CAUTION
Be careful of the repulsive force when the brake is
engaged.
If you drop the unit, injury may occur.
8. Checking chain oil discharge (Figs. 19, 20)
○
When switching the unit on, chain oil automatically
lubricates the saw chain and guide bar.
○
If oil does not seem to emerge 2 to 3 minutes after
the unit starts, check if any sawdust has accumulated
around the oil spout.
(Refer to “Cleaning the chain oil spout.”)
(Refer to “Checking the chain oil.”)
Switch operation
When the switch is engaged while pressing the lock-o
ff
button, the saw chain rotates. (
Fig. 21
)
Unless the lock-o
ff
button is pressed, the switch cannot
be engaged.
After the switch is engaged, the saw chain continues
rotating as long as it is pressed down. In addition, the
LED light remains lit up.
When the switch is released, a brake is applied to stop
the saw chain rotation.
WARNING
Do not secure the lock-o
ff
button while it is pressed.
If the switch is accidentally engaged, the unit may
unexpectedly start and injury may occur.
Using the hook
Pull out the hook from the unit, to which a rope etc. can
be tied to suspend the unit. (
Fig. 23
)
WARNING
When using the hook, ensure the unit is securely
suspended to avoid the risk of falling.
If the unit falls, an accident may occur.
REMAINING BATTERY INDICATOR
You can check the battery’s remaining capacity by
pressing the remaining battery indicator switch to light the
indicator lamp. (
Fig. 22
,
Table 3
)
The indicator will shut o
ff
approximately 3 seconds after
the remaining battery indicator switch is pressed.
It is best to use the remaining battery indicator as a
guide since there are slight di
ff
erences such as ambient
temperature and the condition of the battery.
Also, the remaining battery indicator may vary from those
equipped to a tool or charger.

As the remaining battery indicator shows somewhat
di
ff
erently depending on ambient temperature and battery
characteristics, read it as a reference.
NOTE
○
Do not give a strong shock to the switch panel or break
it. It may lead to a trouble.
○
To save the battery power consumption, the remaining
battery indicator lamp lights while pressing the
remaining battery indicator switch.
CUTTING PROCEDURES
WARNING
○
Prior to operation, ensure that chain brake works.
○
During use, grip the handle securely with both hands.
○
When cutting timber from the bottom, ensure the saw
chain does not impact with the timber.
If the unit is pushed back, injury may occur.
○
During work breaks or after work, always switch the unit
o
ff
, and remove the storage battery from the main body.
Always monitor the workplace and surrounding area,
ensure there are no objects which could cause injuries,
accidents or failure, and if any are present, remove them
in advance.
In particular, when establishing a foothold for working,
ensure there is no instability or any object which could be
tripped over.
When felling standing trees, always pay careful attention to
the direction in which the tree will fall or roll, and determine
a safe evacuation area and escape route for yourself in
advance.

Ensuring the unit is switched o
ff
If the storage battery is inserted while the switch is
unknowingly engaged, the unit may unexpectedly
start, which may result in an accident.

Installing the storage battery (Fig. 4)
As shown in
Fig. 4
, push
fi
rmly until it clicks into place.
3
Engaging the switch
Ensuring the saw chain is not in contact with the timber,
engage the switch, and start cutting when the saw
chain speed has increased.
CAUTION
○
When switching the unit on, ensure the saw chain does
not contact with material or anything else.
○
During use, be careful to ensure the saw chain does
not contact with other material or object. In particular,
when you have
fi
nished cutting, be careful to ensure it
does not touch the ground.
NOTE
Re
fi
ll the oil tank early to prevent the unit running out of
oil.
1. General cutting procedures
(1) Switch ON the power while keeping the saw slightly
away from the wood to be cut. Start sawing only after
the unit has reached full speed.
(2) When sawing a slender piece of wood, press the base
section of the guide bar against the wood and saw
downward as shown in
Fig. 24
.
(3) When sawing a thick piece of wood, press the spike on
the front section of the unit against the wood and cut it
with a lever action while using the spike as a fulcrum as
shown in
Fig. 25
.
(4) When cutting wood horizontally, turn the unit body to
the right so that the guide bar is below and hold the
upper side of the front handle with your left hand. Hold
the guide bar horizontally and place the spike that is
on the front of the unit body on the lumbar. Using the
spike as a fulcrum, cut into the wood by turning the rear
handle to the right. (
Fig. 26
