Operation
WARNING!
• Keep all parts of your body away from the saw’s chain
when the engine is running.
• Before you start the engine, make sure that the chain is
not in contact with anything.
• Carry the chainsaw with the engine stopped, the chain
bar and saw chain facing rearwards, and with the
exhaust away from your body.
• NEVER use a chainsaw which is damaged, incorrectly
set, incomplete or loosely assembled. Make sure
that the chain rotation stops when the chain brake is
applied.
• Shut off the engine before setting the chainsaw down.
• Use extreme caution when cutting small bushes and
saplings; slender material may catch in the saw chain
and be whipped towards you or pull you off balance.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for
spring back so that you will not be struck when the
tension in the wood bres is released.
• Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel
mixture.
• Operate the chainsaw only in well-ventilated areas.
• DO NOT operate a chainsaw from up in a tree unless
you have been specically trained to do so.
• All chainsaw servicing, other than the items listed in
the user manual safety and maintenance instructions,
should be performed by competent chainsaw service
personnel.
• When transporting your chainsaw, use the appropriate
chain bar cover.
• DO NOT operate your chainsaw near or around
ammable liquids or gases, whether inside or outdoors.
An explosion and/or re may result.
• Do not ll the fuel tank, oil reservoir or lubricate whilst
the engine of the chainsaw is running.
• USE THE CORRECT TOOL: Cut wood ONLY. Do not
use the chainsaw for purposes for which it was not
intended. For example, do not use the chainsaw for
cutting plastic, masonry or building materials.
• The engine will create toxic exhaust fumes as soon as
the engine is started. Never work in enclosed areas or
in areas with poor ventilation.
NOTE: The chainsaw is designed for non-commercial,
occasional use and for general work, such as stump
grubbing, and cutting rewood, etc. It is not designed
for lengthy use. If it is used for a lengthy period, the
vibrations it causes in the hands of the user may result
in circulation problems (white nger syndrome).
• The chain is designed exclusively for sawing wood. You
may only fell trees if you have received the appropriate
training. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for
damage caused by improper or incorrect usage.

• Please note that our equipment has not been designed
for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications.
Our warranty will be voided if the machine is used in
commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for the
equivalent purposes.
Kickback
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the chain
bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and
pinches the saw chain in the cut. If the bar tip contacts,
it may cause an extremely fast reverse reaction, kicking
the chain bar up and back towards the operator. Pinching
the saw chain along the top of the chain bar may push the
chain bar rapidly back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of
the saw, which could result in serious personal injury. Do
not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your
saw. As a chainsaw user, you should take several steps to
keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
NOTE: With a basic understanding of kickback, you can
reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden,
unexpected action contributes to accidents.
• Keep a good rm grip on the saw with both hands: the
right hand on the rear handle, and the left hand on the
front handle, when the engine is running. Use a rm
grip with thumbs and ngers encircling the chainsaw
handles. A rm grip will help you reduce kickback
and maintain control of the saw. Never let go of the
chainsaw.
• Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free
from obstructions. Do not let the nose of the chain bar
contact a log, branch, or any other obstruction which
could be hit while you are operating the saw.
• Cut at high engine speeds.
• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
• Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain.
• Only use replacement bars and chains specied by the
manufacturer or the exact equivalent.
• PINCHING the saw chain along the BOTTOM of the
cutting (chain) bar may PULL the saw forward away
from the operator.
• PINCHING the saw chain along the TOP of the cutting
(chain) bar may PUSH the chain bar rapidly back
towards the operator.
• Any of these reactions may cause you to lose control of
the saw, which could result in serious personal injury.

Beware of the following: Rotary recoil.
A = Recoil direction
B = Recoil reaction zone
Impact/jamming recoil and pulling reactions:
When cutting from under an object (see Pic. D) using the
top of the chain, the object may pinch the chain and cause
either a forward force on the chainsaw or a rearward force
on the object (see Pic. C).
When cutting from the top surface of an object (Pic. E)
using the bottom of the chain, the object may pinch the
chain and cause either a rearward force on the chainsaw
or a forward force on the object.
Maintenance and storage
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight, to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
• Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank
inside a building where fumes can reach an open
ame or spark.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
• To reduce the re hazard, keep the engine, silencer
and petrol storage area free of hedge trimmings,
leaves, or excessive grease.
• Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
• If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done
outdoors.
NOTE: Dispose of soiled maintenance material and
operating materials at the appropriate collection point.
Recycle packaging material, metal and plastics. Do not
dispose of with domestic, household waste.

Preparing to Operate the Chainsaw
Safety features
a. LOW KICKBACK SAW CHAIN: helps signicantly reduce kickback, or the intensity of
kickback, due to specially designed depth gauges and guard links.
b i. CHAIN BRAKE: is a safety feature designed to reduce the possibility of injury due to
kickback by stopping a moving saw chain in milliseconds. It is activated by the CHAIN
BRAKE lever.
b ii. CHAIN BRAKE LEVER/HAND GUARD: protects the operator’s left hand in the event it
slips off the front handle (while the saw is running) in the event of kick back.
c. STOP SWITCH: immediately stops the engine when tripped. The stop switch must be
pushed to the ‘START’ position to start or restart engine.
d. SAFETY TRIGGER LOCK: prevents accidental acceleration of the engine. The throttle
trigger cannot be squeezed unless the safety latch is de-pressed.
e. CHAIN CATCHER: reduces the danger of injury in the event that the saw chain breaks
or derails during operation. The chain catcher is designed to intercept a whipping chain.
NOTE: Study your saw and be familiar with its parts.

Step 1 - Chain brake mechanical test
WARNING!
The purpose of the chain brake is to reduce the possibility of injury due to
kickback; however, it cannot provide the intended measure of protection if the
saw is operated carelessly.
Always test the chain brake before using your saw and periodically while on the
job.
Your chainsaw is equipped with a chain brake that reduces the possibility of injury due to
kickback. The brake is activated if pressure is applied against the brake lever when, as in
the event of kickback, the operator’s hand strikes the lever. When the brake is actuated,
chain movement stops abruptly.
Before starting, test the chain brake by pushing it forward until an audible click is heard.
a. The chain brake is DISENGAGED (chain can move by hand) when the BRAKE LEVER
IS PULLED BACK AND LOCKED.
b. The chain brake is ENGAGED (the chain is locked) when the brake lever is pushed
forward. It should not be possible to move the chain by hand.
WARNING!
The brake lever should snap into both positions. If this is not the case, do not
use your saw. Contact the helpline immediately on 01904 727500.

1a Pull the chain cover lever out, and slightly loosen the chain cover.
1b Take off the blade protector. While holding up the tip of the bar, adjust the chain tension
by turning the tensioner screw until the chain engages in the bar channel.
1c While lifting the tip of the guide bar, tighten the bar knob securely (clockwise). Hand
tighten only!
NOTE: When tensioned correctly, it should be possible to pull one full chain link free of the
bar channel with ease.
A new chain will expand its length during the rst period of use. Check and re-adjust the
tension frequently, as a loose chain can easily derail or cause rapid wear of itself and the
chain bar.

CAUTION! If the saw chain is TOO LOOSE or TOO TIGHT the V-drive wheel, chain bar,
chain and crank shaft bearing will suffer premature wear. Above g. shows the correct
tension A (when cold) and tension B (when warm). Fig. C shows a chain that is too loose.
2 Tighten the chain cover.
Step 3 - Filling with engine fuel and lubrication
This product is powered by a 2-stroke engine and requires pre-mixing of petrol and
2-stroke oil. Use a high quality 2-stroke engine oil according JASO FC classic. Do not use
automotive oil or 2-stroke outboard oil. DO NOT mix quantities larger than usable in a 30-
day period.

FUEL MIXTURE: 1 Litre (1000ml) petrol: 25cc (25ml) 2-stroke engine oil (40:1 ratio)
Using a funnel and keeping the bottle level, pour the fuel in the left hand side (A) up to the
required level, e.g. 2.5 or 5, then ll the right hand side (B) up to the same corresponding
mark with oil. Shake vigorously to mix the two products prior to pouring into the tank (C).
NOTE: Use 5 for 500ml fuel mixture and 2.5 for 250ml fuel mixture.
FILLING THE LUBRICATION
Whenever you rell the fuel tank with petrol you must also top up the level of chain oil in the
chain oil reservoir (D). Use special chainsaw oil to lubricate the saw chain.
NOTE: Most stores will sell acceptable oil under the name ‘chainsaw chain oil’.
FILLING THE FUEL TANK
Clean the surface around the fuel cap to prevent contamination. Loosen the fuel cap slowly.
Remove and rest the cap on a clean surface. Carefully pour fuel into the tank to avoid
spillage. Prior to replacing the fuel cap, clean and inspect the seal located inside the fuel
cap . Immediately replace the fuel cap and hand tighten. Wipe up any fuel spillage.
NOTE: It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a new engine after rst use.
IMPORTANT!
The fuel mix is added into fuel tank (C), chain lubrication oil is lled into oil
reservoir (D). Seal one cap prior to removing the second cap. If you put the uid
into the wrong tank, call the customer helpline immediately on 01904 727500.
