2. CHAIN BAR OIL 3. CHAIN BRAKE & CHOKE
OPERATION
Chain brake/Anti kickback guard
The chain brake operates automatically in the event of kick back.
Kick back occurs if the chain catches on the wood being cut. In the
event of the chain catching, the chainsaw will push back suddenly,
when this happens, your hand (which is on the side handle during
operation) will naturally move forward automatically causing the guard
to be pushed forward, engaging the chain brake and stopping the
chain.
CHOKE - When the
chainsaw is cold
rst pull out the
choke control to the
CHOKE position, (fully
withdrawn).
RUN - Once the choke
control has been
pulled out, it returns
automatically when
the throttle trigger is
operated
IMPORTANT!: DO NOT PUSH THE CHOKE IN
MANUALLY. THE CHOKE WILL AUTOMATICALLY
RETURN TO RUN POSITION WHEN THE THROTTLE
SAFETY LOCK AND TRIGGER ARE PRESSED.
Automatic oil feed system
The chainsaw is equipped with an automatic
oil feed system. This delivers oil to the bar and
chain.
Run the engine at medium speed and check
that the chain splatters a thin line of oil which
can be seen on the ground/material when the
bar is pointed downwards. This may take 15-30
seconds to occur.
Please refer to maintenance section overleaf
for detailed instructions on how to adjust the
automatic oil feed system if insufcient chain
bar oil is being applied to the chain.
WARNING!: NEVER START WORK UNLESS THE CHAIN
AND BAR ARE LUBICATED
NOTE: ONLY USE OIL THAT IS EXPRESSLY LABELLED
“CHAIN BAR OIL”

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.
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
• Increased fuel consumption
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.
Maintenance to be performed after each use

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.

APPLICATIONS MAINTENANCE
WARNING!: WEAR HEAVY GLOVES WHEN HANDLING
THE CHAIN. HOLD THE GUIDE BAR SECURELY IN A
VICE.
NOTE: BEFORE CLEANING YOUR CHAINSAW OR
CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE,
MAKE SURE THAT THE ENGINE IS OFF AND IS
COOL. DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG TO PREVENT
ACCIDENTAL STARTING
1. Loosen the lter cover
knob and remove the
lter cover.
2. Remove the air lter.
4. Re-assemble the two halves and replace the airlter, lter cover and
lter cover knob.
3. Split the air lter into its two
halves and clean the mesh.
Dry particles can be removed
by tapping on a hard surface.
More stubborn dirt may require
washing out the lter with petrol
or using an air compressor.
To maintain the guide bar:
5. Remove any saw dust from the groove in the guide
bar.
6. Make sure that the oil port is not clogged. Grease
the nose sprocket at the tip of the guide bar.
7. Check for fuel and oil leakage and loose fastenings,
especially those securing the handles and the
guide bar.
8. Clean any dust away from the cooling vents as
clogged vents can cause overheating.

HINTS & TIPS
• Do not force the saw into the cut. Apply only light pressure whilst running the
engine at full throttle.
• If the saw 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
saw 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.
Adjusting the carburettor
The carburettor is factory set and should not require adjustment.
Changes in operating conditions may require ne tuning of the carburettor. A
special tool is required for making these adjustments.

RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE
What can happen:
• Spilled petrol and its vapours can become ignited from cigarette sparks, electrical
arcing, exhaust gases and hot engine components such as the mufer.
• Heat will expand fuel in the tank which could result in a re.
• Operating the tool in an explosive environment could result in a re.
• Mufer exhaust heat can damage painted surfaces, melt any materials sensitive
to heat (such as siding plastic, rubber or vinyl) and damage live plants. Keep hot tool
away from other objects.
• Improperly stored fuel could lead to accidental ignition. Fuel improperly secured
could get into the hands of children or other unqualied persons.
How to prevent it:
• Shut off engine and allow it to cool before adding fuel to the tank.
• Use care when lling the tank to avoid spilling fuel. Move tool away from fuelling
area before starting engine.
• Keep maximum fuel level 20mm below top of tank to allow for expansion.
• Operate and refuel in well ventilated areas free from obstructions.
• Store fuel in a approved container (AS/NZS 2906-1999) for petrol. Store in a secure
location away from the work area. Make sure the container is clearly marked “fuel”.
RISK TO BREATHING
What can happen:
• Breathing exhaust fumes can cause serious injury or death.How to prevent it:
How to prevent it:
• Operate tool in a well ventilated area. Avoid enclosed areas.
• Never operate unit in a location occupied by other people or animals.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) Work area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate petrol 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 petrol tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating
a petrol tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. Amoment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as a
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the tool on. A wrench or a
key that is left attached to a rotating part of the petrol tool may result in personal injury.
d) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the petrol tool in unexpected situations.
e) 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.
f) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities ensure that these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices
can reduce dust-related hazards.
3) Petrol tool use and care
a) Do not force the petrol tool. Use the correct petrol tool for your application.
The correct petrol tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the petrol tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any petrol
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Turn tool off completely before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing petrol tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the petrol tool accidentally.hair can be caught in moving parts.
d) Store idle petrol tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the petrol tool or these instructions to operate the petrol tool.
Petrol tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain petrol tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the petrol tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the petrol tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
petrol tools.
f) Keep utting 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 petrol tool, accessories and tool bits etc., In accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of petrol tool,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the petrol tool for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
h) 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

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CHAINSAWS
Note: For safety reasons the chainsaw is shipped with the chain brake fully
engaged. This brake must be released before the saw becomes operational.
Never cut into the ground.
Never cut into wire fences.
Never cut into samplings.
Never cut into prepared wood.
Use the chainsaw to cut only wood.
It is advisable to provide a support for the chainsaw when cutting branches. Do not cut using the bar
point and beware of branches under tension.
Children under 18 must not use chainsaws.
Keep people away from the chainsaw when in use.
Check the following conditions before beginning work:
• There should be no people in the felling area.
• Make sure there is a second person within calling distance.
• The working area should be free from obstacles.
Wear suitable clothes which do not hinder movement.
Use specic protection during operations involving head, hands, feet, eyes and ears. It is
recommended the use of a helmet with a visor during felling, branch cutting
and chopping operations.
Wear gloves with an external protection when using the chainsaw. Use ear protection to prevent
hearing injuries.
Wear safety boots when using the chainsaw.
During transport the brake must be applied to avoid accidental start-up.
Do not use the chainsaw in rainy or windy conditions or in poor light.
Find a suitable position before beginning work.
When working on slopes, the saw operator must stand beside or above the wood to cut, i.e. felled
trees.
Use the chainsaw holding it rmly with both hands.
Make a wedge-shaped cut before felling the tree, then the felling cut leaving a hinge for the felling
direction.
Beware of any falling branches after felling operations.
Beware of wood splinters when cutting chopped wood.
Ensure your chainsaw is suitable for the job.
Never work above shoulder level or reach out to cut a branch: ensure you have stable footing at all
times.
Do not operate in a hazardous location. Such areas include where there is a risk of explosion of
petrol fumes, leaking gas or explosive dust.
Do not operate in a conned area. Exhaust gases, smoke or fumes could reach dangerous
concentrations.
Protect your tool. This chainsaw is NOT WEATHERPROOF and should not be exposedto direct
sunlight, high ambient temperatures, damp, wet or high humidity conditions for prolonged periods of
time.
Take care not to spill fuel. When refuelling the chainsaw ensure that the motor has been switched off.
Prevent the spilling of fuel as this may also ignite with the hot motor. Never refuel whilst the engine
running.
Be careful where you store the chainsaw. Store the tool in a dry area away from ammable liquids.
Keep your distance. The chainsaw emits exhaust fumes. Ensure bystanders keep a safe distance.
Operating instructions and instructions for common cutting tasks, including the use of personal
protection equipment are covered in this manual. This product has a need for adequate training which

smoke when lling fuel tank.
DANGER! BEWARE OF KICKBACK!
Warning! Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of control of the chainsaw and
result in serious or fatal injury to the operator or to anyone standing close by. Always be alert.
Rotational kickback and pinch kickback are major chainsaw operational dangers and the leading cause
of most accidents.
Kickback may occur when the tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and
pinches the saw chain.
If the bar tip or point contacts, it can produce a rapid reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and
back towards the operator. This is known as rotational kickback.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the
operator. This is known as pinch kickback.
Either of these reactions can cause loss of control of the saw, resulting in serious personal injury.
Do not rely exclusively on the safety devices built into your saw. Take the following steps to help avoid
accident or injury:
Reduce the element of surprise by understanding what causes kickback.
Keep a rm grip on the chainsaw using both hands, the right hand on the rear handle and the left hand
on the front handle when the motor is running. A rm grip will help maintain control. Do not let go whilst
the motor is running.
Make sure that the area of operation is free of obstructions. Do not let the point of the guide bar contact
a log, branch or any other object.
Use high speeds when cutting.
Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
Carefully follow the sharpening and maintenance instructions given in this manual.
Use only replacement bars and chains specied by the manufacturer.
