-  the chain life of the saw chain mainly depends upon 

suicient lubrication and correct tensioning

-  avoid tensioning the chain if it is hot, as this will cause 

the chain to become overtensioned when it cools 
down

•  Lubrication 

!

Chain life and cutting capacity depend on optimum 

lubrication; therefore the chain is automatically oiled 

during operation via oil outlet L 

2

!  the chain saw is not supplied filled with oil; it is 

essential to fill with oil before use

!  never operate the chain saw without chain oil or 

at an empty oil reservoir level, as this will result 

in extensive damage to the product

-  set chain saw on any suitable surface with oil reservoir 

cap M facing upward

-  unscrew cap and add chain saw oil (not included) until 

reservoir is full

-  avoid dirt or debris entering oil reservoir
-  mount oil reservoir cap and tighten

!  check oil level prior to starting and regularly 

during operation; refill oil when oil level is below 

indicator N

-  the oil reservoir illing will last approx. 15 minutes, 

depending on sawing intensity and stops

-  never use recycled/old oil

•  Cord restraint 

@

-  hook the loop in the extension cord over restraint P as 

illustrated

-  pull tight to secure the extension cord

•  On/of 

#

-  switch on tool by irst pressing safety switch Q and 

then pulling trigger switch R

-  switch of the tool by releasing trigger R

!  do not stop chain saw after sawing by activating 

front hand guard S 

2

 (= kickback brake)

•  Kickback brake 

$

The kickback brake is a safety mechanism activated 

through front hand guard S, when kickback occurs -> 

chain stops immediately

The following function check should be carried out at 

regular intervals:

-  push front hand guard S forward and start the chain 

saw -> the chain must not start

-  to deactivate the kickback brake, release trigger switch 

R and pull hand guard S backwards

•  Operating the tool 

%

-  always hold the chain saw irmly with both hands (front 

handle T with the left hand and rear handle U with the right 

hand); never operate chain saw using only one hand 

%

a

-  ensure power cord is located to the rear, away from the 

chain and wood and so positioned that it will not be 
caught on branches or the like during cutting

!  the chain must be running at full speed before it 

makes contact with the wood

- use 

metal

 gripping teeth V to secure the saw onto the 

wood before starting to cut 

%

a

-  use the gripping teeth as a leverage point “

✱

” while 

cutting 

%

a

-  reset the gripping teeth at a lower point when sawing 

thicker logs by pulling the chain saw slightly 

backwards until the gripping teeth release, and 

reposition at a lower level to continue sawing; do not 

remove the saw completely from the wood

-  do not force the chain while cutting; let the chain do 

the work, using gripping teeth V to apply minimum 

leverage pressure

-  use the chain saw only with secure footing

-  hold the chain saw at the right-hand side of your body 

%

b

-  do not operate the chain saw with arms fully extended 

or attempt to saw areas which are diicult to reach, or 

on a ladder 

%

c

-  never use the chain saw above shoulder height 

%

d

-  sawing is optimized when the chain speed remains 

steady during cutting

!  beware when reaching the end of the cut; the 

weight of the saw may change unexpectedly as it 

cuts free from the wood (accidents may occur to 

legs and feet)

!  always remove the saw from a wood cut while the 

saw is running

•  Cutting logs

-  support logs so that the face sides at the cut do not 

close in against each other, which would result in the 
chain being jammed or pinched

-  position and set short logs safely prior to sawing

-  when sawing, always take care to avoid hitting stones, 

nails, etc., as these could be thrown up or cause 

damage to the chain or serious injury to the operator 

or bystanders

!  keep a running chain clear of wire fencing or the 

ground

-  length cuts must be carried out with care, as leverage 

with gripping teeth V 

2

 is not possible; saw at a lat 

angle to avoid kickback

-  there is a high risk of accidents when sawing wood, 

branch or trees under tension; be extremely careful 

(

leave saw jobs like these to professionalsl

)

•  Bucking a log (cutting a log into lengths)

-  when possible, the log should be raised and supported 

by the use of limbs, logs or chocks

-  it is important to make sure your footing is irm and 

your weight is evenly distributed on both feet

-  when the log is supported along its entire length as 

illustrated, it is cut from the top (overbuck) 

^

a

-  when the log is supported on one end as illustrated, 

cut 1/3 the diameter from the underside (underbuck); 

then make the inished cut by overbucking to meet the 

irst cut 

^

b

-  when the log is supported on both ends as illustrated, 

cut 1/3 the diameter from the top (overbuck); then 

make the inished cut by underbucking the lower 2/3 to 

meet the irst cut 

^

c

-  when bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill 

side of the log

-  when “cutting through”, to maintain complete control 

release the cutting pressure near the end of the cut 

without relaxing your grip on the chain saw handles

!  do not let the chain contact the ground

-  after completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop 

before you move the chain saw

-  always stop the motor before moving from tree to tree
