Keep cord away from cutting area. Make sure cord
does not catch on branches or logs during cutting.
Inspect cords often. Replace damaged cords.
The extension cord may come undone from the power

CUTTING WITH THE CHAIN SAW
1. Connect saw to extension cord. Connect exten-
sion cord to power supply.
2. Make sure section of log to be cut is not laying
on ground. This will keep chain from touching
ground as it cuts through log. Touching ground
with moving chain will dull chain.
