Tämä käyttöopas sisältää englanniksi laaditun käyttöoppaan käännöksen, ja sen tarkoituksena on toimia ohjekirjana niille, joiden äidinkieli ei ole englanti. Koska kyseessä on tekninen teksti, joillain sen sisältämillä käsitteillä ei ehkä ole täysin vastaavaa termiä käännöksessä. Sen vuoksi tähän käännökseen ei pidä luottaa sataprosenttisesti, vaan apuna tulee käyttää myös englanninkielistä versiota, mikäli pelkkiin käännettyihin ohjeisiin luottaminen voi aiheuttaa henkilö- tai omaisuusvahinkoja.

OREGON® Cordless Tool System CHAIN SAW MODEL CS300

SAFETY RULES

AA 1214 - F/N 573424

CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF KICKBACK

Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.

Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator.

Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.

Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/ or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

• Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles, with both hands on the saw and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.

Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.

• Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. This helps prevent

unintended tip contact and enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected situations.

• Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect

replacement bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.

• Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge

height can lead to increased kickback.

KICKBACK SAFETY DEVICES ON THIS SAW

DANGER: NEVER MODIFY OR ATTEMPT TO DISABLE THE CHAIN BRAKE.

DANGER: ONLY USE REPLACEMENT BARS AND CHAINS SPECIFIED BY OREGON®. Incorrect replacement bars

and chains may cause chain breakage and increased risk of kickback injury.

CHAIN BRAKE

This chain saw comes equipped with a chain brake, which stops both the motor and the motion of the chain when kickback occurs (Fig. ). The chain brake can be activated by the forward motion of the front hand guard as the saw rotates backward during kickback; it can also be activated by the inertial forces generated from a kickback event.

CHAIN

This saw comes equipped with a saw chain that met the reduced kickback requirements of ANSI B. when tested on a representative sample of chain saws. For replacement chain, see “Specifications and Components” in this manual.

FIG. 5

OREGON® Cordless Tool System

CHAIN SAW MODEL CS300

SAFETY RULES

AA 1214 - F/N 573424

BAR

This saw comes equipped with a reduced kickback guide bar that has a small radius nose. Smaller radius noses have less potential for kickback than a bar of the same size with a larger nose radius.

When replacing the bar, only order the bar listed in this manual to maintain low kickback performance.

FILLING THE BAR AND CHAIN OIL RESERVOIR

IMPORTANT: BAR AND CHAIN OIL PREVENTS PREMATURE WEAR. NEVER OPERATE THE CHAIN SAW IF OIL IS NOT VISIBLE. CHECK OIL LEVEL FREQUENTLY AND FILL AS NEEDED.

Bar and chain oil is required to properly lubricate the guide bar and saw chain. The chain saw is equipped with an automatic oiler that deposits oil on the bar and chain when running, keeping them properly lubricated. Use OREGON® bar and chain oil for best results. It is specially designed to provide low friction and faster cuts. NEVER use oil or other lubricants not specifically designed for use on the bar and chain. This can lead to a clogged oil system, which may cause premature wear of the bar and chain.

Place the chain saw on its side on a firm, flat surface, so that the oil cap is on top (Fig. ).

• Clean any debris from the cap area.

• Remove the cap.

• Carefully pour the bar and chain oil into

the reservoir.

• Replace the cap and make sure oil is

visible in the reservoir.

If oil is not visible in the reservoir, additional bar and chain oil is necessary.

PRIMING THE OILER

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, NEVER RUN THE CHAIN SAW WITHOUT THE SIDE COVER.

CAUTION: KEEP HANDS, CLOTHING, AND HAIR AWAY FROM THE DRIVE SPROCKET WHEN PRIMING THE OILER.

If this is the first time filling the bar and chain oil reservoir, or if the chain saw has been stored for a long period of time without use, prime the oiler.

• Tighten the chain tensioning ring until the lowest cutters underneath the bar contact the bar rail (Fig. ).

• Saw chain tension is correct when, with some effort, a gloved hand can pull the chain smoothly around the bar. The chain should touch the underside of the bar rail (Fig. ).

• Tighten the side cover release knob.

• After a short period of use, allow the chain to cool, remove the battery and check the tension again. Watch tension carefully for the first half-hour of use and periodically throughout the life of the chain readjusting as required when the chain and bar are cool to the touch. Never tension chain when it is hot.

Chain will stretch as a result of normal use, however, insufficient oil, aggressive use or failure to perform recommended maintenance can lead to premature stretching.

TESTING THE CHAIN BRAKE

Make sure the chain brake is working before using the chain saw. To check brake operation:

• Place the saw on a firm, flat surface.

• Start the saw briefly.

• Keep the left hand on the front handle and roll the left wrist to move the front hand guard forward to manually activate the chain brake (Fig. ).

• Release the trigger switch.

A properly functioning chain brake stops the motor and saw chain immediately. If the motor and saw chain do not stop immediately, have the chain brake checked at an approved service location.

• Return the front hand guard to operating position.

CUTTING

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, WEAR PROPER BOOTS, LONG PANTS, GLOVES, HEAD, EAR AND EYE PROTECTION.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, ALWAYS BE SURE OF FOOTING AND HOLD THE CHAIN SAW FIRMLY WITH BOTH HANDS WHILE THE MOTOR IS RUNNING.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, PLAN AHEAD AND PLAN MULTIPLE ESCAPE PATHS BEFORE BEGINNING WORK.

CAUTION: ESTABLISH A BYSTANDER SAFETY ZONE OF 6 M (20 FT) PRIOR TO OPERATION OF THIS EQUIPMENT. Bystander safety zone is a

minimum 6 m (20 ft) circle around the operator that must remain free from bystanders, children and pets (Fig. 29). Felling operations require a larger safety zone according to the size of the tree, see “Felling a Tree” section.

IMPORTANT: PRACTICE CUTTING LOGS ON A SAWHORSE OR CRADLE UNTIL YOU BECOME COMFORTABLE OPERATING THE SAW.

To get the best performance and operate the saw safely, follow these instructions:

• Observe all applicable national and

municipal rules and regulations for cutting.

• Take frequent breaks to reduce the risk

of injury.

• Before beginning to cut, make sure the

saw chain is properly tensioned and the chain is sharp.

CHAIN SAW MODEL CS300

OPERATING THE SAW

AA 1214 - F/N 573424

Saw chains are made to cut wood only. Do not use the chain saw to cut any other materials, and do not allow the chain to come into contact with dirt, stones, nails, staples or wire. These materials are extremely abrasive and will wear away protective plating from the chain in a very short time.

Sharpen or replace the saw chain if any of these conditions occur:

• The pressure required to make cuts increases noticeably.

• Wood chips coming off of the chain are very fine or dust-like.

Do not work with a dull chain as it will increase the effort required to cut, cause jagged cuts, increase wear on the chain saw and increase the risk of kickback. Never force a dull chain to cut.

• Assume the proper cutting grip and stance in front of the wood with the saw turned off. Press the trigger lock-out and squeeze the trigger switch. Let the chain reach full speed before beginning the cut.

• Begin cutting by lightly pressing the guide bar against the wood. Use only light pressure and let the saw do the work.

• Maintain a steady speed throughout the cut releasing pressure just before the end of the cut.

• Know the location of the tip of the bar at all times and avoid contact with other objects.

• If the saw stops suddenly when cutting, remove the saw from the cut, then resume cutting using lighter pressure on the work piece.

PRUNING

CAUTION: FALLING LIMBS MAY BOUNCE OR “SPRING BACK” AFTER THEY HIT THE GROUND SO IT IS ESSENTIAL TO KEEP THE GROUND CLEAR TO PROVIDE MULTIPLE RETREAT PATHS. Clear the work area and

wear head protection.

Pruning is removing dead or overgrown branches to maintain plant health.

• Plan retreat paths before beginning

to cut, and make sure there are no obstructions. Always know how to get out of the way of falling branches.

• Make sure bystanders or helpers are

a safe distance from falling branches. Bystanders or helpers should not stand directly in front of or behind the operator. See Fig. .

• Maintain solid footing and hold the

chain saw firmly with both hands. Do not overreach. Never climb a tree or ladder to reach high limbs.

• Secure any branches that might be

hazardous.

• Use proper auxiliary equipment.

• Prune lower limbs before pruning

higher ones.

• Allow the saw chain to achieve full

speed before cutting.

• Apply light pressure to the branch.

• For long limbs (Fig. ), cut the end of the

limb first () to relieve pressure from the limb, then prune closer to the trunk ().

• Thick limbs (greater than  cm ( inch) in diameter) can splinter or pinch the chain when making a single cut from the top. To avoid pinching or splintering, first make one shallow relief cut on the bottom surface of the limb (), then cut the limb all of the way through from the top of the limb () to match the bottom cut (Fig. ).

• After most of the limb has been removed, make one smooth cut near the trunk (Fig. ).

FELLING A TREE

CAUTION: A TREE IS LIKELY TO ROLL OR SLIDE DOWNHILL AFTER IT IS FELLED. Plan and clear a retreat path

before cuts are started. The retreat path should extend back and diagonally to the rear of the expected line of fall (Fig. 33).

Felling is cutting down a tree.

• Before felling is started, consider the

natural lean of the tree, the location of larger branches and the wind direction to judge which way the tree will fall.

• Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails,

staples and wire from the tree where felling cuts are to be made.

• When bucking and felling operations

are being performed by two or more persons at the same time, separate the felling operation from the bucking operation by a distance of at least twice the height of the tree being felled.

• Trees should not be felled in a manner

that would endanger any person, strike any utility line or cause any property damage. If the tree contacts any utility line, immediately leave the area and notify the utility company.

• Use the metal spikes on the front of the

saw to support the saw on the wood. Set metal spiked bumper into the wood and use as a leverage point to increase stability when cutting large diameter wood.

NOTCHING UNDERCUT

• First, make the notch / the diameter of the tree perpendicular to the direction of fall. Make the lower horizontal notching undercut first (). This will help to avoid pinching of either the saw chain or the guide bar when the second cut () is being made (Fig. ).

FELLING BACK CUT

• Second, make the felling back cut at least  mm ( in) higher than the horizontal notching undercut (Fig. ). Keep the felling back cut parallel to the horizontal notching undercut.

• Make the felling back cut so enough wood is left to act as a hinge. The hinge wood keeps the tree from twisting and falling in the wrong direction. Do not cut through the hinge.

• As the felling cut gets close to the hinge, the tree should begin to fall.

• If there is any chance that the tree may not fall in the desired direction or it may rock back and bind the saw chain, stop cutting before the felling back cut is complete and use wedges of wood, plastic or aluminium to open the cut and drop the tree along the desired line of fall.

• When the tree begins to fall, remove the chain saw from the cut, stop the motor, put the chain saw down, then use the retreat path planned.

• Be alert for overhead limbs falling and watch footing.

LIMBING A TREE

CAUTION: LIMBS UNDER TENSION CAN “SPRING BACK” AND CONTACT THE OPERATOR OR THROW THE CHAIN SAW OUT OF CONTROL RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY.

Always be alert for wood under tension which may strike the operator or chain saw when cut.

Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen tree.

• When limbing, leave larger lower limbs

to support the log off the ground.

• Remove the small limbs in one cut.

• Branches under tension should be cut

from the bottom up to avoid binding the chain saw (Fig. ).
