General Safety Rules
WARNING: Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints;
• Crystalline silica from bricks and
cement and other masonry products;
and
• Arsenic and chromium from
chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated
area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks

b) 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.
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
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply. Use of an GFCI
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

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
EPUIFKPCCFUUFSBOETBGFSBUUIFSBUFGPS
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 the power tool. 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 and in the manner
intended for the particular type of
power tool, 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
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
RVBMJªFESFQBJSQFSTPOVTJOHPOMZ
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
CHAINSAW SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Keep all parts of the body away from
the saw chain when the chainsaw
is operating. Before you start the
chainsaw, make sure the saw chain
is not contacting anything. A moment
of inattention while operating chainsaws
may cause entanglement of your clothing
or body with the saw chain.
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

3. Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces only, because the
saw chain may contact hidden wiring
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

or its own cord. Saw chains contacting
a live wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool live and could
give the operator an electric shock.
4. Wear safety glasses and hearing
protection. Further protective
equipment for head, hands, legs
and feet is recommended. Adequate
protective clothing will reduce personal
JOKVSZCZ«ZJOHEFCSJTPSBDDJEFOUBM
contact with the saw chain.
5. Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree.

USFFNBZSFTVMUJOQFSTPOBMJOKVSZ
6. Always keep proper footing and
operate the chainsaw only when

surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces
such as ladders may cause a loss of
balance or control of the chainsaw.
7. When cutting a limb that is under
tension be alert for spring back. When
UIFUFOTJPOJOUIFXPPEªCSFTJTSFMFBTFE
the spring-loaded limb may strike the
operator and/or throw the chainsaw out
of control.
8. Use extreme caution when cutting
brush and saplings. The slender
material may catch the saw chain and
be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
9. Carry the chainsaw by the front
handle with the chainsaw switched
off and away from your body. When
transporting or storing the chainsaw
always apply the guide bar cover.
Proper handling of the chainsaw will
reduce the likelihood of accidental
contact with the moving saw chain.
10. Follow instructions for lubricating,
chain tensioning and changing
accessories. Improperly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.
11. Keep handles dry, clean, and free
from oil and grease. Greasy, oily
handles are slippery causing loss of
control.
12. Cut wood only. 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.
13. The use of a residual current device with
a tripping current of 30 mA or less is
recommended.
CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION
OF KICKBACK
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of
UIFHVJEFCBSUPVDIFTBOPCKFDUPSXIFOUIF
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

ªOHFSTFODJSDMJOHUIFDIBJOTBX
handles, 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.
- Do not overreach and do not cut
above shoulder height. This helps
prevent unintended tip contact and
enables better control of the chainsaw in
unexpected situations.
- Only use replacement bars and
DIBJOTTQFDJªFECZUIFNBOVGBDUVSFS
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.
SAFETY RULES FOR EXTENSION CORD
Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord,
be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An
undersized extension cord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord. To reduce the
risk of disconnection of appliance cord from
the extension cord during operation:
I) Make a knot as shown in Figure 1; or
II) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining
straps or connectors described in this
manual.

Instructions concerning the proper
techniques for basic felling, limbing, and
cross-cutting.
1. Felling a tree
When bucking and felling operations are
being performed by two or more persons at
the same time, the felling operations 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 company
TIPVMECFOPUJªFEJNNFEJBUFMZ
The chainsaw 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 as illustrated in Figure 2.
Before felling is started, consider the natural
lean of the tree, the location of larger
CSBODIFTBOEUIFXJOEEJSFDUJPOUPKVEHF
which way the tree will fall.
Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails,
staples and wire from the tree.
2. Notching undercut
Make the notch 1/3 the diameter of the
tree, perpendicular to the direction of falls
as illustrated in Figure 2. Make the lower
IPSJ[POUBMOPUDIJOHDVU8ªSTU5IJTXJMM
help to avoid pinching either the saw chain
or the guide bar when the second notch (X)
is being made.
3. Felling back cut
Make the felling back cut (Y) at least 2” (5
cm) higher than the horizontal notching cut
as illustrated in Figure 2. Keep the felling
back cut parallel to the horizontal notching
cut. 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 (Z) to open the cut and drop
the tree along the desired line of fall ( ).
When the tree begins to fall, remove the
chainsaw from the cut, stop the motor, put
the chainsaw down, then use the retreat path
planned ( ). Be alert for overhead limbs
falling and watch your footing.

4. Limbing a tree
Limbing is removing the branches from
a fallen tree. When limbing, leave larger
lower limbs to support the log off the
ground. Remove the small limbs in one cut
as illustrated in Figure 3. Branches under
tension should be cut from the bottom up to
avoid binding the chainsaw.

5. Bucking a log
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is
JNQPSUBOUUPNBLFTVSFZPVSGPPUJOHJTªSN
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 directions
for easy cutting.
When the log is supported along its entire
length as illustrated in Figure 4, it is cut
from the top (overbuck) , avoid contacting
ground as this will greatly reduce the chain
sharpness.

When the log is supported on one end, as
illustrated in Figure 5, cut 1/3 the diameter
from the underside (underbuck) (1). Then

complete control release the cutting
pressure near the end of the cut without
relaxing your grip on the chainsaw handles.
Don’t let the chain contact the ground. After
completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to
stop before you move the chainsaw. Always
stop the motor before moving from tree to
tree.

initial operation, new chains can lengthen considerably.
!WARNING: Unplug chainsaw from power source before adjusting saw chain
tension.
!WARNING: Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use protective gloves when handling
chain.
!WARNING: ALWAYS maintain proper chain tension. A loose chain will increase the
risk of kickback. A loose chain may jump out of guide bar groove and injure operator
and damage chain. A loose chain will cause chain, chain bar, and sprocket to wear

become over tensioned when it cools down.

chain tension will be reached automatically. The ratchet mechanism prevents the chain
tension from loosening.
3. The correct chain tension is reached when the chain can be raised approximately 1/8 to
1/4” (3 to 6 mm) from the chain bar in the centre. This should be done by using one hand to
raise the chain against the weight of the machine. (See Fig. D3)

as this will result in extensive damage to the product.
Chain life and cutting capacity depend on optimum lubrication. Therefore, the chain is
automatically oiled during operation via oil outlet.

It is important to use only the recommended oil to avoid damage to the chainsaw. Never
use recycled/old oil. Use of non-approved oil will invalidate the warranty.
OPERATION
1. ATTACHING EXTENSION CORD
1) Remove plug safety cap as shown (See Fig. F1). Insert extension cord socket into
chainsaw’s plug (See Fig. F2).
2) An extension cord retainer is attached to the handle to reduce strain on the cord. To use
this feature, simply double the extension cord as shown, about 12” (30 cm) from the end,
and insert it into the end of the retainer. Place the loop formed by doubling the cord over

2. SWITCHING ON AND OFF (See Fig. G)
!Attention: Check the voltage and current supply: The voltage and current supply
must comply with the ratings on the type plate.
1) To switch the chainsaw on, press the lock-off button (3), then fully press the on/off switch
(2) and hold in this position. The lock-off button (3) can now be released.
2) To switch the chainsaw off, release the on/off switch (2).
Do not stop chainsaw after sawing by activating the front hand guard (manual chain brake).
3. THE CHAIN BREAK (BUILT-IN, MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC AND SYSTEMS) (See Fig. H)
The manual chain brake is a safety mechanism activated through the front hand guard
(6) when kickback occurs. Chain stops immediately.
The following function check should be carried out at regular intervals.
1) MANUAL CHAIN BRAKE: push front hand guard forward (position 2) and try starting the
chainsaw. The chain must not start. To deactivate the kickback brake, pull hand guard
backwards (position 1), and release on/off switch. (See component list for on/off switch
location.)
2) AUTOMATIC CHAIN BRAKE: release the on/off switch to activate chain brake
AUTOMATICALLY.
