Do not use your chainsaw in wet
conditions or expose it to rain.
Always wear ear and eye protection.
Always remove the plug from the socket
before inspecting a damaged cable.
Be careful not to use your chainsaw if the
cable is damaged.
To ensure continued safe operation,
check the chain tension as described
in this manual after every 10 minutes
of use, and adjust back to 3 mm as
required.
Double insulation
Your chainsaw is double insulated.
This means that all external metal parts are
electrically isolated from the power supply.
This is achieved by placing an extra insulation
barrier between the electrical and mechanical
parts. Double insulation means greater
electrical safety and obviates the necessity
of having the machine earthed.
Electrical safety
Make sure your chainsaw is correct for your
supply. The voltage can be found on the rating
plate.

ASSEMBLY
Before assembly, make sure that the tool
is switched off and unplugged.
Oiling the chain (fig. A)
You must do this whenever you use a new
chain for the first time. Take the new chain out
of its plastic bag and soak it in chain oil for at
least an hour before using it. Use Black & Decker
chain oil (cat. no. A6027).
We recommend that you use only one brand
of oil during the lifetime of your chainsaw
because mixtures of different oils could lead to
the oil becoming degraded, which can
drastically shorten the lifetime of the saw chain.
Never use waste oil, thick oil or very thin
sewing machine oil. These may damage your
chainsaw.
Fitting the guide bar and chain (fig. B & C)
Always wear protective gloves when
working on your chainsaw and ensure that
the plug is not in the electrical outlet.
Fit the saw chain (9) over the guide bar (8),
making sure that the cutters are the right way
round and that the slider tensioner (11) is
facing towards you (fig. B).
With the tool horizontal on a stable surface,
put the bar and chain onto the bar mounting
studs (13), ensuring the chain is around the
drive sprocket (12). Make sure that the cutters
on the upper part of the guide bar face
towards the front (fig. B).
Before fitting the chain cover check that the
cam (18) is in the correct position.
If necessary, press and turn the control knob (7)
clockwise to rotate the cam into the correct
position.
