IMPORTANT!
The chain is designed exclusively for
sawing wood. You may only fell trees if
you have received the appropriate training.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for
damage caused by improper or incorrect
usage.
Please note that our equipment has not
been designed for use in commercial, trade
or industrial applications. The warranty
will be void if the machine is used in
commercial, trade or industrial businesses
or for the equivalent purposes
Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar
with the controls and the proper use of
the equipment. Always ensure anyone
intending to operate this electric chainsaw
is fully conversant with the content of this
assembly manual prior to assembling,
maintaining or operating the chainsaw.
Keep this operating and maintenance
manual in a safe place for future reference.
Never allow children or people unfamiliar
with these instructions to use the electric
chainsaw. Local regulations can restrict the
age of the operator.
This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
Do not touch the saw chain.
WARNING!
Use appropriate tool. This device is only
intended for sawing wood for domestic
purposes in residential gardens. You may
only fell trees if you’ve received appropriate
training. Do not force small tools or
attachments to do the job of a heavy duty
tool.
Use personal protective equipment (PPE).
Always wear eye protection and ear
protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, chainsaw trousers, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read these instructions fully before operating or maintaining your machine
cutting saw chain. Make sure the switch
is off when clearing jammed material. A
momentary lapse of concentration while
operating the chainsaw may result in
serious personal injury.
Do not overreach and do not cut over
shoulder height. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD with a tripping current
of 30mA or less) protected supply. Use
of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock. NOTE! The term residual current
device (RCD)”may be replaced by the term
“ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)” or
“earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)”.
Keep work areas clean. DO NOT start
cutting until you have a clear work area,
secure footing, and a planned retreat path
from falling trees or branches. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
Consider work area environment. Do not
expose your tool to high humidity or rain.
Do not use your tool in damp and wet
conditions. Keep the work area well lit.
Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at
least 50 feet away. The operator or user
is responsible for accidents or hazards
occurring to other people or the property.
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.
Be certain the parts are fully tightened
before operating the tool. Check it
periodically for tightness during use to
avoid serious injury.
Risk of cut. Do not touch or try to stop the
cutting saw chain when it is moving.
Disconnect plug from the tool when not in
use or when servicing or cleaning.
Check for damaged parts. Before further
use, carefully check the tool for damage.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read these instructions fully before operating or maintaining your machine
Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting and any other condition that may
affect its operation.
Do not use the tool if any parts are
damaged or defective. Have any damaged
or defective parts repaired or replaced by
an authorized service agent. Never attempt
any repairs yourself.
Grip the tool securely. Always hold the tool
securely in both hands while working with
it.
Keep handle dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery handles do not allow
for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
Keep the cable away from the cutting area.
During operation, the cable may be hidden
in shrubs and can be accidentally cut by
the saw chains.
Do not overload the tool. Only work in the
performance range stated. Do not use
tools that do not have sufficient power
for heavy jobs. Do not use the tool for
any use other than that intended by the
manufacturer.
Do not operate a chainsaw while climbing
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 a
fixed, 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 fibers 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.
Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing accessories.
Incorrectly tensioned or lubricated chain
may either break or increase the chance for
kickback.
Cut wood only. Do not use 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.
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.
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 rapidly back
to 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.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read these instructions fully before operating or maintaining your machine
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.
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
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
Cut the wood in correct direction.
The first-time user should, as a minimum,
practice cutting logs on a saw-horse or
cradle.
Before using the chainsaw, be sure to
check the chain and bar tension. Do not
use the chainsaw if the chain and bar are
loose. Also confirm that no abnormalities
are present by first test running the tool.
Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean
and in good condition for better and safer
performance. Follow the instructions for
maintenance and changing accessories.
