 WARNING

Always  keep  the  power  cable  tidy  and  away  from  the 
area  of  cutting.  Apart  from  the  danger  of  electrocution, 
untidy cables cause falls and trips.

STARTING THE CHAIN SAW

See page 15.

1.  Connect the product to a power outlet. Make sure the 

chain brake is in the run position by pulling back on the 
lever/hand guard.

2. 

press the on/off trigger.

CHECKING AND OPERATING CHAIN BRAKE

1.  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. The chain should stop 
rotating immediately. Be sure to maintain both hands on 
the saw handles at all times.

2.  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, have the product serviced by an authorised 
service centre prior to use.

REPLACING GUIDE BAR AND SAW CHAIN

See page 23.

1.  Disconnect  the  product  from  the  power  supply.  Wear 

protective gloves.

2.  Unlock  the  chain  tension/guide  bar  locking  knob  by 

turning  it  counterclockwise  until  the  sprocket  cover 
comes loose.

3.  Remove the sprocket cover. Remove the bar and saw 

chain from the product.

4.  Remove  the  screw  holding  the  guide  bar  to  the  chain 

tension assembly. Dispose the used bar and saw chain 
properly.

5.  Mount  the  chain  tension  assembly  on  to  the  new  bar 

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.
Replace the sprocket cover.

7. 

Tighten  and  lock  the  chain  tension/guide  bar  locking 
knob by turning it clockwise. 

The chain tension is correct when the gap between the 

cutter  in  the  chain  and  the  bar  is  between  3  mm  -  4 

bar downwards  (away  from the  bar) and measure  the 
distance between the bar and the chain cutters.

Adjust the chain tension. Refer to the “Adjusting chain 
tension” section.

 WARNING

Improper  chain  sharpening  increases  the  potential  of 
kickback.

 WARNING

Failure to replace or repair a damaged chain can cause 
serious injury.

 WARNING

The  saw  chain  is  very  sharp.  Always  wear  protective 
gloves when performing maintenance to the chain.

INSPECTING AND CLEANING THE CHAIN BRAKE

See page 26.

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  the  “Operation  -  Checking  and  Operating 
Chain Brake” in this manual for additional information.
