OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2. Kickback Safety Devices on This Chainsaw
Chain Brake
The chainsaw comes equipped with a chain brake,
which stops both the motor and the motion of the
chain when kickback occurs. The chain brake can
be activated by the forward motion of the chain
kickback brake paddle as the saw rotates backward
during kickback; it can also be activated by the
inertial forces generated during rapid pushback.
WARNING
• Never modify or attempt to disable the chain
brake.
Make sure that the chain brake is working properly
before using the chainsaw. The chain kickback brake paddle should move back and forth
easily.
To test the operation of the chain brake, perform the following steps:
• Place the chainsaw on a flat bare surface and make sure no objects or obstructions that
could come in contact with the bar and chain are in the immediate vicinity.
• Disengage the chain brake by pulling the chain kickback brake paddle (E) towards the front
handle.
• Start the chainsaw.
• Push the chain kickback brake paddle towards the front of the saw. A properly functioning
hand brake will stop the movement of the chain immediately. If the chain brake is not
working properly, do not use the chainsaw until it has been repaired by a qualified service
technician.
WARNING
• Confirm that the chain brake works properly before each use.
• If the chain brake is clogged with wood chips, the function of the chain brake may
deteriorate. Always keep the device clean.
3. To Attach Battery Pack
a. Align the mounting grooves on the battery pack
with the raised ribs in the chainsaw's battery
port, as shown.
b. Slide the battery pack into the tool until it snaps
into position.
NOTICE: Make sure that the latch on the chainsaw
snaps into place and the battery pack is secured
to the tool before beginning operation. Improper
assembly of the battery pack can cause damage to
internal components.
