under tension should be cut from the bottom up, to avoid
binding the chain saw.
BUCKING A LOG
See figure 12 - 15
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to
make sure your footing is firm and your weight is evenly
distributed on both feet. When possible, the log should be
raised and supported by the use of limbs, logs or chocks.
Follow the simple direction for easy cutting:
1. When the log is supported along the entire length, it is
cut from the top (over buck).
2. When the log is supported on one end, cut 1/3 of the
diameter from the underside (under buck). Then make
the finished cut by over bucking to meet the first cut.
3. When the log is supported on both ends, cut 1/3 of
that diameter from the top (over buck). Then make the
finished cut by under bucking the lower 2/3 to meet
the first cut.
4. When bucking on a slope, always stand on the up-
hill 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.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Always remove the battery pack from the machine
before
checking
the
chain
adjustments to the chain. Wear protective gloves while
touching the chain, bar or areas around the chain.
ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION
See figure 2 and figure 7
Loosen the chain cover lock nuts (item 15) with the
supplied wrench. The chain cover lock nuts do not
have to be completely removed in order to adjust the
chain tension.
Rotate the chain adjustment screw(item 13) clockwise
to increase the chain tension and rotate
counterclockwise to decrease the chain tension.
Once the chain is at the desired tension, tighten the
chain cover lock nuts(item 15).

TRANSPORTING THE CHAIN SAW
Before transporting the chain saw, always remove the
battery pack from the chain saw and slide the chain cover
over the bar and chain. If several cuts are to be performed
with the chain saw, the saw must be switch off between
cuts.
GUIDE BAR COVER
See figure 1
The chain cover (item 1) must be clipped onto the chain
and bar as soon as the sawing work has been completed
and whenever the machine has to be transported.

Remove the battery from the chain saw.
Remove the supplied wrench(item 11) from the rear handle
(item 12).
Remove the two chain cover lock nuts (item 15) from chain
cover by rotating them counterclockwise with the wrench.
Remove the chain cover(item 14) from the mounting surface.
The bar and chain can now be removed by lifting it away from
the main body of the saw and releasing the chain from the
sprocket.
Remove the old chain from the bar.
Lay out the new saw chain in a loop and straighten any kinks.
The cutters should face in the direction of chain rotation. If they
face backwards, turn the loop over.
Place the chain drive links into the bar groove.
Position the chain so there is a loop at the back of the bar.
Hold the chain in position on the bar and place the loop around
the sprocket.
Fit the bar flush against the mounting surface so that the bar
studs are in the long slot of the bar. Ensure that the chain is
over the sprocket.
Replace the chain cover.
Remove all slack from the chain by turning the chain adjustment
screw(item 13) clockwise until the chain seats snugly against
the bar with the drive links in the bar groove(item 20).
Lift the tip of the guide bar up to check for sag.
Release the tip of the guide bar and turn the chain adjustment
screw 1/2 turn clockwise. Repeat this process until sag does
not exist.
Hold the tip of the guide bar up and tighten the chain cover
lock nuts by turning them with the wrench. The chain is correctly
tensioned when there is no sag on the underside of the guide bar,
the chain is snug, but it can be turned by hand without binding.
Unscrew and remove the cap (item 6) from the oil tank.
Pour the oil into the oil tank and monitor the oil level
gauge (item 7). Ensure that no dirt enters the oil tank
while filling the oil in.
Put the oil cap back on and tighten it up.
One full oil tank will enable you to use the saw for 20-
40
min.
