the chain tensioning adjustment knob
The tension is correct when the
chain can be pulled 3mm away
from the guide bar when using your
nger and thumb.
Do not over-tighten as this will
reduce the life of the chain and
guide bar.
7. After the chain has been accurately
tensioned, lock the guide bar in place
with the guide bar locking knob.
Tighten with rm nger force.
2. OIL
IMPORTANT: IT IS VITAL FOR THE PROPER AND SAFE
OPERATION OF THE CHAINSAW THAT THE CHAIN IS
TENSIONED CORRECTLY.
3mm gap is
the ideal tension
IMPORTANT: THE CHAIN SHOULD BE ADJUSTED
BEFORE FIRST USE, AGAIN AFTER 2-3 MINUTES OF
OPERATION AND RECHECKED AND ADJUSTED IF
NECESSARY AFTER EACH 30 MINUTES OF USE. TAKE
CARE NOT TO OVER TENSION THE CHAIN.
IMPORTANT: ONLY USE OIL THAT IS EXPRESSLY
LABELLED “CHAIN BAR OIL”.
WARNING!: NEVER START WORK UNLESS THE
CHAIN AND BAR ARE LUBRICATED.
1. Turn the chainsaw onto its side
and remove the chain oil tank cap.
3. Ret cap and clean any
oil spillage.
5. To check the lubricating system,
switch on the chainsaw and hold it
with the guide bar and chain above
some light coloured paper such as
newspaper. A steadily increasing
stain caused by oil spray shows the
lubricating system is working.
Chain bar oil may leak if the tool is
left for long periods. This is normal.
If the tool is to be left unused for an
extended time, drain the oil from
the tool. Rell before use.
4. Always ll the oil tank when the
oil level is below the minimum
mark on the oil level window.
2. Fill the tank with chain bar oil.
The capacity of the chain oil
tank is 85ml.

3. BATTERY & CHARGING
Charging your lithium ion battery
The chainsaw’s battery has been shipped in a low charge condition,
and requires charging prior to use. Allow several cycles of charging and
discharging (through use of the chainsaw) for the battery to reach its
optimum performance / runtime.
1. Connect the charger into a mains power outlet.
2. The charger LED will
illuminate red showing power
is being supplied to the
charger.
3. With the charger sitting at on a bench/
table, align the raised ribs on the battery
with the recess in the charger and
slide onto the charger ensuring a rm
connection.
4. The charger LED will ash green signifying
that the battery is charging.
5. The charger LED will stop ashing and
illuminate green once the battery is fully
charged. A battery takes up to 3 hours to
become fully charged.
CAUTION! IF THE BATTERY IS TOO HOT OR TOO
COLD WHEN INSERTED INTO THE CHARGER, THE
CHARGING LED WILL FLASH RED. CHARGING
WILL AUTOMATICALLY BEGIN ONCE THE BATTERY
REACHES TO CORRECT CHARGING TEMPERATURE.

charged.
Note: The battery needs to be removed from the chainsaw to check the
state of charge.
Battery protection system
The tool is equipped with the battery protection system, which helps to
ensure a long service life.
The output power automatically cuts off during operation when the tool
and/or battery are placed under the following situations:
• When the tool is overloaded:
If this occurs, release the trigger switch and remove causes of
overload, then pull the switch trigger again to restart.
• When the remaining battery capacity becomes low:
Recharge the battery pack.
Note: The battery protection system does not in any way damage the
tool.
Note: The indicated capacity may be lower than the actual level during
use or immediately after using the tool.
Inserting the battery pack
Align the raised ribs on the
battery with grooves on the
chainsaw. Slide the battery into
the chainsaw. Ensure the latch
on the bottom of the battery
clicks in place and that it is fully
seated and secure.
Removing the battery pack
1. Push in the battery release
button.
2. Lift the battery from its
position.

Chain brake
The chain brake operates automatically in the event of kick back.
The chainsaw is tted with a hand guard/chain brake which when
operated brings the chain to a stop within a tenth of a second.
The chain brake can be operated manually by pushing it forward or
automatically as a result of kickback.
Kickback occurs if the chain catches on the wood being cut and the
chainsaw pushes back suddenly.
In the event of kickback, your hand (which is on the front handle during
operation) jerks forward causing the back on your hand to push the
guard forward, engaging the chain brake and quickly stopping the chain.
Switching on
1. Pull the hand guard/chain
brake towards you. The
brake may be stiff and may
require to be moved with
some force.
2. Hold the front handle with
your left hand and the rear
handle with your right hand.
3. Press the lock-off button with
your thumb, then squeeze the
trigger switch. The chainsaw
starts after a short delay.
Switching off
1. Release the trigger switch. The
chain quickly stops but the motor
will take a short time to continue to
run down.
Running in the chain
Prior to operation, a new chain
should be run in for 2–3 minutes and then its tension should be
checked and adjusted as detailed in “MAINTENANCE”.

1. Press the bucking spikes
against the timber ensuring
the chain is not making
contact with the material
being cut.
2. Start cutting by holding the
chainsaw by the front handle
and raising the rear handle.
3. If you cannot cut the timber in a single stroke, apply light pressure
to the front handle and continue sawing, draw the chainsaw back
a little then apply the bucking spikes a little lower and nish the cut
by raising the rear handle.
4. Withdraw the chainsaw from the cut while the chain is still running.
CAUTION: FIRST TIME USERS SHOULD, AS A MINIMUM
PRACTISE, CUT LOGS ON A SAW-HORSE OR CRADLE
4. The chain will now be running,
ready to make a cut. Release
the lock-off switch.

6. GENERAL MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCEAPPLICATIONS
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths for
easier handling. To saw a log lying on the
ground, rst saw halfway, then roll the log
over and cut from the opposite side.
To saw the end of a log supported off the
ground, rst saw up from the bottom one-
third through the log then nish by sawing
down from the top. To saw a log in the
middle of two supports holding it off the ground, rst saw down from the
top one-third through the log then nish by sawing up from the bottom.
Limbing is the process of removing the
branches from a fallen tree. Check the
direction in which a branch will bend
before cutting it. Always cut on the
opposite side to the bending direction
so that the guide bar is not pinched in
the cut. For large limbs that cannot be
removed in one cut, make an initial cut from the bent side and nish
by sawing from the opposite direction. Do not remove limbs that are
supporting the fallen tree on the ground until the tree has been cut into
lengths.
Pruning is the removal of a limb or branch
from a standing tree.
Felling a tree
Decide the direction in which you wish
the tree to fall, taking into account the
direction of the wind, the position of
branches, lean of the tree, ease of
subsequent limbing and bucking and
other factors prevalent at the time.
WARNING!: FELLING A TREE SHOULD ONLY BE
DONE BY TRAINED OPERATORS.

Chain Sharpening
Chain File: 3.96mm (5/32”)
Chain Pitch: 9.53mm (3/8”)
Chain Gauge: 1.3mm (0.050”)
Sharpen the chain regularly to maintain optimum
performance of the saw. Signs of a dull chain are:
• The sawdust becomes powder-like
• Extra force is required to execute a cut
• The cut does not track in a straight line
• Increased vibration
Sharpen each cutter using a chain le. Always use outward strokes and
maintain a 30° angle between the chain and le. After sharpening, the
cutters must all have the same width and length.
After every 3–4 uses get an authorised repair centre to professionally
sharpen your chain. They have the special tools necessary to ensure
the correct cutting angles and depths.
Guide bar wear
Reverse the guide bar every 8 working hours to ensure uniform wear.
Check the guide rails frequently and if necessary remove burrs and
square up the rails using a at le.
WARNING!: BEFORE CLEANING YOUR CHAINSAW
OR CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURE, MAKE SURE THAT THE MOTOR IS OFF AND
THE BATTERY REMOVED TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL
STARTING.
30°
WARNING!: WEAR HEAVY GLOVES WHEN
HANDLING THE CHAIN. HOLD THE GUIDE BAR
SECURELY IN A VICE.
Adjusting the chain tension
1. Loosen the guide bar locking
knob slightly, by rotating it in
an anti clockwise direction.
The tension is correct when the
chain can be pulled 3mm away
from the guide bar when using
your nger and thumb.
Do not over-tighten as this will
reduce the life of the chain and
guide bar.
3. After the chain has been
accurately tensioned, lock the
guide bar in place with the guide bar locking knob.
Maintaining the guide bar
1. Remove any sawdust from the guide bar, including the groove.
Oil and sawdust combine and emit a burning smell during operation if
the blade is not regularly cleaned.
2. Make sure that the oil port is not clogged. Grease the nose sprocket
at the tip of the guide bar.
3. Check for oil leakage and loose fastenings, especially those securing
the handles and the guide bar.
4. Clean any dust away from the cooling vents as clogged vents can
cause overheating. By maintaining a clean unit you will extend the
useful life of the chain and the tool in general.
3mm gap is
the ideal tension
2. Adjust the tension of the chain
using the chain tensioning
adjustment knob. Turn clockwise
to tighten, anti-clockwise to loosen.

HINTS & TIPS
• Do not force the saw into the cut. Apply only light pressure whilst
running the engine at full throttle.
• If the chain gets caught in the cut, do not try to remove it by
twisting the guide or pulling forcibly. Use a lever or wedge to open
up the cut so that the chain is freed.
• While cutting, always:
– Run the chainsaw motor at full revs. This makes the job safer,
as there is less chance of pull-in or kick-back.
– Position your body to the left of the chainsaw so if it kicks back
uncontrollably, it goes over your right shoulder, never stand in
the cutting line of the saw.
– Keep a rm grip with your left hand on the front handle,
with your thumb securely below the handle.
• The swivel of your wrist in a kick-back situation will activate
the chain brake.
• Make sure the chain is tensioned correctly.

• 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.
• Always hold the chain saw with your right hand on the rear handle and you left hand on
the front handle. Hold the chain saw with a reversed hand conguration increases the risk of
personal injury and should never be done.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the chain may contact
hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
• 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
ying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
• Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree. Operation of a chainsaw while up in a tree may result in
personal injury
• Always keep proper footing and operate the chainsaw only when standing on xed, 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 bres 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
saw chain and be whipped towards you or pill 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 t the guide bar cover. Proper
handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw
chain.
• 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 non-wood 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 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 tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
• Maintain a rm grip, with thumbs and ngers 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.
• 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 specied 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 saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Recommendations for the use of a residual current device with a rated residual current of
30mA or less.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHAINSAWS
WARNING! When using mains-powered tools, basic safety precautions, including the
following, should always be followed to reduce risk of re, electric shock, personal injury
and material damage.
Read the whole manual carefully and make sure you know how to switch the tool off in an emergency, before
operating the tool.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future reference.
The electric motor has been designed for 230V and 240V only. Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Note: The supply of 230V and 240V on Ozito tools are interchangeable for Australia and New Zealand.
This tools charger is double insulated in accordance with AS/NZS 60745-1;
therefore no earth wire is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an electrician or a power tool repairer in order to avoid
a hazard.
Note: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating this tool. The
insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure
within the tool.
Using an Extension Lead
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power input of this tool. Before use, inspect the
extension lead for signs of damage, wear and ageing. Replace the extension lead if damaged or defective.
When using an extension lead on a reel, always unwind the lead completely. Use of an extension lead not
suitable for the power input of the tool or which is damaged or defective may result in a risk of re and electric
shock.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, we recommend the use of a residual current device (rated 30mA or less).
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, re 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 ammable
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. Unmodied 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 inuence 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
nger 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 hazardous situation.
5. Battery tool use and care
a. Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another batery pack.
b. Use power tools only with specically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and re.
c. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a re.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
