OPERATION

► 1. Hook
Grasp firmly the grips on either side. Switch on the tool and
wait until the cutter chain attains full speed. Then release
the hook and lower the tool head to cut in the workpiece.
Do not apply excessive pressure to the tool. This may
not only decrease the working efficiency but also cause
a dangerous reaction. Feed slowly at the beginning of a
cutting operation, at the time of hole breakthrough and
when cutting a knot in the workpiece. After cutting, gently
raise the tool head until you can hook the tool head back
onto the hook. Then switch off the tool. Raise the lever (A)
and remove the tool from the workpiece.
WARNING:
• Always hook the tool head back onto the hook
when not operating the tool.
• Never attempt to cut a twisted or warped work-
piece which the tool is not secured firmly to.
Adjusting indicator plate and
indication plate
The yellow indicator plate and indication plate are fac-
tory adjusted for the standard equipped cutter chain 18
mm (23/32"). If the alignment is off, for some reason, or
when using another size cutter chain, loosen the screws
and adjust the yellow indicator plate and indication
plate.
