OPERATION
1. BEFORE USING YOUR CORDLESS TOOL
WARNING! The charger and battery pack are
specially designed to work together so do not
attempt to use any other devices. Never insert
or 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. I1, I2, I3)
Depress the Battery Pack Release Button to remove the
Battery Pack from your tool. After recharging, insert
the Battery Pack into the battery port. 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. Switching on and off (See Fig. J)
ATTENTION: Check the battery pack
before using your cordless tool. Only use
the battery pack listed in the accessories
section.
For switching on the tool, press the Lock-Out
Button (15), then fully press the On/Off Switch (2) and
hold in this position. The Lock-Out Button can now be
released.
For switching off, release the On/Off Switch.
5. CUTTING
IMPORTANT: Is the oil tank filled? Check
the Oil Level Window (14) prior to
starting and regularly during operation
(See Fig. K1). Refill oil when oil level is low. A
full oil tank will last approx. 12 minutes of
cutting depending on sawing intensity and
stops.
Check recent replaced chain tension about
every 10 minutes during operation.
1) Installing the battery pack into the machine.
2) Make sure section of log to be cut is not laying
on the ground. This will keep the chain (7) 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(4) and right hand to grip Rear
Cordless Chain Saw
Handle (1). Use a firm grip. Thumbs and fingers
must wrap around saw handles. (See Fig. K2)
4) Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet-shoulder
width apart. Distribute your weight evenly on both
feet.
5) When ready to make a cut, push the Lock-Out
Button (15) completely in with the right thumb
and squeeze the trigger. This will turn 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 moving chain
against the wood. The wood should be as close to
the saw body as possible. 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, letting the saw do its
work. The motor will overload and can burn out. It
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was intended.
8) Remove the saw from a cut with the saw running at
full speed. Stop the saw by releasing the On/off Switch
(2). Make sure the chain has stopped before setting
the saw down.
9) Keep practicing on scrap logs in a secure working
area until you are comfortable, using a fluid motion
and a steady cutting rate.
Kickback Safety Devices On This Saw
This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced
kickback Guide Bar. Both items reduce the chance of
kickback. However, kickback can still occur with this
saw.
The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.
• Use both hands to grip saw while saw is running.
Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap
around saw handles.
• Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make sure
they work properly.
• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
• Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
• Stand slightly to the left side of saw. This keeps
your body from being in direct line with chain.
• Do not let Guide Bar nose touch anything when
chain is moving.
• Never try cutting through two logs at same time.
Only cut one log at a time.
• Do not bury the Guide Bar nose or try plunge cut
(boring into wood using Guide Bar nose).
• Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that may
pinch chain.
• Use extreme caution when reentering a previous
cut.
• Use only the low-kickback chain and Guide Bar
(6) that were supplied with this chain saw or
recommended.
• Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp
with proper tension.
How to use Saw Safely
1. Use the chain saw only with secure footing.
2. Hold the chain saw at the right-hand side of your
