Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specified on the product
nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position.
If the plug is connected to a power receptacle while
the power switch is in the ON position, the power
tool will start operating immediately, inviting serious
accident.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is removed from the power
source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness
and rated capacity. The extension cord should be
kept as short as practicable.
4. Confirm the chain tension
Improper chain tension may result in damage to
the chain and the guide bar, and could cause serious
accident. Always confirm that there is proper tension
on the chain prior to operation.

Do not use stained or degraded motor oil. Check
oil reservoir periodically and keep it filled while
running saw.
6. Oiling the guide bar and chain

ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION
1. Loosen the bolt securing the chain cover with the
accessory wrench, as shown in Fig. 1. It is not
necessary to remove the bolt.
2. While lifting the tip of the guide bar, turn the
adjusting screw with the accessory minushead
screwdriver to adjust the chain tension, as shown
in Fig. 2. The chain tension is increased by turning
the adjusting screw clockwise, and slackened by
turning counterclockwise.
3. The chain tension must be adjusted so that a 0.5–
1.0 mm gap appears between the chain drive links
and the guide bar when the chain is lightly raised
at the center section of the guide bar as shown Fig.
3.
4. When chain tension adjustment is completed,
retighten the bolt securing the chain cover.
CAUTION
Due to the sharpness of the chain, protect your
hands when checking the tension or servicing.
CUTTING PROCEDURES
