It is important that the saw is connected to a corresponding current, as described on the machines type tag.
If the cord is less than 25 meters the copper cross section must be minimum 1,5mm2.
If the cord is more than 25 meters the cross section must be minimum 2,5mm2. Note, however, that there may be national differences with regard to type of plug. Therefore,  check that the plug which is being used respects the demands of your country’s legislation concerning earth connection. A 16 Ampere fuse shall be used.
Motor brake
The electric motor is equipped with a motor brake which automatically shuts the motor off at overload.

Mounting

Assemble the log cutting saw as shown in illustrations 1-7:
Remove the log cutting saw from the box (Fig.1). Lift the machine with 2 people (Fig.2).
The log cutting saw is almost assembled finish from the factory and only needs a few steps to get fully assembled, see Fig. 3-7.

Operation

1. For correct use of the log cutting saw, see Fig. 8-13
2. It is important to have a clean working area. This is for your own safety. Make sure that the wood is easy to obtain and reach. There should also be good space to stack  the cut wood.
3. Gain good footing and carry all kinds of protection such as guard, safety goggles, ear protection and gloves
4. The saw is constructed so that it can saw maximum length of up to 1,5 meters.
5. Only one piece of wood must be layer on the saw at a time, regardless diameter (maximum diameter 120 mm)
6. The saw blade runs down for app. 10 seconds. The saw blade must not be braked by side back pressure. The engine makes a grumbling noise when braking and shortly after breaking. The switch must not be pressed (on or off) in any case in this phase. The engine may be started again only after there is no more grumble.

The log cutting saw is almost maintenance free.
Always store the log cutting saw in a dry area. Even though the saw has been treated for rust, it may start to rust when exposed to too much damp.
Always disconnect the current when adjusting, repairing or maintaining the Power Saw.

Replacing the blade:

1. Disconnect the current; open the protection shield, outer protection and front protection.
2. Use only a sharp and complete blade.
