2. OIL 3. SWITCHING ON/OFF
IMPORTANT: ONLY USE OIL THAT IS EXPRESSLY LABELLED
“CHAIN BAR OIL”.
1. Remove the chain bar oil cap.
2. Fill the tank with chain bar oil.
The capacity of the chain oil
tank is 220ml. Do not over ll.
3. Ret cap and clean any oil
spillage.
4. Always ll the oil tank when the
oil level is below the minimum
mark on the oil level window.

with the guide bar and chain above
some light coloured paper such as
newspaper. A steadily increasing
stain caused by oil spray shows
the lubricating system is working.
Note: Chain bar oil may leak if the tool is left for long periods. This is
normal. If the tool is to be left unused for an extended time, drain the oil from
the tool. Rell before use.
4. The chain will now be running,
ready to make a cut. Release
the lock-off switch.
Switching OFF
1. Release the trigger switch, the
chain and motor will quickly stop.

5. CUTTING
The chain brake operates automatically in the event of kick back.
The chainsaw is tted with a hand guard/chain brake which when operated
brings the chain to a stop within a tenth of a second.
The chain brake can be operated manually by pushing it forward or
automatically as a result of kickback.
Kickback occurs if the chain catches on the wood being cut and the chainsaw
recoils back suddenly.
In the event of kickback, your hand (which is on the front handle during
operation) jerks forward causing the back on your hand to push the guard
forward, engaging the chain brake and quickly stopping the chain.
CAUTION: FIRST TIME USERS SHOULD, AS A MINIMUM
PRACTISE, CUT LOGS ON A SAW-HORSE OR CRADLE
1. Press the bucking spikes against
the timber ensuring the chain
is not making contact with the
material being cut.
2. Start cutting by holding the
chainsaw by the front handle
and raising the rear handle.
3. If you cannot cut the timber
in a single stroke, apply
light pressure to the front
handle and continue sawing,
draw the chainsaw back a
little then apply the bucking
spikes a little lower and
nish the cut by raising the
rear handle.
4. Withdraw the chainsaw from
the cut while the chain is still
running.
Hints and Tips
• Do not force the saw into the cut. Apply only light pressure whilst running
the chain.
• If the saw chain gets caught in the cut, do not try to remove it by twisting
the guide bar or pulling forcibly. Use a lever or wedge to open up the cut
so that the saw chain is freed.
• Keep your left arm with elbow locked in a “straight arm” position to
withstand any kickback force.
• While cutting, always:
– Run the chainsaw motor at full speed. This makes the job safer, as there
is less chance of pull-in or kick-back.
– Position your body to the left of
the chainsaw so if it kicks back
uncontrollably, it goes over your right
shoulder, never stand in the cutting line
of the saw.
– Keep a rm grip with your left hand
on the front handle, with your thumb
securely below the handle.

Felling a Tree
WARNING!: FELLING A TREE SHOULD ONLY BE
DONE BY TRAINED OPERATORS.
Decide the direction in which you wish the tree to fall, taking into account
the direction of the wind, the position of branches, lean of the tree, ease
of subsequent limbing and
bucking and other factors
prevalent at the time.
Limbing
WARNING!: FELLING ALWAYS KEEP A BALANCED
STANCE. DO NOT STAND ON THE LOG. BE ALERT TO
THE FACT THAT THE LOG MAY ROLL OVER. WHEN
WORKING ON A SLOPE, ALWAYS STAND ON THE UP HILL
SIDE OF THE LOG.
Limbing is the process of removing the branches from a fallen tree. Check
the direction in which a branch will bend before cutting it. Always cut on the
opposite side to the bending direction so that the guide bar is not pinched in
the cut. For large limbs that cannot be removed in one cut, make an initial cut
from the bent side and nish
by sawing from the opposite
direction. Do not remove
limbs that are supporting the
fallen tree on the ground until
the tree has been cut into
lengths.
Pruning
WARNING!: DO NOT USE AN UNSTABLE FOOTHOLD
OR LADDER. DO NOT OVERREACH. DO NOT SAW
ABOVE SHOULDER HEIGHT. ALWAYS USE BOTH
HANDS TO HOLD THE SAW. FIRST CUT UP FROM THE
BOTTOM AND FINISH DOWN FROM THE TOP.
Pruning is the removal of a limb or
branch from a standing tree.
Bucking
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths for easier handling. To saw a log lying
on the ground, rst saw halfway, then roll the log over and cut from the
opposite side. To saw the end of a log
supported off the ground, rst saw up
from the bottom one-third through the
log then nish by sawing down from
the top. To saw a log in the middle
of two supports holding it off the
ground, rst saw down from the top
one-third through the log then nish
by sawing up from the bottom.
CAUTION: FIRST AVOID CUTTING THE GROUND AS THIS
WILL VERY QUICKLY DULL THE SAW CHAIN.

TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING: BEFORE CLEANING YOUR CHAINSAW OR
CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE,
MAKE SURE THE BATTERY REMOVED TO PREVENT
ACCIDENTAL STARTING.
CAUTION: ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES WHEN HANDLING
THE CHAIN AS IT IS VERY SHARP AND CAN CUT YOU
WHEN IT IS NOT MOVING.
Adjusting the Chain Tension
1. Loosen the guide bar locking knob
slightly, by rotating it in an anti
clockwise direction.
2. Adjustment chain tension screw
CLOCKWISE to increase chain tension.
Turning screw COUNTERCLOCKWISE
will decrease amount of tension on
the chain. Adjust the chain tension
screw for the correct tension.
For the correct chain tension, pull up on
the chain from the top and middle of the
exposed guide bar. The bottom tip of the
links should only just stay in the track.
3. After the chain has been accurately
tensioned, lock the guide bar in place
with the guide bar locking knob.
Note: Proper tension of the chain is extremely important and must be
checked before starting, as well as during any cutting operation.
Taking the time to make adjustments to the chain will result in
improved cutting performance and prolonged chain life.
Maintaining the guide bar
1. Remove any sawdust from the guide bar, including the groove.
Oil and sawdust combine and emit a burning smell during operation if the blade is not
regularly cleaned.
2. Make sure that the oil port is not clogged. Grease the nose sprocket at the tip of the
guide bar.
3. Check for oil leakage and loose fastenings, especially those securing the handles and
the guide bar.
4. Reverse the guide bar every 8 working hours to ensure uniform wear. Check the guide
rails frequently and if necessary remove burrs and square up the rails using a at le.
Cleaning and storing
• Keep the handles free of grease so that you can maintain a rm grip.
• Clean the device as required with a damp cloth and, if necessary, mild washing up
liquid.
• If the chainsaw is not to be used for an extended period of time
then you should remove the chain oil from the tank. Briey immerse the chain and
the cutter rail in an oil bath and then wrap them
in oil paper.
• Ensure that the guide bar cover is in place when storing.
CAUTION! ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE BATTERY BEFORE
CLEANING THE CHAINSAW.
CAUTION! NEVER IMMERSE THE UNIT IN WATER OR
OTHER LIQUIDS IN ORDER TO CLEAN IT.
CAUTION! STORE THE CHAINSAW IN A SAFE AND DRY
PLACE OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
Battery protection system
The tool is equipped with the battery protection system, which helps to ensure a long service
life.
The output power automatically cuts off during operation when the tool and/or battery are
placed under the following situations:
• When the tool is overloaded:
If this occurs, release the trigger switch and remove causes of overload, then pull the
switch trigger again to restart.
• When the remaining battery capacity becomes low:
Recharge the battery pack.
Note: The battery protection system does not in any way damage the tool.
Note: The indicated capacity may be lower than the actual level during use or immediately
after using the tool.
LED lights do not illuminate on charger
Check the charging adaptor is securely plugged into the wall outlet.
Check the battery is rmly connected to the charging cradle.
Check that the charging jack is securely connected to the charging cradle.
The battery has a short run time
Ensure the battery is properly charged. It will take 4-5 charging cycles before the battery
reaches optimum charge and run time.
Sparking visible through the housing air vents
A small amount of sparking may be visible through the housing vents. This is normal and
does not indicate a problem.
Chain Sharpening
Chain File: 3.96mm (5/32”)
Chain Pitch: 9.53mm (3/8”)
Chain Gauge: 1.1mm (0.043”)
Sharpen the chain regularly to maintain
optimum performance of the saw. Signs of a
dull chain are:
• The sawdust becomes powder-like
• Extra force is required to execute a cut
• The cut does not track in a straight line
• Increased vibration
Sharpen each cutter using a round 3.96mm (5/32”) chain le. Keep the le level with the
top plate of the tooth. Always use outward strokes and maintain a 30° angle between the
chain and le. After sharpening, the cutters must all have the same width and length.
After every 3–4 uses get an authorised repair centre to professionally sharpen your chain.
They have the special tools necessary to ensure the correct cutting angles and depths.
