IMPORTANT

SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

When

an

electric

chain

saw,

basic

has

a

polarized

plug

(one

blade

is

wider

then

the

plug.

If

it

still

does

not

fit,

contact

a

qualified

electrician

to

install

the

ADJUSTMENT

Proper

tension

of

the

saw

chain

is

extr-

emely

important

and

must

be

checked

before

starting,

as

well

as

during,

any

cutting

operation.

Taking

the

time

to

make

needed

adjustments

to

the

saw

chain

will

result

in

improved

cutting

performance

and

prolonged

chain

life.

NOTE:

A

new

chain

and

bar

will

need

readjustment

after

as

few

as

5

cuts.

This

is

normal

during

the

break-in

period,

and

the

interval

between

future

adjustments

will

lengthen

quickly

(Figure

CAUTION

If

a

is

TOO

LOOSE

or
