WARNING!
For your safety and the safety of others make sure that you have
read and understood all of the safety warnings on pages 4 to 10
before continuing with this section.
1. CHECKING THE CHAIN SAW
Remove the chain saw from the packaging, if there are any signs of damage,
please return your chain saw to the place of purchase.
2. FILLING THE CHAIN SAW WITH OIL
WARNING!
Ensure that the chainsaw is disconnected from the mains supply
during all checks and adjustments in this section.
CAUTION!
You must only use a chain oil with your chain saw. Using different oil
may cause damage to your chain saw and invalidate your warranty.
To fill the chain saw with oil, proceed as follows.
1
Place the chain saw on a stable, level
surface.
2
Remove the oil filler cap, by twisting in
an anticlockwise direction.

Using a funnel, fill the oil tank, with
chain saw oil (supplied). The oil tank
will hold 135cc of chain oil, enough to
lubricate the chain for 12-15 minutes
of sawing.

NOTE:
Before cutting completely through the trunk, use wooden or
plastic wedges, to prevent binding the bar or chain in the cut.
Wedges will also help the felling direction. See diagram
below.
WARNING!
Before making the final cut, always recheck the area is clear of
bystanders, animals or obstacles.
Once the wedges have been put into place, the felling cut can continue
through the remainder of the trunk.
WARNING!
As the final cut gets close to the hinge, the tree will begin to fall.
Carefully remove the chain saw from the cut, turn off and put the
chain saw down and leave the area along the planned retreat path.
WARNING!
Do not re-enter the area until the tree has fallen and the area is safe.
