◾ When the log is supported on both ends, as Fig. W3
shown, cut 1/3 the diameter from the top (overbuck).
Then make the nished cut by underbucking the lower
2/3 to meet the rst cut.
◾ When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill
side of the log, as Fig. X shown.
◾ 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.
Don’t 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: When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a
hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING: Always wear protective gloves when
performing any maintenance to the chain saw.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, remove
the battery pack from the chain saw before inspecting,
cleaning, or performing maintenance. A battery operated
tool with the battery pack inserted is always on and can
start accidently.
WARNING: When cleaning the chain saw, DO NOT
immerse in water or other liquids.
WARNING: Do not at any time let brake uids, petrol,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in
contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken,
or destroy plastic, which may result in serious personal
injury.
CLEANING
◾ After each use, clean debris from the chain and guide
bar with a soft brush. Wipe the chain saw surface with
a clean cloth moistened with a mild soap solution.
◾ Remove the side cover, and then use a soft brush to
remove debris from the guide bar, saw chain, sprocket
and side cover.
◾ Always clean out wood chips, saw dust, and dirt from
the guide bar groove when replacing the saw chain.
REPLACING THE BAR AND CHAIN
WARNING: Never touch or adjust the chain while the
motor is running. The saw chain is very sharp.
NOTICE: When replacing the guide bar and chain, always
use the specied bar and chain combination listed in the
manual.
Disassemble the Worn Bar and Chain (Fig. Y)
1. Remove the battery, allow the saw to cool and tighten
the oil tank cap.
2. Position the chain saw on its side with the side cover
facing upwards.
3. Wear gloves. Remove the side cover by turning the
side cover knob counterclockwise. Clean the side
cover with a dry cloth.
NOTICE: This is a good time to inspect the drive sprocket for
excessive wear or damage.
Assemble The New Bar And Chain
Follow the instructions in the ASSEMBLING/REPLACING
THE BAR AND CHAIN section in this manual.
Adjust The Chain Tension
Follow the instructions in the ADJUSTING THE CHAIN
TENSION section in this manual.
CHAIN MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Always wear gloves when handling the
saw chain; these components are sharp and may contain
burrs.
Use only low-kickback chains on this saw. This fast cut-
ting chain will provide kickback reduction when properly
maintained.
A properly sharpened saw chain cuts through wood effortless-
ly, even with very little pressure.
Never use a dull or damaged saw chain. A dull saw chain
cutter leads to increased physical strain, increased vibration
load, unsatisfactory cutting results and increased wear.
For smooth and fast cutting, the chain needs to be
maintained properly. The chain requires sharpening when
the wood chips are small and powdery, the chain must be
forced through the wood during cutting, or the chain cuts
to one side. During maintenance of your chain, consider
the following:
