Operating instructions
This power tool is supplied from single-phase alternat-
ing current mains only. It is double insulated according
to EN 60745 and IEC 60745 and can be connected to
grounded or not grounded sockets. This power tool is ra
-
dio suppressed in compliance with EMC Directive.
The chain saw is designed for cutting wood (trees,
planks, laths, etc.).
PRIOR TO INITIAL OPERATION
Make sure the power supply voltage corresponds to
the value indicated on the name plate with technical
data of the power tool.
Make sure that the cord and the plug are in order. If the
replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has
to be done by the manufacturer or his agent in order
to avoid a safety hazard.
WARNING: switch off and unplug the power
tool prior to any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
In case the work area is remote from the power
source, use as short as practicable extension cord
with proper cross-section. (1,5 mm
2
for extension
cords shorter than 25 m; 2,5 mm
2
or extension cords
long 25 m to 40 m).
Use extension cords for outdoor use and marked
accordingly. Always fully unwind the extension cord
drum.
It is recommended when operating outdoors and in
premises with high humidity to use a residual current
device (RCD) with a tripping current not exceeding
30 mA.
STARTING THE CHAIN SAW
1. Make sure the safety chain brake lever (1) is disen-
gaged. The motor will not start if the chain brake is
in the engaged position. Disengage the chain brake
lever by pulling it backward toward the front handle
(Fig.7A)
2. An extension cord hook (7) is built-in the back han-
dle preventing extraction of the cord. To use this fea-
ture, simple double the extension cord, about 30 cm
from the end, and insert it into the hole of the handle.
Hook the loop formed by doubling the cord over the
cord hook. Gently tug on the cord to ensure that it
is irmly retained in the handle. Plug the receptacle
end of the extension cord into the tool power supply
cord.

the switch trigger (4) and hold in this position.
The safety lock-off button can be released now.
(Fig.7B,C).
NOTE: It is not necessary to maintain pressure on the
lock-off button (3) once the switch trigger is squeezed
and the motor is running. The safety lock-off button (3) is
a safety device to avoid accidental starting.
STOPPING THE CHAIN SAW
The chain saw will stop automatically when the switch
trigger (4) is released. To restart the motor press the
safety lock-off button (3) and squeeze the switch trigger
(4).
CHAIN BRAKE FUNCTIONAL TEST
The chain brake is a safety mechanism actuated through
the front hand guard. When kickback occurs, chain stops
immediately.
The functional test should be carried out at regular in
-
tervals to ensure it proper operation. The purpose of the
chain brake testing is to reduce the probability of injury
due to kickback.
Check the chain brake before starting to operate the
saw, after prolonged period of operation and always dur-
ing maintenance.
NOTE: The motor will not start if the chain brake is in the
engaged position.
CAUTION! The chain brake should not be used for start
-
ing and stopping the saw during normal operation.
1. Make sure the safety chain brake lever is disen-
gaged. (Fig.7A)
2. Place the chain saw on any suitable lat surface.
3. Plug the machine into the supply source.
4. Grasp the front handle with your left hand (do not
hold the chain brake). Thumb and ingers should
encircle the handle.
5. Grasp the rear handle with your right hand. Thumb
and ingers should encircle the handle;.
