Start and stop
• Make sure the chain brake is undamaged and operating properly (see page 15).
• Check right hand-guard for damage.
• Check entire saw for loose screws and damaged or missing components. Cable insulation
must be intact, with no cracks or deterioration. Plug connectors must be undamaged.
• Ensure that the power trigger and lockout are undamaged.
• Use only an AC power supply which is identical to that specified on the nameplate of the saw.
• Secure the tool cable to the extension cord by making a knot to prevent disconnection.
• Make sure the oil tank is full.
• Maintain correct chain tension.
• NEVER carry the chain saw by its cable.
• Store the chain saw unplugged in a dry place out of reach of children.
• Drain the oil tank before storing your electric chain saw for 30 days or more.
• Avoid dangerous situations. An electric power tool gives off sparks that can ignite explosive
substances and mixtures. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or use them in damp, wet,
gaseous or explosive environments. Keep work area well lit.
WARNING!
• Always disconnect power cable before fitting parts or adjusting the saw.

All elctrical repairs to this saw, including housing, trigger, motor, etc., must be diagnosed and
performed by an Authorized Service Dealer. Operations performed by untrained persons may
lead to failure of the double insulation and result in injury.
STOP
WARNING!
• Never start the chain saw without the bar, chain and clutch cover assembled.
The clutch can loosen and cause personal injury.
• Never operate an electric chain saw holding it with only one hand.
Always maintain a firm, solid grip with both hands on the handles.
• Take care that the chain makes no unintended contact with anything when you squeeze the
power triggger and the chain begins rotating. Make additionally sure that your footing is secure.
• Keep people and animals well away from work area.
• Make certain your extension cable is in good condition. The cable should be approved for
outdoor use. When using an extension cable, ensure that it is heavy enough to carry the current
your tool will draw. An undersized cable will cause a drop in line voltage, loss of power and
overheating. The wire gauge should not be less than 14 AWG / 2 x 2.0 mm

STOP
Starting up
Grasp the front handle with your left hand and the rear handle with
your right hand. Push in the power trigger lockout using yout right
thumb, and sqeeze the power trigger.
NOTE! If you are left-handed:
Your electric chain saw is designed to be gripped with your right
hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle.
ALL PEOPLE, WHETHER RIGHT OR LEFT-HANDED, SHOULD
USE THIS GRIP. Using the opposite grip - right hand / front handle,
left hand / rear handle - gives you less control of the saw.
It also brings the bar and chain closer to your body during normal
operation. It is also possible you will not be able to activate the
chain brake if your right hand is holding the front handle.
To stop
The saw will stop when you release the power trigger.
