one‑handed operation.
Oiling (Fig. A, K)
WARNING: A high quality bar and chain oil or SAE30
weight motor oil should be used for chain and bar
lubrication. The use of a vegetable based bar and
chain oil is recommended when pruning trees. Never
use waste oil or very thick oil. These may damage your
chain saw.
1. Before first use and every ten minutes of use you must
oil the product with the recommended chain oil. Open
the oiling cover
4
and insert the bottle into the oil
filling hole
17
apply pressure to the bottle once to
dispense oil.
2. This should be adequate for about 10 minutes of cutting
depending upon cutting speed and type of wood.
3. The hole feeds the oil through to the chain onto the
chain bar and an excessive amount of oil applied to
the unit could mean the oil drips from the unit around
the jaw area. This is normal and is nothing to be
concerned about.
Switching On and Off (Fig. A, L)
To open the handles, slide the latch
the handles apart. Ensure a firm grip on the handles and
then squeeze both on/off switch actuators
unit on.
For your safety, this tool is equipped with a double switching
system. This system prevents starting the tool inadvertently.
nOTE: Both switches must be activated for the product to
be used.
Do not force the tool ‑ allow it to do the work. It will do a
better and safer job at the speed for which it is designed.
Excessive force will stretch the chain.
Clearing a Jammed Saw Chain or Bar (Fig. A)
1. Switch the tool off.
2. Remove the battery from the tool.
3. Open the cut with wedges to relieve the strain on the
guide bar. Do not try to wrench the saw free. Start a fresh
cut. After use, close the handles and slide the latch
forward to the lock position. The handles should be
locked during transportation and storage.
Trimming Branches
1. Make sure the tool is running at full speed before making
a cut.
2. Hold the tool firmly in place to avoid possible bouncing
or sideways movement of the tool.
3. Guide the tool using light pressure.
4. Always cut down from the top. This way you will avoid
pinching the saw chain.
5. Remove branches. Starting from branch tip reduce
the branch in logical steps cutting off small sections.
When cutting a limb that is under tension be aware of
