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 intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained
.

Unpacking
Caution! This packaging contains sharp objects. Take
care when unpacking. Remove the machine, together
with the accessories supplied, from the packaging.
Check carefully to ensure that the machine is in good
condition and account for all the accessories listed in

are complete. If any parts are found to be missing, the
machine and its accessories should be returned
together in their original packaging to the retailer.
Do not throw the packaging away, keep it safe

the risk of suffocation.
Assembly Instructions. (Fig 2 to 5)
warning! Always ensure that the chainsaw is
disconnected from the mains supply before carrying
out any maintenance, cleaning, cutting chain
sharpening, cutting chain replacement or any
adjustments.
Remove the drive sprocket cover (Pic2) (2.1) by
unscrewing the guide bar securing nut (Pic.2) (2.2).
Position the chain tension screw pin to the far left of
the slot (Pic.3) (3.1).
With the guide bar held vertically, locate the cutting
chain over the nose of the guide bar ensuring that the
cutting chain teeth are facing the correct way and that
the cutting chain is correctly located in the groove in
the guide bar (Pic.4) (4.1). Maintaining tension on the
cutting chain ease the cutting chain guide bar over the
securing studs
(Pic.5) (5.1) and the cutting chain over the drive
sprocket (Pic.5) (5.2). When the guide bar and the
cutting chain are correctly located ensure that he
cutting chain tension pin is correctly located in the hole
in the guide bar (Pic.5) (5.3). Replace the drive sprocket
cover plate and secure with the guide plate securing
nut (Pic.2) (2.2).
Cutting Chain Tensioning (Pic.6)
The cutting chain is correctly tensioned when it is
possible to raise it 3-4mm in the centre of the guide
bar (Pic.6) (6.1). If the cutting chain requires tensioning,
slacken the two guide bar securing nuts and adjust the
tension using the tension adjusting screw (Pic.2) (2.3).
When the correct tension is achieved re-tighten the
guide bar securing nut. (Pic.2) (2.2).
warning! If the cutting chain tension is too slack the
cutting chain could jump off the guide bar causing
injury.
If the cutting chain tension is too tight excessive wear
will take place on the guide bar and the cutting chain
could snap causing injury.
Filling The Oil Reservoir (Pic.7)
Remove the oil filler cap (Pic.7) (7.1) and fill the oil
reservoir with the oil provided. The oil level must never
fall below the minimum level indicator (Pic.7) (7.2). Only
use high quality cutting chain oil.
Do not allow sawdust or wood debris into the oil
reservoir, this will clog the lubrication system.
Note: Under normal operating conditions a full oil
reservoir should give between 15 and 40 minutes of
operation before re-filling is required.
warning! The chainsaw must never be run without
cutting chain lubrication, this will quickly damage the
cutting chain and the guide bar and will invalidate the
warranty.
