Caution! The oil tank level should be frequently checked during operation to avoid
starving the bar and chain of lubrication.

Note:

Your chain saw is equipped with an Automatic Oiler system and is the only source of

lubrication for the bar and chain (Fig. 6)

To start the saw

1. Make sure the chain brake is

disengaged whilst in a forward
position. The motor will not start if the
chain brake is in the engaged
position. Disengage the chain brake
by pulling backward toward the
motor (Fig. 7A).

Warning! Ensure the extension
cord is of the proper size and
type for your saw (

≥

1,5 mm

)

An extension cord retainer is built into the switch handle that prevents the extension cord
from pulling out of the handle. To use this feature, simply double the extension cord, about
a foot from the end, and insert it into the end of the handle. Hook the loop formed by
doubling the cords over the tab. Gently tug on the cord to ensure that it is firmly retained in
the saws handle. Plug the receptacle end of the extension cord into the tool’s power
supply cord. (Fig. 7B)

Grip the saw with both hands, left hand holding the front /handle (do not hold chain brake)
and the right hand holding the rear handle. Thumbs and fingers should encircle both
handles (Fig. 7C).

With your Right thumb, push the Lock/Off button (C) forward at end the top of the rear
handle, and at the same time squeeze the trigger. To stop the saw, release the trigger (Fig.
7D).

Note:

It is not necessary to maintain pressure on the Lock/Off button once the trigger is

squeezed and the motor is running. The lock / off button is a safety device to avoid accidental
starting.

To stop the motor

The saw motor will automatically stop when the trigger is released. The lock/ off button will
have to be depressed and the trigger squeezed to restart the motor.

Felling atree

Note:

Direction of fall (B) is controlled by the notching

cut. Before any cuts are made, consider the location of
larger branches and natural lean of the tree to
determine the way the tree will fall.

Warning! Do not cut down a tree during
high or changing winds or if there is a
danger to property. Consult a tree
professional. Do not cut down a tree if
there is a danger of striking utility wires;
notify the utility company before making
any cuts.

General guidelines for felling trees

Normally felling consists of 2 main cutting operations,
notching (C) and making the felling cut (D). Start
making the upper notch cut (C) on the side of the tree
facing the felling direction (E). Be sure you don’t make
the lower cut too deep into the trunk. The notch (C)
should be deep enough to create a hinge (F) of
sufficient width and strength. The notch should be
wide enough to direct the fall of the tree for as long as
possible.

Warning! Never walk in front of a tree that has been notched. Make the felling cut
(D) from the other side of the tree and 3-5cm above the edge of the notch (C) (Fig.
10B).

Warning! Don’t use the saw above shoulder-height, because of difficult handling of
the chainsaw which can cause serious injury. Take care of a stable position so you
have good control on the chain saw.

Never saw completely through the trunk. Always leave a hinge. The hinge guides the tree. If the
trunk is completely cut through, control over the felling direction is lost. Insert a wedge or
felling lever in the cut well before the tree becomes unstable and starts to move. This will
prevent the guide bar from binding in the felling cut if you have misjudged the falling direction.
Make sure no bystanders have entered the range of the falling tree before you push it over.
