SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
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, gloves, 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, 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.
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.

16. Do not disassemble charger. This may result in a risk of
electric shock, electrocution or re.
17. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from
the outlet before attempting any cleaning. Removing the
battery pack will not reduce this risk.
18. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery charger near
vapours and inammable liquids.
• 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 chain saw in a tree, on
a ladder, from a rooftop, or any unstable
support. Operation of a chain saw in this manner could
result in serious 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 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. 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.
• Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have
an understanding of the risks and how to
avoid them. Serious injury could occur to the operator
or bystanders while felling a tree.
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.
CHAINSAW SAFETY
WARNINGS
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.
WARNING! When servicing, use only
identical replacement parts. Use of any other
parts may create a hazard or cause product
damage. To ensure safety and reliability, all
repairs should be performed by a qualied
service technician.
WARNING! 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. Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
Cleaning
• Keep the handles free of grease so that you can
maintain a rm grip.
• Clean the device as required with a damp cloth and,
if necessary, mild washing up liquid.
• If the chainsaw is not to be used for an extended
period of time then you should remove the chain
oil from the tank. Briey immerse the chain and the
cutter rail in an oil bath and then wrap them in oil
paper.
• Ensure that the guide bar cover is in place when
storing.
Note: XU1 will not be responsible for any damage
or injuries caused by the repair of the tool by an
unauthorised person or by mishandling of the tool.
WARNING! Before cleaning your
chainsaw or carrying out any maintenance
procedure, make sure that the motor is

unsupervised while charging.
Switching On
1. Pull the chain brake towards you FIG. O.
2. Hold the front handle with your left hand and the
rear handle with your right hand. FIG P.
3. Press the lock-off button with your thumb, then
squeeze the trigger switch. The chainsaw starts
immediately FIG. Q.
4. The chain will now be running, ready to make a cut.
The lock-off switch can now be released.
Switching O󰀨
1. Release the trigger switch. The chain coasts for a
short time before stopping.
Chain Brake
The chainsaw is tted with a chain brake which when
operated brings the chain to a stop within a tenth of a
second FIG. R.
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 recoils 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.
Cutting
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.
Hints and Tips
• Do not force the saw into the cut. Apply only light
pressure whilst running the chain.
• If the saw chain gets caught in the cut, do not try to
remove it by twisting the guide bar or pulling forcibly.
Use a lever or wedge to open up the cut so that the
saw chain is freed.
• Keep your left arm with elbow locked in a “straight
arm” position to withstand any kickback force FIG. S.
• While cutting, always:
– Run the chainsaw motor at full speed. 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.
WARNING! First time users should, as a
minimum practise, cut logs on a saw-horse
or cradle.
WARNING! Felling a tree should only be
done by trained operators.
CUTTING
APPLICATIONS
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.

Limbing
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.
Bucking
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 FIG. .
Pruning
WARNING! Always keep a balanced
stance. Do not stand on the log. Be alert
to the fact that the log may roll over. When
working on a slop, always stand on the up hill
side of the log.
WARNING! Avoid cutting into the ground
as this will very quickly dull the saw chain.
WARNING! Do not use an unstable
foothold or ladder. Do not overreach. Do not
saw above shoulder height. First cut up from
the bottom and nish down from the top.
Pruning is the removal of a limb or branch from a
standing tree.
Adjusting the Chain Tension
1. Loosen the guide bar locking knob slightly, by rotating it in
an anti clockwise direction.
2. Using the supplied wrench adjust the chain tension screw
CLOCKWISE to increase chain tension. Turning screw
COUNTERCLOCKWISE will decrease amount of tension
on the chain. Adjust the chain tension screw for the correct
tension FIG. G.
For the correct chain tension, pull up on the chain from the
top and middle of the exposed guide bar. The bottom tip of
the links should only just stay in the track FIG. H.
NOTE: 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 side cover lock.
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. 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.
Chain Sharpening
Chain File: 3.96mm (5/32”)
Chain Pitch: 9.53mm (3/8”)
Chain Gauge: 1.1mm (0.043”)
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 round 3.96mm (5/32”) chain le.
Keep the le level with the top plate of the tooth. 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 FIG. T.
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.
WARNING! Wear heavy gloves when
handling the chain. Hold the guide bar
securely in a vice.
