1 INTRODUCTION
Your product has been engineered and manufactured to
high standards for dependability, ease of operation, and
operator safety. When properly cared for, it will give you
years of rugged, trouble-free performance.
1.1 INTENDED USE
This chainsaw is designed for cutting branches, trunks,
logs and beams of a diameter determined by the cutting
length of the guide bar. It is only designed to cut wood.
It is only to be used in an outdoor, domestic application
by adults.
Do not use the chainsaw for any purpose not listed
above.
This chainsaw is not to be used for professional tree
services. It is not to be used by children or by persons
not wearing adequate personal protective equipment
and clothing.
1.2 RESIDUAL RISKS
Even with the intended use of the power tool, there is
other risk which cannot be prevented.
According to the type and construction of the power
tool, the following potential hazards might happen:
• Contact with exposed saw teeth of the saw chain
(cutting hazards).
• Access to the rotating saw chain (cutting hazards).
• Unforeseen, abrupt movement of the guide bar
(cutting hazards).
• Flung out of parts from the saw chain (cutting /
injection hazards).
• Flung out of parts of the work piece.
• Inhalation of work piece particles.
• Skin contact with the fuel oil.
• Loss of hearing, if no ear protection is used during
work.

EN
• 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.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
• Store idle power 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.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed.
Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
2.5 BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
•
manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
• 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 fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with plenty of soap and
water. If liquid contacts eyes, immediately seek
medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
2.6 SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.

3 CHAINSAW SAFETY
WARNINGS
• 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 in contact
with anything.
operating chainsaws may cause entanglement of
your clothing or body with the saw chain.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the saw chain may contact hidden
wiring.
make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand at the
rear handle and your left hand at the front handle.
Holding the chainsaw with a reversed hand
configuration increases the risk of personal injury
and should never be done.
• Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further
protective product for head, hands, legs and feet is
recommended.
reduce personal injury from flying debris or
accidental contact with the saw chain.
• Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree.
chainsaw while up in a tree may result in personal
injury.
• Always keep proper footing and operate the
chainsaw only when standing on fixed, secure and
level surface.
ladders may cause loss of balance or control of the
chainsaw.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert of

4 PREVENT OPERATOR
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 firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the chainsaw handles, with both hands on
the saw and your body and arm positioned 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 specified 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.
5 ADDITIONAL WARNINGS
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 fingers, usually
apparent upon exposure to cold and dampness. Diet,
smoking and work practices are all thought to contribute
to the development of these symptoms. It is presently
unknown what, if any, vibrations or extent of exposure
may contribute to the condition. 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.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your physician
about these symptoms.
• The recommended cutting capacity of this chainsaw
is 153 mm and smaller to prolong the life of the tool
and allow for safest operation.
• Cutting logs with a diameter larger than this will
cause excess wear on your tool. Logs with a
maximum diameter of 229 mm can be cut, but
should only be done so rarely and with caution.
• The metal bucking spikes are designed to assist
cutting. When forced against the log while cutting it
provides a more stable pivot point.
• Any chainsaw is potentially lethal if used
inappropriately. It is strongly suggested that you
seek professional training in the safety and use of
this tool.
