OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction
book carefully.
Intended use
The chainsaw is intended for sawing of trees, tree trunks,
branches, wooden beams, planks, etc. Cuts can be sawed
with or across the grain. This product is not suitable for
sawing mineral materials.
ASSEMBLY
WARNING: Do not install the battery pack before
it has been completely assembled.
Always use gloves when handling the chain.
CHAIN AND GUIDE BAR ASSEMBLY
1. Unpack all parts carefully. Remove the chain cover
by turning the chain tensioning knob in a counter-
clockwise direction. (See Fig. A1, A2)
2. Place the chainsaw on a solid, level surface.
3. Use only genuine WESCO chains or those
recommended for Guide Bar.
4. Slide the chain in the slot around the guide bar.
Ensure the chain is in correct running direction by
comparing it to the chain icon on the guide bar, or
referring to the chain direction symbol found on the saw
body. Ensure the bar tensioning plate is facing outward.
(See Fig. A3)
5. Fit the chain onto the drive sprocket, so that the
fastening bar hole and the two bar locating tabs on the
bar pad fit into the keyway of the opening on the guide
bar. (See Fig. A4, A5)
6. Assure all parts are seated properly and hold chain
and guide bar in a level position. Make sure the drive
links are fully seated in the drive sprocket (See Fig. B1),
avoiding a kink as shown in Fig. B2. If kink occurs, pick
up on the chain at the guide bar just ahead of the kink
and then pull the kink out.
NOTE: Chain should rotate freely and be free of kinks.
7. Fit the chain cover and tighten the chain cover by
turning the chain tensioning knob clockwise until it is
tight. (See Fig. C)
8. The chain will stretch while cutting and lose proper
tension. When the chain becomes loose, completely
unscrew the chain tensioning knob or turn the knob
around three (3) full turns in a counter-clockwise
direction, then retighten the chain tensioning knob to
properly reset the chain tension by repeating Steps 6-7
listed above.
TENSIONING CHAIN
NOTE:
New saw chains will stretch. Check the chain
tension frequently during first use, and tighten when
the chain becomes loose around the guide bar.
WARNING:
• Remove the battery pack before adjusting saw
chain tension.
• Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use protective
gloves when handling chain.
• Maintain proper chain tension always. A loose
chain will increase the risk of kickback. A loose
chain may jump out of guide bar groove. This may
injure operator and damage chain. A loose chain
will cause chain, bar, and sprocket to wear rapidly.
LUBRICATION (SEE FIG. D)
Important: The chainsaw is not filled with oil. It
is essential to fill with oil before use. Never
operate the chainsaw without chain oil or at an
empty oil tank level, as this will result in extensive
damage to the product.
NOTE:
Chain life and cutting capacity depend
on optimum lubrication. Therefore, the chain is
automatically oiled during operation.
Filling oil tank:
WARNING: Remove the battery pack before
filling the oil tank.
1) Set chainsaw on any suitable surface with oil filler
cap facing upward.
2) Clean area around the oil filler cap with a cloth, and
unscrew the cap by turning it counter-clockwise.
3) Add chain oil until tank is full.
4) Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank. Refit oil filler
cap and tighten by turning clockwise until hand tight.
