Adjusting the chain tension
See pages 11 - 12.
1. Remove the battery pack before you do any work on the chainsaw.
2. Loosen the bar mounting nuts.
3. To increase the chain tension, turn the chain tensioning screw
clockwise and check the chain tension frequently. To reduce the
chain tension, turn the chain tensioning screw counterclockwise
and check the chain tension frequently.
The chain tension is correct when the gap between the cutter in
the chain and the bar is about 6.5 mm (0.256 in). Pull the chain
in the middle of the lower side of the bar downwards (away from
the bar) and measure the distance between the bar and the chain
cutters.
NOTE: The temperature of the chain increases during normal
operation, causing the chain to stretch. Check the chain tension
frequently and adjust as required. A chain that is tensioned while
warm may be too tight upon cooling. Make sure that the chain tension
is correctly adjusted as specified in these instructions.
Adding chain lubricating oil
See pages 13 - 14.
WARNING! Never work without chain lubricant. If the saw
chain is running without lubricant, the guide bar and the saw
chain can be damaged. Frequently check the oil level in the oil
level gauge while using and before starting to use the chainsaw.
1. Clear the surface around the oil cap to prevent contamination.
2. Loosen and remove the cap from the oil tank.
3. Pour the oil into the oil tank and monitor the oil level gauge.
Ensure that no dirt enters the oil tank while filling.
4. Put back and tighten the oil cap. Wipe away any spillage.
NOTE: A properly functioning chain and bar lubricating system
normally discharges oil from the chain during use. To check the
functionality of the chain and bar lubricating system, point the tip of
the chain at a light coloured surface, such as a newspaper. A distinct
line of oil splatter should be observed after a short time.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
Turn off the product, remove the battery pack, and allow the product
to cool down before storing or transporting. Remove all chain and bar
oil from the product.
Remove all foreign materials from the product. Store the product in a
cool, dry, and well-ventilated area that is inaccessible to children. Keep
the product away from corrosive agents, such as garden chemicals
and de-icing salts. Do not store the product outdoors.
Fit the guide bar cover before storing the product or during
transportation.
For transportation, secure the product against movement or falling to
prevent injury to persons or damage to the product.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Transport the battery in accordance with local and national provisions
and regulations.
Follow all special requirements on packaging and labelling when
transporting batteries by a third party.
Ensure that no batteries can come in contact with other batteries
or conductive materials while in transport by protecting exposed
connectors with insulating, non-conductive caps or tape. Do not
transport batteries that are cracked or leaking. Check with the
forwarding company for further advice.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Use only original manufacturer’s replacement
parts, accessories, and attachments. Failure to do so can cause
possible injury, can contribute to poor performance, and may
void your warranty.
WARNING! Servicing requires extreme care and knowledge
and should be performed only by a qualified service technician.
Have the product serviced by an authorised service centre only.
When servicing, use only original replacement parts.
WARNING! Remove the battery pack before adjustment,
maintenance, or cleaning. Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury.
■
You may only make adjustments or repairs described in this
manual. For other repairs, contact an authorised service centre.
■
Consequences of improper maintenance, removal, or modification
of safety features, such as the chain brake, ignition switch, hand
guard (front and back), spiked bumper, chain catcher, guide bar,
and low kickback saw chain, may cause the safety features not to
function correctly, thus increasing the potential for serious injury.
Keep the product professionally maintained and safe.
■
Sharpening the chain safely is a skilled task. Therefore, the
manufacturer strongly recommends that a worn or dull chain
is replaced with a new one, available at your authorised service
centre. The part number is available in the product specification
table in this manual.
■
Follow instructions for lubricating and chain tension checking and
adjustment.
■
After each use, clean the product with a soft, dry cloth.
■
Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals for security
to ensure that the product is in safe working condition. Any part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorised service centre.
Replacing guide bar and saw chain
See pages 15 - 18.
1. Remove the battery. Wear protective gloves.
2. Remove the bar mounting nuts using the combination wrench
provided.
3. Remove the guide bar cover.
4. Remove the bar and saw chain from the product. Properly dispose
of used chain and bar.
5. Put the new chain in the correct direction onto the bar, and make
sure that the drive links are aligned in the bar groove.
6. Attach the bar to the chain saw and loop the chain around the
drive sprocket.
7. Replace the chain cover and bar mounting nuts.
8. Finger-tighten the bar mounting nuts. The bar must be free to
move for chain tension adjustment.
9. Adjust the chain tension. Refer to the “Adjusting chain tension”
section.
10. Hold the tip of the guide bar upwards, and securely tighten the
bar mounting nuts.
Inspecting and cleaning the chain brake
See page 20.
Always keep the chain brake mechanism clean by lightly brushing the
linkage free from dirt.
Always test the chain brake performance after cleaning. Refer to
“Checking and operating the chain brake” section in this manual for
additional information.

RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible
to eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following hazards may
arise in use and the operator should pay special attention to avoid
the following:
■
injury caused by vibration
–
Always use the right tool for the job. Use designated handles.
Restrict working time and exposure.
■
injury caused by to exposure to noise
–
Wear hearing protection and limit exposure.
■
injury caused by contact with exposed saw teeth of the chain
(cutting hazards)
■
injury caused by unforeseen, abrupt movement or kickback of the
guide bar (cutting hazards)
■
injury caused by parts ejected from the saw chain (cutting/
injection hazards)
■
injury caused by thrown-out pieces of the workpiece (wood chips,
splinters)
■
injury caused by dust and particles
■
injury to the skin caused by contact with lubricants
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools may
contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome in certain
individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness, and blanching
of the fingers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold. Hereditary
factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking, and work
practices are all thought to contribute to the development of these
symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the operator to
possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
■
Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit,
wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is reported
