WARNING
The following actions will result in the warranty being
void.
• Professional, Industrial or high frequency use.
• If the tool has been operated on a supply voltage
other than that specified on the tool.
• If the tool shows signs of damage or defects caused
by or resulting from abuse, accidents or alterations.

way.
WARNING!
Before cleaning your
chainsaw or carrying out any maintenance
procedure, make sure that the motor is
off and the battery removed to prevent
accidental starting.
Limbing
Limbing is the process of removing the branches from
a fallen tree. Check the direction in which a branch
will bend before cutting it. Always cut on the opposite
side to the bending direction so that the guide bar is
not pinched in the cut. For large limbs that cannot be
removed in one cut, make an initial cut from the bent
side and finish by sawing from the opposite direction.
Do not remove limbs that are supporting the fallen tree
on the ground until the tree has been cut into lengths.
Bucking
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths for easier
handling. To saw a log lying on the ground, first
saw halfway, then roll the log over and cut from the
opposite side.
To saw the end of a log supported off the ground, first
saw up from the bottom one-third through the log then
finish by sawing down from the top. To saw a log in the
middle of two supports holding it off the ground, first
saw down from the top one-third through the log then
finish by sawing up from the bottom
FIG. .
Pruning
WARNING!
Always keep a balanced
stance. Do not stand on the log. Be alert
to the fact that the log may roll over. When
working on a slop, always stand on the up hill
side of the log.
WARNING!
Avoid cutting into the ground
as this will very quickly dull the saw chain.
WARNING!
Do not use an unstable
foothold or ladder. Do not overreach. Do not
saw above shoulder height. First cut up from
the bottom and finish down from the top.
Pruning is the removal of a limb or branch from a
standing tree.
Adjusting the Chain Tension
1. Loosen the guide bar locking knob slightly, by rotating it in
an anti clockwise direction.
2. Using the supplied wrench adjust the chain tension screw
CLOCKWISE to increase chain tension. Turning screw
COUNTERCLOCKWISE will decrease amount of tension
on the chain. Adjust the chain tension screw for the correct
tension
FIG. G.
For the correct chain tension, pull up on the chain from the
top and middle of the exposed guide bar. The bottom tip of
the links should only just stay in the track
FIG. H.
NOTE:
The tension is correct when the chain can be pulled
3mm away from the guide bar when using your finger and
thumb.
Do not over-tighten as this will reduce the life of the chain and
guide bar.
3. After the chain has been accurately tensioned, lock the
guide bar in place with the side cover lock.
Maintaining the Guide Bar
1. Remove any sawdust from the guide bar, including the
groove. Oil and sawdust combine and emit a burning smell
during operation if the blade is not regularly cleaned.
2. Make sure that the oil port is not clogged. Grease the nose
sprocket at the tip of the guide bar.
3. Check for oil leakage and loose fastenings, especially
those securing the handles and the guide bar.
4. Reverse the guide bar every 8 working hours to ensure
uniform wear. Check the guide rails frequently and if
necessary remove burrs and square up the rails using a
flat file.
Chain Sharpening
Chain File:
3.96mm (5/32”)
Chain Pitch:
9.53mm (3/8”)
Chain Gauge:
1.1mm (0.043”)
Sharpen the chain regularly to maintain optimum performance
of the saw. Signs of a dull chain are:
• The sawdust becomes powder-like
• Extra force is required to execute a cut
• The cut does not track in a straight line
• Increased vibration
Sharpen each cutter using a round 3.96mm (5/32”) chain file.
Keep the file level with the top plate of the tooth. Always use
outward strokes and maintain a 30° angle between the chain
and file. After sharpening, the cutters must all have the same
width and length
FIG. T.
After every 3–4 uses get an authorised repair centre to
professionally sharpen your chain. They have the special
tools necessary to ensure the correct cutting angles and
depths.
WARNING!
Wear heavy gloves when
handling the chain. Hold the guide bar
securely in a vice.
