Saw Transportation Safety
■ Use an appropriate lifting equipment to ensure the safe
movement of the saw.
■ DO NOT use the handles as lifting points.
■ Safeguard against extreme saw attitudes relative to level.
An engine tipped to extreme angles may cause oil to gravitate
into the cylinder head making the engine start difficult.
(Gasoline powered engines)
■ NEVER transport the saw with the blade mounted.
Saw Maintenance (Cleaning)
■ ALWAYS clean the saw before maintenance or repair.
■ DO NOT use aggressive cleaners (i.e. containing solvents).
DO NOT use high pressure water jets, aggressive detergents
or solutions and liquids with a temperature exceeding 86 F.
Use a fluff-free cloth only.
■ Use a cloth which may be lightly moistened only for removing
dust and dirt. Hard packed dirt can be removed with a soft
brush.
■ NEVER let water, cleaning liquid or vapor penetrate into the
electric motor, connectors, plugs, and switches. When
cleaning cover all apertures or openings on all electrical
components.
■ ALWAYS use a soft, low-pressure water jet and a brush to
rinse dirt and incrustations away. Be particularly careful not
to spray water on sensitive parts of of the saw (e.g. electric
motor, ON/OFF switch). Clean the motor and ON/OFF switch
by wiping with a
moist cloth.
■ DO NOT rinse the bearings of the drive elements (gasoline
model only).
■ Ensure that the blade does not come into contact with
the ground or surface during transportation. DO NOT
drop the blade on ground or surface.
■ The engine governor is designed to permit maximum
engine speed in a no-load condition. Speeds that exceed
this limit may cause the blade to exceed the maximum
safe allowable speed.
■ Ensure that the blade is mounted for proper operating
direction.
