surface, so that the tank cap is facing upwards. Lift
up the semicircular plate and rotate the oil tank cap
counterclockwise to remove it (Fig. H).
4. Carefully pour the bar and chain oil into the tank. Fill
to the MAX Line.
5. Wipe off any excessive oil and replace the cap.
NOTICE:
Check the oil level frequently and fill when the oil
level falls below the minimum line. Never operate the chain
saw if the oil is not visible.
ATTACHING/DETACHING THE BATTERY PACK
Fully charge before first use.
Use only with battery packs and chargers listed in fig.A2.
To Attach (Fig. I)
Align the battery ribs with the mounting slots and slide
the battery pack into the tool until it audibly snaps into
position.
To Detach (Fig. J)
Depress the battery-release button and pull the battery
pack out.
STARTING/STOPPING THE CHAIN SAW
NOTICE:
Before starting the chain saw, check for the oil
level, saw teeth sharpness and properly working kickback
brake handle. Besides, balanced footing and proper
distance away from the ground are needed.
To Start
1. Pull the chain kickback brake handle towards the
front handle to the operating position.(Fig. K)
2. Grasp the front and rear handles firmly, using both hands.
3. Press and hold the lock-off button with the thumb
of your right hand, then squeeze the variable-speed
trigger switch with the fingers of your right hand to
start the saw (Fig. L).
4. Release the lock-off button and continue to squeeze
the trigger for continued operation.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to start the saw when the
saw chain is in a cut.
To Stop
1. Release the variable-speed trigger switch to stop the
chain saw.
2. Push the chain kickback brake handle forward to the
brake position to engage the chain brake (Fig. K).
WARNING:
Always remove the battery pack from the
chain saw during work breaks and after finishing work.
Proper Grip On Handles (Fig. M)
◾
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
◾
With the saw on a firm, flat surface, hold the saw firmly
with both hands.
◾
Always grasp the front handle with the left hand and
the rear handle with the right hand.
◾
The fingers should encircle the handle, with the thumb
wrapped under the front handle
WARNING:
Never use a left-handed (cross-handed)
grip, or any stance which would place your body or arm
across the chain line (Fig. N).
Proper Cutting Stance (Fig. O)
◾
Both feet should be on solid ground, with weight evenly
spread between them.
◾
The left arm should be straight, with the elbow locked.
This helps to withstand the forces generated by
kickback.
◾
Your body should always be to the left of the chain line.
INSTRUCTIONS CONCERNING THE PROPER TECHNIQUES
FOR BASIC FELLING, LIMBING, AND CROSS-CUTTING
WARNING:
Always be sure of your footing and hold the
chain saw firmly with both hands while the motor is running.
WARNING:
When the saw chain is stopped due to
pinching during cutting, release the trigger switch; remove
the saw chain and guide bar from the wood, then restart the
chain saw.
WARNING:
Do not pull the saw chain with hand when
it is bound by the sawdust. Serious injury could result if the
chain saw starts accidentally. Press the saw chain against the
wood, move the chain saw back and forth to discharge the
debris. Always remove the battery pack before cleaning. Wear
heavy protective gloves when handling the saw chain.
WARNING:
Never start the chain saw when it is in
contact with the wood. Always allow the chain saw reach full
speed before applying the saw to the wood.
FELLING A TREE
◾
When bucking and felling operations are being
performed by two or more persons at the same time,
the felling operation should be separated from the
bucking operation by a distance of at least twice the
height of the tree being felled. Trees should not be
felled in a manner that would endanger any person,
strike any utility line or cause any property damage.
If the tree does make contact with any utility line, the
utility company should be notified immediately.
◾
The chain saw operator should stand on the uphill
side of the terrain, as the tree is likely to roll or slide
downhill after it is felled.
