2. CHARGING YOUR BATTERY PACK
The Li-ion battery is protected against deep discharging.
When the battery is empty, the machine is switched off by
means of a protective circuit.
In a warm environment or after heavy use, the battery pack
may become too hot to permit charging. Allow time for the
battery to cool down before recharging.
3. TO REMOVE OR INSTALL BATTERY PACK (See Fig. I1,
I2, I3)
Depress the Battery Pack Release Button to remove the
Battery Pack from your tool. After recharging, insert the
Battery Pack into the battery port. A simple push and slight
pressure will be sufficient until a click is heard. Check to see
if the battery is fully secured.
NOTE: When removing the battery pack, hold it firmly
to avoid dropping and injury.
4. Switching on and off (See Fig. J)
ATTENTION: Check the battery pack before
using your cordless tool. Only use the battery
pack listed in the accessories section.
For switching on the tool, press the Lock-Out Button
(15), then fully press the On/Off Switch (2) and hold in this
position. The Lock-Out Button can now be released.
For switching off, release the On/Off Switch.
5. CUTTING
IMPORTANT: Is the oil tank filled? Check the Oil
Level Window (14) prior to starting and
regularly during operation (See Fig. K1). 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 (7) 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(4) and right hand to grip Rear Handle (1).
Use a firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around
saw handles. (See Fig. K2)
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
(15) 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
Cordless Chain Saw
speed. Stop the saw by releasing the On/off Switch (2). 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 cut.
• Use only the low-kickback chain and Guide Bar (6) that
were supplied with this chain saw or recommended.
• Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp with
proper tension.
How to use Saw Safely
1. Use the chain saw only with secure footing.
2. Hold the chain saw at the right-hand side of your body
(See Fig. L).
3. The Chain (7) must be running at full speed before it
makes contact with the wood.
4. Use the Bumper Spikes (13) to secure the saw onto the
wood before starting to cut.
5. Use the Bumper Spikes as a leverage point while
cutting. (See Fig. M)
6. Do not operate the chain saw with arms fully extended,
attempt to saw areas which are difficult to reach, or
stand on a ladder while sawing (see Fig. N).
Never use the chain saw above shoulder height
CUTTING WOOD UNDER TENSION (See fig. O)
WARNING: When cutting a limb that is under
tension, use extreme caution. Be alert for wood
springing back. When wood tension is
released, limb could spring back and strike operator
causing severe injury or death.
When sawing logs supported on both ends, start the
cut from above(Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into the log
(overbuck) and then finish the cut (Z) from below, in order
to avoid contact of the chain saw with the ground. When
sawing logs supported on only one end, start the cut from
below (Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into the log (underbuck)
and finish the cut from above (Z) in order to avoid log
splitting or jamming of the chain saw.
