized cord with this saw. Cord must be heavy enough to carry current needed.An undersized cord will cause voltage drop at saw. Saw will lose power and overheat. Follow cord size requirements listed below. Cord Length AWG Cord Size 25 feet 16 AWG 50 feet 16 AWG 100 feet 16 AWG 150 feet 14 AWG Models Pole Saw Assy: 104317, 106821, and 106821A; Pole Saw: 104316-04 (8./20.3 cm), 106890 (10./25.4 cm),and 108526-01 [8.(20.3 cm), 10. (25.4 cm)] Keep cord away from cutting area. Make sure cord does not catch on branches or logs during cutting. Inspect cords often. Replace damaged cords. The extension cord may come undone from the power cord during use. To avoid this, make a knot with the two cords as shown in Figure 7. OILING CHAIN Always check oil level before using saw. Do not attempt to operate the oil system while saw is in operation. To oil chain,press squeezebulb.Oil willfeedontothe guidebar and chain. Press squeeze bulb at least once before each cut. Check oil level often by looking at oil sight level hole. Oil sight level hole is on left side of saw, between front handle and front hand guard. CUTTING WITH THE CHAIN SAW 1. Connect saw to extension cord. Connect extension cord to power supply. 2. Make sure section of log to be cut is not laying on ground. This will keep chain from touching ground as it cuts through log. Touching ground with moving chain will dull chain. 3. Use both hands to grip saw. Always use left hand to grip front handle and right hand to grip rear handle. Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around saw handles (see Figure 9). 4. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet. 5. When ready to make a cut, press in switch lockout with right thumb and squeeze trigger (see Figure 9). This will turn saw on. Releasing trigger will turn saw off. Make sure saw is running at full speed before starting a cut. Continued 108539 17 OPERATING CHAIN SAW Continued 6. When starting a cut, place moving chain against wood. Hold saw firmly in place to avoid possible bouncing or skating (sideways movement) of saw. 7. Guide saw using light pressure. Do not force saw. The motor will overload and can burn out. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended. 8. Remove saw from a cut with saw running at full speed. Stop saw by releasing trigger. Make sure chain has stopped before setting saw down. 9. Practice until you can maintain a steady, even cutting rate. FELLING A TREE (Cutting Down a Tree) WARNING: • Avoid kickback. Kickback can result in severe injury or death. See Kickback, page 3, to avoid risk of kickback. • Do not fell a tree without ample skill or expert help. • Keepchildren,animals,andbystanders away from area when felling a tree. • If two or more persons perform bucking and felling operations at the same time, provide ample distance between operations.Provide distance of at least twice the height of tree being felled. WARNING:Whenfellingatree,beaware ofyoursurroundings.Donotendangerany person,strikeutilitylines,orcauseproperty damage. If tree strikes utility lines, contact utility company at once. Felling is the process of cutting down a tree. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet. Follow directions below to fell a tree. Before Felling a Tree 1. Before felling, inspect tree. Make sure there are no dead limbs or branches that may fall on you. Study natural lean of tree, location of larger branches, and wind direction. This will help you judge which way tree will fall. 2. Clear work area around tree. 3. Plan and clear a retreat path before felling. Make retreat path opposite to planned direction of fall of tree and at 45° angle (see Figure 10). 4. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples, and wire from tree where you will make felling cuts. 5. Stay on uphill side when felling tree. Tree could roll or slide downhill after falling. Felling Procedure A) Felling Notch A properly placed felling notch will determine direction tree will fall. Place felling notch on side of tree in direction you want tree to fall (see Figure 11). Follow directions below to create a felling notch. 1. Make lower notch cut as close to ground as possible. Hold saw so guide bar is horizontal. Cut 1/3 the diameter of tree trunk (see Figure 11). Note: Always make this horizontal lower notch cut first. If you make this cut second, tree can pinch chain or guide bar. 2. Start upper notch cut the same distance above first cut as first cut is deep. E...
