- the chain life of the saw chain mainly depends upon

sucient lubrication and correct tensioning

- avoid tensioning the chain if it is hot, as this will cause

the chain to become overtensioned when it cools down

• Lubrication !

Chain life and cutting capacity depend on optimum

lubrication; therefore the chain is automatically oiled

during operation via oil outlet L 2

! the chain saw is not supplied filled with oil; it is

essential to fill with oil before use

! never operate the chain saw without chain oil or

at an empty oil reservoir level, as this will result

in extensive damage to the product

- set chain saw on any suitable surface with oil reservoir

cap M facing upward

- unscrew cap and add chain saw oil (not included)

until reservoir is full

- avoid dirt or debris entering oil reservoir

- mount oil reservoir cap and tighten

! check oil level prior to starting and regularly

during operation; refill oil when oil level is below

indicator N

- the oil reservoir lling will last approx. 15 minutes,

depending on sawing intensity and stops

- never use recycled/old oil

• Cord restraint @

- hook the loop in the extension cord over restraint P

as illustrated

- pull tight to secure the extension cord

• On/o #

- switch on tool by rst pressing safety switch Q and

then pulling trigger switch R

- switch o the tool by releasing trigger R

! do not stop chain saw after sawing by activating

front hand guard S 2 (= kickback brake)

• Kickback brake $

The kickback brake is a safety mechanism activated

through front hand guard S, when kickback occurs ->

chain stops immediately

The following function check should be carried out at

regular intervals:

- push front hand guard S forward and start the

chain saw -> the chain must not start

- to deactivate the kickback brake, release trigger

switch R and pull hand guard S backwards

• Operating the tool %

- always hold the chain saw rmly with both hands

(front handle T with the left hand and rear handle U

with the right hand); never operate chain saw using

only one hand %a

- ensure power cord is located to the rear, away from

the chain and wood and so postioned that it will not

be caught on branches or the like during cutting

! the chain must be running at full speed before

it makes contact with the wood

- use metal gripping teeth V to secure the saw onto

the wood before starting to cut %a

- use the gripping teeth as a leverage point “✱” while

cutting %a

- reset the gripping teeth at a lower point when sawing

thicker logs by pulling the chain saw slightly

backwards until the gripping teeth release, and

reposition at a lower level to continue sawing; do not

remove the saw completely from the wood

- do not force the chain while cutting; let the chain do

the work, using gripping teeth V to apply minimum

leverage pressure

- use the chain saw only with secure footing

- hold the chain saw at the right-hand side of your body %b

- do not operate the chain saw with arms fully extended

or attempt to saw areas which are dicult to reach, or

on a ladder %c

- never use the chain saw above shoulder height %d

- sawing is optimized when the chain speed remains

steady during cutting

! beware when reaching the end of the cut; the

weight of the saw may change unexpectedly as it

cuts free from the wood (accidents may occur to

legs and feet)

! always remove the saw from a wood cut while the

saw is running

• Cutting logs

- support logs so that the face sides at the cut do not

close in against each other, which would result in the

chain being jammed or pinched

- position and set short logs safely prior to sawing

- when sawing, always take care to avoid hitting stones,

nails, etc., as these could be thrown up or cause damage

to the chain or serious injury to the operator or bystanders

! keep a running chain clear of wire fencing or

the ground

- length cuts must be carried out with care, as leverage

with gripping teeth V 2 is not possible; saw at a at

angle to avoid kickback

- there is a high risk of accidents when sawing wood,

branch or trees under tension; be extremely careful

(leave saw jobs like these to professionalsl)

• Bucking a log (cutting a log into lengths)

- when possible, the log should be raised and supported

by the use of limbs, logs or chocks

- it is important to make sure your footing is rm and

your weight is evenly distributed on both feet

- when the log is supported along its entire length as

illustrated, it is cut from the top (overbuck) ^a

- when the log is supported on one end as illustrated,

cut 1/3 the diameter from the underside (underbuck);

then make the nished cut by overbucking to meet the

rst cut ^b

- when the log is supported on both ends as illustrated,

cut 1/3 the diameter from the top (overbuck); then

make the nished cut by underbucking the lower 2/3 to

meet the rst cut ^c

- when bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill

side of the log

- when “cutting through”, to maintain complete control

release the cutting pressure near the end of the cut

without relaxing your grip on the chain saw handles.

! do not let the chain contact the ground

- after completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop

before you move the chain saw

- always stop the motor before moving from tree to tree
