CHAINSAW SAFETY WARNINGS
Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when
operating the product. Before you start the chainsaw, make
sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of
inattention while operating chainsaws may cause entanglement of
your clothing or body with the saw chain.
Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the rear
handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding the
chainsaw with a reversed hand conguration increases the risk of
personal injury and should never be done.
Hold the product by the insulated gripping surface only,
because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring. Saw chains
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective
equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is recommended.
Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by ying
debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.

CHAINSAW SAFETY WARNINGS
Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when
operating the product. Before you start the chainsaw, make
sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of
inattention while operating chainsaws may cause entanglement of
your clothing or body with the saw chain.
Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the rear
handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding the
chainsaw with a reversed hand conguration increases the risk of
personal injury and should never be done.
Hold the product by the insulated gripping surface only,
because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring. Saw chains
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective
equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is recommended.
Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by ying
debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree. Operation of a chainsaw
while up in a tree may result in personal injury.
Always keep proper footing and operate the chainsaw only
when standing on xed, secure and level surface. Slippery or
unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or
control of the chainsaw.
When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring
back. When the tension in the wood bres is released the spring
loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the chainsaw out
of control.
Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The
slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward
you or pull you off balance.
Carry the chainsaw by the front handle with the chainsaw
switched off and away from your body. When transporting
or storing the chainsaw always t the guide bar cover. Proper
handling of the chainsaw will reduce the likelihood of accidental
contact with the moving saw chain.
Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and
changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain
may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy,
oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.

INSTRUCTIONS CONCERNING THE PROPER TECHNIQUES
FOR BASIC FELLING, LIMBING, AND CROSS-CUTTING
Understanding the forces within the wood
When you understand the directional pressures and stresses inside
the wood you can reduce the “pinches” or at least expect them
during your cutting. Tension in the wood means the bers are being
pulled apart and if you cut in this area, the “kerf” or cut will tend to
open as the saw goes through. If a log is being supported on a saw
horse and the end is hanging unsupported over the end, tension is
created on the upper surface due to the weight of the overhanging
log stretching the bers. Likewise, the underside of the log will be
in compression and the bers are being pushed together. If a cut is
made in this area, the kerf will have the tendency to close up during
the cut. This would pinch the blade.
Felling a tree
See figures 1 - 8.
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. Trees should not be felled in a
manner that would endanger any person, strike any utility line, or
cause any property damage. If the tree does make contact with any
utility line, the company should be notied immediately.
The chainsaw operator should keep on the uphill side of the terrain
as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after it is felled.
An escape path should be planned and cleared as necessary
before cuts are started. The escape path should extend back and
diagonally to the rear of the expected line of fall.
Before felling starts, consider the natural lean of the tree, the
location of larger branches, and the wind direction to judge which
way the tree will fall.
Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples, and wire from the
tree.
Do not attempt to fell trees which are rotten or have been damaged
by wind, re, lightning, etc. This is extremely dangerous and should
only be completed by professional tree surgeons.
1. Notching undercut
See figures 1 - 6.
Make the notch 1/3 the diameter of the tree, perpendicular to
the direction of the fall. Make the lower horizontal notching cut
first. This will help to avoid pinching either the saw chain or the
guide bar when the second notch is being made.
2. Felling-back cut
See figures 1 - 6.
Make the felling-back cut at least 50 mm/2 in. higher than the
horizontal notching cut. Keep the felling-back cut parallel to the
horizontal notching cut. Make the felling back cut so enough
intended. For example: do not use chainsaw for cutting plastic,
masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the chainsaw
for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches
an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain
in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction,
kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the
guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw
which could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively
upon the safety devices built into your saw. As a chainsaw user,
you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from
accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below:
Maintain a rm grip, with thumbs and ngers encircling the
chainsaw handles, with both hands on the saw and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper
precautions are taken. Do not let go of the chainsaw.
Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. This
helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better control of
the chainsaw in unexpected situations.
Only use replacement bars and chains specied by the
manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains may cause
chain breakage and/or kickback.
Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge
height can lead to increased kickback.
ADDITIONAL CHAINSAW SAFETY WARNINGS
It is recommended to cut logs on a saw-horse or cradle when
operating the product for the rst time.
Ensure all guards, handles, and spiked bumper are properly tted
and are in good condition.
Persons using the product should be in good health. The product
is heavy, so the operator must be physically t. The operator
should be alert, have a good vision, mobility, balance, and manual
dexterity. If there is any doubt, do not operate the product.
Do not start using the product until you have a clear work area,
secure footing, and a planned retreat path away from a falling tree.
Beware of the emission of lubricant mist and saw dust. Wear a
mask or respirator, if required.
Do not cut vines and/or small undergrowth (less than 75 mm in
diameter).
Always hold the chainsaw with both hands during operation. Use a
rm grip with thumbs and ngers encircling the chainsaw handles.
Right hand must be on the rear handle and left hand on the front
handle.
Before starting the product, make sure the saw chain is not
contacting any object.
Do not modify the product in any way or use it to power any
attachments or devices not recommended by the manufacturer for
your saw.
There should be a rst-aid kit containing large wound dressings and
a means to summon attention (e.g., whistle) close to the operator. A
larger more comprehensive kit should be reasonably nearby.
Wear a helmet at all times when operating the product. A helmet,
equipped with mesh visor, can help reduce the risk of injury to the
face and the head if kickback occurs.
An incorrectly tensioned chain can jump off the guide bar and could
result in serious injury or fatality. The length of the chain depends
on the temperature. Check the tension frequently.
You should get used to your new chainsaw by making simple
cuts on securely supported wood. Do this whenever you have not
operated the saw for some time.
To reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting moving parts,
always stop the motor, apply the chain brake, remove the battery
pack and make sure all moving parts have come to a stop before:
■ cleaning or clearing a blockage
■ leaving the product unattended
■ installing or removing attachments
■ checking, conducting maintenance or working on the product
The size of the work area depends on the job being performed as
well as the size of the tree or work piece involved. For example,
felling a tree requires a larger work area than making other cuts, i.e.,
bucking cuts, etc. The operator needs to be aware and in control of
everything happening in the work area.
Do not cut with your body in line with the guide bar and chain. If you
experience kickback, this will help prevent the chain coming into
contact with your head or body.
Do not use a back-and-forward sawing motion, let the chain do the
work. Keep the chain sharp and do not try to push the chain through
the cut.
Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of the cut. Be ready to
take on the weight of the saw as it cuts free from the wood. Failure
to do so could result in possible serious personal injury.
Do not stop the saw in the middle of a cutting operation. Keep the
saw running until it is already removed from the cut.
Push and pull
See figure 9.
The reaction force is always opposite to the direction the chain is
moving. Thus, the operator must be ready to control the tendency
for the product to pull away (forward motion) when cutting on the
bottom edge of the bar and the push backwards (towards the
operator) when cutting along the top edge.
Saw jammed in the cut
Stop the chainsaw and make it safe. Do not try to force the chain
and bar out of the cut as this is likely to break the chain, which may
swing back and strike the operator. This situation normally occurs
because the wood is incorrectly supported which forces the cut to
close under compression, thereby pinching the blade. If adjusting
the support does not release the bar and chain, use wooden
wedges or a lever to open the cut and release the saw. Never try
to start the chainsaw when the guide bar is already in a cut or kerf.
Personal protective equipment
See page 23.
Good quality, personal protective equipment as used by
professionals will help to reduce the risk of injury to the operator.
The following items should be used when operating your chainsaw:
Safety helmet
– should comply with EN 397 and be CE marked
Hearing protection
– should comply with EN 352-1 and be CE marked
Eye and face protection
– should be CE marked and comply with EN 166 (for safety
glasses) or EN 1731 (for mesh visors)
26
26
Gloves
– should comply with EN381-7 and be CE marked
Leg protection (chaps)
– should comply with EN381-5, be CE marked and provide
all-round protection.
Chainsaw safety boots
– should comply with EN ISO 20345:2004 and be marked
with a shield depicting a chainsaw to show compliance with
EN 381-3. (Occasional users may use steel toe-cap safety
boots with protective gaiters which conform to EN 381-9
if the ground is even and there is little risk of tripping or
catching on undergrowth)
Chainsaw jackets for upper body protection
– should comply with EN 381-11 and be CE marked
INSTRUCTIONS CONCERNING THE PROPER TECHNIQUES
FOR BASIC FELLING, LIMBING, AND CROSS-CUTTING
Understanding the forces within the wood
When you understand the directional pressures and stresses inside
the wood you can reduce the “pinches” or at least expect them
during your cutting. Tension in the wood means the bers are being
pulled apart and if you cut in this area, the “kerf” or cut will tend to

log stretching the bers. Likewise, the underside of the log will be
in compression and the bers are being pushed together. If a cut is
made in this area, the kerf will have the tendency to close up during
the cut. This would pinch the blade.
Felling a tree
See figures 1 - 8.
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. Trees should not be felled in a
manner that would endanger any person, strike any utility line, or
cause any property damage. If the tree does make contact with any
utility line, the company should be notied immediately.
The chainsaw operator should keep on the uphill side of the terrain
as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after it is felled.
An escape path should be planned and cleared as necessary
before cuts are started. The escape path should extend back and
diagonally to the rear of the expected line of fall.
Before felling starts, consider the natural lean of the tree, the
location of larger branches, and the wind direction to judge which
way the tree will fall.
Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples, and wire from the
tree.
Do not attempt to fell trees which are rotten or have been damaged
by wind, re, lightning, etc. This is extremely dangerous and should
only be completed by professional tree surgeons.
1. Notching undercut
See figures 1 - 6.
Make the notch 1/3 the diameter of the tree, perpendicular to
the direction of the fall. Make the lower horizontal notching cut
first. This will help to avoid pinching either the saw chain or the
guide bar when the second notch is being made.
2. Felling-back cut
See figures 1 - 6.
Make the felling-back cut at least 50 mm/2 in. higher than the
horizontal notching cut. 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. Do not cut
through the hinge.
As the felling gets close to the hinge, the tree should begin
to fall. If there is any chance that the tree may not fall in the
desired direction or it may rock back and bind the saw chain,
stop cutting before the felling-back cut is complete and use
wedges of wood, plastic or aluminium to open the cut and drop
the tree along the desired line of fall.
When the tree begins to fall remove the chainsaw from the cut,
stop the motor, put the chainsaw down, and use the retreat path
planned. Be alert for falling overhead limbs and watch your
footing.
Removing buttress roots
See figures 7 - 8.
A buttress root is a large root extending from the trunk of the tree
above the ground. Remove large buttress roots prior to felling.
Make the horizontal cut into the buttress rst, followed by the
vertical cut. Remove the resulting loose section from the work area.
Follow the correct tree felling procedure after you have removed the
large buttress roots.
Bucking a log
See figures 9 - 11.
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to make sure
your footing is rm and your weight is evenly distributed on both
feet. When possible, the log should be raised and supported by the
use of limbs, logs or chocks. Follow the simple directions for easy
cutting. When the log is supported along its entire length, it is cut
from the top (overbuck).
When the log is supported on one end, cut 1/3 the diameter from the
underside (underbuck). Then make the nished cut by overbucking
to meet the rst cut.
When the log is supported on both ends, cut 1/3 the diameter from
the top (overbuck). Then make the nished cut by underbucking the
lower 2/3 to meet the rst cut.
When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the
log. To maintain control when “cutting through”, release the cutting
pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the
chainsaw handles. Don’t let the chain contact the ground. After
completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you move
the chainsaw. Always stop the motor before moving from tree to
tree.
Limbing a tree
See figures 12 - 13.
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. Branches under tension should be cut
from the bottom up to avoid binding the chainsaw.
Springpoles
See figure 14.
A springpole is any log, branch, rooted stump, or sapling which is
bent under tension by other wood so that it springs back if the wood
holding it is cut or removed.
On a fallen tree, a rooted stump has a high potential of springing
back to the upright position during the bucking cut to separate the
log from the stump. Watch out for springpoles—they are dangerous.
WARNING! Springpoles are dangerous and could strike the
operator, causing the operator to lose control of the chainsaw.
This could result in severe or fatal injury to the operator. This
should be done by trained users.

SAFETY DEVICES
Low kick-back saw chain
A low-kick-back saw chain helps to reduce the possibility of a
kickback event.
The rakers (depth gauges) ahead of each cutter can minimize
the force of a kick-back reaction by preventing the cutters from
digging in too deeply. Only use replacement guide bar and chain
combinations recommended by the manufacturer.
As saw chains are sharpened, they lose some of the low kickback
qualities and extra caution is required. For your safety, replace saw
chains when cutting performance decreases.
Spiked bumper
The integral bumper spike may be used as a pivot when making a
cut. It helps to keep the body of the chainsaw steady while cutting.
When cutting, push the machine forward until the spikes dig into
the edge of the wood, then by moving the rear handle up or down
in the direction of the cutting line it can help ease the physical strain
of cutting.
Guide bars
Generally, guide bars with small radius tips have somewhat lower
potential for kick-back. You should use a guide bar and matching
chain which is just long enough for the job. Longer bars increase
the risk of loss of control during sawing. Regularly check the chain
tension. When cutting smaller branches (less than the full length of
the guide bar) the chain is more likely to be thrown off if the tension
is not correct.
Chain brake
Chain brakes are designed to quickly stop the chain from rotating.
When the chain brake lever/hand guard is pushed towards the
bar, the chain should stop immediately. A chain brake does not
prevent kickback. It only lowers the risk of injury should the chain
bar contact the operator’s body during a kickback event. The chain
brake should be tested before each use for correct operation in both
the run and brake positions.
Chain catcher
A chain catcher prevents the saw chain from being thrown back
towards the operator if the saw chain comes loose or breaks.
Some regions have regulations that restrict the use of the product.
Check with your local authority for advice.
Never allow children or people unfamiliar with the instructions to use
the product. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.
Ensure before each use that all controls and safety devices function
correctly. Do not use the product if the “off” switch does not stop
the motor.
Wear full eye and hearing protection, strong sturdy boots and
gloves, as well as head protection while operating the product. Use
a face mask if operation is dusty.
Use of hearing protection reduces the ability to hear warnings
(shouts or alarms). The operator must pay extra attention to what is
going on in the work area.
Keep rm footing and balance. Do not overreach. Overreaching can
result in loss of balance and can increase the risk of kickback.
Do not wear loose tting clothing, short trousers, or jewellery of any
kind.
Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level to prevent
entanglement in moving parts.
Beware of thrown, ying, or falling objects. Keep all bystanders,
children, and animals at least 15 m away from the work area.
Do not operate in poor lighting. The operator requires a clear view
of the work area to identify potential hazards.
Operating similar tools nearby increases both the risk of hearing
injury and the potential for other persons to enter your work area.
Keep all parts of your body away from any moving part.
Inspect the product before each use. Check for correct operation
of all controls, including the chain brake. Check for loose fasteners,
make sure all guards and handles are properly and securely
attached. Replace any damaged parts before use.
Do not modify the product in any way or use parts and accessories
which are not recommended by the manufacturer.
WARNING! If the product is dropped, suffers heavy impact
or begins to vibrate abnormally, immediately stop the product
and inspect for damage or identify the cause of the vibration.
Any damage should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorised service centre.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or
by burning them. AEG Distributors offer to retrieve old batteries to
protect our environment.

RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible
to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise in use and the operator should pay special
attention to avoid the following:
■ Injury caused by vibration
● Always use the right tool for the job, use designated handles
and restrict working time and exposure.
■ Damage to hearing due to exposure to noise
● Wear hearing protection and limit exposure.
■ Injury caused by contact with exposed saw teeth of the chain
■ Injury caused by thrown-out pieces of the workpiece (wood
chips, splinters)
■ Injury caused by dust and particles
■ Injury to the skin caused by contact with lubricants
■ Parts ejected from the saw chain (cutting/injection hazards)
■ Unforeseen, abrupt movement, or kickback of the guide bar
(cutting hazards)
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools may
contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome in certain
individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and
blanching of the ngers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold.
Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking
and work practices are all thought to contribute to the development
of these symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
■ Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit
wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is reported
that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s
Syndrome.
■ After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood
circulation.
■ Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per
day.
■ Protective gloves available from professional chainsaw retailers
are designed specifically for chainsaw use which give protection,
good grip and also reduce the effect of handle vibration. These
gloves should comply with EN381-7 and must be CE marked.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately
discontinue use and see your physician.
WARNING! Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by
prolonged use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged
periods, ensure you take regular breaks.

SAFETY DEVICES
Low kick-back saw chain
A low-kick-back saw chain helps to reduce the possibility of a
kickback event.
The rakers (depth gauges) ahead of each cutter can minimize
the force of a kick-back reaction by preventing the cutters from
digging in too deeply. Only use replacement guide bar and chain
combinations recommended by the manufacturer.
As saw chains are sharpened, they lose some of the low kickback
qualities and extra caution is required. For your safety, replace saw
chains when cutting performance decreases.
Spiked bumper
The integral bumper spike may be used as a pivot when making a
cut. It helps to keep the body of the chainsaw steady while cutting.
When cutting, push the machine forward until the spikes dig into
the edge of the wood, then by moving the rear handle up or down
in the direction of the cutting line it can help ease the physical strain
of cutting.
Guide bars
Generally, guide bars with small radius tips have somewhat lower
potential for kick-back. You should use a guide bar and matching
chain which is just long enough for the job. Longer bars increase
the risk of loss of control during sawing. Regularly check the chain
tension. When cutting smaller branches (less than the full length of
the guide bar) the chain is more likely to be thrown off if the tension
is not correct.
Chain brake
Chain brakes are designed to quickly stop the chain from rotating.
When the chain brake lever/hand guard is pushed towards the
bar, the chain should stop immediately. A chain brake does not
prevent kickback. It only lowers the risk of injury should the chain
bar contact the operator’s body during a kickback event. The chain
brake should be tested before each use for correct operation in both
the run and brake positions.
Chain catcher
A chain catcher prevents the saw chain from being thrown back
towards the operator if the saw chain comes loose or breaks.
ASSEMBLY
WARNING! If any parts are damaged or missing do not
operate the product until the parts are replaced. Failure to heed
this warning could result in serious personal injury.
Assembling saw chain and guide bar
See pages 10 - 11.
Make sure to remove the battery pack from the product. Wear
protective gloves.
Remove the bar mounting nuts using the combination wrench
provided.
Remove the chain cover.
The saw chain should face in the direction of chain rotation. If they
face backwards, turn the loop over.
Place the chain drive links into the bar groove.
Position the chain so there is a loop at the back of the bar.
Attach the bar to the chain saw and loop the chain around the drive
sprocket.
Replace the chain cover and bar mounting nuts.
Finger-tighten the bar mounting nuts. The bar must be free to move
for chain tension adjustment.
Adjust the chain tension. Refer to the “Adjusting the chain tension”
section.
Hold the tip of the guide bar up and tighten the bar mounting nuts
securely.
Adjusting the chain tension
See page 12.
Make sure to remove the battery pack from the product.
Make sure the bar mounting nuts are loosened to nger-tight.
To increase the chain tension, turn the chain tensioning screw
clockwise and check the chain tension frequently. To reduce the
chain tension, turn the chain tensioning screw counterclockwise
and check the chain tension frequently.
The chain tension is correct when the gap between the cutter in the
chain and the bar is about 4 - 5.5 mm. Pull the chain in the middle
of the lower side of the bar downwards (away from the bar) and
measure the distance between the bar and the chain cutters.
Tighten the bar mounting nuts by turning it clockwise.
NOTE: The temperature of the chain increases during normal
operation causing the chain to stretch. Check the chain tension
frequently and adjust as required. A chain tensioned while warm
may be too tight upon cooling. Make sure that the chain tension is
correctly adjusted as specied in these instructions.
OPERATION
Adding the chain lubricating oil
See page 13.
WARNING! Never work without chain lubricant. If the saw
chain is running without lubricant, the guide bar and the saw
chain can be damaged. It is essential to frequently check the
oil level in the oil level gauge and before starting to use the
chainsaw.
Clear surface around the oil cap to prevent contamination.
Unscrew and remove the cap from the oil tank.
Pour the oil into the oil tank and monitor the oil level gauge. Ensure
that no dirt enters the oil tank while lling.
Put the oil cap back on and tighten it up. Wipe away any spillage.
One full oil tank will enable you to use the saw for 20- 60 min.
