using your cordless tool. Only use the
20
battery pack listed in the accessories section.
For switching on the tool, press the lock-out button,
then fully press the on/off switch and hold in this
position. The lock-out button can now be released.
For switching off, release the on/off switch.
NOTE: The chain brake must be activated in order for
the saw to be switched on.
7. CHAIN BRAKE LEVER (See fig. L)
The chain brake lever is a safety mechanism activated
through the front hand guard, when kickback occurs.
Chain stops immediately.
The following function check should be carried out at
regular intervals. Pull the front hand guard towards
the operator (position
To activate the chain brake, push front hand guard
forwards (position ).
Note: If the saw is unable to start, even though it is
assembled properly and working with fully charged
battery packs, then you should check if the chain brake
lever is in the correct position (position
8. CUTTING
Important: Is the oil tank filled? Check the
Oil Level Window prior to starting and
regularly during operation (See Fig. M). Refill oil
when oil level is low. A full oil tank will last
approx. 12 minutes of cutting depending on
sawing intensity and stops.
Check recent replaced chain tension about

).
every 10 minutes during operation.
(1) Installing the battery pack into the machine.
(2) Make sure section of log to be cut is not laying on
the ground. This will keep the chain from touching
the ground as it cuts through the log.
Touching the ground while the chain is moving is
dangerous and will dull the chain.
(3) Use both hands to grip saw. Always use left hand
to grip front handle and right hand to grip rear
handle. Use a firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must
wrap around saw handles. (See Fig. N)
(4) Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet-shoulder
width apart. Distribute your weight evenly on both
feet.
(5) When ready to make a cut, push the lock-out
button completely in with the right thumb
and squeeze the trigger. This will turn saw on.
Releasing the trigger will turn the saw off. Make
sure the saw is running at full speed before
starting a cut.
(6) When starting a cut, slowly place moving chain
against the wood. The wood should be as close to
the saw body as possible. Hold saw firmly in place
to avoid possible bouncing or skating (sideways
movement) of saw.
(7) Guide the saw using light pressure and do not put
excessive force on the saw, letting the saw do its
work. The motor will overload and can burn out. It
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was intended.
(8) Remove the saw from a cut with the saw running
at full speed. Stop the saw by releasing the on/off
switch. Make sure the chain has stopped before
setting the saw down.
(9) Keep practicing on scrap logs in a secure working
area until you are comfortable, using a fluid
motion and a steady cutting rate.
Kickback Safety Devices On This Saw
This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced
kickback Guide Bar. Both items reduce the chance of
kickback. However, kickback can still occur with this
saw.
The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.
• Use both hands to grip saw while saw is running.
Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap
around saw handles.
• Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make sure
they work properly.
• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
• Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
• Stand slightly to the left side of saw. This keeps
your body from being in direct line with chain.
• Do not let Guide Bar nose touch anything when
chain is moving.
• Never try cutting through two logs at same time.
Only cut one log at a time.
• Do not bury the Guide Bar nose or try plunge cut
(boring into wood using guide bar nose).
• Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that may
pinch chain.
• Use extreme caution when reentering a previous
