SAFETY SYMBOLS

Tool operators and maintenance personnel must always comply with the safety precautions given in this

manual and on the stickers and tags attached to the tool and hose.

These safety precautions are given for your safety. Review them carefully before operating the tool and

before performing general maintenance or repairs.

Supervising personnel should develop additional precautions relating to the speciﬁc work area and local

safety regulations. If so, place the added precautions in the space provided on page 4.

This tool will provide safe and dependable service if operated in accordance with the instructions given in this

manual. Read and understand this manual and any stickers and tags attached to the tool and hoses before

operation. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.

• Establish a training program for all operators to ensure safe operation.

• The operator must be familiar with all prohibited work areas such as excessive slopes and dangerous terrain conditions.

• Do not operate the chain saw unless thoroughly trained or under the supervision of an instructor.

• Always wear safety equipment such as goggles, ear protection, breathing protection, head protection, leg protection, gloves, snug ﬁtting clothing

(do not operate the saw when wearing loose clothing) and safety shoes at all times when operating the chain saw.

• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times.

• Do not inspect or clean the chain saw while the hydraulic power source is connected.Accidental engagement of the chain saw can cause serious

injury.

• Always connect hoses to the chain saw hose couplers before energizing the hydraulic power source. Make sure all hose connections are tight.

• Do not operate the chain saw at ﬂuid temperatures above 140°F/60°C. Operation at higher temperatures can cause higher than normal tempera-

tures at the chain saw which can result in operator discomfort.

• Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into the chain saw.As a chain saw user, several steps must be taken to keep your cutting

jobs free from accident or injury:

1. With a basic understanding of kickbacks, you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.

2. Keep a good ﬁrm grip on the chain saw with both hands, the right hand on the rear handle and the left hand on the front handle when

operating the chain saw. Use a ﬁrm grip with thumbs and ﬁngers encircling the chain saw handles.A ﬁrm grip helps reduce kickbacks and

maintains control of the chain saw. Do not let go.

3. Make sure the area in which you are cutting is free of obstructions.

4. Cut at rated operating speeds (gpm).

5. Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.

6. Only use replacement bars and chains speciﬁed by Stanley or the equivalent.

• Make sure the chain guard is in place before operating the chain saw.

• Remove or control the water slurry to prevent yourself or others from slipping while cutting.

• Provide adequate ventilation in closed areas when operating a gas or diesel hydraulic power source.

To avoid serious injury or death

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Always be well rested and mentally alert before operating the chain saw.

• Do not allow bystanders near the chain saw when starting or cutting.

• Do not start cutting until you have a clear work area and secure footing.

• Keep all parts of the body away from the chain saw during operation.

• Carry the chain saw with the tool de energized and the bar and chain to the rear of your body.

• Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or not completely and securely assembled. Make sure the chain stops moving

when the control trigger is released.

• Keep the handle dry, clean and free of hydraulic ﬂuid.

• Do not use the chain saw near energized transmission lines.

• Turn off the power source or move the hydraulic control valve to neutral before setting the chain saw down.

• Use a guide bar scabbard when transporting the chain saw.

• Know the location of buried or covered electrical services before starting work.

• To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, all chain saw repair, maintenance and service must only be performed by authorized and prop-

erly trained personnel.

• Make sure the chain breaker and rivet spinner are securely mounted on ﬂat, clean work surfaces. Check the mounting screws/bolts often.

• Check all chain breaker and rivet spinner components regularly for wear and general condition.

• Provide adequate lighting when operating the saw in a darkened area or at night.

• Always keep critical tool markings, such as labels and warning stickers legible.Always replace stickers or decals that have become worn or dam-

aged.

• Be observant of hydraulic and water hoses that lay about the work area, especially in trenches where they can be hidden from view due to liquids

that have accumulated within the space.

• Keep all parts of the body away from the cleats that are attached to the saw, as these are sharp and can be a puncture hazard.

• Improper handling, use, or maintenance can result in an oil leak or burst. Do not contact an oil leak as high pressure oil can cause injection into

the body.

• Never stand in the path of the discharge, ejection of material from the work piece can cause personal injury.

• Never use the saw in a potentially explosive atmosphere.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

Exposure to crystalline Silica (sometimes called “silica dust”) as a result of

cutting, breaking, drilling, or hammering of rock, concrete, asphalt or other

materials may cause Silicosis (a serious lung disease), silicosis-related ill-

nesses, cancer, or death.

Respiratory protection is highly recommended when working with materials

containing Silica Dust.

Always wear a respirator approved for protection against crystalline silica.

HOSE TYPES

The rated working pressure of the hydraulic hose must be equal to or higher than the relief valve setting on the

hydraulic system. There are three types of hydraulic hose that meet this requirement and are authorized for use

with Stanley Hydraulic Tools. They are:

Certiﬁed non-conductive - constructed of thermoplastic or synthetic rubber inner tube, synthetic ﬁber

braid reinforcement, and weather resistant thermoplastic or synthetic rubber cover. Hose labeled certiﬁed non-

conductive is the only hose authorized for use near electrical conductors.

Wire-braided (conductive) - constructed of synthetic rubber inner tube, single or double wire braid rein-

forcement, and weather resistant synthetic rubber cover. This hose is conductive and must never be used near

electrical conductors.

Fabric-braided (not certiﬁed or labeled non-conductive) - constructed of thermoplastic or synthetic rubber

inner tube, synthetic ﬁber braid reinforcement, and weather resistant thermoplastic or synthetic rubber cover. This

hose is not certiﬁed non-conductive and must never be used near electrical conductors.

HOSE SAFETY TAGS

To help ensure your safety, the following DANGER tags are attached to all hose purchased from Stanley Hydrau-

lic Tools. DO NOT REMOVE THESE TAGS.

PREOPERATION PROCEDURES

CHECK THE POWER SOURCE

1. Using a calibrated ﬂow meter and pressure gauge, make sure the

hydraulic power source develops a ﬂow of 7-9 gpm/26-34 lpm at 2000

psi/140 bar.

2. Make certain that the power source is equipped with a relief valve set

to open at 2100-2250 psi/145-155 bar.

3. Make certain that the power source return pressure does not exceed

250 psi/17 bar.

CONNECT HYDRAULIC HOSES

1. Wipe all hose couplers with a clean lint-free cloth before making con-

nections. If necessary, use a light-weight penetrating oil in a spray can to

clean the hose couplers before each connection.

2. Connect the hoses from the hydraulic power source to the chain saw

ﬁttings or quick disconnects. It is a good practice to connect return hoes

ﬁrst and disconnect them last to minimize or avoid trapped pressure

within the chain saw.

3. Observe the arrow on the couplers to ensure that the ﬂow is in the

proper direction. The female coupler on the chain saw is the inlet (pres-

sure) coupler.

4. Move the hydraulic circuit control valve to the “ON” position to operate

the chain saw.

NOTE:

If uncoupled hoses are left in the sun, pressure in-

crease inside the hoses might make them difﬁcult to

connect. Whenever possible, connect the free ends of

the hoses together.

CONNECTING TO A WATER SUPPLY

1. Using a standard garden hose, connect the DS12 to a city or auxiliary

water supply.

2. If you plan on operating the chain saw in freezing weather, make sure

you purge all the water from the system after each use.

CHAIN TENSIONING AND BAR ADJUSTMENT

Aproperly tensioned chain will optimize cutting performance. The tension-

ing rule of thumb for the utility cutting chain saw is that a properly ten-

sioned chain must not be bowstring tight and can be pulled freely around

the guide bar by hand easily without binding. Caution should be used

when adjusting these chains as the bar rail can become very sharp. Lift

the chain away from the bar rail when rotating and use extreme caution.

Note: The chain on the utility saw is non-directional and may be in-

stalled to travel either direction.

PROPER CHAIN TENSION

Check the chain tension often during operation, especially during the ﬁrst

1/2 hour when using a new chain.Adjust the chain accordingly when it

becomes loose.

If the chain is too loose, it could come off the bar, or it will allow the drive

sprocket to spin without turning the chain, which can chew up the chain

drive links. If the chain is too tight, a lot of the saw’s power goes into turn-

ing the chain rather than into the cut. In extreme over-tightened cases,

the saw may not be able to turn the chain at all. In addition, damage can

occur to the bar nose and premature stretch may occur.

HOW TO CHECK

Before cutting, check for proper tension by pulling the chain around the

bar by hand. If you cannot easily pull by hand, the chain is too tight and

needs to be loosened.

OPERATION

WHEN TO TENSION

All chains have a tendency to stretch when used. Diamond chains

stretch more than wood cutting chains because of the abrasive materials

they are cutting. When a chain stretches to a point where the drive links

are hanging approximately 1/2 in-3/4 in (12-18 mm) below the bar, it’s

time to tension the chain.

HOW TO TENSION

To tension the chain, ﬁrst loosen the side cover nuts, then while holding

the nose of the bar up, use a screw driver to turn the tensioning screw

clockwise until the chain drive links hanging below the bar are just begin-

ning to enter the bar groove. Continue to hold up on the nose of the bar

and ﬁrmly tighten the side cover nuts, (20 ft-lbs, 27 Nm).And remember,

it’s the side cover nuts that hold the bar in position.

NOTE: MAKE SURE THE BARATTACHING NUTSARE FULLY

TIGHTENEDAND THE CHAIN GUARD IS IN PLACE.

HOW TO PREVENT CHAIN TENSIONER

BREAKAGE

Do not attempt to adjust the tensioner without ﬁrst loosening the side

cover nuts. Do not use the saw without making sure the side cover nuts

are tight. If the side cover nuts are not tight, the bar can slip backwards

during cutting and break the tensioner pin.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Utility chainsaws operate with looser chain tension than wood chain-

saws. It is common, on the utility chainsaw to have the drive links hang

completely out of the bar. Wood cutting chainsaws use oil to lubricate

the chain. The oil makes the chain very slippery and allows the drive

links to fully nest between the teeth of the drive sprocket. The utility

cutting chainsaws require water for cooling and ﬂushing the cut. Water is

not as good as oil as a lubricant.Also, there are cutting particles mixed

in with the water.As a result, sometimes the drive links do not nest

properly on the drive sprocket. When this happens, the chain acts like it

got tighter. There seems to be “tight” spots and “loose” spots as you pull

the chain around the bar. If you tension when the chain is in one of the

loose spots, it will be too tight at some point in it’s rotation around the

bar. Rotating the chain completely around the bar by hand will let you

know you have the chain properly tensioned.

ADDITIONAL TENSIONING TIPS

1. To reduce chain stretch and tensioning downtime, use 20 PSI (1.5

bar) or greater water pressure.

2. Oil the chain at the end of the day to prevent rust but be careful not to

over tension in this condition.

3. When pulling the chain around the bar by hand, be careful not to

touch the bar with thumb or foreﬁnger. The bar rails can be very

sharp. Using leather gloves grab only the diamond segments to pull

the chain.

4. Always turn the hydraulic power source off before tensioning the

chain.

OPERATION

CHECK THE WATER SUPPLY

1.Always have water running before starting the chain saw.

2. Recommended water ﬂow 4 gpm/15 lpm at 50 psi/3.5 bar (2-gp/7.5

lpm at 20-psi/1.3 bar minimum).

PRE-CUT CHECKLIST

• If using the clamp make sure it is securely fastened before attaching

the saw, tighten clamp nut with wrench.

• Proper Chain tension: Bottom tip of drive link hangs even with bottom

of bar.

• Ensure proper water ﬂow and hydraulic supply to power unit.

• Ensure cut can be made clear of dirt contact.

• Protective clothing/protection in place.

• Mark cut on pipe.

• Block pipe from shifting, support weight of pipe.

OPERATING PROCEDURES

NEW SAW CHAIN BREAK-IN

1.Always make sure the bar and sprocket are in good condition.

2. Turn on the water supply.

3. Operate the chain saw for two minutes (away from the intended cut)

and then check the chain tension.

4.Adjust accordingly using the procedures contained in Chain Tension-

ing and BarAdjustments section of this manual.

OPERATION

Chain and bar damage will occur if the chain saw

operates without the proper water supply.

CUTTING TIPS

If using pipe clamp (Applicable for 4”-12”, recommended for 8”-12”).

• Place clamp around top of pipe, hand tighten adjustment nut.

• Position saw on pipe for top down or bottom up (recommended) cut and

slide saw clamp mount through receiver hole at top of clamp, secure with

snap pin.

• Slide clamp/saw assembly around pipe to optimum cutting position and

tighten clamp nut with wrench.

• Ensure saw is positioned to allow handle to pivot during cut unobstruct-

ed, and ensure saw tip doesn’t contact dirt.

CUTTING FREE-HAND OR WITH PIPE CLAMP

• Position saw to avoid pinching the bar or chain as pipe is cut, support

pipe from top and side to prevent cut pipe from injuring operator.

• Hold saw so chain isn’t in contact with pipe, start water and activate saw

to recommended ﬂow rate, press chain against pipe slowly, apply pres-

sure to cut through pipe.

• Pressure can be applied to cut until saw starts to lug, if need be back off

on the cutting pressure to maintain a good cutting speed.

• If cut in a 12” pipe exceeds 5 minutes, cut pulls to one side, or diamond

coating is gone, chain may need replacement.

When the saw cut is complete be watchful of

sharp edges around the material that has been cut.

Before cutting make sure the material being cut

is properly supported from falling or shifting.

When exiting the cut, avoid applying high feed

loads as unexpected movement of the saw may

result. Using both hands, maintain ﬁrm control

of the tool throughout the entire cut.

TYPES OF CUTS

The DS12 can be operated not only using the pipe clamp but also make

free-hand cuts, any size pipe can be cut free hand.

Utility Chain Saw Cuts

• Ductile Iron Pipe • Rooﬁng Shingles

• Insituform Pipe Lining • CMU Concrete Block

• PVC Pipe • Non Reinforced Concrete

• Copper Pipe • Rooﬁng Tile

• Steel Rooﬁng Material • Lumber

• HDPE Pipe • Masonry

1. When using the pipe clamp with a 15-inch bar the cut capacity is 4” to

10”.

2. When using the pipe clamp with a 18-inch bar the cut capacity is 4” to

12”.

3. Do not use a cutting force in excess of 45 lbs/20 kg. Excessive force

causes the chain to slow down or stall and causes premature wear of the

saw bar and chain.

4.Always maintain a high chain speed. High chain speeds produce the

best results.

5.Avoid aggressive/heavy forces.Aggressive force can causes premature

bar and chain wear.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION

If the saw is to be used during cold weather, preheat the hydraulic ﬂuid at

low power source speed. When using the normally recommended ﬂuids,

ﬂuid should be at or above 50°F/10°C (400 ssu/82 centistokes) before

use.

Damage to the hydraulic system or chain saw can result from use with

ﬂuid that is too viscous or thick.

OPERATION

Top down Cut

Bottom up Cut

PLAN THE CUT

1. Plan your cuts to prevent injury to yourself and to keep from pinch-

ing the saw bar and chain as a result of falling pieces of iron pipe.

2. Outline the material being cut with a permanent marker for a visual

guide (especially when cutting free hand).

3. Know what kind of material you are cutting.

TOOL EQUIPMENT & CARE

• Make sure all couplers are wiped clean before connection.

• The hydraulic circuit control valve must be in the “OFF” position when coupling or uncoupling

hydraulic tools. Failure to do so may result in damage to the quick couplers and cause overheating

of the hydraulic system.

• Always store the tool in a clean dry space, safe from damage or pilferage.

• Make sure the circuit PRESSURE hose (with male quick disconnect) is connected to the “IN” port.

The circuit RETURN hose (with female quick disconnect) is connected to the opposite port. Do not

reverse circuit ﬂow. This can cause damage to internal seals.

• Always replace hoses, couplings and other parts with replacement parts recommended by Stanley

Hydraulic Tools. Supply hoses must have a minimum working pressure rating of 2500 psi/172 bar.

• Do not exceed the rated ﬂow (see Speciﬁcations) page in this manual for correct ﬂow rate and

model number. Rapid failure of the internal seals may result.

• Always keep critical tool markings, such as warning stickers and tags legible.

• Tool repair should be performed by experienced personnel only.

• Make certain that the recommended relief valves are installed in the pressure side of the system.

• Do not use the tool for applications for which it was not intended.

• Oil the chain at the end of the day to prevent rust but be careful not to over tension in this condition..
