This saw is part of the First-Cut line of True Early Entry™ products. It features a 14' blade capacity and is gasoline powered. With a maximum cutting depth of 3-1/2' using a 14' blade, it can handle blades from .110' to .250' thick. The self-propelled drive and heavy-duty handle design make it easy to operate. Self-aligning blade shaft bearings ensure smooth performance. An easy-access battery with a heavy-duty isolator switch prevents power drain. The up-cut design keeps debris from re-entering the cut, and a lifting hook allows for easy transport. Specifications include a blade shaft RPM of 3,500, a 1-1/4' blade shaft diameter, a 1' arbor size with a single drive pin, an electric actuator for blade raise/lower, an Eaton Model 6 transmission, a drive speed of 0 - 80 feet per minute, adjustable handle bars, and it comes with an electric start, low oil alert, and tach/hour meter.
Using this saw is straightforward. First, make sure the battery is properly connected and the isolator switch is on. Start the saw using the electric start feature. Adjust the handle bars to a comfortable position for you. You can control the blade's height with the electric actuator. When cutting, the self-propelled drive will move the saw forward, but you can also guide it as needed. Remember to check the oil level regularly and pay attention to the low oil alert. For maintenance, keep the blade clean and sharp. Check the blade shaft bearings and the transmission periodically. When transporting the saw, use the lifting hook for easy handling. And always turn off the isolator switch when not in use to prevent power drain.
