allow metallic objects into your charger 
or battery pack connections because 
of an electrical failure and hazard will 
occur.
NOTE: Your battery pack is UNCHARGED and 
you must charge once before use.
The battery charger supplied is matched to 
the Li-Ion battery installed in the machine. Do 
not use another battery charger.
2. CHARGING YOUR BATTERY PACK 
The Li-ion battery is protected against deep 
discharging. When the battery is empty, 
the machine is switched off by means of a 
protective circuit.
In a warm environment or after heavy use, the 
battery pack may become too hot to permit 
charging. Allow time for the battery to cool 
down before recharging.
3. TO REMOVE OR INSTALL BATTERY 
PACK (See Fig. G)
Depress the Battery Pack Release Button to 
remove the Battery Pack from your tool. After 
recharging, insert the Battery Pack into battery 
port (See Fig. G). A simple push and slight 
pressure will be sufficient until a click is heard. 
Check to see if the battery is fully secured.
NOTE: When removing the battery pack, 
hold it firmly to avoid dropping and 
injury.
4. BATTERY STATUS LED’S (See Fig. H)
NOTE: The Status LED’s will indicate the 
battery condition when the button on 
the battery is pressed.
The LED’s constantly senses and displays the 
battery condition as follows:
Press the button “POWERTEST”, the light 
button is illuminated.
When the three green lights are illuminated, 
the battery is in a highly charged condition. 
When two lights (   ) are illuminated, the 
battery is in a moderately charged condition.
When only one green light (   ) is illuminated, 
the battery charge is depleted. 
IMPORTANT: When only one light is 
illuminated, your battery is overly 
discharged, even though the tool may 
still be capable of working. Continuing 
to operate your tool with the battery in 
this discharged condition may reduce 
the life and performance of your battery.
5. SWITCHING ON AND OFF (See Fig. I)
For switching on the machine, press the 
Lock-off Button (3), then fully press the On/Off 
Switch (2) and hold in this position. The Lock-
Off Button (3) can now be released.
For switching off, release the On/Off Switch (2).  
Cutting
IMPORTANT: Is the oil reservoir 
filled? Check the Oil Level Window 
(18) prior to starting and regularly 
during operation. Refill oil when oil level 
is low. A full oil tank will last approx. 20 
minutes depending on sawing intensity 
and stops (See Fig. J).
Check recent replaced chain tension 
about every 10 minutes during 
operation.
1.  Install the battery pack into the machine 
(See Fig. G). 
2.  Make sure section of log to be cut is not 
laying on the ground. This will keep the 
Chain (8) from touching the ground as it 
cuts through the log. Touching the ground 
while the Chain is moving is dangerous 
and will dull the Chain.
3.  Use both  hands to grip saw. Always use 
left hand to grip front handle and right 
hand to grip rear handle. Use a firm grip. 
Thumbs and fingers must wrap around 
saw handles (See Fig. K).
4.  Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet 
shoulder width apart. Divide your weight 
evenly on both feet.
5.   When ready to make a cut, push the 
Lock-off Button (3) completely in with the 
right thumb and squeeze the trigger. This 
will turn the saw on. Releasing the trigger 
will turn the saw off. Make sure the saw is 
running at full speed before starting a cut.
6.   When starting a cut, slowly place the 
moving chain against the wood. Hold saw 
firmly in place to avoid possible bouncing 
or skating (sideways movement) of saw.
7.   Guide the saw using light pressure and 
do not put excessive force on the saw. The
