To remove battery pack from tool:
Release the
battery release button (2) and pull battery pack
out of tool.
NOTE: Always release the ON/OFF Button before
insertion or removal of the battery pack.
a. Place the saw body on a rm and level surface.
b. Rotate the Cover Knob to remove the Side
Cover from the saw’s body.
(Fig.2)
c. Please check the direction of the Saw Chain
(Fig.3)
. And then with the help of protective
gloves, wrap the saw chain around the Guide
Plate, making sure that the teeth are facing the
correct direction. The chain should be properly
set in the slot running along the entire outside
edge of the Guide Plate
(Fig.4)
d. Place the Saw Chain around the sprocket while
lining up the slot on the Guide Plate with the bolt
in the base of the tool.
(Fig.5)
The chain tension-
ing knob need to align with the bolt.
e. Use the screwdriver to screw the bolt and tight
the plate.
(Fig.6)
f. Turn the Cover Knob to tighten the Guide Plate
enough that it stays in place . While holding the
plate still, place the Side Cover back onto the
saw. Make sure the tab properly lines up with the
slot on the body of the saw. Lock the cover with
the Cover Knob until it engages.
(Fig.7)
WARNING:

1. Check the chain tension by pulling the saw away
from the guide bar. A properly tensioned chain
should have roughly 1/8 inch of distance be-
tween itself and bar guide.
(Fig.8)
2. If adjustments are needed, loosen the bar adjust-
ment locking knob one full turn.
3. To adjust the saw chain tension, rotate the chain
tensioning wheel. Rotating the wheel upwards
increases the tension while rotating it downwards
decreases tension. A properly tensioned chain
should have no sag and should only be able to
be pulled 1/8 inch(3 mm) away from the guide
bar of the saw.
(Fig.9)
4. Once the chain is properly tensioned, tighten the
bar adjustment locking knob. Do not over-tension
the chain: this will lead to excessive wear and
reduces the life of both the bar and chain.
SAWING TECHNIQUES
Lubrication of the chain
Chain Saw Operation
To turn the tool
ON:
Press the lock-o󰀨 button(1) and
the squeeze the switch trigger(2). After the tool has
started, you can release the lock-o󰀨 button without
turning the tool o󰀨.
To turn the tool
OFF
: Release the Switch Trigger(2).
WARNING:
Release switch trigger, alow
saw to come to a complete stop, and then
remove battery.
NOTE:
The saw chain must be tensioned
propery in order to ensure safe operation.
The chain tension is optimal if the saw chain
can be ited 1/8 inch (3 mm) from the center
of the guide bar. Since the saw chain heats
up during operation, its length can therefore
uctuate. Check the chain tension every 10
minutes of operation and adjust as necessary,
particularly for new saw chains. Slacken the
saw chain after the work is completed since
it shortens when cooling down. In doing so,
you can elongate the chain’s life and prevent
damage.clean.
OPERATION &
MAINTENACE
a. Open the oil cap and add around 1.7 oz oil.
b. After cutting 5-6 pieces of wood, please press
the transparent ball 2-3 times to lubricate the
chain.

1. Saw o󰀨 the lower branches on the tree rst. By
doing so, it is easier for the cut branches to fall to
the ground.
2. At the end of the cut, the weight of the saw sud-
denly increases for the user since it is no longer
being supported by a branch. There is a risk of
losing control of the saw, so make sure to stay
alert during the entire sawing operation.
3.Only pull the saw out of a cut while the saw is
running. By doing so, you prevent the chain from
jamming in the wood.
4.Do not saw with the tip of the guide bar. Do not
saw into the branch formations (where the tree
branches outwards). This will impede the tree’s
ability to heal.
5.For sawing o󰀨 smaller branches, place the stop
face of the saw on the branch. This prevents un-
wanted movements of the saw at the beginning
of the cut. While applying light pressure, guide
the saw through the branch from top to bottom.
6.For sawing o󰀨 larger branches, rst make a relief
cut. Saw through 1/3 of the branch diameter from
the bottom to top using the top side of the guide
bar. Then saw from top to bottom for the other
2/3 using the bottom side of the guide bar. Saw
o󰀨 longer branches in sections in order to main-
tain control over the location of impact.
1. The term kickback refers to when the saw sud-
denly jumps up and back. This is usually caused
by the workpiece coming into contact with the
guide bar tip or the clamping of the saw chain.
2. A kickback generates an abrupt powerful force.
The saw usually reacts in an uncontrolled man-
ner, creating the possibility of injury to the user.
3. The danger of a kickback is greatest when
attempting to cut near or with the guide bar tip.
Always apply the saw as atly as possible in
order avoid a loss of control during operation.
1. Regularly clean the tensioning mechanisms by
blowing compressed air onto it or by cleaning it
with a brush. Do not use any tools for the clean-
ing.
2. Keep the oil away from the handle in order to
ensure a secure hold.
3. Clean the machine as necessary with a damp
cloth and a mild cleanser, if appropriate.
4. If the chain saw is not used for an extended pe-
riod of time, remove the chain oil from the tank.
Briey place the chain and the guide bar in an oil
bath and then wrap in oil paper to dry.
5.Always replace the protective cover for transport or
storage of the chain saw. Secure the tool during
transport to avoid damage or injuries. Unplug the
power supply before cleaning. Never immerse
the machine in water or other liquids. Store the
chain saw in a safe and dry area away from chil-
dren.
REPLACING THE SAW CHAIN AND GUIDE BAR
CHECKING THE AUTOMATIC CHAIN LUBRICATION
The guide bar must be replaced if the groove of the
guide is worn out or the spur wheel in the guide bar
is damaged or worn out.
Regularly check the functionality of the automatic
chain lubrication in order to prevent overheating and
the subsequent damage to the guide bar and saw
chain associated with it. For this purpose, align the
guide bar tip against a smooth surface (board, cut-in
of a tree) and allow the chain saw to run. If an in-
creasing amount of oil appears, the automatic chain
lubrication functions properly.
PREVENTING KICKBACK
