  • Page 5 WARNING: The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job.

  • Page 9 Work Area Safety • Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. • Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. •...
  • Page 10 Personal Safety • Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
  • Page 11 Power Tool Use and Care • Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. • Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
  • Page 12 Service • Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Product Safety Warnings Chain Saw Safety Warnings: • Use the tool only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs will increase the risk of injury and fire.
  • Page 13 • Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder, from a rooftop, or any unstable support. Operation of a chain saw in this manner could result in serious personal injury. • Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when standing on fixed, secure and level surface.
  • Page 14 • Follow all instructions when clearing jammed material, storing or servicing the chain saw. Make sure the switch is off and the battery pack is removed. Unexpected actuation of the chain saw while clearing jammed material or servicing may result in serious personal injury.
  • Page 15 • 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 guide bars and saw chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
  • Page 16 Save These Instructions: Instructions concerning the proper techniques for basic felling, limbing, and cross-cutting. 1. Felling a tree When bucking and felling operations are being performed by two or more persons at the same time, the felling operations should be separated from the bucking operation by a distance of at least twice the height of the tree being felled.
  • Page 17 3. Felling back cut Make the felling back cut (Y) at least 50 mm higher than the horizontal notching cut as illustrated in Figure 1. Keep the felling back cut parallel to the horizontal notching cut. 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.
  • Page 18 4. Limbing a tree 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 as illustrated in Figure 2. Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the chain saw.
  • Page 19 When the log is supported on one end, as illustrated in Figure 4, cut 1/3 the diameter from the underside (underbuck) (1). Then make the finished cut by overbucking (2) to meet the first cut. Figure 4 When the log is supported on both ends, as illustrated in Figure 5, cut 1/3 the diameter from the top (overbuck) (1).
  • Page 20 When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the log, as illustrated in Figure 6. When “cutting through”, to maintain complete control release the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the chain saw handles. Don’t let the chain contact the ground.
  • Page 21 When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
  • Page 22 • Recharge only with the charger specified by manufacturer. Do not use any charger other than that specifically provided for use with the equipment. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
  • Page 23 • Do not abuse the cord of charger. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the charger. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. •...
  • Page 24 • This charger can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

If kink occurs, pick up on the chain at the guide bar just ahead of the kink and then pull the kink out. NOTE: Chain should rotate freely and be free of kinks.
  • Page 29 8) Rotate the chain quick tensioning dial (13) clockwise until it is firmly tightened. tighten 2. Tensioning chain and bar NOTE: New saw chains will stretch slightly. Check the chain tension frequently when first used and tighten when the chain becomes loose around the guide bar. The tension is correct when the chain snaps back after being pulled 3 mm away from the guide bar (9) with light force from the index finger and thumb as shown in Figure below.
  • Page 30 3. Lubrication IMPORTANT: The chain saw is not filled with oil. It is essential to fill with oil before use. Never operate the chain saw without chain oil or at an empty oil tank level, as this will result in extensive damage to the product. NOTE: Chain life and cutting capacity depend on optimum lubrication.
  • Page 31 4) Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, refit oil filler cap (8) and tighten by turning clockwise. IMPORTANT: To allow venting of the oil tank, small breather channels are provided between the oil filler cap and the strainer, to prevent leakage, and ensure machine is left in a horizontal position when not in use.

  • Page 37: Care And Cleaning

    CARE AND CLEANING Follow maintenance instructions in this manual. Proper cleaning of saw and chain and guide bar maintenance can reduce chances of kickback. Inspect and maintain saw after each use. This will increase the service life of your saw. NOTE: Even with proper sharpening, risk of kickback can increase with each sharpening.
  • Page 38 Conditions which require chain and guide bar maintenance: • Saw cuts to one side or at an angle. • Saw has to be forced through the cut. • Inadequate supply of oil to the bar and chain. Check the condition of the guide bar each time the chain is sharpened. A worn guide bar will damage the chain and make cutting difficult.
  • Page 39 6. Lubricate sprocket WARNING: Wear heavy duty gloves when performing any maintenance or service to this tool. Always remove the battery pack before performing any service or maintenance on this tool. NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the chain or bar when lubricating the guide bar sprocket. 1) Clean the bar and sprocket 2) Using a grease gun, insert the tip of the gun into the lubrication hole (t) and inject grease until it appears at the outside edge of the sprocket tip.
