INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING
1. WARNING: Always turn the On/Off Trigger (25b) to its “OFF” position and unplug the
Electric Cord (23) from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, mainte-
nance, or cleaning. (See Figure E.)
2. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the Chain Saw. Check for
loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts
(i.e., Chain, 57), damaged electrical wiring, and any other condition that may affect
its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected
before further use.
Do not use damaged equipment.
3. UPON EVERY THREE HOURS OF USE, make sure the Chain (57) is adequately
lubricated and taut. If necessary, remove the Guide Bar (52) and Chain. Clean the
groove in the Guide Bar thoroughly and clean the Oil Port in the Front Cover (42) to
ensure that it is not blocked or obstructed, see Figure B. To maximize the life of the
Guide Bar, turn the Guide Bar over and then reinstall. (See Figures C and D.)
4. PERIODICALLY, remove the Carbon Brush Housing (6) to inspect the condition of
the Carbon Brush (4). If the Carbon Brush is simply dirty, you may carefully clean it
with a pencil eraser. The Carbon Brush has a wear limit marking on it. You may
safely use the Carbon Brush up to the wear limit. When it has worn up to the wear
limit, the Carbon Brush must be replaced. When replacing the Carbon Brush make
sure it fits neatly into its Carbon Brush Holder (5) and that the spring on the Carbon
Brush operates freely. Make sure the carbon portion of the Carbon Brush contacts
the Motor Armature (24). After inspection or replacement, replace the Carbon Brush
Housing. (See Figure E.)
5. TO CLEAN: Clean with a soft brush, cloth, or vacuum to remove debris from the
Cold Saw. If necessary, use a mild detergent or mild solvent. Then, use a premium
quality, lightweight machine oil to lubricate all moving parts.
6. If cutting efficiency diminshes, the included round file may be used to sharpen the
teeth of the chain. The chain should also be sharpened professionally at least once
a year, depending on use.
