CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
■ 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 chain saw is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating chain saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
■ 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.
■ Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental contact with the chain saw.
■ Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of a chain saw while up in a tree may result in personal injury.
■ Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw 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 chain saw.
■ 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 chain saw out of control.
■ Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the chain saw and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
■ 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 chain saw.
■ Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories.
■ Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
■ Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
■ Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not intended. For example: do not use chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry or nonwood building materials. Use of the chain saw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
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 chain saw 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 chain saw 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 tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
■ 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.
■ 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 chain saw. Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
WARNING! Residual risks Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise in connection with the tool’s construction and design:
■ Damage to lungs if an effective dust mask is not worn.
■ Damage to hearing if effective hearing protection is not worn.
■ Health defects resulting from vibration emission if the appliance is being used over longer periods of time or not adequately managed and properly maintained.
WARNING! This machine produces an electromagnetic field during operation. This field may under some circumstances interfere with active or passive medical implants. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, we recommend persons with medical implants to consult their physician and the medical implant manufacturer before operating this machine.

ii. Push it forward until it reaches the bottom. Before starting make sure the battery pack is firmly locked in place.
Removing the battery from the product
i. Press the battery pack release button (A) downward.
ii. Pull the battery pack towards the operator, then remove it.

Attention! The battery cannot be charged immediately after use, it should be left to cool down for a period of time. The LED lights on the charger switching from green to red, meaning the battery can be charged.

Switching on/off
NOTE: Hold the chain saw away from yourself using both hands. Stand in a secure and stable position.
i. Push the safety switch (13) forward and press the on/off switch (12) to turn the product on.
ii. Release the on/off switch (12) to turn the product off. Check the oil supply
NOTE! With the chainsaw fully assembled and adjusted it is important to check the chain oil supply is dispensing adequate lubrication.
After switching on, run the chain and see if chain oil is being dispensed as shown.

Chain Tension

1. Loosen the lock knob B before adjusting the chain.
2. Turn the chain tension knob until slack is out of chain.
3. Whilst wearing protective gloves, pull down on the chain to check the chain tension.
4. Do not use excessive tension on the chain. Doing this will cause excessive wear and will reduce the life of the guide bar and chain. Using excessive tension will also reduce the amount of cuts per battery charge.
5. Only when the tension on the chain is right, then tighten the tension wheel firmly.

Important!
It is very important to adjust the chain tension if the chain is loose.
Check if the chain is loose every 10mins.
NOTE! When tensioned correctly it should be possible to pull one full chain link free of the bar channel with ease.
– A new chain will expand its length during the first period of use. Check and re-adjust the tension frequently as a loose chain can easily derail or cause rapid wear of itself and the chain bar.
CAUTION! If the saw chain is TOO LOOSE or
TOO TIGHT the V-drive wheel, chain bar, chain and crank shaft bearing will suffer premature wear. Right Fig. shows the correct tension A (when cold) and tension B (when warm). Fig. C shows a chain that is too loose.

Chain brake / hand guard
CAUTION: A loose chain can jump off the bar while you are cutting, as well as wear the bar and chain. A chain that is too tight can damage the saw. Either way, if a chain is too loose or too tight, it could cause serious personal injury.
This chain saw is equipped with a Chain brake/Hand guard which stops a moving chain in milliseconds,helping to reduce the hazard of kickback, a fast upward motion of the guide bar which occurs when the saw chain at the nose of the bar accidentally strikes an object or is pinched in the cut. The Hand Guard also protects your left hand in the event it slips off the front handle.
The chain brake is a safety feature which is activated if pressure is applied against the guard or when, in the event of kickback, the operator’s hand strikes the lever. When the chain brake is activated, chain movement abruptly stops and the power supply to the motor is immediately cut off.
The purpose of the chain brake is to reduce the possibility of injury due to kickback. The chain brake cannot, however, provide the measure of intended protection if the saw is carelessly operated. The chain brake is disengaged (chain can move) when the brake is pulled back and locked. This is the normal running position. The chain brake is engaged (chain cannot move) when the brake is in the forward position.
CAUTION: NOTE: The motor will not start if the chain brake is in the engaged position.Brake is engaged and the product can not be started or run.Brake is disengaged and the product can be operated.
CAUTION: NOTE: The motor will not start if the chain brake is in the engaged position.
Chain brake test
Before cutting with your saw, the chain brake should be tested as follows:
A. Make sure the chain brake is disengaged.
B. Place the saw on a firm, flat, dry surface that is clear of any debris. Do not let the saw come in contact with any objects.
C. Install of the battery pack.
D. Grasp the front handle (not the Chain Brake / Hand Guard Lever) with your left hand. Thumb and fingers should encircle the handle.
E. Grasp the rear handle with your right hand .Thumb and fingers should encircle the handle.
F. Depress the Lock-off button with your right thumb. Squeeze the trigger with your index finger.
G. While the motor is running, activate the chain brake by rolling your left hand forward against the lever.
H. Chain and motor should stop abruptly.
WARNING: If the chain and motor fail to stop when the chain brake is engaged, take the saw to the nearest professional Service Center. Do not use the saw if the chain brake is not in proper working order.
Cutting
Felling
Felling is the term for cutting down a tree. Small trees up to 1215cm in diameter are usually cut in a single cut.
Limbing
Limbing a tree is the process of removing the branches from a fallen tree. Do not remove supporting limbs (A) until after the log is bucked (cut) into lengths. Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the chain saw.

Bucking
Bucking is cutting a fallen log into lengths. Make sure you have a good footing and stand uphill of the log when cutting on sloping ground. If possible, the log should be supported so that the end to be cut off is not resting on the ground. If the log is supported at both ends and you must cut in the middle, make a downward cut halfway through the log and then make the undercut. This will prevent the log from pinching the bar and chain. Be careful that the chain does not cut into the ground when bucking as this causes rapid dulling of the chain. When bucking on a slope, always stand on the uphill side.

1. Log supported along entire length: Cut from top (over buck), being careful to avoid cutting into the ground.
2. Log supported on 1 end: First, cut from the bottom (under buck) 1/3 diameter of log to avoid splintering. Second, cut from above (over buck) to meet the first cut and avoid pinching.
3. Log supported on both ends: First, over buck 1/3 diameter of log to avoid splintering. Second, under buck to meet first cut and avoid pinching.

NOTE: The best way to hold a log while bucking is to use a saw horse. When this is not possible, the log should be raised and supported by the limb stumps or by using supporting logs. Be sure the log being cut is securely supported.
For personal safety and ease of cutting, the correct position for vertical bucking is essential.
VERTICAL CUTTING:
A. Hold the saw firmly with both hands and keep the saw to the right of your body while cutting.
B. Keep the left arm as straight as possible.
C. Keep weight on both feet.

CAUTION: While the saw is cutting, be sure the chain and bar are being properly lubricated.

MAINTENANCE

Preventative maintenance
CAUTION: Place switch in OFF position and remove the battery pack before the appliance is serviced, cleaned, or maintenance is performed.

1. Keep the air intake clean and air vents free of debris to avoid overheating the motor.
2. Clean with a damp sponge and mild soap. Do not squirt with a water hose or douse with water or other liquids.
3. Inspect the saws chain for proper tension before each use and frequently during cutting.
4. Clean the guide bar and bar pad to ensure free path for oil.
5. Turn the bar over after each use to achieve even wear.

NOTE: No motor lubrication is necessary. The motor is equipped with lifetime lubricated bearings.
NOTE: If the chainsaw do not operate, turn switch to OFF position and remove the battery pack first. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.
Bar/chain maintenance
WARNING: Before servicing the saw, make sure that the battery pack is removed.
Proper maintenance of the rail, as explained here, is essential to keep your saw in good working order.
SPROCKET TIP LUBRICATION:
(For unite supplied with sprocket tip guide bars only)
WARNING: Failure to lubricate the reversing star will result in poor performance and jamming, and will void the warranty.
CAUTION: Failure to lubricate the guide bar sprocket tip as explained below will result in poor performance and seizure, voiding the manufacturer’s warranty.
Lubrication of the sprocket tip is recommended after each saw use. Always thoroughly clean the guide bar sprocket tip before lubrication.
TO LUBRICATE SPROCKET TIP:
WARNING: Wear heavy duty work gloves when performing this application to reduce risk of personal Injury.

1. Remove the battery pack from the chain saw.
   NOTE: It Is not necessary to remove the chain saw to lubricate the guide bar sprocket tip.
   Lubrication can be done on the Job.

2. Clean the guide bar sprocket tip.

3. Using disposable Lube gunp insert the needle nose into the lubrication hole and inject grease until it appears at the outside edge of the sprocket tip.

4. Turn the chain by hand. Repeat this procedure until the entire deflection star is greased.

Guide bar maintenance
Most guide bar problems can be prevented merely by keeping the chain saw well maintained. Incorrect filing and non-uniform cutter and depth gauge settings cause most guide bar problems, primarily resulting in uneven bar wear. As the bar wears unevenly the rails widen, which may cause chain clatter and difficuhy in making straight cuts.
Insufficient guide bar lubrication and operating the saw with a chain that is TOO TIGHT will contribute to rapid bar wear (see Section CHAIN MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS).
To help minimize bar wear, the following guide bar maintenance is recommended.
GUIDE BAR – The bar should be reversed every 8 working hours to ensure uniform wear. Keep the bar groove and lubrication hole dean using the bar groove cleaner supplied optional.

BAR WEAR – Tum guide bar frequently at regular intervals(for example, after 8 hours of use), to ensure even wear on top and bottom of the bar.
BAR GROOVES – Bar grooves (or rails which support and carry the chain) should be cleaned if the saw has been heavity used or if the saw chain appears dirty. Rails should always be cleaned every time the saw chain is removed.
OIL PASSAGES – Oil passages at bar pad should be cleaned to ensure proper lubrication of the bar and chain during operation. This can be done using a soft wire small enough to insert into the oil discharge hole.
NOTE: The condition of the oil passages can be easily checked. If the passages are clean the chain will automatically give off a spray of oil within seconds of starting the saw. Your saw is equipped with an automatic oiler system.
What is a low kickback saw chain?
Lowkickback saw chain is a chain which has met the kickback performance requirements of ISO 9518. By keeping the chain brake and saw chain in good working condition and correctly serviced as recommended in this manual, you will be able to maintain the safety system of your chain saw over the life of the product.
WARNING: Never remove, modify or make inoperative any safety device furnished with your unit. The Chain Braks/Hand Guard and low-kickback saw chain are major safety features provided for your protection.
WARNING: Always wear heavy duty protection work gloves and disconnect the battery pack when working on the saw chain.

Chain Maintenance
CHAIN TENSION:
Check the chain tension frequently and adjust as often as necessary to keep the chain snug on the bar, but loose enough to be pulled around by hand. (See Section chainsaw TENSION
ADJUSTMENT) BREAKING IN A NEW SAW CHAIN:
A new chain and bar will need readjusting after as few as 5 cuts. This is normal during the breakin period, and the interval between future adjustments will begin to lengthen quickly.
Over a period of time, however, the moving parts of the saw chain will become worn,  resulting inwhat is called CHAIN STRETCH. This is normal. When it is no longer possible to obtain correct chain tension adjustment, a link will have to be removed to shorten the chain.
WARNING: Never have more than 3 links removed from a loop of chains as this could could cause damage to the sprocket.
CHAIN LUBRICATION:
Always make sure the automatic oiler system is working property. Keep the oil tank filled with Chain, Bar and Sprocket Oil (not supplied, available to purchase separately). Adequate lubrication of the bar and chain during cutting operations is essential to minimize friction with the guide bar.
Never starve the bar and chain of lubricating oil. Running the saw dry or with too little oil will decrease rapid cutting efficiency, shorten saw chain life, cause rapid dulling of the chain, and lead to excessive wear of the bar from overheating. Too little oil is evidenced by smoke or bar discoloration.
Replace the chain
i. Remove the clamp knob (6) and the chain cover
ii. Fit the chain around the bar ensuring that the direction of the chain is as depicted in the picture on the bar. Fit the chain on the sprocket. iii. Adjust the tension to ensure that there is not too much slack in the chain. Pay attention to the correct direction of the saw chain.
iv. Fit the chain cover to the power unit. While lifting the tip of guide bar, tighten the bar knob securely (clockwise). Hand tighten only! NOTE! A new chain will expand its length during the first period of use. Check and re- adjust the tension frequently as a loose chain can easily derail or cause rapid wear of itself and the chain bar. If the saw chain is TOO LOOSE or TOO TAUT, the Vdrive wheel, the chain bar, the chain and the crank shaft bearing will suffer premature wear.

CHAIN AND BAR LUBRICATION
Adequate lubrication of the chain saw during cutting operations is essential to minimize friction with the guide bar. Your chain saw is equipped with an automatic oiler system. The oiler automatically delivers the proper amount of oil to the bar and chain. The oil tank level can be checked in the oil inspection window (A) provided on the right side of the saw. The tank is full when oil is at the top of the slot.

CAUTION: Never starve the bar and chain of lubrication oil. Running the saw DRY or with TOO LITTLE OIL will decrease cutting efficiency, shorten chain saw life, and cause rapid dulling of the chain and excessive wear of the bar from overheating.
Too little is evidenced by smoke or bar discoloration.
NOTE: The chain saw stretches during use, particularly when it is new, and occasional adjustment will be needed. A new chain requires more frequent adjustment during the break-in period. This is normal. See Section chain saw Tension Adjustment instructions.
