In the event of a kickback occurring, the left hand should come into contact with the chain
brake stopping the chain immediately by moving it to position ‘0’. See fig 1.
The operation of the chain brake must be checked prior to each use.
To reset the chain brake disconnect from the mains and snap it backwards (towards the
operator) into position ‘1’. See fig 1.
Re-check the chain tension before re-starting.
10 ASSEMBLY
10.1 To assemble the chain and bar
 Using the spanner undo the Clamp Nut (8) and remove the chain cover (14)
 Ensure the chain tensioning screw (9) is slackened sufficiently to allow the locking pin (15)
maximum travel.
 Wearing thick protective gloves, drape the chain (1) over the guide bar (2) ensuring the
direction of travel is as marked on the chain cover and it is fully engaged in the guide bar
sprocket.
 Offer the bar/chain assembly up to the locking pin and tensioning screw ensuring it is fully
engaged on the drive sprocket (16)
 Refit the cover and nut, but do not fully tighten the nut.
 Using the hex wrench, tighten the tensioning screw until the chain has approximately 2mm
of slack.
 Fully tighten clamp nut.
10.2 Lubricating oil for the saw chain
 Before starting up your new chain saw, the container must be filled with chain saw oil.
(Available in our product range: POWOIL003 - 1L & POWOIL006 - 5L)
 It allows operating the chain saw at ambient temperatures down to as low as -15°C.
 Never use waste oil for lubricating the saw chain.
 To top the saw up with lubricating oil unscrew the filler cap (6). Make sure that no dirt gets
into the oil container while filling up. The oil level can be checked through the gauge glass.
11 POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
 The chain saw has purposely been fitted with a comparatively short power lead to reduce
the risk of the lead being cut by the saw chain while working with the tool.
 It is best to fit the strain relief strap supplied between the plug on the saw’s power lead
and the coupler socket on the extension cord, to prevent the plug from being
unintentionally pulled out of the coupler socket.
 Before plugging the extension cord into the supply socket check the cord for damage and
deterioration. Never operate the chain saw if the supply lead is not in perfect condition.
 The electricity supply where the chain saw is connected to should be provided with an
earth leakage or residual current device with a tripping current of not more than 30mA.
12 OPERATION
12.1 Switching on and off
 Connect the tool to a mains power supply.
 Depress the safety lock off button (12) whist squeezing the main switch (13).
 Release the main switch to stop the tool.
