WARNING! When using electric tools, basic safety precautions, including the following, should always be followed to reduce the risk
of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
Read all these instructions before operating this product and save these instructions.
WARNING: Take care not to expose this tool to rain
and remove plug from mains immediately if the
supply cable is damaged.
1.
Keep work area clean
Cluttered areas invite injuries. Do not start cutting until you
have a clear work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat
path from the falling tree.
2.
Consider work area environment
Use extreme caution when cutting small sized brush and
sapling, as slender material may catch the saw chain and be
whipped toward you or pull you off balance. Do not operate
a chain saw in a tree unless you are specifically trained to
do so. When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for
spring back so that you will not be struck when the tension
in the wood fibers is released.
3.
Store idle chain saw
When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, high or
locked up place, out of reach of children.
4.
Do not force the chain saw
The chain saw will do a better and safer job when used at
the rate for which it was intended.
5.
Use the right tool
Cut wood only. Do not use the chain saw for purposes for
which it was not intended. For example, do not use the
chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry, or non-building
materials.
6.
Dress properly
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry, as they can get
caught in moving parts. Non-skid footwear is recommend-
ed when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
7.
Use safety gear
Use safety glasses, safety footwear, snug fitting clothing,
protective gloves, and protective hearing and head gear.
8.
Carrying the saw
Carry the saw by the front handle with the saw stopped.
Keep your finger off the switch, and make sure that the
guide bar and saw chain are to the rear.

from the socket. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and
sharp edges.

Inspect the chain saw cords periodically and, if damaged,
have them repaired by an authorized service facility. Keep
the cord clear of the chain and operator at all times. Never
carry the saw by the cord or pull it to disconnect from
receptacle. Keep the cord from oil and sharp edges. Inspect
the extension cords periodically and replace if damaged.

ance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing
accessories. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.

Ensure switch is off when plugging in.
16. Use outdoor extension leads
Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use
and which are so marked.
17. Stay alert
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not
operate the chain saw when you are tired. Keep all parts of
your body away from the saw chain when the motor is oper-
ating. Before you start the saw, make sure the saw chain is
not contacting anything.
18. Check damaged parts
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it
will operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, free running of mov-
ing parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other condi-
tions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorized service centre unless otherwise indicated in this
instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by an
authorized service facility. Do not use the tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off.

19. Warning!
The use of any accessory or attachment, other than those
recommended in this instruction manual, may present a
risk of personal injury.
20. Have your tool repaired by a qualified person
This electric tool is in accordance with the relevant safety
requirements. Repairs should only be carried out by quali-
fied persons using original spare parts, otherwise this may
result in considerable danger to the user.
WARNING: 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 light-
ning-fast reverse action, kicking the guide bar rap-
idly 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 injury to the
user. The following precautions should be followed
to minimize kickback.
21. Guard against KICKBACK
A.
GRIP SAW FIRMLY: Hold the chain saw firmly with
both hands when the motor is running. Keep a good
firm grip on the saw with both hands, the right hand
on the rear handle, and the left hand on the front han-
dle.
B.
Do not over reach.
C.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
D.
Do not let the nose of the guide bar contact a log,
branch, ground or other obstruction.
E.
Do not cut above shoulder height.
F.
Use devices, such as low-kickback chain, guide bar
nose guards, chain brakes and special guide bars,
which reduce the risks associated with kickback.
G.
Use only replacement bars and chains specified by the
manufacturer or the equivalent.
H.
There are no other replacement components for
achieving kickback protection in accordance with CSA
Z62.3.
22. Power supply
Connect the chain saw to correct voltage; be sure that the
voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the name-
plate of the tool.
23. DO NOT operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly
adjusted, or not completely and securely assembled. Be
sure that the saw chain stops moving when the trigger is
released.
24. DO NOT attempt operations beyond your capacity or expe-
rience.
25. DO NOT operate a chain saw with one hand! Serious injury
to the operator, helpers, or bystanders may result from one-
handed operation. A chain saw is intended for two-handed
use.
26. TO REDUCE potential for electric shock, do not operate the
saw on wet or slippery surfaces, or during snow storms,
rain storms, and other adverse weather conditions.
27. Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or grease.
28. DO NOT allow dirt, debris or sawdust to build up on the
motor or outside air vents.

and campers, and for such general applications such as
clearing, pruning, cutting firewood, etc. It is not intended for
