Chain catcher
A chain catcher prevents the saw chain from being thrown
back towards the operator if the saw chain comes loose
or breaks.
OPERATION
WARNING!
If any parts are damaged or missing do not operate
the product until the parts are replaced. Failure to
heed this warning could result in serious personal
injury.
Installing the battery pack
See page 6.
Place the battery pack in the product. Align raised ribs on
the battery pack with grooves in the product’s battery port.
Make sure the latch of the battery pack snaps in place
and that the battery pack is fully seated and secure in the
product before beginning operation.
Holding the chainsaw
See fi gure 1.
Always hold the product with your right hand on the rear
handle and your left hand on the front handle. Grip both
handles with the thumbs and
fi ngers encircling the handles.
Ensure that your left hand is holding the front handle so that
your thumb is underneath.
Starting the product
See page 8.
Before starting the product, you should install the battery
pack in the product and make sure the chain brake is in run
position by pulling the chain brake lever/hand guard toward
the front handle.
To start the product: pull the trigger release, and then press
the throttle trigger.
Checking and operating the chain brake
See page 20.
Engage the chain brake by rotating your left hand around
the front handle. Allow the back of your hand to push the
chain brake lever/hand guard toward the bar while the
chain is rotating rapidly. Be sure to maintain both hands on
the saw handles at all times.
Reset the chain brake back into the run position by
grasping the top of the chain brake lever/hand guard and
pulling toward the front handle until you hear a click.
WARNING!
If the chain brake does not stop the chain
immediately, or if the chain brake will not stay in the
run position without assistance, bring the product
to an authorised service centre.
Adjusting the chain tension
See pages 14 - 15.
Remove the battery pack before you do any work on the
chainsaw.
Make sure the bar mounting nuts are loosened to fi nger-
tight.
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.
Adding chain lubricating oil
See pages 16 - 17.
WARNING!
Never work without chain lubricant. If the saw chain
is running without lubricant, the guide bar and
the saw chain can be damaged. It is essential to
frequently check the oil level in the oil level gauge
and before starting to use the chainsaw.
Clear surface around the oil cap to prevent contamination.
Unscrew and remove the cap from the oil tank.
Pour the oil into the oil tank and monitor the oil level gauge.
Ensure that no dirt enters the oil tank while
fi lling.
Put the oil cap back on and tighten it up. Wipe away any
spillage.
TRANSPORATION AND STORAGE
Stop the product, remove the battery pack, and allow the
product to cool down before storing or transporting.
Clean all foreign material from the product. Store it in a
cool dry and well-ventilated place that is inaccessible to
children. Keep away from corrosive agents, such as garden
chemicals and de-icing salts. Do not store 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.
