Cutting wood under tension (See Fig. R)
WARNING: When cutting a limb that is
under tension, use extreme caution. Be alert
for wood springing back. When wood tension
is released, limb could spring back and strike
operator causing severe injury or death.
When sawing logs supported on both ends, start
the cut from above(Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into
the log (overbuck) and then finish the cut (Z) from
below, in order to avoid contact of the Chainsaw with
the ground. When sawing logs supported on only
one end, start the cut from below (Y) about 1/3 of
the diameter into the log (underbuck) and finish the
cut from above (Z) in order to avoid log splitting or
jamming of the Chainsaw.

SAW MAINTENANCE
Follow maintenance instructions in this manual.
Proper cleaning of saw and chain and Guide Bar
maintenance can reduce chances of kickback.
Inspect and maintain saw after each use. This will
increase the service life of your saw.
NOTE: Even with proper sharpening, risk of kickback
can increase with each sharpening.

STORAGE OF CHAINSAW
1. Remove the battery pack
• When not in use
• Before moving from one place to another
• Before servicing

Bar Maintenance
To maximize bar life, the following bar maintenance is
recommended.
The bar rails that carry the chain should be cleaned
before storing the tool or if the bar or chain appear to
be dirty.
The rails should be cleaned every time the chain is
removed.
To clean the Bar rails:
1. Remove chain cover and bar and chain. (see
section ASSEMBLY)
2. Using a wire brush, screwdriver or similar tool,
clear the residue from the inner groove of the bar.
3. Make sure to clean oil passages thoroughly
Conditions which require chain and guide
bar maintenance:
• Saw cuts to one side or at an angle.
• Saw has to be forced through the cut.
• Inadequate supply of oil to the bar and chain.
Check the condition of the guide bar each time the
chain is sharpened. A worn guide bar will damage the
chain and make cutting difficult.
After each use, remove the battery pack, clean all
sawdust from the guide bar and sprocket hole.
When rail top is uneven, use a flat file to restore
square edges and sides.

Worn Groove
Replace the guide bar when the groove is worn,
the guide bar is bent or cracked, or when excess
heating or burring of the rails occurs. If replacement
is necessary, use only the guide bar specified for your
saw in the repair parts list or on the decal located on
the Chainsaw.
Replacing Bar & Chain
Replace chain when cutters are too worn to sharpen
or when chain stops. Only use replacement chain
noted in this manual.
