Functions

REMOVE THE BATTERY FROM THE CHAINSAW

• To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool while pressing the button on the front of the cartridge. To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it into place. Insert it until it locks in place with a little click.

SWITCH ACTION

To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool, depress the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop the tool.

Assembly

INSTALLING OR REMOVING SAW CHAIN

• Loosen the screw by turning counterclockwise the knob until the sprocket cover comes off. Remove the sprocket cover. Remove the saw chain and guide bar from the tool.
• Fit one end of the saw chain on the top of the guide bar. At this time, fit the saw chain as shown in the figure because it rotates in the direction of the arrow.
• Insert the hook of the sprocket cover into the hole in the tool, and then place the sprocket cover on the tool.
• Turn the knob clockwise to tighten the screw firmly.

Adjusting Tension

Just a slight loosening of the screw allows the saw chain tension to be adjusted. After adjusting, tighten the screw firmly.

Lubrication

The Saw chain is automatically lubricated when the tool is in operation. Check the amount of remaining oil in the oil tank periodically. Check the amount of remaining oil in the oil tank through the oil inspection window. To refill the tank, remove the cap from the oil tank opening. After refilling the tank, always screw the provided oil tank cap on the chainsaw.

• Never use oil, including dust and particles, or volatile oils.
• Before cutting out, make sure that the provided oil tank cap is screwed in place. Hold the chainsaw away from the tree. Start it and wait until the lubrication on the saw chain is adequate.

Pruning Trees

• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the motor is operating.
• Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands when the motor is running.
• Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet.
• Bring the lower guide into contact with the branch to be cut before switching it on. Cutting without bringing the lower guide into contact with the branch may cause the guide bar to wobble, resulting in injury to the operator. When cutting thick branches, first make a shallow undercut and then make the finish cut from the top.
• If you try to cut off thick branches from the bottom, the branch may close in and pinch the saw chain in the cut. If you try to cut off thick branches from the top without a shallow undercut, the branch may splinter.
• For better cutting, use the lower guide of the chainsaw.

Carrying Tools

Always remove the battery cartridge from the tool and overlap the guide bar with the scabbard before carrying the tool. Also, cover the battery cartridge with the battery cover.

• Remove the battery from the chainsaw before servicing.
• Severe injury or death could occur from body contact with a moving chain.
