Always wear ear protection
The declared values for vibration and noise, which have been measured according to a standardi-
sed test method, can be used to compare different tools with each other and for a preliminary
assessment of exposure. The measurement values have been determined in accordance with EN
60745-2-13:2009.
WARNING!
The actual vibration level when using power tools may differ from the specified maxi-
mum value, depending on how the tool is used. It is therefore necessary to determine which
safety precautions are required to protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in actual
operating conditions (taking into account all stages of the work cycle, e.g. the time when the tool is
switched off and when it is idling, in addition to the start-up time).
8. TROUBLESHOOTING
• Check the bar at regular intervals for wear and damage, and replace if necessary.
• Clean the oil channels on the bar to ensure proper lubrication of the bar and chain.
WARNING! Never fit a new chain on a worn sprocket or worn guide ring.
CHECKING THE CHAIN TENSION
1. A new chain must be tensioned after no more than 5 cuts. Once the chain has been run in it does
not need to be tensioned as often.
2. The chain is correctly tensioned when it rests against the underside of the bar, but can still be
easily pulled along by hand.
3. Adjust the tension of the chain when necessary.
TENSIONING THE CHAIN
1. Unscrew the nuts about 1 turn.
2. Lift the tip of the bar a little.
3. Tension the chain with the screw until the chain is flush with the underside of the bar.
4. Tighten the nut.
NOTE: Do not tension the chain too tightly, this will result in abnormal wear and reduce the life
span of the chain and bar.

5. USE
INTENDED USE
• The chain saw must only be used to saw wood, with a chain of the recommended type.
• The saw is not intended for commercial or industrial use.
• Do not use the saw for any other purpose.
• Never modify the saw in any way and do not use parts that are not approved by the manufacturer.
This can result in material damage.
• The chain saw must only be used for its intended purpose and in accordance with these instruc-
tions. All other use is considered to be unsuitable.
CHAIN CATCHER
The chain catcher catches the chain if it comes off or jumps out from the slot on the bar.
Correct maintenance of the bar and correct and regular tensioning of the chain prevent such
problems.
CHAIN BRAKE HANDLE
To reduce the risk of personal injury in the event of kickback the saw has a chain brake, which
triggers on contact and stops the chain immediately.
HAND GUARD
The hand guard protects the hand from branches and from the chain if it comes off or loose.
INSERTING/REMOVING THE BATTERY
NOTE:
Remove the battery before maintenance, replacing accessories and/or cleaning.
1. Check that the power switch is in the OFF position.
2. Align the battery ridges to the slots in the casing, and press the battery in place. Press in the

HOW TO USE
Study the technique for working with the chain. This information is readily available in the literature
on the subject. We recommend that you undertake a suitable training course.
The information in this document is only intended as a supplement.
CORRECT WORKING POSTURE
NOTE:
• Always maintain a firm footing and good balance.
• Never saw above shoulder height.
• Never use the chain saw from a ladder, tree or other unstable place.
• Do not overreach.
• Do not use the chain saw in bad weather or in the dark.
• Stand with both feet firmly on the ground.
• Pay attention to any obstructions in the work area.
• Hold the chain saw firmly with both hands when working.
RISK OF KICKBACK
WARNING!
Kickback can occur if the tip or topside of the bar comes into contact with wood or
other solid objects. The saw then kicks back, which can cause fatal or serious personal injury.
• Always check before use that the chain brake is working properly.
• Do not allow the tip of the bar to make contact with wood or other solid objects. (SEE FIG. 15)
• The chain brake may not be applied automatically in the event of minor kickback. For this reason,
always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands.
• The correct and careful way of working is the only reliable method of reducing the risk of kickback.
SAWING TECHNIQUE
Sawing with top cut
With this technique sawing takes place with the underside of the bar, from up and down, so that the
chain pulls the saw forwards away from the user. This allows the front of the saw to provide support
and absorb the force from the wood being sawn. (SEE FIG. 16)
Sawing med undercut
With this technique sawing takes place with the topside of the bar, from down and up, so that the
chain pushes the saw backwards towards the user. If the bar twists the chain saw can throw back
towards the user with great force. (SEE FIG. 17)
NOTE: If the user does not withstand the pushing force of the saw there is a risk of the tip of the bar
coming into contact with the wood, which can cause kickback.
FELLING TREES
WARNING!
• Risk of personal injury.
• Felling and limbing should only be carried out by qualified personnel–risk of fatal and/or serious
personal injury.
• Always stand to the side of the tree being felled – risk of fatal and/or serious personal injury.
Check the following points before felling trees
• Check that there are no people or animals in the work area.
• Check that everyone involved in the work has a clear retreat from the felling area.
The retreat should run at an angle from the direction of fall. (SEE FIG. 18)
• Check that the area around the tree is free from obstructions.
• Check that the nearest workplace is at least 2.5 tree heights away. Check the direction in which
the tree is going to fall and make sure there are no people, animals or obstacles within at least 2.5
tree heights. (SEE FIG. 19)
Tree felling takes place in two steps
1. Make a notch (A) through about 1/3 of the diameter of the trunk, on the side in which the tree is to
fall (C).
2. Saw the felling cut (B) from the other side of the tree, 3–5 cm above the bottom of the notch.
Always leave holding wood (D), which acts as a hinge. (SEE FIG. 20)
IMPORTANT:
Never saw all the way through the trunk.
CROSS CUTTING THE TRUNK
Sawing a felled tree into lengths. Make sure you have a firm footing and good balance, and feet
apart when sawing. If possible support the trunk and hold it up from the ground with branches, logs
or wedges.
Follow the instructions:
• If the trunk is supported along its length it can be sawn from above (top cut). (SEE FIG. 21)
• If the trunk is supported in one end, it should be sawn in two steps.
• First cut one third of the diameter of the trunk from underneath to prevent splitting. Then saw from
the top to meet the first cut and avoid the bar getting clamped. (SEE FIG. 22)
• If the trunk is supported in both ends, it should be sawn in two steps. First cut one third of the
diameter of the trunk from above to prevent splitting. Now saw from underneath to meet the first cut
and avoid the bar getting stuck. (SEE FIG. 23)
• Always stand uphill of the tree when cutting on slopes.
• Reduce the feed pressure on the bar somewhat towards the end of the cut, but keep a firm grip on
the handles.
This will give you better control over the sawing when you break through. Do not allow the chain to
come into contact with the ground. Wait until the chain has stopped before moving to the next cut.
• Release the power switch and allow the chain to stop before moving to the next tree.
NOTE: Be careful not to let the bar and the chain come into contact with the ground.
SAWING SUPPORTED LOGS
We recommend cutting up logs on a sawbuck.
If this is not possible the log should be lifted up and blocked up.
WARNING! Do not saw wood under tension. If the wood splits or if the bar is twisted there is risk of
fatal and/or serious personal injury.
LIMBING
• Always stand on the opposite side of the trunk from the branch to be cut.
• Start from the root end, and work up.
• Always saw from underneath and up.
• When limbing lying logs, cut the branches sticking up first. Branches bearing the weight of the
trunk are cut after sawing up the log into pieces. (SEE FIG. 24)
WARNING!
High branches or branches under tension can cause the chain to pinch.
6. MAINTENANCE
• Switch off the chain saw, wait until all moving parts have completely stopped and allow the saw to
cool before cleaning and/or maintenance.
• Do not carry out any other maintenance or adjustments than those described in these instructions.
• Maintenance and repairs not described in these instructions should be carried out by an authori-
sed service centre or other qualified personnel. Incorrect maintenance can result in the risk of
personal injury and/or material damage.
CLEANING THE CHAIN SAW
• Remove any debris.
• Wipe the appliance with a damp cloth.
CLEANING BAR LUBRICATION SLOT
1. Remove the bar.
2. Clear the lubrication slot in the bar with a suitable tool.
3. Fit the bar.
IMPORTANT:
Clean the bar with plastic tools. Never use metal tools.
CHECKING THE CHAIN LUBRICATION
Do not use the chain saw without adequate lubrication of the chain, this will wear out the chain
quicker.
1. Check the oil level in the tank.
2. Start the chain saw.
3. Run the chain when holding the bar about 15 cm over a suitable surface for 15 seconds. If the
chain lubrication is working properly there should be splashing of oil on the surface.
LUBRICATING THE SPROCKET
IMPORTANT:
• Wear heavy-duty safety gloves when handling the bar and chain.
• Switch off the saw and wait until all moving parts have completely stopped before lubricating.
The bar sprocket should be lubricated at intervals of 25 working hours, or once a week during
intensive use.
1. Clean the sprocket.
2. Press grease from the nozzle of the grease gun into the lubrication hole until it comes out by the
edge of the bar. A grease gun with a slim nozzle simplifies effective lubrication.
3. Pull round the chain by hand. Repeat until all the sprocket has been lubricated.
FILLING CHAIN OIL
NOTE:
Preferably use biodegradable, vegetable chain oil to minimise the environmental impact.
1. Place the chain saw on a stable surface with the filler cap facing up.
2. Clean the cap are the area around it, if necessary.
3. Open the filler cap slowly and take it off.
4. Carefully fill with chain oil. Avoid spilling.
5. Check the oil level in the sight glass. The oil level should be between the MAX and MIN markings.
6. Tighten the filler cap by hand.
7. Wipe up any spilled oil.
SHARPENING THE CHAIN
WARNING!
• A worn or incorrectly filed chain can cause kickback, which can result in fatal and/or serious
personal injury.
• Wear heavy-duty safety gloves when handling the bar and chain.
• The filing should be done with a special tool to ensure that the chain has the right angles and
height.
• All the drive links should have the same height. Different heights of the drive links will cause the
chain to run out of balance and damage it.
• The minimum size of drive links is 4 mm. Discard the chain if they are less. The angles of the
cutting edges must be maintained. File with 2 or 3 strokes from inside and out.
• File the chain with a round file. Always file the cutting edges from inside and out. Pay attention to
the values given in the diagrams. After filing all the drive links should have the same width and
height.
• The height of the rakers should be checked after 3 – 4 filings. If necessary, file down the rakers
with a file template and flat file, and round off the front edge.
BAR
• Turn the bar round every 8 working hours to ensure that it wears uniformly.
• Use a cleaning tool to keep the slot and lubrication holes clean.

Check that the chain is not touching the ground or an object when starting the product. A moment
of inattention or carelessness can result in serious personal injury.
• Hold the back hand in your right hand and the front handle in your left hand, even if you are
left-handed. Never hold the product in any other way – risk of personal injury.
• Hold the power tool by the insulated grips when working in areas where it may come into contact
with concealed electrical cables or its own power cord. Contact with a live cable will cause the
metal parts on the product to also become live–risk of electric shock.
• Wear safety glasses and ear protection.
A safety helmet with visor, safety gloves and non-slip safety shoes with protection for the lower part
of the leg are recommended. The proper protective equipment reduces the risk of personal injury in
the event of contact with the chain or ejected material.
• Never use the power tool from a ladder, tree or other unstable place. This could cause you to lose
your balance or lose control of the tool.
• Branches under tension can spring away when they are cut and cause personal injury and/or
cause you to lose control of the power tool.
• Be careful when sawing bushes. The thin stems can fasten in the chain and hit you or cause you to
lose your balance.
• Switch off the power tool before moving. Carry the power tool with the front handle and with the
bar pointing away from your body. Transport and store the power tool with the supplied guard fitted.
Using the appliance properly reduces the risk of coming into contact with the chain.
• Follow the instructions for lubrication, tensioning the chain, and replacing accessories. The wrong
tension and/or lubrication of the chain can result in a risk of the chain breaking and/or kickback.
• Keep the handles clean, dry and free from oil and grease. Greasy handles make it difficult to hold
the power tool – risk of personal injury and/or material damage.
• Only use the power tool to saw wood. Use the power tool only for its intended purpose. Do not
attempt to saw plastic, bricks or building materials not made of wood. Incorrect use can result in the
risk of personal injury and/or material damage.
CAUSES OF KICKBACK AND WAYS TO PREVENT IT
• Kickback can occur if the tip or topside of the bar comes into contact with wood or other solid
objects, or if the chain jams in the cut.
• The power tool then kicks up and back with great force, which can cause serious personal injury, or death.
• If the chain fastens along the top of the bar, this can cause the saw to be pressed back towards
the user. This can also result in serious personal injury or death.
• Do not rely on the safety mechanisms on the power tool. The correct and careful way of working is
the only reliable method of reducing the risk of kickback.
• Kickback occurs when the tool is used incorrectly and/or with the wrong work methods, or in the
wrong conditions, and can be avoided as follows.
• Hold the tool firmly with both hands and hold your arms in a position that prevents kickback.
Kickback can cause the tool to jerk backwards, but the user can control this by taking the appro-
priate measures. Keep a firm grip on the handles with both hands.
• Do not overreach. Never saw above shoulder height. This ensures better control over the product
in unexpected situations.
• Only use accessories recommended by the manufacturer. The use of other accessories can cause
the chain to break/or kickback.
• Follow the instructions to maintain the tool and sharpen the chain. A worn or incorrectly sharpe-
ned chain increases the risk of kickback.
ting a tool to the mains supply when the switch is in the ON position, increases the risk of accidents
and injuries.
• Remove adjuster keys/spanners before switching on the power tool. Spanners or the like that are
left in a rotating part of the tool can cause personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance. This ensures better control
over the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose-fitting clothing, jewellery and long hair can get caught in
moving parts.
• If dust extraction and dust collection equipment is available, this should be connected and used
correctly. The use of such devices can reduce the risk of dust-related problems.
USE AND CARE
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for the planned work.
The tool does the job better and safer when used at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the tool if it cannot be switched on and off with the power switch. Power tools that
cannot be controlled with the power switch are dangerous and must be repaired.
• Pull out the plug and/or remove the battery before making any adjustments, changing accessories
or putting the power tool away. These safety precautions reduce the risk of accidently starting the tool.
• Store power tools out of the reach of children when not in use. Never allow children, or anyone
who is unfamiliar with the power tool and these instructions, to use the tool. Power tools are dange-
rous if used by inexperienced persons.
• Keep the power tool properly maintained.
Check that moving parts are properly adjusted and do not jam, and that no parts are incorrectly
fitted or damaged. Check for other factors that could affect functionality. If the power tool is dama-
ged, it must be repaired before being used again. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and bits etc., in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the actual working conditions and the work that is to be done. It can be dangerous to use
power tools for purposes other than those they are intended to be used for.
USING AND MAINTAINING BATTERY POWERED TOOLS
• The battery must only be charged with the charger recommended by the manufacturer. A charger
intended for one type of battery can result in a fire risk if used with another type of battery.
• Only use power tools with the specified batteries. The use of other batteries can cause accidents
or a fire.
• When the battery is not being used it must be kept away from other metal objects such as paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other metal objects that can short circuit the terminals. Short
circuiting the battery terminals can cause burns or a fire.
• Failure to handle the battery carefully can cause fluid to leak from the battery. Avoid contact with
battery fluid. Rinse well with plenty of water if you come into contact with battery fluid. Seek medi-
cal attention if you get battery fluid in your eyes. Fluid leaking from the battery can cause irritation
or burns.
SERVICE
• The power tool must only be serviced by qualified personnel using identical spare parts. This will
ensure that the power tool remains safe to use.
