cable, electrical power or telephone lines. Keep 10’’ (3 m) away
from all power lines (see Fig. J1-J4).
WARNING! Is the oil tank lled? Check the oil level prior to starting and regularly during operation. Rell oil when oil level is
low. Check recent replaced chain tension about every 10 minutes
during operation.
WARNING! Make sure section of log to be cut is not lying on the ground. This will keep the chain from touching the ground as
it cuts through the log. Touching the ground while the chain is
moving is dangerous and will dull the chain.
