Safety warnings

2.1 General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference!
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains‑operated (corded) power tool or battery‑operated (cordless) power tool.

  1. Work area safety
    a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
    b) 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.
    c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a  power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

  2. Electrical safety
    a) 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.
    b) 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.
    c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
    d) 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.
    e) 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.
    f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

  3. Personal safety
    a) 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 serious personal injury.
    b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
    c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
    d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
    e) Do  not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
    f) 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.
    g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

  4. Power tool use and care
    a) 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 for which it was designed.
    b) 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.
    c) 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.
    d) 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.
    e) 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.
    f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control..
    g) 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 hazard- ous situation.

  5. Service
    a) 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.

Safety instructions for chain saws

3.1 General chain saw safety warnings:
a) Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chain saw is operating. Before you start the chain saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating chain saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
b) Always hold the chain saw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done.
c) Hold the chain saw by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Saw chains contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the chain saw “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
d) Wear eye protection. Further protective equipment for hearing, head, hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective equipment will reduce personal injury from flying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
e) Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder, from a rooftop, or any unstable support. Operation of a chain saw in this manner could result in serious personal injury.
f) Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when standing on fixed, secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain saw.
g) 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 chain saw out of control.
h) 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.
i) Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw switched off and away from your body. When transporting or storing the chain saw, always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
j) Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing the bar and chain. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
k) Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not intended. For example: do  not use chain saw for cutting metal, plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the chain saw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
l) Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have an understanding of the risks and how to avoid them. Serious injury could occur to the operator or bystanders while felling a tree.
m) This chain saw is not intended for tree felling. Use of the chain saw for operations different than intended could result in serious injury to the operator or bystanders.

3.2 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 chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury. Kickback is the result of chain saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precau‑ tions as given below:
a) Maintain a  firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw 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 chain saw.
b) Do  not overreach and do  not cut above shoulder height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected situations. c) Only use replacement guide bars and saw chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement guide bars and saw chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
d) Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.

Tools are shielded in accordance with EN 55014.

Use

Attention! This chainsaw is intended for cutting wood only!

Putting into operation

Check whether the data on the rating plate conform to the real voltage of the power supply source. Check whether the plug type conforms to the socket. The device intended for 240 V can be also connected to 220 / 240 V.
9.1 Oil tank filling
The chainsaw may never work without the oil, because lack of oil can lead to damage of the chain, bar and engine. Damage as the consequence of work without oil is not covered by the warranty.Narex EPR 350 24 Electric Chainsaw - Oil
tank filling

Attention! Be so kind and use only the oil suitable for the saw chains.
Bio oil NAREX CO 1l (ord. no. 65403576) can be purchased in specialised shops. Do not use any worn out oil. Doing so would damage your chainsaw and void the warranty.
» Before refilling the oil tank, first unplug the cord from the power source.
» Unscrew the cap [3]. The cap is fitted from the inside with a plastic tether with a retainer to prevent the loss of the cap.
» Use a funnel to pour approximately 210 ml of oil into the tank and firmly screw the cap back on.
» The oil level can be seen through the level gauge [1].
» Empty the oil tank before transporting the chainsaw!
» Check that the chain lubrication system is functional before you begin work. Turn the chainsaw on when the cutting mechanism is installed and hold it at sufficient distance from a light‑coloured, contrasting surface. The chain bar must not be in contact with the surface! If the chain leaves an oil mark, the lubrication system is working properly.
» After finishing your work, place the chainsaw horizontally onto a absorptive underlay. Several drops of oil may drip down, due to the distribution of oil across the bar, chain and engine.
» Always empty the oil tank before long‑term storage.

9.2 Mounting of bar and chain
Attention! Risk of injury. Use protective gloves when inserting the chain.
No tools are needed for mounting the bar and chain on this chainsaw type model!
» Place the electric chainsaw on a stable /solid surface.
» Loosen the hand tightening nut [7] counterclockwise.
» Remove the sprocket (chain wheel) guard [8].
» Place the chain on the bar, observing correct orientation (in the direction of chain movement). Teeth on the top guide bar side must face forwards (see the Fig).

Narex EPR 350 24 Electric Chainsaw - bar and chain

» Place the free saw chain end on the drive sprocket [19].
» Place the bar so that the longitudinal hole in the bar may be aligned precisely with the seating surface guide.
» Pay attention to the chain tensioning pin [21] which must be seated precisely inside the bar hole. It must be seen clearly through the hole. If necessary, by rotating the grooved wheel of the chain tensioning unit [20] the pin can be moved forwards or backwards until the chain tensioning pin is seated precisely in the bar hole.
» Check whether all chain links are seated precisely in the bar groove and whether the saw chain is guided precisely round the drive sprocket [19].
» Place the sprocket wheel [8] guard with latch [8a] on the hole [8b] and press it firmly.
» Tighten the hand tightening nut [7] moderately clockwise.
» Tension the chain. For this purpose rotate the grooved wheel [20] up (arrow direction +). The chain should be tensioned so that it may be lifted in the central bar zone by ca 3 mm. To loose the chain, rotate the grooved wheel down (arrow direction -).
» Tighten the hand tightening nut [7] firmly!

Attention! Chain tensioning affects service life of the cutting unit materially and therefore it has to be checked regularly. When heated to the operating temperature, the chain is stretched and tightening must be renewed.
A new saw chain must be tensioned more frequently.
Attention! During the period of running-in the chain must be tensioned more frequently. If the chain vibrates or leaves the groove, it must be tensioned immediately!
When tensioning the chain, loosen the hand tightening nut moderately [7]. Rotate the grooved wheel up (arrow direction +). The chain should be tensioned so that it may be lifted in the central bar zone by ca 3 mm.
Tighten the hand tightening nut [7].
ATTENTION! Always use a  properly sharpened chain. Never work with a dull or damaged chain – doing so results in excessive physical exertion, high vibratory load, unsatisfactory cutting results and high level of wear.
To sharpen the chain manually, use the complete sharpening set Narex SET SK 4 (ord. no. 65406058).

9.3 Connection of the electric chainsaw
We recommend to operate the chainsaw with the residual current device with the max. breaking current 30 mA.
The machine must be connected to the mains, with the use of an automatic switch in the differential protection circuit, to break the circuit if discharge current to earth exceeds 30 mA.

The connection to the mains must meet the requirements of standard EN 60364‑1 and specific national regulations.
When the machine is on, existing voltage fluctuations during unfavourable conditions in the mains (high mains impedance) may negatively affect other connected appliances. You can request mains impedance information from your power supplier. Use the machine only when connected to suitable mains – maximum permissible mains impedance is 0,4 Ω.
Use only the lead-in cables approved for use outdoors which are not thinner than the rubber cable H07 RN-F pursuant to DIN/VDE 0282, min. cross section 1.5 mm2. They must be protected from splashing water.
The damaged power cable with the plug  [12] may be replaced only and exclusively by the service centre appointed by the manufacturer, because special tools are needed for this operation. Mobile devices used outdoors should be connected through the residual current device.
To protect the lead‑in cable, the chainsaw is fitted with tension reduction.
First, connect the machine’s power plug  [15] to the lead‑in (extension) cable [16]. Create a loop on the extension cable and insert it from the back into the hole for a cable loop [17]. Then, place the cable loop into the hook for a cable loop [18]. Pull the extension cable in the direction away from the chainsaw (back) to tighten the cable loop in
the hook.

9.4 Power Plug
WARNING! Risk of injury if the power tool is used with incorrect mains power supply.
The power tool may only be used with single‑phase alternating current with rated voltage of 220–240 V  / 50–60 Hz. The power tool has double insulation against injury by electric current in line with standard EN 60745 and features integrated interference elimination in line with standard EN 55014.
Before turning the tool on, check that the information on the production plate matches the real voltage in the socket.
The power cable can be extended if needed as follows:
– 20 m length, conductor cross section: 3 × 1.5 mm2
– 50 m length, conductor cross section: 3 × 2.5 mm2
Only use extension cables designed for outdoor use and bearing the appropriate markings.
Operation with an Electric Generator (EG) with a  Combustion Engine
The manufacturer of the tool cannot guarantee faultless operation with all EGs.

The tool can be used with an EG if the following conditions are met:
» The output voltage of the EG must always be in 230 VAC  ±10 % range. The EG should be fitted with automatic voltage regulation (AVR). Without AVR, the tool may not work correctly and may even get damaged!
» The power of the EG must be at least 2.5 times higher than the in‑ put power of the tool.
» Using the power tool with an EG with insufficient power may result in speed fluctuations and reduced output of the tool.

9.5 Switching on
» The front guard of the hand [4] must be in the unlocked position, i.e. must be pushed towards the front handle [2].
» Press the lock button [13] on the left side of the front handle [11] by the thumb and then the switch [9].
Attention! The electric chainsaw will be started immediately at a high speed.

» The lock button [13] serves for locking of unwanted start and after the switch is pressed, this button does not need to be held any more.
» For switching off, release the switch [9].
When switching the chainsaw off, the chain may never come in contact with stones or metal things!

9.6 Electronic system
Smooth start
To avoid the current peaks after start of the chainsaw, the device is equipped by the smooth / slow electronic start.

Safety devices on your electric chainsaw

Narex EPR 350 24 Electric Chainsaw - chainsaw

10.1 Chain Brake
The chainsaw is fitted with a mechanical chain brake. Should the saw swing back as a result of impact onto a solid object, the saw chain’s drive immediately stops, due to the response of the hand guard [4]. A braking action is initiated when the back of the hand on the front handle  [2] pushes forward onto the hand guard [4] (position B). You should always check the functioning of the chain brake before using the saw!
Attention! When releasing the chain brake, pull the hand guard [4] backwards in the direction of the handle and fix it here (position  A). The switch  [9] may not be activated!
Make sure that before putting the chain saw into operation the hand guard [4] is fixed in the working position.

10.2 Runout brake
In accordance with relevant regulations this chainsaw is equipped by the runout brake. it is connected with the chain brake and brakes the running chain after the chainsaw was switched off. It is activated after release of the switch [9]. This runout brake eliminates the risk of injury by the running chain.
10.3 Chain catcher
This chainsaw is equipped by the chain catcher [17]. If the chain is broken during work, the catcher catches quickly the moving chain end thus preventing injury of the user’s hand.

Instructions for professional work with the electric chainsawu

11.1 Tree felling
If two or more persons cut down the tree(s) at the same time, the distance between the persons should be at least twice the height of the cut tree. During tree felling other persons may not be endangered, el. distributing lines affected and material/property damaged. Contact of the falling thee with el. distribution line must be notified immediately to the relevant distribution company.
When cutting on a  slope, the chainsaw operator shall stay above the cut tree, because the fallen tree will most probably slide or roll down the slope.
a) Escape routeNarex EPR 350 24 Electric Chainsaw - Escape
routePrior to start cutting, the escape route should be planned and cleared, if necessary. The escape route should lead obliquely from the expected
falling tree track, as can be seen in the Figure.
Prior to start cutting, it is necessary to consider the natural tree leaning,
position of larger branches and wind direction so that the direction of
tree fall may be established. Impurities, stones, free bark, bolts and wires
have to be removed from the tree at first.
b) Creation of a notchNarex EPR 350 24 Electric Chainsaw - Creation of a
notchCut a notch at the right angle to the tree as deep as 1/3 of tree diameter. To make the notch, the horizontal cut shall be done at first to avoid jamming (seizing) of the chainsaw or the guide bar when starting the second oblique cut of the notch.
c) Felling cut
Start the felling cut 50 mm above the horizontal cut of the notch, see the Figure. Make the felling cut in parallel with the notch and so deep that the trunk residue may remain preserved as a “suspension”. The trunk residue prevents tree swivelling and its fall in the incorrect direction.
Do not cross‑cut the tree residue.
When the felling cut approaches the notch (undercut), the tree should start to fall. If it appears that the tree will most probably not fall in the desired direction or will be leaned back and will close the chainsaw, stop cutting and use wooden, plastic or aluminium wedges for opening the felling cut and for correct directing the tree.
When the tree starts to fall, take the chainsaw out of the cut, switch it off and leave the risk zone using the escape route. Pay attention to the falling branches not to stumble!
d) Branch trimming

Narex EPR 350 24 Electric Chainsaw - Branch trimming

Branch trimming is understood separation of branches from the fallen tree. When trimming, leave at first the larger branches supporting the trunk. Trim smaller branches by a single cut. The sprung branches should be cut from bottom to top to avoid chainsaw jamming.
e) Tree trunk cross-cutting
Cross‑cutting is understood trunk separation into shorter parts. Do not forget to be steady and to distribute body weight onto both legs. The trunk should be supported by branches, beams or wedges, if possible.
Observe simple instructions for easy cutting.

Narex EPR 350 24 Electric Chainsaw - touch the ground

If the whole trunk length is supported uniformly, see the Figure, cut from the top.

Narex EPR 350 24 Electric Chainsaw - avoid splitting

If the trunk lies on the ground by its one end, see Figure, cut at first 1/3 of trunk diameter from the bottom side and then the remaining part from the top as deep as the bottom cut.

Narex EPR 350 24 Electric Chainsaw - avoid splitting1

If the trunk lies above a  field depression supported on its ends, see Figure, cut at first 1/3 of trunk diameter from the bottom side and then the remaining part from the top as deep as the bottom cut.Narex EPR 350 24 Electric
Chainsaw - deep as the bottom

When cutting on the slope, stay as shown in the Figure. To have a full control over the chainsaw at the moment of full cross‑cut, reduce the pressure in the final cut phase, still holding chainsaw handles firmly in your hands. Attention, the chain may not touch the ground! When the cut is complete, wait until the chain is stopped and only then take out the chainsaw.
Attention! Never move from one tree to another with the switched on chainsaw.

Maintenance and service

Attention! Prior to start any work connected with maintenance and cleaning, always disconnect the power cable plug from the power supply source.
» Check all parts of the chainsaw for wear, especially the saw chain, guide bar and drive sprocket, before using the saw.
» Regularly rotate the guide bar so that the ratio of time spent cutting using one side or the other is approximately the same. Doing so reduces friction between the chain and  the bar, which would otherwise put a drain on the saw’s performance, overload the engine and could even damage it.
» To achieve optimal cutting results, the saw chain requires regular sharpening.
» A properly sharpened saw chain reduces the risk of kickback and prevents severe wear.
» Do  not work with a  dull or damaged saw chain. Doing so would place high stress on the body and cause poor cutting results, rapid wearing of the chain and overheating of the engine.
» The saw chain must be sharpened if wood flour forms during cutting or if there are noticeable reductions in cutting speed.
» Sharpen, using a round file with 4 mm diameter or have the chain sharpened by a professional.
» Make sure the chain is properly set. A chain that is too tight may slip out during cutting and cause injuries. Immediately replace damaged chains. The minimum cutting tooth length is 4 mm.
» Always clean the saw of sawdust and oil after use. Pay particular attention to the air holes in the casing [22]; clogging could result in overheating of the engine.
» If the chain is very dirty or clogged with resin, it must be removed and cleaned. Place the chain in a vessel with saw chain cleaner for several hours. Then, rinse it with water and, if the chain is not going to be used immediately afterwards, treat it with service spray or standard anti‑corrosion spray.
» Always empty the oil tank if the saw is going to be in storage for an extended period of time.
» Do not store the saw outdoors or in humid environments.
» Check the engine box and lead‑in cable for damage before use. If you find any damage, bring the chainsaw for repair to a professional workshop or service centre.
» Check the oil level before every use of the saw. Insufficient oil leads to chain, bar and engine damage.
Attention! With respect to protection from el. shock and preservation of the class of protection, all maintenance and service operations requesting jig saw case removal must be performed by the authorized service centre only!
The current list of authorized service centres can be found at our website www.narex.cz.

Technical problems

» Engine is not started: Check the power supply source (socket).
Check the lead‑in cable for possible damage. If remedy is not reached, handover the chainsaw to the specialized workshop or to the manufacturer’s service centre.
» Chain is not started: Check position of the hand guard  [4]. The hain is started at the released brake only.
» Heavy engine sparkling: Damaged engine or carbon brush.
Handover the chainsaw to the specialized workshop or to the manufacturer’s service centre.
» Oil is not distributed: Check oil level. Clean holes in the bar for smooth oil flow (see also corresponding instruction in the part “Maintenance and cleaning”). If remedy is not reached, handover the chainsaw to the specialized workshop or to the manufacturer’s service centre.
Attention! The maintenance and repair works other than those contained in this Operating Manual may be performed by authorized staff or by the manufacturer’s service centre only.
Attention! Damaged lead-in cable of the chainsaw may be replaced only by the specialized workshop authorized by the manufacturer or by the manufacturer’s service centre, because special tools are necessary for this operation.

Damage resulting from, in particular, normal wear and tear, overloading, improper handling, or caused by the user or other damage caused by not following the operating instructions, or any fault acknowledged at the time of purchase, is not covered by the warranty.
Complaints will only be acknowledged if the equipment has not been dismantled before being sent back to the suppliers or to an authorised NAREX customer support workshop. Store the operating instructions, safety notes, spare parts list and proof of purchase in a  safe place. In addition, the manufacturer’s current warranty conditions apply.
