SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS LISTED BELOW MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE AND/ OR SERIOUS INJURY. THE TERM “POWER TOOL” IN ALL WARNINGS LISTED BELOW REFERS TO YOUR ELECTRIC CHAINSAW.
WORK AREA
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
2. 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.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges or refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
2. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
3. Use outdoor extension leads. If working outdoors, always use an approved cable extension suitable for the power rating of this tool (see specifications), the conductor size should also be at least the same size as that on the machine, or larger. When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely. We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply via a Residual Current Device (RCD).
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. 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 personal injury.
2. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to the power supply.
3
Page 4
4. DO NOT overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
5. Dress properly. DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. 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 which it was designed.
2. DO NOT use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the power before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and DO NOT allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool and accessories in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of
the power tool for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation.
SERVICING
1. 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. Contact CLARKE service department for more detail.

CHAINSAW SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chainsaw is
operating. 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.
2. It is recommended that the first time user should have practical instruction
in the use of the chainsaw and recommended protective equipment from an experienced operator. The initial practice should be cutting logs on a
saw horse or cradle.
3. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles
are slippery causing loss of control.
4. Always hold the chainsaw with your right
hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle, as shown.
Holding the chainsaw with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk of injury and should never be done.
5. Hold the chainsaw by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring or its own cable. Saw chains contacting a “live”
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
6. Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment
for head, hands, legs and feet must also be worn. Adequate protective
clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
7. DO NOT operate a chainsaw in a tree. Operation of a chainsaw while up in a tree may result in personal injury.
8. Always keep proper footing and operate the chainsaw only when standing
on fixed, secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the chainsaw.
9. When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres is released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the chainsaw out of control.
10. Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
5
Page 6
11. Carry the chainsaw by the front handle with the
chainsaw switched off and away from your body. When transporting or storing the chainsaw always fit the guide bar cover. Proper
handling of the chainsaw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
12. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing accessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
13. Cut wood only. DO NOT use the chainsaw for
purposes not intended. For example: DO NOT use the 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.
14. Prolonged use of power tools has been reported to cause vascular,
muscular, and/or neurological disorders (such as vibration white finger or Raynaud’s syndrome), particularly when operating the tool in cold weather. If you experience numbness or loss of feeling in your extremities,
stop using the tool until symptoms fade. To reduce the incidence of vibration induced trauma, follow these instructions:
• Wear gloves and keep hands and body warm.
• Maintain a firm grip on the chainsaw, but DO NOT use prolonged, excessive pressure. Let the chainsaw do the work.
• Assure that the cutting system is maintained properly.
• Take frequent breaks.
15. Keep the power cord behind you, and know the position of the cord at all times. Keeping the cord behind you and knowing the position of the cord will help minimise tripping hazards and prevent severing the cord with the chainsaw.
16. If the cord is cut or damaged, immediately stop using the chainsaw and disconnect the cord from the mains. A damaged or cut cord increases the risk of electrical shock.

CAUSES AND 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:
1. Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers 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.
2. 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.
3. Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer.
Incorrect replacement bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/ or kickback.
KICKBACK SAFETY DEVICES ON THIS SAW
1. Chain Brake. This chainsaw comes equipped with a chain brake, which stops both the motor and the motion of the chain when kickback occurs. The chain brake can be activated by the forward motion of the front hand-guard as the saw rotates backward during kickback; it can also be activated by the inertial forces generated from a kickback event.
2. Chain. This chainsaw comes equipped with a saw chain that meets the reduced kickback performance requirements of ISO 9518.
3. Bar. This saw comes equipped with a reduced kickback guide bar that has a small radius nose. Smaller radius noses have less potential for kickback.

PREPARING FOR USE
WARNING: FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THE SAFETY WARNINGS BEFORE CONTINUING WITH THIS SECTION.
WARNING: ENSURE THAT THE CHAINSAW IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY AND ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES DURING ALL CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS IN THIS SECTION
CHECKING THE FRONT HAND-GUARD POSITION
After unpacking the chainsaw, check the position of the front hand-guard. The chainsaw will not run with the chain brake engaged. Pull the front hand-guard back forwards the front handle before operation, as shown.
FILLING THE BAR AND CHAIN OIL RESERVOIR
WARNING: BAR AND CHAIN OIL PREVENTS PREMATURE WEAR. NEVER OPERATE THE CHAINSAW IF OIL IS NOT VISIBLE IN THE RESERVOIR INSPECTION WINDOW. CHECK OIL LEVEL FREQUENTLY AND FILL AS NEEDED
Bar and chain oil is required to properly lubricate the guide bar and saw chain. The chainsaw is equipped with an automatic oiler that deposits oil on the bar and chain when running, keeping them properly lubricated. Always use chainsaw oil for best results, as it is specially designed to provide low fiction and faster cuts. NEVER use oil or other lubricants that have not been specifically designed for use on the bar and chain. This can lead to a clogged oil system which may cause premature wear of the bar and chain.
14
Page 15
1. Place the chainsaw on a firm, flat surface so that the oil cap is on top, as shown.
2. Clean any debris from the cap area.
3. Remove the cap.
4. Carefully pour the bar and chain oil into the reservoir.
5. Replace the cap and make sure oil is visible in the reservoir window.
PRIMING THE OILER
If this is the first time filling the bar and chain oil reservoir, or if the chainsaw has been stored for a long period of time without use, prime the oiler, as follows:
1. Unplug the chainsaw.
2. Loosen the side cover release knob slightly, but DO NOT remove the side cover.
3. Loosen the chain tensioning ring that is on the outside of the side cover release knob (turn it anti-clockwise) as far as it will go.

7. Loop the new saw chain onto the drive sprocket so that the cutting edge of the teeth along the top of the bar face away from the powerhead, as shown.
8. Feed the chain into the groove of the bar and slide the bar away from the motor to remove slack from the chain, as shown.
9. Install the side cover, making sure the chain catcher and side cover tab are seated in their proper locations, as shown, then lightly tighten the side cover release knob.
10. Tension the chain as described in the following section ‘Tensioning the Saw Chain’.
TENSIONING THE SAW CHAIN
WARNING: IF THE CHAIN IS STILL LOOSE WHEN THE SAW IS AT MAXIMUM TENSION, REPLACE THE CHAIN.
CAUTION: ONLY TENSION THE SAW CHAIN WHEN THE CHAIN IS COOL. A HOT CHAIN MAY CONTRACT AND DAMAGE THE GUIDE BAR OR CHAIN AS IT COOLS.
1. Unplug the chainsaw before tensioning.
2. Loosen the side cover release knob slightly, but DO NOT remove the side cover.
17
Page 18
3. Hold up the nose of the guide bar, as shown, and turn the chain tensioning ring clockwise.
4. Tighten the chain tensioning ring until the lowest cutters underneath the bar solidly contact the bar, as shown.
5. Tighten the side cover release knob.
6. Lightly pull on the chain. The tension is correct when the chain snaps back after being pulled 3mm away from the guide bar.
7. After a short period of use, allow the chain to cool, unplug the chainsaw and check the tension again. Watch tension carefully for the first half hour of use and periodically throughout the life of the chain, readjusting as required when the chain and bar are cool to the touch. NEVER tension the chain when it is hot.
NOTE: The chain will stretch as a result of normal use, however, insufficient oil,
aggressive use, or failure to perform recommended maintenance can lead to premature stretching.

20
Page 21
TESTING THE CHAIN BRAKE
CAUTION: THE CHAIN BRAKE HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY IF KICKBACK OCCURS. HOWEVER, IT CANNOT BE RELIED UPON TO PROTECT YOU AGAINST INJURY IF THE CHAINSAW IS USED CARELESSLY. TAKE GREAT CARE WHEN CUTTING, AND ALWAYS TEST THE CHAIN BRAKE BEFORE USING THE CHAINSAW.
To check brake operation:
1. Place the saw on a firm flat surface with no obstructions to the chain.
2. Start the saw briefly.
3. Keep the left hand on the front handle and roll the left wrist to move the front hand guard forward to manually activate the chain brake, as shown.
4. Release the trigger switch.
NOTE: A properly functioning chain brake
stops the motor and saw chain immediately. If the motor and saw chain do not stop immediately, have the chain brake checked at an approved service location before using the chainsaw.
5. Return the front hand guard to operating position.
POWER CORD USE AND CARE
SELECTING AN EXTENSION CORD
Select an extension cord that is:
1. Specifically labeled for outdoor use.
2. Of a wire size heavy enough to carry the current the full length of the cable according to the table below.
Select the gauge of extension cord based on the desired length and the electrical specifications found on the product label or in the specification
section of this manual.
Cord Length (M) Min. Diameter Wire Size
0 - 15 1.6277mm
16 - 30 2.0525mm
Make sure the insulation is free of cracks and that the plugs are undamaged.
21
Page 22
USING THE STRAIN RELIEF BRACKET
It is important to use the strain relief bracket for two reasons:
1. It saves wear on both the power cord and the extension cord and their plugs.
2. It prevents the chainsaw from becoming unplugged from the extension cord accidentally.
To use the strain relief bracket, bend the extension cord into a U shape and put it through the hole in the rear handle. Slide the loop of cord over the hook and tug lightly until snug, as shown.
22
Page 23
CUTTING, PRUNING, FELLING, LIMBING AND BUCKING
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, WEAR PROPER BOOTS, GLOVES, HEAD, EAR AND EYE PROTECTION.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, MAKE SURE THE CORD INSULATION IS INTACT AND THAT THE CORD IS IN A DRY LOCATION WHERE THERE IS NO DANGER OF IT BEING CUT OR TRIPPED OVER.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, ALWAYS BE SURE OF FOOTING AND HOLD THE CHAINSAW FIRMLY WITH BOTH HANDS WHILE THE MOTOR IS RUNNING.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, PLAN AHEAD AND PLAN MULTIPLE ESCAPE PATHS BEFORE BEGINNING WORK.
CAUTION: ESTABLISH A BYSTANDER SAFETY ZONE OF 6M (20FT) PRIOR TO OPERATION OF THIS EQUIPMENT. BYSTANDER SAFETY ZONE IS A MINIMUM 6M (20FT) CIRCLE AROUND THE OPERATOR THAT MUST REMAIN FREE FROM BYSTANDERS, CHILDREN AND PETS. FELLING OPERATIONS REQUIRE A LARGER SAFETY ZONE ACCORDING TO THE SIZE OF THE TREE, SEE ‘FELLING A TREE’ SECTION.
IMPORTANT: Practice cutting logs on a sawhorse or cradle until you become comfortable operating the saw.
To get the best performance and to operate the saw safely, follow these instructions:
1. Observe all applicable national and local rules and regulations for cutting.
2. Take frequent breaks to reduce the risk of injury.
3. Before beginning to cut, make sure the saw chain is properly tensioned and the chain is sharp.
23
Page 24
Saw chains are made to cut wood only. DO NOT use the chainsaw to cut any other materials, and DO NOT allow the chain to come into contact with dirt, stones, nails, staples or wire. These materials are extremely abrasive and will wear away protective plating from the chain in a very short time.
Sharpen or replace the saw chain if any of these conditions occur:
1. The pressure required to make cuts increases noticeably.
2. Wood chips coming off of the chain are very fine or dust like.
DO NOT work with a dull chain as it will increase the effort required to cut, cause jagged cuts, increase wear on the chainsaw and increase the risk of kickback. NEVER force a dull chain to cut.
1. Assume the proper cutting grip and stance in front of the wood with the saw turned off. Press the trigger switch. Let the chain reach full speed before beginning the cut.
2. Begin cutting by lightly pressing the guide bar against the wood. Use only light pressure and let the saw do the work.
3. Maintain a steady speed throughout the cut releasing pressure just before the end of the cut.
4. Know the location of the cord at all times to avoid trip hazards and avoid cutting the cord.
5. Know the location of the tip of the bar at all times and avoid contact with other objects.
6. If the saw stops suddenly when cutting, remove the saw from the cut, then resume cutting using lighter pressure on the work piece.
PRUNING
WARNING: FALLING LIMBS MAY BOUNCE OR SPRING BACK AFTER THEY HIT THE GROUND SO IT IS ESSENTIAL TO KEEP THE GROUND CLEAR TO PROVIDE MULTIPLE RETREAT PATHS. CLEAR THE WORK AREA AND WEAR HEAD PROTECTION.
Pruning is removing dead or overgrown branches to maintain plant health.
1. Plan retreat paths before beginning to cut, and make sure there are no obstructions. Always know how to get out of the way of falling branches.
2. Make sure bystanders or helpers are a safe distance from falling branches. Bystanders or helpers should not stand directly in front of or behind the operator.
3. Maintain solid footing and hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands. DO NOT overreach. NEVER climb a tree or ladder to reach high limbs.
4. Secure any branches that might be hazardous.
24
Page 25
5. Use proper auxiliary equipment.
6. Prune lower limbs before pruning higher ones.
7. Allow the saw chain to achieve full speed before cutting.
8. Apply light pressure to the branch.
9. For long limbs, cut the end of the limb first (1) to relieve pressure from the limb, then prune closer to the trunk (2), as shown.
10. Thick limbs (greater than 10cm (4 inch) in diameter) can splinter or pinch the chain when making a single cut from the top. To avoid pinching or splintering, first make one shallow relief cut on the bottom surface of the limb (1), then cut the limb all the way through from the top of the limb (2) to match the bottom cut, as shown.
11. After most of the limb has been removed, make one smooth cut near the trunk, as shown.
25
Page 26
FELLING A TREE
WARNING: A TREE IS LIKELY TO ROLL OR SLIDE DOWNHILL AFTER IT IS FELLED. PLAN AND CLEAR A RETREAT PATH BEFORE CUTS ARE STARTED. THE RETREAT PATH SHOULD EXTEND BACK AND DIAGONALLY TO THE REAR OF THE EXPECTED LINE OF FALL.
Felling is cutting down a tree. Before felling is started, consider the natural lean of the tree, the location of larger branches and the wind direction to judge which way the tree will fall and plan your retreat route.
1. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire from the tree where felling cuts are to be made.
2. When bucking and felling operations are being performed by two or more persons at the same time, separate the felling operation from the bucking operation by a distance of at least twice the height of the tree being felled.
3. 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 contacts any utility line, immediately leave the area and notify the utility company.
4. Use the metal spikes on the front of the saw to support the saw on the wood. Set metal spiked bumper into the wood and use as a leverage point to increase stability when cutting large diameter wood.
NOTCHING UNDERCUT
1. First, make a notch 1/3 the diameter of the tree in the direction you want the tree to fall. Make the lower horizontal notching undercut first (1). This will help to avoid pinching of either the saw chain or the guide bar when the second cut (2) is being made, as shown.

FELLING BACK CUT
1. Second, make the felling back cut at least 50mm (2 inch) higher than the horizontal notching undercut, as shown. Keep the felling back cut parallel to the horizontal notching undercut.
2. 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.
3. As the felling cut gets close to the hinge, the tree should begin to fall under its own weight.
4. 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.
5. When the tree begins to fall, remove the chainsaw from the cut, stop the motor, put the chainsaw down, then use the retreat path planned.
6. Be alert for overhead limbs falling and watch footing.
LIMBING A TREE
WARNING: LIMBS UNDER TENSION CAN SPRING BACK AND CONTACT THE OPERATOR OR THROW THE CHAINSAW OUT OF CONTROL RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY. ALWAYS BE ALERT FOR WOOD UNDER TENSION WHICH MAY STRIKE THE OPERATOR OR CHAINSAW WHEN CUT.
Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen tree.
1. When limbing, leave large lower limbs to support the log off the ground.
2. Remove the small limbs in one cut.
3. Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the chainsaw, as shown.

BUCKING A LOG
WARNING: BUCKING LOGS UNDER TENSION INCREASES THE CHANCE OF KICKBACK. USE ONE OF THE METHODS BELOW TO SUPPORT THE LOG WHEN BUCKING.
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to make sure footing is firm and weight is evenly distributed on both feet. When possible, the log should be raised and supported by the use of limbs, logs or chocks.
1. When the log is supported along its entire length, cut from the top (overbuck), as shown.
2. When the log is supported on one end, cut 1/3 the diameter from the underside (underbuck), then make the finished cut by overbucking to meet the first cut, as shown.
3. When the log is supported on both ends, cut 1/3 of that diameter from the top overbuck, then make the finished cut by underbucking the lower 2/3 to meet the first cut, as shown.
28
Page 29
4. When bucking on a slope, always stand on the uphill side of the log, as shown.
5. To maintain complete control when cutting through, release the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing the grip on the chainsaw handles.
6. Don’t let the chain contact the ground.
7. After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you move the chainsaw.
8. Always stop the motor before moving from tree to tree.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
WARNING: FAILURE TO IDENTIFY AND REPLACE DAMAGED OR WORN PARTS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. INSPECT THE CHAINSAW REGULARLY. REGULAR INSPECTION IS THE FIRST STEP TO PROPER MAINTENANCE. FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES BELOW TO MAXIMISE SAFETY AND SATISFACTION. HAVE ANY DAMAGED OR EXCESSIVELY WORN PARTS REPLACE IMMEDIATELY.
WARNING: ALWAYS SWITCH THE CHAINSAW OFF, DISCONNECT FROM THE POWER SUPPLY AND LET THE CHAINSAW COOL DOWN BEFORE PERFORMING INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING WORK!
INSPECTION
Before each use and if the chainsaw has been dropped, inspect these parts:
• Cord: Ensure the plug is in good condition and not bent or corroded,
and that the insulation is intact. If the cord is damaged, DO NOT USE. Contact CLARKE parts/service department.
• Handles: Front and rear handles should not have cracks or other
damage. They should be clean and dry.
• Front Hand Guard: The front hand guard should be free of damage and
able to move easily back and forth. When moved, the front hand guard should activate the chain brake.
29
Page 30
• Guide Bar: The bar should be straight and free of chips, cracks or excessive wear.
• Saw Chain: The chain should be properly tensioned and sharp and all components free of cracks, chips, broken teeth or excessive wear. See ‘Tensioning the Saw Chain’ (pages 17-18) section.
• Side Cover: The side cover should be free of cracks or other damage. It should fit tightly to the saw body with no warping. Make sure the chain catcher is free of cracks.
