know how to assemble the guide bar and saw chain.
Check the chain tensioning and add oil as described later
in this manual before each operation.
ASSEMBLING THE GUIDE BAR AND SAW CHAIN
See gure 2 - 7
Make sure remove the battery pack from the unit. Wear
protective gloves.
Unscrew the sprocket cover tighten knob (item 10)
and remove the sprocket cover.
The saw chain should face in the direction of chain
rotation. If they face backwards, turn the loop over.
Place the chain drive links into the bar groove.
Position the chain so there is a loop at the back of
the bar.
Hold the chain in position on the bar and place
the loop around the sprocket and make sure it is
correctly mounted. Make sure the bar hole ts well
with bolt (item 16) for saw chain tension.
Replace the sprocket cover, turn the chain tension
adjust knob (item 11) clockwise until the saw chain
is properly tensioned. The guide bar must then be
pushed upwards, check chain tension again, do not
tension the chain too tight.
After the chain is well-tensioned, tighten the knob
(item 10) again.
NOTE: The saw chain is properly tensioned if, in the
middle of the guide bar, it can be lifted 3mm to 4mm from
the edge of the guide bar. Start the saw again with a new
saw chain, allowing it to run-in for 2~3 minutes.
WARNING
After the run-in time, check the chain tension and
retighten the chain if necessary.

English (original instructions)
EN DE ES IT FR PT NL RU FI SV NO DA PL CS SK SL HR HU RO BG EL AR TR HE LT LV ET
WARNING
Check the chain tension before each use of the saw.
WARNING
Never operate the chain saw without sufcient chain
lubrication as this might damage the saw and is a threat
to safety. Check the chain lubricant level before each
use!
In order to prevent kickback, please follow these safety
instructions:
Never cut with the tip of the guide bar! Be careful
when continuing from previous cuts.
Always start cutting only when the chain saw is
already running.
Make sure that the saw chain is always properly
sharpened.
Never cut through more than one branch at a time!
When lopping off branches, be careful not to touch
any other branches.
When cross-cutting, pay attention to trunks standing
very close to each other. If possible, use a sawing
trestle.
HOLDING THE CHAIN SAW
See figure 8
Always hold the chain saw with your right hand at the
rear handle and your left hand at the front handle.
Grip both handles with the thumbs and fingers encircling
the handles. Ensure that your left hand is holding the front
handle so that your thumb is underneath.
STARTING OPERATION
Before starting for operation, you should install the
battery pack in the machine.
Press the safety lock (item 1), this makes the switch
trigger operational.
Press and hold the trigger (item 2), and keep it
pressed for continued operation.
STOPPING OPERATION
Release the trigger (item 2) to stop the chain saw.
OPERATING THE CHAIN BRAKE See figure 22
Check the operating condition of the chain brake prior to
each use.
Engage the chain brake by rotating your left hand
around the front handle, allowing the back of your
hand to push the chain brake lever/hand guard
toward the bar while the chain is rotating rapidly. Be
sure to maintain both hands on the saw handles at
all times.
Reset the chain brake back into the RUN position by
grasping the top of the chain brake lever/hand guard
and pulling toward the front handle.
WARNING
If the chain brake do not stop the chain immediately, or
if the chain brake will not stay in the run position without
assistance, take the saw to an authorized service center
for repair prior to use.
USING THE CHAIN SAW
Always be sure of your footing and hold the chain saw
rmly with both hands while the motor is running.
BASIC FELLING, LIMBING, AND CROSS-CUTTING
TECHNIQUES
See gure 9
FELLING A TREE
When bucking and felling operations are being performed
by two or more persons at the same time, the felling
operation should be separated from the bucking operation
by a distance of at least twice the height of the tree being
felled. Trees should not be felled in a manner that would
endanger any person, strike any utility line or cause any
property damage. If the tree does make contact with
any utility line, the utility company should be notifi ed
immediately.
The chain saw operator should keep on the uphill side of
the terrain as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after
it is felled.
An escape path should be planned and cleared as
necessary before cuts are started. The escape path
should extend back and diagonally to the rear of the
expected line of fall.
Before felling is started, consider the natural lean of the
tree, the location of larger branches and the wind direction
to judge which way the tree will fall.
Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, and staples from
the tree.
NOTCHING UNDERCUT (A NOTCH CUT IN A TREE TO
DIRECT THE FALL)
See Figure 10
Make the notch 1/3 in diameter of the tree, perpendicular
to the direction of falls. Make the lower horizontal notching
cut fi rst, this will help to avoid pinching of either the saw
chain or the guide bar when the second notch is being
made.
FELLING BACK CUT (THE FINAL CUT IN A TREE

English (original instructions)
EN DE ES IT FR PT NL RU FI SV NO DA PL CS SK SL HR HU RO BG EL AR TR HE LT LV ET
FELLING OPERATION, MADE ON THE OPPOSITE
SIDE OF THE TREE FROM THE NOTCHING
UNDERCUT)
See Figure 10
Make the felling back cut at least 50mm higher than the
horizontal notching cut. Keep the felling back cut parallel
to the horizontal notching cut. Make the felling back cut
so as to leave enough wood to act as a hinge. The hinge
wood keeps the tree from twisting and falling in the wrong
direction. Do not cut through the hinge. As the felling
cut gets close to the hinge, the tree should begin to fall.
If there is any chance that the tree may not fall in the
desired direction or it may rock back and bind the saw
chain, stop cutting before the felling back cut is complete
and use wedges of wood, plastic or aluminium to open the
cut and drop the tree along the desired line of fall. When
the tree begins to fall, remove the chain saw from the cut,
stop the motor, put the chain saw down, and then use the
retreat path as planned. Be alert of overhead limbs falling
and watch your footing.
LIMBING A TREE
See figure 11
Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen tree.
When limbing, leave the larger lower limbs to support the
log off the ground. Remove the small limbs in one cut.
Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom
up, to avoid binding the chain saw.
BUCKING A LOG
See figure 12 - 15
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to
make sure your footing is fi rm and your weight is evenly
distributed on both feet. When possible, the log should be
raised and supported by the use of limbs, logs or chocks.
Follow the simple direction for easy cutting:
1. When the log is supported along the entire length, it is
cut from the top (over buck).
2. When the log is supported on one end, cut 1/3 of the
diameter from the underside (under buck). Then make the
fi nished cut by over bucking to meet the fi rst cut.
3. When the log is supported on both ends, cut 1/3 of that
diameter from the top (over buck). Then make the finished
cut by under bucking the lower 2/3 to meet the first cut.
4. When bucking on a slope, always stand on the
uphill side of the log. When cutting through, to maintain
complete control, release the cutting pressure near the
end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the chain saw
handles.
Do not let the chain contact the ground. After completing
the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you move
the chain saw. Always stop the motor before moving from
tree to tree.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Always remove the battery pack from the machine before
checking the chain tension or making adjustments to the
chain. Wear protective gloves while touching the chain,
bar or areas around the chain.
ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION
See gure 2 and gure 7
Loosen the chain cover lock nuts (item 10) with the
supplied wrench. The chain cover lock nuts do not
have to be completely removed in order to adjust the
chain tension.
Rotate the chain adjustment screw(item 11)
clockwise to increase the chain tension and rotate
counterclockwise to decrease the chain tension.
Once the chain is at the desired tension, tighten the
chain cover lock nuts(item 10).
REPLACING THE BAR AND CHAIN
See Figure 3-7
Remove the battery from the chain saw.
Remove the supplied wrench(item 12) from the rear
handle (item 3).
Remove the two chain cover lock nuts (item 10) from
chain cover by rotating them counterclockwise with
the wrench.
Remove the chain cover(item 15) from the mounting
surface.
The bar and chain can now be removed by lifting it
away from the main body of the saw and releasing
the chain from the sprocket.
Remove the old chain from the bar.
Lay out the new saw chain in a loop and straighten
any kinks. The cutters should face in the direction of
chain rotation. If they face backwards, turn the loop
over.
Place the chain drive links into the bar groove.
Position the chain so there is a loop at the back of
the bar.
Hold the chain in position on the bar and place the
loop around the sprocket.
Fit the bar ush against the mounting surface so that
the bar studs are in the long slot of the bar. Ensure
that the chain is over the sprocket.
Replace the chain cover.
Remove all slack from the chain by turning the chain
adjustment screw(item 11) clockwise until the chain
seats snugly against the bar with the drive links in the
bar groove(item 20).
Lift the tip of the guide bar up to check for sag.
Release the tip of the guide bar and turn the chain
adjustment screw 1/2 turn clockwise. Repeat this
process until sag does not exist.
Hold the tip of the guide bar up and tighten the chain
cover lock nuts by turning them with the wrench. The

English (original instructions)

chain is correctly tensioned when there is no sag on
the underside of th e guide bar, the chain is snug, but
it can be turned by hand without binding.
ADDING CHAIN & BAR LUBRICANT
Unscrew and remove the cap (item 6) from the oil
tank.
Pour the oil into the oil tank and monitor the quick
view oil indicator ( item 5).Ensure that no dirt enters
the oil tank while lling the oil in.
Put the oil cap back on and tighten it up.
One full oil tank will enable you to use the saw for
20- 40 min.
TRANSPORTING THE CHAIN SAW
Before transporting the chain saw, always remove the
battery pack from the chain saw and slide the chain cover
over the bar and chain. If several cuts are to be performed
with the chain saw, the saw must be switch off between
cuts.
GUIDE BAR COVER
See gure 1
The chain cover (item 15) must be clipped onto the chain and
bar as soon as the sawing work has been completed and
whenever the machine has to be transported.
SHARPENING THE SAW CHAIN
See gure 16 - 21
When the chain penetrates into wood with difculty, it
needs sharpening as follows:
Put the chain under tension.
Fasten the bar in a vice so that the chain can slide.
Fasten the le to the le holder and place it on cutter
at 35° angle.
File with forward strokes only until all the worn out
parts of the cutting edge are taken away.
Count the number of strokes given to the cutter as a
reference and le away with the same number of strokes
on all other cutters.
If the depth gauge protrudes from the template after
sharpening a few times, reset its level. Use a at le.
Finally, round off the depth gauge.
NOTE: It is recommended to have the deep or important
sharpening carried out by a service agent who is equipped
with electric sharpener.
GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE
When you have nished working, clean out the
groove and the oil passages with a scraping hook.
Periodically trim the sides of rails using a at le. If
not done in the long run, the feather edges might
break away and damage the bar.
If one rail is higher than the other one, it is necessary
to make it even with a at le then smooth it with a
le or ne grain abrasive paper.
