If the chain does not come to rest immediately
then this indicates that it needs tensioning
(see „Fitting the guide bar and chain").
How to switch the tool on (fig. A)
Grip your chainsaw firmly with both hands.
Push the lock-off button (2) forward and then
push the on/off switch (1) to start.
When the motor starts, remove your thumb
from the lock button and grip the handle firmly.
Do not force the tool - allow it to do the work.
It will do a better and safer job at the speed for
which it is designed. Excessive force will stretch
the chain.
If the saw chain or bar becomes jammed:
Switch the tool off.
Disconnect the tool from the mains supply.
Open the cut with wedges to relieve the strain
on the guide bar. Do not try to wrench the saw
free. Start a fresh cut.
Felling (fig. H - J)
Pre-plan a safe exit from falling trees or branches.
Cut one third of the diameter of the tree (Fig. H).
Then cut down from above to make a notch of
about 45°. This way you will avoid pinching the
saw.
Make a single felling cut from the other side
but stop before you cut through to the notch
(fig. I).
Drive a wedge or wedges into the felling cut to
open it and drop the tree (fig. J).
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the tool does not operate correctly, check the following.
Fault
Tool will not start.
Tool will not start

Logging (fig. K - M)
How you should cut depends on how the log is
supported. Use a saw horse whenever possible.
Always start a cut with the chain running and the
spiked bumper (17) in contact with the wood (fig. K).
To complete the cut use a pivoting action of the
spiked bumper against the wood.
When supported along its whole length
When supported at both ends
When supported at one end
When on a slope (fig. L)
When using a saw horse (fig. M)
This is strongly recommended whenever possible.
Regular maintenance ensures a long effective life
for the tool. We recommend you make the
following checks on a regular basis.
Possible cause
Blown fuse.
Tripped RCD.
Mains lead not connected.
Front guard in the brake position
Chain tension is too slack.
Oil tank empty.
Chain tension is too tight.
Guide bar sprocket nose needs greasing.
Make a downward cut, but avoid cutting the
earth as this will blunt your saw quickly.
First, cut one third down to avoid splintering
and second, cut again to meet the first cut.
First, cut one third up to avoid splintering and
second, cut down to prevent splintering.
Always stand on the uphill side.
Position the log in a stable position. Always cut
on the outside of the saw horse arms.
