Installing the battery pack
See page 12.
Insert the battery pack into the product. Align the raised ribs on the
battery pack with grooves in the product's battery port.
Make sure that the latch of the battery pack snaps in place and that
the battery pack is fully seated and secured in the product before
beginning operation.
Holding the chainsaw
See Fig. 1.
Always hold the product with the right hand on the rear handle and
the left hand on the front handle. Grip both handles with the thumbs
and fingers encircling the handles. Ensure that the left hand is holding
the front handle so that the thumb is underneath.
Starting the product
See page 12-13.
Install the battery pack in the product, and make sure the chain brake

handle.
To start the product, pull the trigger release, and then press the
throttle trigger.
Checking and operating the chain brake
See page 14.
Engage the chain brake by rotating your left hand around the front
handle. Allow the back of your hand to push the chain brake lever
towards the bar while the chain is rotating rapidly. Be sure to maintain
both hands on the saw handles at all times.
Reset the chain brake back into the RUN position by grasping the
top of the chain brake lever and pulling towards the front handle until
you hear a click.
WARNING! If the chain brake does not stop the chain
immediately, or if the chain brake does not stay in the run
position without assistance, bring the product to an authorised
service centre for repair before use.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Use only original manufacturer's replacement
parts, accessories, and attachments. Failure to do so can cause
possible injury, can contribute to poor performance, and may

personal injury.
■ You may only make adjustments or repairs described in this

■ Consequences of improper maintenance, removal, or modification
of safety features, such as the chain brake, ignition switch, hand
guard (front and back), spiked bumper, chain catcher, guide bar,
and low-kickback saw chain may cause the safety features not to
function correctly, thus increasing the potential for serious injury.
Keep the product professionally maintained and safe.

is replaced with a new one, available at your authorised service
centre. The part number is available in the product specification
