SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To avoid seriou s injury or death
• 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 fi tting 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.
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 specifi c 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.
• 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 fl uid 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 fi rm 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 fi rm grip with thumbs and fi ngers encircling the chain saw handles. A fi rm 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 specifi ed 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.

Page 7
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 fl uid.
• 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 properly trained personnel.
• Make sure the chain breaker and rivet spinner are securely mounted on fl at, 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 damaged.
• 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.
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 illnesses, 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.

*SSU = Saybolt Seconds Universal
NOTE:
These are general hydraulic system requirements. See tool Specifi cation page for tool specifi c requirements.
1. Using a calibrated fl ow meter and pressure gauge, make sure the
hydraulic power source develops a fl ow 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 connections. 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
fi ttings or quick disconnects. It is a good practice to connect return hoes
fi rst 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 fl ow is in the
proper direction. The female coupler on the chain saw is the inlet (pressure) coupler.
CHAIN TENSIONING AND BAR ADJUSTMENT
A properly tensioned chain will optimize cutting performance. The tensioning rule of thumb for the utility cutting chain saw is that a properly tensioned 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 installed to travel either direction.
PROPER CHAIN TENSION
Check the chain tension often during operation, especially during the fi rst
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 turning 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.
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 increase inside the hoses might make them diffi cult 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.
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.
11
Page 13
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, fi rst 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 beginning to enter the bar groove. Continue to hold up on the nose of the bar
and fi rmly tighten the side cover nuts, (20 ft-lbs, 27 Nm). And remember,
it’s the side cover nuts that hold the bar in position.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Utility chainsaws operate with looser chain tension than wood chainsaws. 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 fl ushing 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.
NOTE: MAKE SURE THE BAR ATTACHING NUTS ARE FULLY
TIGHTENED AND THE CHAIN GUARD IS IN PLACE.
HOW TO PREVENT CHAIN TENSIONER
BREAKAGE
Do not attempt to adjust the tensioner without fi rst 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 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 forefi nger. 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.
12
Page 14
OPERATION
CHECK THE WATER SUPPLY
Chain and bar damage will occur if the chain saw
operates without the proper water supply.
1. Always have water running before starting the chain saw.
2. Recommended water fl ow 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 fl ow 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.
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 unobstructed, and ensure saw tip doesn’t contact dirt.
When the saw cut is complete be watchful of
sharp edges around the material that has been cut.
CUTTING FREE-HAND OR WITH PIPE CLAMP
Before cutting make sure the material being cut
is properly supported from falling or shifting.
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 Tensioning and Bar Adjustments section of this manual.
When exiting the cut, avoid applying high feed
loads as unexpected movement of the saw may
result. Using both hands, maintain fi rm control
of the tool throughout the entire cut.
• 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 fl ow 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.

OPERATION
PLAN THE CUT
1. Plan your cuts to prevent injury to yourself and to keep from pinching 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.
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 • Roofi ng Shingles
• Insituform Pipe Lining • CMU Concrete Block
• PVC Pipe • Non Reinforced Concrete
• Copper Pipe • Roofi ng Tile
• Steel Roofi ng Material • Lumber
• HDPE Pipe • Masonry
Top down Cut
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 fl uid at
low power source speed. When using the normally recommended fl uids, fl uid should be at or above 50°F/10°C (400 ssu/82 centistokes) before
use.
Bottom up Cut
Damage to the hydraulic system or chain saw can result from use with
fl uid that is too viscous or thick.

TOOL EQUIPMENT & CARE
NOTICE
In addition to the Safety
Precautions on page in this
manual, observe the following for
equipment protection and 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 fl ow. 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 fl ow (see Specifi cations) page in this manual for correct fl ow 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..

Utility Saw Clamp
Instruction Sheet
A potentially hazardous situation exists which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury
Before cutting, make sure the pipe is in a safe condition to be cut. Support the work piece in such a way that the
cut remains open during the cutting operation and when the cut is fi nished. Pinching the chain during the cut could
cause chain breakage and could result in death or serious injury to the operator.
If using the pipe clamp accessory, the clamp must be attached in such a way that it does not move during the cutting operation and/or when the cut is fi nished. Unexpected movement of the clamp could cause loss of control of
the saw and could result in death or serious injury to the operator.
CLAMP and SAW INSTALLATION
STEP 1
Attach the axle to the saw:
Remove the two nuts and washers that secure the chain guard to the saw and install the axle over the chain guard,
then re-install the two nuts and washers. Note: This is a good time to check the chain tension on your saw (see the
DS12 user manual for proper chain tension).
STEP 2
Place the clamp around top of the pipe. Hand tighten the adjustment nut.
STEP 3
Position the saw with the attached axle on the pipe clamp by sliding the saw clamp axle through the receiver hole at
top of the clamp. Secure with a snap pin.
STEP 4
Ensure that the saw is positioned to allow the handle to pivot during the cut unobstructed and to ensure that the saw
tip doesn’t contact dirt. If necessary, reposition the saw clamp/saw assembly around the pipe to optimum cutting position.
STEP 5
CUTTING TIPS
Position the saw to avoid pinching the blade or the chain as the pipe is cut. Support both ends of the pipe to prevent
movement and possible injury to the operator.
• Hold the saw so that the chain isn’t in contact with the pipe. Start the water and activate the saw to full power.
Press the chain against the pipe slowly, applying pressure to cut through the pipe.
• Pressure can be applied to the cut until the saw motor starts to lug.
AFTER CUTTING
When fi nished cutting, be sure to remove the saw fi rst, and then the clamp.
