SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Read and understand
ALL safety instructions and
warnings before operating this
product. Failure to do so may
result in electric shock, fire,
and/or serious injury.
1. Work area safety
•Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
•Do not operate power tools in an
explosive atmosphere, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust. Power tools may
create sparks which can ignite the
dust or fumes.
•Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
2. Electrical Safety
•Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with grounded power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
•Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
•Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering the
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. This will
reduce the risk of electric shock.

•If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected
supply.
3. Personal Safety
•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.
•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.
•Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the OFF
position before connecting to the
power source and/or battery pack,
picking up, or carrying the power tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch invites accidents.
•Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
•Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
•Dress properly. Do not wear loose
jewelry or clothing. Keep hair,
clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry,
or long hair can get caught in moving
parts.
4. Power tool use and care.
•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.
•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 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.
•Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar the power tool or
these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
•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.
•Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
•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
hazardous situation.
5. Service.
•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.
CHAINSAW SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Keep all body parts away from the
saw chain when the chain saw is
operating. Before you start the chain
saw, make sure that the saw chain is
not touching anything. A moment of
3
feedback@natitools.com
inattention while operating
chainsaws may cause
entanglement of your clothing or
body with the chainsaw.
2. Always hold the chainsaw with
your right hand on the rear handle
and your left hand on the front
handle. Holding the chainsaw with
a reversed hand configuration
increases the risk of personal
injury and should never be done.
3. 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 saw
chain.
4. Do no operate the chainsaw in
a tree. Operation of a chainsaw
while up in a tree may result in
personal injury.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Use extreme caution when
cutting brush and saplings. The
slender material may catch the
chainsaw and be whipped toward
you or pull you off balance.
8. 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

4
contact with the moving saw chain.
9. Follow instructions for lubricating,
chain tensioning, and changing
accessories. Improperly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.
10. Keep handles clean, dry, and free
from oil and grease. Greasy, oily
handles are slippery causing loss of
control.
11. Only cut wood. Do not use
chainsaw for purposes not intended.
For example: do not use 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.
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 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 detailed below:
•Maintain a firm grip, the 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.

•Prepare in advance a way to
escape from falling trees or
branches. Clear the obstacles that
may make an escape difficult.
Remember that fresh cut grass or
bark is slippery.
•In case there is an accident,
make sure that there is someone
nearby (at a safe distance).
•Do not use this tool while you are
in a tree, on a ladder, or on any
other unstable surface.
•Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
•Hold the tool securely with both
hands while it is running.
•Make sure that the saw chain
does not escape the guide groove
when contacting cutting object.
•Start to cut only when the chain is
at full speed.
•Do not try to hit a previous cut
section. Always make a fresh cut.
•Be aware of falling branches that
may fall into the chain and stop a
cut.
•Do not try to cut a branch which is
in excess of the suggested cutting
diameter.
•Keep the chain sharp and
carefully stretched. Check the
power voltage requirements at
regular intervals.
Note: Turn the power off, allow the
chain to come to a complete stop,
and disconnect the plug from the
power source before making any
adjustments, repairs, or
maintenance.
•Use only genuine spare parts and
accessories.
•Local regulations may specify the
minimum age for users. The
minimum distance from the device
to an above-ground electrical line
must always be at least 33 ft.
•The user must read and
understand all instructions and
safety warnings in this manual
before use.
•Do not overreach. Do not cut above
shoulder height. This helps prevent
unintended tip contact and enables
better control of the chainsaw in
unexpected situation.
•Only use replacement bars and
chains specified by the
manufacturer. Incorrect replacement
bars and chains may may cause
breakage and/or kickback.
•Follow the manufacturer’s
sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height
can lead to increased kickback.
The use of a residual current device
with a tripping current of 30 mA or
less. Position the cord so that it will
not get caught on branches and the
like during cutting. A first-time user
should practice cutting logs on a
saw-horse or cradle.

approximately 3-4mm out of the bar
groove.
USE THE POLE SAW
Never use the machine with a
working angle greater than 60°. An
angle greater than 60° increases the
risk of injury from suddenly falling
branches. This pole saw uses a low-
kickback chain. Nevertheless, a
small kickback when using the pole
saw is unavoidable. Check the
cutting attachment before using the
machine to make sure everything is
secure and in proper working
condition. Hold the pole saw with
both hands, then conduct a cross
section cut of a branch. In order to
avoid chipping and buckling of a
branch, the branches should be cut
off in several parts. When sawing
long branches, you should cut into
the bottom of the branches first. The
cutting depth should be between 1/3
and 1/2 of the branch thickness. This
prevents the bending of the branch.
Cut the branches at the end of the
stump with a straight cut.

Step 7: After completing steps 1-6,
the chainsaw is ready to be used as
you would an ordinary handheld
electric chainsaw.
should be notified 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.
1. NOTCHING UNDERCUT (A
NOTCH CUT IN A TREE TO
DIRECT THE FALL) Make the
notch 1/3 the diameter of the tree,
perpendicular to the direction of
the fall. Make the lower horizontal
notching cut.
2. FELLING BACK CUT (THE
FINAL CUT IN A TREE FELLING
OPERATION, MADE ON THE
OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE TREE
FROM THE NOTCHING
UNDERCUT)
HOLDING THE CHAINSAW
Always hold the chainsaw 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.
STARTING OPERATION
Start the machine. Press the lock
button first, then press the switch
trigger.
STOPPING OPERATION
Release the power switch trigger to
stop the chainsaw.
REBOUND
Rebound may occur when the saw
chain is jammed or hits a fixed
object in the wood.
BASIC FELLING, LIMBING, AND
CROSS-CUTTING TECHNIQUES
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

10
feedback@natitools.com
Make the felling back cut at least 2
in. 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 aluminum 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
Limbing is removing the branches
from a fallen tree. When limbing,
leave the larger lower limbs to
support the log. Remove the small
limbs in one cut. Branches under
tension should be cut from the
bottom up.
BUCKING A LOG
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths.
It is important to make sure your
footing is firm 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 finished cut by over bucking to
meet the first 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.

CLEANING, TRANSPORT
AND STORAGE
• Do not clean with aggressive
liquids.
• Store the machine in a dry and
safe place inaccessible to
children.
• Before transporting or storing
the chainsaw, protect the
bar/chain with the guard
supplied.
feedback@natitools.com
Chain lubrication
Before each job, please check the
efficiency of the chain lubrication
and test the oil level in the tank; do
not work without chain lubrication:
even a short use without
lubrication, would definitely
damage either the bar or the chain.
The efficiency of the oil flow can be
tested (with accelerated engine) by
keeping the tip of the bar near a
surface
BAR - Periodically clean the chain
run groove and the oil passages -
Lubricate the sprocket wheel with
bearing grease.
• Reverse the bar on the occasion
of every maintenance operation to
ensure more uniform wear. In case
of chain / bar replacement, please
use original spare parts only; the
type of bar and chain originally
supplied with the chain saw has
been tested and certificated
according to the existing laws,
particularly in order to limit any kick
back danger; therefore using non
original bar and chain can be very
dangerous for the user. The brand
and type of bar andchain are
indicated on the technical data
table.
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance and sharpening
• When the chain is properly
sharpened, the work is not tiring, the
cutting yield is high, and there is no
abnormal wear on the mechanical
parts or the bar
• Before sharpening, the chain must
be made taught by means of the
chain tensioner
• After sharpening, slacken the chain
as per the mounting instructions.
• During sharpening, lock the chain,
using the brake.
• Sharpen by filing from the inside
outwards ( Fig A, part 5 ) all the
teeth on one side and then all the
teeth on the other
•Position the blade in such a way
that it projects about 1mm ( Fig A,
part 4 ) above the level of the cutting
edges
