OPERATION

1. SWITCHING ON AND OFF (SEE FIG. G)

Attention: Check the battery packs before 
using your cordless tool. Only use the battery 

pack listed in the accessories section.

For switching on the tool, press the lock-out button, then 
fully press the on/off switch and hold in this position. The 
lock-out button can now be released.
For switching off, release the on/off switch.  

NOTE:

 The chain brake must be activated in order for the 

saw to be switched on.

2. CHAIN BRAKE LEVER (SEE FIG. H)

The chain brake lever is a safety mechanism activated 
through the front hand guard, when kickback occurs. 
Chain stops immediately.
The following function check should be carried out at 
regular intervals. Pull the front hand guard towards 
the operator (position 1) to deactivate chain brake. 
To activate the chain brake, push front hand guard 
forwards (position 2). 

NOTE:

 If the saw is unable to start, even though it is 

assembled properly and working with fully charged 
battery packs, then you should check if the chain brake 
lever is in the correct position (position 1).

3. CUTTING

Important: Is the oil tank filled? Check the Oil 
Level Window prior to starting and regularly 

during operation. Refill oil when oil level is low. A full 
oil tank will last approx. 12 minutes of cutting 
depending on sawing intensity and stops.
Check recent replaced chain tension about every 10 
minutes during operation.

(1) Installing the battery pack into the machine.
(2) Make sure section of log to be cut is not laying on 
the ground. This will keep the chain from touching the 
ground as it cuts through the log. 
Touching the ground while the chain is moving is 
dangerous and will dull the chain.
(3) Use both hands to grip saw. Always use left hand to 
grip front handle and right hand to grip rear handle. Use 
a firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around saw 
handles. (See Fig. I) 
(4) Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet-shoulder 
width apart. Distribute your weight evenly on both feet.
(5) When ready to make a cut, push the lock-out button 
completely in with the right thumb and squeeze the 
trigger. This will turn saw on. Releasing the trigger will 
turn the saw off. Make sure the saw is running at full 
speed before starting a cut.
(6) When starting a cut, slowly place moving chain 
against the wood. The wood should be as close to the 

saw body as possible. Hold saw firmly in place to avoid 
possible bouncing or skating (sideways movement) of 
saw.
(7) Guide the saw using light pressure and do not put 
excessive force on the saw, letting the saw do its work. 
The motor will overload and can burn out. It will do 
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was 
intended.
(8) Remove the saw from a cut with the saw running at 
full speed. Stop the saw by releasing the on/off switch. 
Make sure the chain has stopped before setting the saw 
down.
(9) Keep practicing on scrap logs in a secure working 
area until you are comfortable, using a fluid motion and 
a steady cutting rate.

Kickback Safety Devices On This Saw

This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced 
kickback Guide Bar. Both items reduce the chance of 
kickback. However, kickback can still occur with this 
saw.
The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.
• Use both hands to grip saw while saw is running. Use 
firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around saw 
handles.
• Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make sure they 
work properly.
• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
• Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
• Stand slightly to the left side of saw. This keeps your 
body from being in direct line with chain.
• Do not let Guide Bar nose touch anything when chain 
is moving.
• Never try cutting through two logs at same time. Only 
cut one log at a time.
• Do not bury the Guide Bar nose or try plunge cut 
(boring into wood using guide bar nose).
• Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that may 
pinch chain.
• Use extreme caution when reentering a previous cut.
• Use only the low-kickback chain and guide bar that 
were supplied with this chainsaw or recommended. 
• Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp with 
proper tension.

How to Use Saw Safely

1. Use the chainsaw only with secure footing.
2. Hold the chainsaw at the right-hand side of your body 
(See Fig. J).
3. The chain must be running at full speed before it 
makes contact with the wood.
4. Use the bumper spikes to secure the saw onto the 
wood before starting to cut.
5. Use the Bumper Spikes as a leverage point while cutting.
