• When supported at both ends. First, cut 1/3 down from the top
overbuck. Then make the finished cut by underbucking the lower
2/3 to meet the first cut as shown below.
• When on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the log.
When "cutting through", to maintain complete control reduce
the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing
your grip on the chain saw handles. Don't 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 cut to cut.
MAINTENANCE
Your power tool has been designed to operate over a long period
of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory
operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
turn tool off and disconnect battery pack before making
any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or
accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
The charger and battery pack are not serviceable.

Saw Chain and Guide Bar
After every few hours of use, remove the sprocket cover, guide
bar and chain and clean thoroughly using a soft bristle brush.
Ensure oiling hole on bar is clear of debris. When replacing dull
chains with sharp chains it is good practice to flip the chain bar
from bottom to top.
For best performance, have sharpening and maintenance of the
saw chain performed by an authorised D
Sprocket and Sprocket Cover (Fig. A, F, I)
CAUTION: Sharp chain. Always wear protective gloves when
handling the chain. The chain is sharp and can cut you when it is
not running.

Saw Chain Sharpening (Fig. O–Q)
CAUTION: Sharp chain. Always wear protective gloves when
handling the chain. The chain is sharp and can cut you when it is
not running.
WARNING: Sharp moving chain. To prevent accidental
operation, ensure that battery is removed from the tool before
performing the following operations. Failure to do this could result
in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Do not over file chain rakers
the risk of kickback. If the chain
four times, replace it.
Each time the chain

is sharpened, it loses some of the low
kickback qualities and extra caution should be used.
It is recommended that a saw chain be sharpened no more
than four times.
nOtE: The cutters

will dull immediately if they touch the
ground/dirt or a nail while cutting.
To get the best possible performance from your pole saw it is
important to keep the cutters
these helpful tips for proper saw chain sharpening:
1. For best results use a 5/16" (4 mm) file and a file holder or
filing guide to sharpen your saw chain. This will ensure you
always get the correct sharpening angles.
2. Place the file holder flat on the top plate
gauge of the cutter
.

3. Keep the correct top plate
your file guide parallel with your chain (file at 60 ° from chain
viewed from the side) as shown in Fig. O.
4. Sharpen cutters
on one side of the chain
25
from the inside of each cutter to the outside. Then turn your saw
around and repeat the processes (2, 3, 4) for cutters on the other
side of the chain.
nOtE: Use a flat file to file the tops of the rakers
