• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not intended. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for operation, sharpening and maintaining the saw chain. The risk of kickback is increased when the pole is in short position. Take special care when cutting undergrowth and young trees. Do not cut into the ground, metal fences or similar unsuitable items and materials.
As a chain saw user, you should take all necessary steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury. Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below: a) Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the pole saw handles, with both hands on the saw and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
Fig.1 Assembly of guide bar and saw chain 1. Place the chainsaw on a suitable flat surface. 2. Loosen nut (8) on sprocket cover (13), and remove sprocket cover (13) (fig.2) Fig 2 3. Place the chain (9) in the groove of the guide bar (10). Pay attention to the correct running direction, as shown by the rotation direction symbol (fig.3) Fig.3 4. Place the chain around the sprocket (15) and put the bar on such that the locating peg（14） fits into the slotted hole of the bar. (fig.
Fig.4 5. Install the sprocket cover (13) (fig.5): The thread bolt (18) is the holder for the nut (8). The hole (17) in the guide bar (10) is the holder for the chain tensioning pin (16). Turn the hand wheel (12) to adjust the chain tensioning pin (16) and make it into the hole (17). 6. Tighten the nut (8) lightly by hand, as the saw chain still has to be tensioned. (fig.5) Fig.5 PREPARATION BEFORE WORK Attention! Always pull out the main plug before inspection and adjustment work.
2. Turn hand wheel (12) in a clockwise direction until the correct chain tension is reached. (fig.6) Fig.6 3. The correct chain tension is reached when the chain in the middle of the bar can only be lifted by approximately 2 mm.(fig.7) Fig.7 4. Tighten the nut by turning it clockwise. (fig.6) 5. Check whether all chain links lie correctly in the guide tracks of the bar. Attention! Tensioning saw chain too tightly will overload the motor and cause damage. Insufficient tension can cause chain to derail.
Fig.8 Filling the oil tank (Fig. 8) • Place the chainsaw on a level surface. • Clean the area around the oil tank cap (7) and then open it. • Fill the oil tank with chainsaw oil. In doing so, make sure that no dirt gets into the oil tank so that the oil nozzle does not clog. • Close the oil tank cap (7).
Fig.9 1. Swing out the telescopic handle lock (5) on the telescopic handle (22). 2. Pull or push to adjust the length of the telescopic handle (22). 3. Lock the telescopic handle lock (5). Putting on the shoulder strap (Fig.10) Always wear a shoulder strap when working with the equipment. Always switch off the equipment before loosening the shoulder strap. 1. Put on the shoulder strap (3). 2. Adjust the strap length so that the carabiner hook is at hip height. Fig.10 3.
3. Wear the shoulder belt so that it lies over the left shoulder (Fig. 12). Fig 12 Connection to the main power supply • Connect the main power cable to a suitable extension cable. Make sure that the extension cable is designed to accommodate the power of the chain saw. • Secure the extension cable against tractive forces and accidental unplugging as shown in (Fig.13). Fig 13 OPERATION Switching on/off (Fig.
Fig 14 Switching off • Release the on/off switch (23). Always pull out the main plug when discontinuing the work. Safe work • Before beginning work and after dropping or other impacts, inspect the chainsaw in order to identify any significant damage to the housing, the main cable, the saw chain and the guide bar. Never use an obviously damaged machine. • Before beginning work and regularly during work, check oil level, lubrication system and chain tension.

Switch off the equipment before you take off the shoulder strap (risk of injury). And hold the pole saw firmly with both hands Working time and working posture Always keep a firm footing and balance position during operation. It takes lots of energy to cut the branches.
Fig 17 Make a relief cut when sawing thick branches. a) First saw through 1/3 of the branch diameter from bottom to top using the top side of the guide bar. b) Then saw from top to bottom to the first cut using the bottom side of the guide bar. c) Saw off longer branches in sections in order to maintain control over the location of impact.
