IMPORTANT: IT IS VITAL FOR THE PROPER AND SAFE
OPERATION OF THE CHAINSAW THAT THE CHAIN IS
TENSIONED CORRECTLY.
Fitting a chain and bar
1. Remove the bar securing
nutcoverusingtheatend
of the tool.
2. Remove the bar securing nut
thenthesidepanel.
3. Fit the chain over the
guide bar making sure
that the cutters are facing
in the direction of rotation.
4. Place the guide bar and
chaininpositionensuring
the chain is around
sprocketwheel(B).
Note: If required adjust chain
tension screw to move the
tension lug back to allow the
bartot
B
Before assembling or disassembling a chain be sure to
disconnect the chainsaw from the power supply.
Always wear gloves when handling the chain as it is very sharp
and can cut you when it is not moving.

NOTE: THE CHAIN SHOULD BE ADJUSTED BEFORE
FIRST USE, AGAIN AFTER 2-3 MINUTES OPERATION
AND RECHECKED AND ADJUSTED IF NECESSARY
AFTER EACH FURTHER 30 MINUTES OF USE. TAKE

the motor will take a short
time to continue to run down.
2. Hold the front handle with your left hand and the rear handle
with your right hand.

CAUTION: FIRST TIME USERS SHOULD, AS A
MINIMUM PRACTISE, CUT LOGS ON A SAW-HORSE
OR CRADLE
CAUTION: POSITION THE CORD SO THAT IT WILL
NOT BE CAUGHT IN BRANCHES DURING CUTTING
CAUTION!: AVOID CUTTING INTO THE GROUND AS
THIS WILL VERY QUICKLY DULL THE SAW CHAIN.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHAINSAWS
• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chain saw is
operating. Before you start the chain saw, make sure the saw chain is not
contacting anything.Amomentofinattentionwhileoperatingchainsawsmay
cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
• Always hold the chain saw with your right hand on the rear handle and
you left hand on the front handle. Hold the chain saw with a reversed hand
congurationincreasestheriskofpersonalinjuryandshouldneverbedone.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the chain
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.Sawchainscontactinga“live”wire
maymakeexposedmetalpartsofthepowertool“live”andcouldgivetheoperator
an electric shock.
• Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for
head, hands, legs and feet is recommended.Adequateprotectiveclothingwill
reducepersonalinjurybyyingdebrisoraccidentalcontactwiththesawchain.
• Do not operate a chain saw in a tree.Operationofachainsawwhileupinatree
mayresultinpersonalinjury
• Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when standing
on xed, secure and level surface.Slipperyorunstablesurfacessuchasladders
may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain saw.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When
thetensioninthewoodbresisreleasedthespringloadedlimbmaystrikethe
operatorand/orthrowthechainsawoutofcontrol.
• Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings.Theslendermaterial
maycatchthesawchainandbewhippedtowardsyouorpillyouoffbalance.
• Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw switched off and
away from your body. When transporting or storing the chain saw always t
the guide bar cover.Properhandlingofthechainsawwillreducethelikelihoodof
accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing
accessories. Improperlytensionedorlubricatedchainmayeitherbreakor
increase the chance for kickback
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.Greasy,oilyhandlesare
slipperycausinglossofcontrol.
• Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not intended. For
example: do not use chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood
building materials.Useofthechainsawforoperationsdifferentthanintended
could result in a hazardous situation.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback
Kickbackmayoccurwhenthenoseortipoftheguidebartouchesanobject,orwhen
thewoodclosesinandpinchesthesawchaininthecut.
Tipcontactinsomecasesmaycauseasuddenreversereaction,kickingtheguidebar
upandbacktowardstheoperator.
Pinchingthesawchainalongthetopoftheguidebarmaypushtheguidebarrapidly
backtowardstheoperator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in
seriouspersonalinjury.Donotrelyexclusivelyuponthesafetydevicesbuiltintoyour
saw.Asachainsawuser,youshouldtakeseveralstepstokeepyourcuttingjobsfree
from accident or injury.
Kickbackistheresultoftoolmisuseand/orincorrectoperatingproceduresor
conditionsandcanbeavoidedbytakingproperprecautionsasgivenbelow:
• Maintain a rm grip, with thumbs and ngers encircling the chain saw
handles, with both hands on the saw and position your body and arm to
allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the
operator,ifproperprecautionsaretaken.Donotletgoofthechainsaw.
• Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height.Thishelpsprevent
unintendedtipcontactandenablesbettercontrolofthechainsawinunexpected
situations.
• Only use replacement bars and chains specied by the manufacturer.
Incorrectreplacementbarsandchainsmaycausechainbreakageand/orkickback.
• Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the
saw chain.Decreasingthedepthgaugeheightcanleadtoincreasedkickback.
Thisapplianceisnotintendedforusebypersons(includingchildren)withreduced

1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust.Powertoolscreatesparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.Distractionscancause
you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.Unmodiedplugsand
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. Thereisanincreasedriskofelectricshock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.Waterenteringapowertoolwill
increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.Damagedorentangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.UseofanRCDreducestheriskofelectricshock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol
or medication.Amomentofinattentionwhileoperatingpowertoolsmayresultinserious

parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use.Manyaccidentsarecausedbypoorlymaintainedpower
