4. INTRODUCTION
- 6-

When using any type of power tool there are steps that should be taken to make sure that you, as
the user, remain safe.
Common sense and a respect for the tool will help reduce the risk of injury.
5.1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOL USE
5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Most important: You must know how to safely start and stop this machine, especially in an
emergency.
Keep the work area tidy and clean. Attempting to clear clutter from around the machine during use
will reduce your concentration. Mess on the floor creates a trip hazard. Any liquid spilled on the floor
could result in you slipping.
Find a suitable location. If the machine is bench mounted, the location should provide good natural
light or artificial lighting as a replacement. Avoid damp and dusty locations as it will have a negative
effect on the machine’s performance. If the machine is portable do not expose the tool to rain. In all
cases do not operate power tools near any flammable materials.
Keep bystanders away. Children, onlookers and passers by must be restricted from entering the
work area for their own protection. The barrier must extend a suitable distance from the tool user.
Unplug and house all power tools that are not in use. A power tool should never be left unattended
while connected to the power supply. They must be housed in a suitable location, away locked up
and from children.
Do not overload or misuse the tool. All tools are designed for a purpose and are limited to what
they are capable of doing. Do not attempt to use a power tool (or adapt it in any way) for an
application it is not designed for. Select a tool appropriate for the size of the job. Overloading a tool
will result in tool failure and user injury. This covers the use of accessories.
Dress properly. Loose clothing, long hair and jewellery are all dangerous because they can become
entangled in moving machinery. This can also result in parts of body being pulled into the machine.
Clothing should be close fitted, with any long hair tired back and jewellery and neck ties removed.
Footwear must be fully enclosed and have a non-slip sole.
Wear personal protective equipment (PPE). Dust, noise, vibration and swarf can all be dangerous
if not suitably protected against. If the work involving the power tool creates dust or fumes wear a
dust mask. Vibration to the hand, caused by operating some tools for longer periods must be
protected against. Wear vibration reducing gloves and allow long breaks between uses. Protect
against dust and swarf by wearing approved safety goggles or a face shield. These are some of the
more common hazards and preventions, however, always find out what hazards are associated with
the machine/work process and wear the most suitable protective equipment available.
Do not breathe contaminated air. If the work creates dust or fumes connect the machine (if
possible) to an extraction system either locally or remotely. Working outdoors can also help if
possible.
Move the machine as instructed. If the machine is hand held, do not carry it by the power supply
cable. If the product is heavy, employ a second or third person to help move it safely or use a
mechanical device. Always refer to the instructions for the correct method.
Do not overreach. Extending your body too far can result in a loss of balance and you falling. This
could be from a height or onto a machine and will result in injury.
Maintain your tools correctly. A well maintained tool will do the job safely. Replace any damaged
or missing parts immediately with original parts from the manufacturer. As applicable keep blades
sharp, moving parts clean, oiled or greased, handles clean and emergency devices working.
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.
●The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Wait for the machine to stop. Unless the machine is fitted with a safety brake, some parts may
continue to move due to momentum. Wait for all parts to stop, then unplug it from the power supply
before making any adjustments, carrying out maintenance operations or just finishing using the tool.
Remove and check setting tools. Some machinery requires the use of additional tools or keys to
set, load or adjust the power tool. Before starting the power tool always check to make certain they
have been removed and are safely away from the machine.
Prevent unintentional starting. Before plugging any machine in to the power supply, make sure the
switch is in the OFF position. If the machine is portable, do not hold the machine near the switch and
take care when putting the machine down, that nothing can operate the switch.
Carefully select an extension lead. Some machines are not suitable for use with extension leads. If
the tool is designed for use outdoors, use an extension lead also suitable for that environment. When
using an extended lead, select one capable of handling the current (amps) drawn by the machine in
use. Fully extend the lead regardless of the distance between the power supply and the tool. Excess
current (amps) and a coiled extension lead will both cause the cable to heat up and can result in fire.
Concentrate and stay alert. Distractions are likely to cause an accident. Never operate a power tool
if you are under the influence of drugs (prescription or otherwise), including alcohol or if you are
feeling tired. Being disorientated will result in an accident.
Have this tool repaired by a qualified person. This tool is designed to conform to the relevant
international and local standards and as such should be maintained and repaired by someone
qualified, using only original parts supplied by the manufacturer. This will ensure the tool remains safe
to use.

7. UNPACKING & CHECKING
- 13-

8.1 FUELLING – FIG.1
This Draper petrol product is powered by a engine
which MUST be filled with unleaded fuel MIXED with
2-stroke oil. Failure to add oil or incorrectly mixing the
oil and fuel can result in running problems or engine
failure. Any machine returned under warranty which is
found to have failed due to a lack of lubrication will be
considered a chargeable repair.
Only use fresh, clean, and good quality unleaded fuel
mixed with synthetic 2-stroke oil in a ratio of 25:1.
Before attempting to fuel this machine, make sure you
have completely read and understood the safety
instructions.
Danger! Fuel is highly flammable.
– Open the fuel cap by turning it anticlockwise. Hang it to one side so that it does not block
the opening.
– Combine fuel and 2-stroke oil to create a 25:1 mixture.
Example: Add 40ml of synthetic 2-stroke oil in to 1,000ml (1 litre) unleaded fuel and shake
well to produce a 25:1 mix.
Fuel quality degrades rapidly: Avoid storing fuel by mixing only what you require.
Using fuel that has degraded will cause starting/running problems.
– Carefully pour the mixture into the fuel tank filling it while taking care not to spill or waste
any. Have a rag to hand to clean away any residue or spilt fuel.
– Replace the fuel cap making sure it is seated
properly before tightening clockwise. If the threads
become crossed it will damage the tank. It may also
result in fuel leaking out during use and potentially
causing a fire risk.
8.2 HARNESS ATTACHMENT - FIGS.2 - 3
The harness is supplied to help reduce user
fatigue.
– Pass your head and right arm through the
harness  and position the attachment point

9.1 FITTING AND REMOVING THE CHAIN
AND GUIDE BAR - FIGS.4 - 6
Caution! Take care when handling the chain as it is
sharp.
– With the engine stopped, remove the 10mm nut
 anticlockwise, followed by the drive sprocket
cover .
– Adjust the chain tension adjustment screw 
until the tensioning pin  is approximately in the
midway position.
– Hold the guide bar  up and beginning at the
nose [tip] lay the saw chain  in to the groove.
Make sure the nose sprocket teeth sit correctly
between the chain links (Fig.6).
– Fit the guide bar  with the saw chain  on to
the locating stud . The chain links on the top of
the guide bar must have the arrow pointing away
from the housing. If there is no arrow marking visible
on the chain, mount it as shown in (Fig.7).
– Replace the drive sprocket cover  and the
10mm nut  and tighten securely.
When the chain begins to wear, the cutting
performance will reduce. Have the chain sharpened or
replace it with an identical one.
To remove the chain and guide bar:
– With the engine stopped, loosen the 10mm nut
 anticlockwise.
– Turn the chain tension adjustment screw 
anticlockwise to loosen the strain on the bar.
– Remove the 10mm nut  anticlockwise,
followed by the drive sprocket cover .
– Lift the guide bar  with the saw chain  off
the locating stud  and tension pin  and
away from the drive sprocket .
9.2 TENSIONING THE CHAIN - FIGS.7 - 9
When fitting a new chain, check and adjust it regularly
until the initial stretch has been taken out [this is
normal].
– With the engine stopped and the 10mm nut 

manually run the chain around the bar and pull one
complete chain link clear of the groove.
9.3 CHAIN OIL - FIG.10
– A continuous flow of oil on to the guide bar and
chain must be provided at all times. This oil
lubricates the chain around the bar preventing it
from over heating and seizing up.
– Turn the oil reservoir cap  anticlockwise to
remove it.
– Fill the reservoir  with chain oil. Do not use any
other type of new or used oil. Chain oil is
specifically designed for the job and is not harmful to
the environment.
– Replace the oil reservoir cap  tightly, turning it
clockwise.

10. STARTING THE 2-STROKE MOTOR UNIT
Do not attempt to start this machine until you have
read and understood all the safety instructions.
10.1 STARTING THE ENGINE
- FIGS.16 - 18
Warning! In an emergency, slide the engine stop
switch  forward to kill the engine.
– Slide the engine stop switch backward.
– Grip the front handle and squeeze and hold the
throttle lock button  whilst at the same time
depressing the throttle safety lever  and throttle
. When slowly released, the throttle  should
be held in its start position by throttle lock button
.
Cold starts – close the choke to restrict the amount of
air entering the engine. Slide the choke lever
 to
the OFF position.
Warm starts – open the choke to increase the amount
of air entering the engine. Slide the choke
lever
 to the ON position.
– Prime the engine with fuel. Press the fuel primer
 
3 or 4 times. The primerand fuel line from the tank
should have fuel present.
Attention! Over priming will cause the engine to
flood with too much fuel. This will engulf the spark
plug and stop the engine from starting. There will
be a stronger smell of fuel when this occurs.
– Grip the neck of the motor unit with your left hand
holding the machine firmly on the ground. Crouch
over the machine while maintaining firm footing.
Attention! Do not stand or apply any pressure on to
the output shaft.
– With your right hand hold the pull start handle .
– Make 2 or 3 short, sharp pulls of the starter or until
the engine starts. If the engine does not start by the
fifth crank, move the choke setting.
Warning! Do not pull the starter rope out fully as it may
break. Do not release the starter rope and allow it to recoil unaided.
– When the engine starts, pull throttle lever
 to release the 'start' position.
– When the engine has been running for a few minutes open the choke fully.
Attention! The majority of engines have an initial period in which the internal components bed
themselves in. This engine is no different. During this the first 5 or 6 tank fulls [bedding in period],
running the engine in the very high rev. range must be avoided as the stresses involved can cause
damage to the engine.

11. OPERATING THE TREE PRUNING ATTACHMENT
11.1 ADJUSTING THE OIL FLOW - FIG.19
Check the flow of chain oil. See how much is thrown
from the tip of the bar at full throttle on to a piece of
clean white paper. A light spray of oil should be cast on
to the paper. If it appears excessive or too light, adjust
as necessary.
– With the engine stopped, adjust the oil flow
adjustment screw  clockwise to increase the flow
or anticlockwise to decrease it.
– Start the engine and test the flow again. When
sufficient is being thrown from the tip, the adjustment
is complete.
– A reservoir full of chain oil will run dry long before the engine runs out of fuel. Continually check
the oil level during use, refilling the reservoir before it is empty.
11.2 WORKING TECHNIQUES - FIGS.20 - 21
Beware of hidden objects. Check there are no cables or other objects hidden within the tree
branches that will damage this machine or cause injury if cut by the pruner.
– This machine must not be used in any circumstances that cause it to be within 15M of overhead
power lines.
– Before beginning any overhead work, the ground must be cleared first. Remove any debris that
is likely to trip or obstruct a quick exit to safety. You must plan an 'escape route' should anything
fall suddenly.
– Inspect the condition of the tree. Check that there are no loose branches that are likely to fall
unexpectedly as a result of what you intend cutting. Check for signs of decay within the tree that
may cause part or all of the tree to fall on you.
Do not attempt to cut wind fallen trees or timber.
– Work systematically starting from the lowest branches first. This prevents falling branches from
becoming hung.
– Do not work in windy conditions as this increases the risk of personal injury.
– Remove the transport guard before starting the engine.
Warning: Before cutting, make sure the chain is correctly fitted and tensioned.
DELIMBING
The best practice is to cut branches in to manageable sections.
Due to the weight of the branch on it's self, simply
cutting through from top to bottom will result in it
splitting along the branch damaging the tree. An initial
relief cut on the underside, followed by a final cut from
above will stop this from happening.
– Position the cutting head near the tree limb making
sure it is not touch any other branches.
– With the saw chain running at full speed, begin
cutting the underside of the branch using the chain
on the top of the guide bar. Cut approximately one
third of the way through. Beware of hidden branches
as contact with the tip can cause the saw to
kickback.

11. OPERATING THE TREE PRUNING ATTACHMENT
– Finish cutting down through the remaining two
thirds. Let the chain do the cutting:
Do not force it!
– Safely and quickly get out of the way from the
falling debris.
– Small branches can be removed in one cut.
– Do not cut too close to the trunk as it creates a
larger diameter 'wound' and takes longer to 'heal'. It
can also speed up the spread of decay. A 'wound'
will 'heal' fine without the need for any treatment.
– The guide bar and chain are consumable items.
11.3 HAZARDS - FIGS.22 - 24
There are several dangers specific to cutting timber
with a saw chain.
Kickback is the term used to describe the reaction
when the tip of the guide bar is thrown upwards in an
arc. On a chainsaw this is very dangerous as it is
generally thrown up toward the users face; however, on
this type of machine it can still be hazardous and result
in a loss of control or injury.
The chain is driven out, away from the head, along the
top of the guide bar. If the chain stops suddenly
[pinched by the limb being cut] within the kickback
zone it will drive the guide bar back and upward in the
opposite direction.
Pull-In is the result of the chain becoming pinched
along the underside of the guide bar, the reaction doing
as the name suggests, whipping the machine away
from you. To avoid this, make sure the chain is running
at full speed before starting the cut.
Generally, the best way to avoid these hazards are:
– Maintain a sharp and correctly tensioned chain.
– Cut one branch at a time.
– Avoid all other branches while performing the cut.
– Butt the housing up to the branch.
– Begin the cut only with the chain at full speed.
– Concentrate at all times and firmly grip the machine
with both hands.
If the machine remains trapped in a partial cut stop the
engine. Support the weight of the machine while trying
to lift [or pull down, depending on the side of the chain
trapped] the branch to release the chain.
