BUCKING A LOG
See ¿ gure 12 - 15
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to
make sure your footing is ¿ rm and your weight is evenly
distributed on both feet. When possible, the log should be
raised and supported by the use of limbs, logs or chocks.
Follow the simple direction for easy cutting:
1. When the log is supported along the entire length, it is
cut from the top (over buck).
2. When the log is supported on one end, cut 1/3 of the
diameter from the underside (under buck). Then make
the ¿ nished cut by over bucking to meet the ¿ rst cut.
3. When the log is supported on both ends, cut 1/3 of
that diameter from the top (over buck). Then make the
¿ nished cut by under bucking the lower 2/3 to meet
the ¿ rst cut.
4. When bucking on a slope, always stand on the up-
hill side of the log. When cutting through, to maintain
complete control, release the cutting pressure near the
end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the chain
saw handles.
Do not let the chain contact the ground. After completing
the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you move
the chain saw. Always stop the motor before moving from
tree to tree.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Always remove the battery pack from the machine
before checking the
adjustments to the chain. Wear protective gloves while
touching the chain, bar or areas around the chain.
ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION
See ¿ gure 2
„ Un-tighten the sprocket cover tighten knob (item 15)
slightly by turning it counterclockwise.
„ To increase the chain tension, turn the chain tensioner
adjustment knob (item 13) clockwise and check the
chain tension frequently. To reduce the chain tension,
turn the chain tensioner adjustment knob (item
13) counterclockwise and check the chain tension
frequently.
„ The chain tension is correct when the gap between the
cutter in the chain and the bar is between 3mm-4mm.
Pull the chain in the middle of the lower side of the
bar downwards (away from the bar) and measure the

distance between the bar and the chain cutters.
„ Tighten the sprocket cover tighten knob (item 15) by
turning it clockwise.
REPLACING THE BAR AND CHAIN
See Figure 2, 3, 5, 7
„ Put the saw down on a flat and even surface to make
adjustments to the chain.
„ Make sure that you have the correct replacement
bar and chain as advised earlier in the specification
section of this manual.
„ Unscrew the sprocket cover tighten knob (item 15) by
turning it counterclockwise until the sprocket cover
(item 14) comes loose.
„ Remove the sprocket cover. Remove the bar and saw
chain from unit.
„ To replace the bar with the new one, unscrew the nut
of the safety tip, mount the safety tip on to the new bar
and tighten the nut.
„ Put the new chain in the correct direction as shown in
figure 7 onto the bar and make sure that the drive links
are aligned in the bar groove (figure 5).
„ Attach the bar to the chain saw and loop the chain
around the drive sprocket as shown in figure 3.
„ Replace the sprocket cover (item 14), tighten sprocket
cover and tighten knob (item 15).
„ Follow the steps the section "ADJUSTING THE CHAIN
TENSION" earlier in this manual.
ADDING CHAIN & BAR LUBRICANT
„ Unscrew and remove the cap (item 6) from the oil tank.
„ Pour the oil into the oil tank and monitor the oil level
gauge (item 7). Ensure that no dirt enters the oil tank
while filling the oil in.
„ Put the oil cap back on and tighten it up.
„ One full oil tank will enable you to use the saw for 20-
40 min.
TRANSPORTING THE CHAIN SAW
Before transporting the chain saw, always remove the
battery pack from the chain saw and slide the chain cover
over the bar and chain. If several cuts are to be performed
with the chain saw, the saw must be switch off between
cuts.
GUIDE BAR COVER
See ¿ gure 1
The chain cover must be clipped onto the chain and bar
as soon as the sawing work has been completed and
whenever the machine has to be transported.
