• This machine will only run when 2 batteries
are installed. It is recommended to use the
same two batteries and charge the two
batteries at the same time.
• When you use two batteries with different
power, the machine will only run to the
lower common denominator.
5. POWER INDICATOR LIGHT (See Fig. J)
IMPORTANT:
When only one light is illuminated, your
battery is overly discharged, even though
the machine may still be capable to work.
Continuing to operate your machine with
the battery in this discharged condition may
reduce the life and performance of your

When no light are illuminated, at least one
battery is not fully installed or battery may be
defective, please double check the batteries
are fully seated into position.

NOTE:
The chain brake must be activated in order
for the saw to be switched on.
7. CHAIN BRAKE LEVER (SEE FIG. L)
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 ) to deactivate chain brake.
To activate the chain brake, push front hand guard
forwards (position ).
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 ).
8. CUTTING
Important: Is the oil tank filled? Check
the Oil Level Window prior to starting
and regularly during operation (See Fig.
M). 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. N)
(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
