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 a 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 o-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 and clothing 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.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
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 o. 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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.

SAFETY
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
-WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below 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.

CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
• 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 your left hand on the front
handle. Holding 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 saw 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, hand, 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 chain saw in a tree. Operation of a
chain saw while up in a tree may result in personal injury.
• Always keep proper footing and operate the chain
saw 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 toward you or pull you o balance.
• Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the
chain saw switched o 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. Don’t use chain saw for purposes
not intended (e.g. do not use chain saw for cutting
plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials).
Use of the chain saw for operations dierent 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
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may aect 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 dierent
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
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 battery 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.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modied. Damaged or modied batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in re, explosion or risk
of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or
excessive temperature. Exposure to re or temperature
above 130°C may cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specied in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the specied range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of re.
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.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.

! read the safety warnings and instructions
provided with the charger
• Removing/installing the battery 1
-2 battery packs need to be installed
• Battery protection
The tool is suddenly being switched o or prevented from
being switched on, when
-the load is too high --> remove load and restart
-the battery temperature is not within the allowable
operating temperature range of -20 to +50°C --> 2
levels of the battery level indicator start ashing when
pressing button 9b; wait until battery has returned
within the allowable operating temperature range
-the battery is nearly empty (to protect against
deep discharge) --> a low battery level or ashing low
battery level 9c is shown by the battery level indicator
when pressing button; charge battery
! do not continue to press the on/o switch after the
tool is switched o automatically; battery may be
damaged
• Tensioning chain q
! remove battery from tool
-place the chain saw on any suitable at surface
-check if the chain links are correctly located in the slot
around chain bar
1. loosen locking knob until it is just holding
chain bar in position (do not remove)
2. lift the chain bar somewhat and hold it in that position
3. turn chain tensioning knob upwards
until the lowest chain links come up and
JUST touch the bottom of chain bar
• 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 over reach 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)
PERSONAL SAFETY
• It is recommended that the rst time user should have
practical instruction in the use of the chain saw and the
protective equipment from an experienced operator and
that the initial practice should be cutting logs on a saw
horse or cradle

-use the gripping teeth as a leverage point (✱) while
cutting ta
-reset the gripping teeth at a lower point when sawing
thicker logs by pulling the chain saw slightly backwards
until the gripping teeth release, and reposition at a
lower level to continue sawing; do not remove the saw
completely from the wood
-do not force the chain while cutting; let the chain do the
work, using gripping teeth to apply minimum leverage
pressure
-use the chain saw only with secure footing
-hold the chain saw at the right-hand side of your body
tb
-do not operate the chain saw with arms fully extended
or attempt to saw areas which are dicult to reach, or
on a ladder tc
-never use the chain saw above shoulder height td
-sawing is optimized when the chain speed remains
steady during cutting
! beware when reaching the end of the cut; the
weight of the saw may change unexpectedly as it
cuts free from the wood (accidents may occur to
legs and feet)
! always remove the saw from a wood cut while the
saw is running
• Cutting logs
-support logs so that the face sides at the cut do not
close in against each other, which would result in the
chain being jammed or pinched
-position and set short logs safely prior to sawing
-when sawing, always take care to avoid hitting stones,
nails, etc., as these could be thrown up or cause
damage to the chain or serious injury to the operator or
bystanders
! keep a running chain clear of wire fencing or the
ground
-length cuts must be carried out with care, as leverage
with gripping teeth 1 is not possible; saw at a at angle
to avoid kickback
-there is a high risk of accidents when sawing wood,
branch or trees under tension; be extremely careful
(leave saw jobs like these to professionalsl)
• Bucking a log (cutting a log into lengths)
-when possible, the log should be raised and supported
by the use of limbs, logs or chocks
-it is important to make sure your footing is rm and your
weight is evenly distributed on both feet
-when the log is supported along its entire length as
illustrated, it is cut from the top (overbuck) ya
-when the log is supported on one end as illustrated,
cut 1/3 the diameter from the underside (underbuck);
then make the nished cut by overbucking to meet the
rst cut yb
-when the log is supported on both ends as illustrated,
cut 1/3 the diameter from the top (overbuck); then make
the nished cut by underbucking the lower 2/3 to meet
the rst cut yc
-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
4. tighten locking knob by turning it clockwise
5. release chain bar
6. the correct chain tension is reached
when the chain can be raised approx. 4
mm from the chain bar in the centre
! always check the chain tension before use, after
the rst cuts and regularly during use (approx.
every 10 minutes)
-upon initial operation, new chains can lengthen
considerably
-the chain life of the saw chain mainly depends upon
sucient lubrication and correct tensioning
-avoid tensioning the chain if it is hot, as this will cause
the chain to become overtensioned when it cools down
• Lubrication w
Chain life and cutting capacity depend on optimum
lubrication; therefore the chain is automatically oiled
during operation via oil outlet 1
! the chain saw is not supplied lled with oil; it is
essential to ll with oil before use
! never operate the chain saw without chain oil or
at an empty oil reservoir level, as this will result in
extensive damage to the product
-set chain saw on any suitable surface with oil reservoir
cap facing upward
-unscrew cap and add chain saw oil (not included) until
reservoir is full
-avoid dirt or debris entering oil reservoir
-mount oil reservoir cap and tighten
! check oil level prior to starting and regularly
during operation; rell oil when oil level is below
indicator
-the oil reservoir lling will last approx. 15 minutes,
depending on sawing intensity and stops
-never use recycled/old oil
• On/o e
-switch on tool by rst pressing safety switch and then
pulling trigger switch
-switch o the tool by releasing trigger
! do not stop chain saw after sawing by activating
front hand guard 1(= kickback brake)
• Kickback brake r
The kickback brake is a safety mechanism activated
through front hand guard, when kickback occurs -> chain
stops immediately
The following function check should be carried out at
regular intervals:
-push front hand guard forward and start the chain saw
-> the chain must not start
-to deactivate the kickback brake, release trigger switch
and pull hand guard backwards
• Operating the tool
-always hold the chain saw rmly with both hands (front
handle with the left hand and rear handle with the right
hand); never operate chain saw using only one hand ta
-ensure power cord is located to the rear, away from
the chain and wood and so positioned that it will not be
caught on branches or the like during cutting
! the chain must be running at full speed before it
makes contact with the wood
-use metal gripping teeth to secure the saw onto the
wood before starting to cut ta

14
• Limbing a tree i
Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen tree
-when limbing leave larger lower limbs to support the log
o the ground
-remove the small limbs in one cut as illustrated
-branches under tension should be cut from the bottom
up to avoid binding the chain saw
MAINTENANCE / SERVICE
• This tool is not intended for professional use
• Always keep tool clean (especially ventilation slots 1)
! remove battery from tool before cleaning
-clean the moulded plastic housing of the chain saw
using a soft brush and clean cloth (do not use water,
solvents or polishes)
-remove and brush clean the cover plate, chain and
chain bar after 1 to 3 hours of use
-clean the area under cover plate, drive sprocket and
chain bar assembly using a soft brush and clean cloth
-clean oil outlet with a clean cloth
• Regularly check for obvious defects such as loose,
dislodged or damaged chain and chain bar, loose xings,
and worn or damaged components
• Carry out necessary maintenance and repairs before
using the chain saw
• Proper functioning of the automatic oiler can be checked
by running the chain saw and pointing the tip of the chain
bar towards a piece of cardboard or paper on the ground
! do not touch the ground with the chain (ensure
safety clearance of 20 cm)
-if an increasing oil pattern developes, the automatic
oiler is operating ne
-if there is no oil pattern, despite a full oil reservoir, see
“TROUBLESHOOTING” or contact your dealer
• IStorage o
-if the chain saw is to be stored for a longer period of
time, clean chain and chain bar
-when storing tool, the oil reservoir must be completely
emptied
-use chain guard when storing the tool
-securely mount storage rail Y on the wall with 2 screws
(not supplied) and horizontally leveled
-make sure that hook is mounted together with rail
-store the tool by hanging it on the storage hook
-be aware of oil leakage when using storage hook
-store the tool indoors in a dry and locked-up place, out
of reach of children
TROUBLESHOOTING
• The following listing shows problem symptoms, possible
causes and corrective actions (if these do not identify
and correct the problem, contact your dealer or service
station)
! in case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch o the tool and remove battery
Tool does not operate
-kickback brake is activated -> pull hand guard 1back
in position
-empty battery -> charge battery
-hot battery -> let battery cool down
-internal fault -> contact dealer/service station
! 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
• Felling trees u
! the chain saw can only be used to fell trees
smaller in diameter than the length of the chain
bar
! secure work area; ensure no persons or animals
are in the vicinity of the falling tree
! never attempt to free a jammed saw with the motor
running; use wooden wedges to free chain and
chain bar
! always wear hard hat to protect head against
falling branches
BEFORE FELLING:
-when cutting and felling operations are being
performed by two or more persons at the same time,
the felling operations should be separated from the
cutting 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 company should be noti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) ua
-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, staples and wire
from the tree
FELLING PROCEDURE:
-make the notch (1 – 2) 1/3 the diameter of the tree,
perpendicular to the direction of falls as illustrated ub
-make the lower horizontal notching cut rst (this will
help to avoid pinching either the saw chain or the guide
bar when the second notch is being made)
-make the felling back cut (3) at least 50 mm higher than
the horizontal notching cut (keep the felling back cut
parallel to the horizontal notching cut) ub
-make the felling back cut so enough wood is left 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 gets close to the hinge the tree should
begin to fall
-if there is any chance that the tree may not fall in
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 uc
-when the tree begins to fall remove the chain saw from
the cut, stop the motor, put the chain saw down, then
use the retreat path planned (be alert for overhead
limbs falling and watch your footing)
