Never try cutting through two logs at same time, only cut one log at a time.   

-

 

Do not bury guide bat 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 low-kickback chain and guide bar supplied with this chain saw. Only replace 
these parts with chains ad guide bar listed in this manual.   

-

 

Never use dull or loose chain, keep chain sharp with proper tension. 

-

 

Do not hand sharpen chain on automatic chain sharpening (fast sharp) models.   

 

Avoid jamming 

Always cut into the compression wood first until the cut starts to close. Always make the 
compression cut beneath if the log or limb is suspended from one end, and on top if it is 
supported at both ends, cut from the other side towards the compression cut, make a 
habit of using a wedge to prevent the compression cut jamming tight on the chainsaw 
blade.  
 

Extension cord support 

During use of the chainsaw. The extension cord will continually be pulled as you move 
from one area to another. 
A cord retention hook    has been provided on the housing of the chainsaw to assist in 
preventing the electrical connection between the extension cord and chainsaw plug being 
forced apart.   
Note: the support is for the extension cord, and not the cable from the chainsaw.   
1.  to fit the extension cord to the support. Make a tight loop in the extension cord, 

approximately 300mm from the socket on the extension cord.   

2.  fit the loop into the rectangle recess in the back portion of the chainsaw.   
3.  push the loop all the way through the housing by approximately 25 mm.   
4.  push each side of the loop downwards so each side of the loop fits over the cord 

retention hook.   

5.  to seat the cable firmly. Gently pull one of the two lengths of extension cable on the 

right hand side of the chainsaw.   

6.  after , and only after the cable is correctly seated, plug the chainsaw plug into the 

socket of the extension cable.   

Before start-up   
1.  check the tool and cable are in good working order before staring the chain saw.   
2.  make sure that the chain lubrication is working and check the oil level.   
3.  check the chain tension and the operation of the chain brake.   
 
Caution

 

Pass the extension cable over your shoulder and pay attention that it always stays behind 
you while you are working. Never pass the cable over the saw chain, it is likely to be 
caught by the chain.
