with a shield depicting a chainsaw to show compliance
with EN 381-3. (Occasional users may use steel toe-
cap safety boots with protective gaiters which conform
to EN 381-9 if the ground is even and there is little risk
of tripping or catching on undergrowth)
Chainsaw jackets for upper body protection
should comply with EN 381-11 and be CE marked

GETTING STARTED
See page 277.
1. Wear full eye protection, ear protection, non-slip
heavy-duty gloves, substantial footwear, and protective
clothing at all times while operating the product. Do not
operate the product when barefoot or wearing open
sandals.
2. Remove the parts from the packaging. Inspect the
product carefully for damage. If any parts are damaged
or missing, contact an authorised service centre.
3. Add chain lubricating oil. Clear the surface around the
oil cap to prevent contamination. 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 filling. Close the oil tank, and tighten the cap.
Wipe away any spillage.
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.
NOTE: Ensure that the lubricant flow screw is set to open
for chain and bar oil to be released.
–
Turn
the screw counterclockwise to open and
increase the oil flow to the chain and bar.
–
Turn the screw clockwise to decrease the oil flow to
the chain and bar.
A properly functioning chain and bar lubricating system will
normally discharge oil from the chain during use. To check
the functionality of the chain and bar lubricating system,
point the tip of the chain at a light coloured surface, such
as a newspaper. A distinct line of oil splatter should be
observed after a short time.
4. Remove the guide bar cover.
5. Adjust the chain tension. Turn the chain tensioner
knob counterclockwise to unlock the chain tensioner
adjustment ring. Check the chain tension frequently
while adjusting the tension.
–
To increase the chain tension, turn the chain
tensioner adjustment ring clockwise.
–
To reduce the chain tension, turn the chain
tensioner adjustment ring counterclockwise.
NOTE: The chain tension is correct when the gap
between the cutter in the chain and the bar is between
3-4 mm. 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.
NOTE: The temperature of the chain increases during
normal operation causing the chain to stretch. Check
the chain tension frequently and adjust as required.
A chain tensioned while warm may be too tight upon
cooling. Make sure that the chain tension is correctly
adjusted as specified in these instructions.
6. Tighten the chain tensioner knob by turning it clockwise.
7. Align
the raised ribs on the battery pack with the
grooves in the product's battery port. Make sure that
the latch of the battery pack snaps in place and that
the battery pack is fully seated and securely attached
before beginning operation.
WARNING
Always hold the product with your right hand on the rear
handle and your left hand on the front handle.
WARNING
Grip both handles with the thumbs and fingers encircling
the handles. Ensure that your left hand is holding the
front handle so that your thumb is underneath.
8. Start the product. Set the chain brake into the run
position by grasping the top of the chain brake lever/
hand guard and pulling towards the front handle until
you hear a click. Pull the trigger release. Press the
throttle trigger.
NOTE: To stop the product, 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. Push the
trigger release and release the throttle trigger.

TECHNIQUES FOR BASIC FELLING, LIMBING, AND
CROSS-CUTTING
Understanding the forces within the wood
When you understand the directional pressures and
stresses inside the wood you can reduce the "pinches" or
at least expect them during your cutting. Tension in the
wood means the fibers are being pulled apart and if you cut
in this area, the "kerf" or cut will tend to open as the saw
goes through. If a log is being supported on a saw horse
and the end is hanging unsupported over the end then
tension is created on the upper surface due to the weight
of the overhanging log stretching the fibers. Likewise, the
underside of the log will be in compression and the fibers
are being pushed together. If a cut is made in this area, the
kerf will have the tendency to close up during the cut. This
would pinch the blade.
Push and pull
The reaction force is always opposite to the direction the
chain is moving. Thus, the operator must be ready to
control the tendency for the product to pull away (forward
motion) when cutting on the bottom edge of the bar and the
push backwards (towards the operator) when cutting along
the top edge.
