Chain brake / Anti kickback guard

The chain brake operates automatically in the event of kickback. As the guide bar (14) kicks
up, the wrist of the operator’s hand on the top handle (5) knocks against the front guard (6)
causing the front guard (6) to move forward and activate the chain brake. 

1. The chain brake can be engaged manually by

moving the front guard (6) forward. 

2. To release the chain brake, firmly pull the front

guard (6) towards the top handle (5) (as shown
on the right) until a “click” is heard.

Caution:

Check the chain brake is operating

correctly each time the chainsaw is used.

Bucking spikes

The chainsaw has bucking spikes (25) to assist with
cutting and reduce the chance of kickback, use them
as follows.

Keep the bucking spikes (25) touching the wood you
are cutting. Due to the rotation of the chain, it will
pull the saw into the wood. When the bucking spikes
(25) are touching the timber, it will help prevent any
sudden jerking or kick-back.

Operation

Warnings: 

Always follow the safety instructions given at the front of this manual. This
chainsaw must only be used for cutting wood. It must not be used for cutting other
types of material. Do not use the chainsaw as a lever for lifting, moving or 
splitting objects. 

Do not attach the chainsaw to a fixed stand. 

Do not attach any devices to the chainsaw other than those specified by 
the manufacturer.

Replacing the spark plug

When the chainsaw will not start when everything else has been checked, it is most
likely the spark plug that needs replacing. The spark plug is not covered under warrantly. 

To replace the spark plug:

1. Unscrew and remove the filter cover knob (7).

2. Remove the filler cover (8).

3. Pull the spark plug lead off the spark plug end.

4. Loosen (anti-clockwise) the spark plug using the

larger socket side of the double ended wrench
(15) provided.

5. Remove the spark plug and replace with a 

new one, as specified on page 2.
