2. Install Saw Chain: Place chain on bar, ensure cutting teeth face forward.
3. Adjust Chain Tension: Use tensioner screw to achieve proper tension.
4. Fill Oil Tank: Use recommended bar and chain oil.
5. Fuel Mix (Petrol): Mix petrol and 2-stroke oil as specified.

WARNING! Always wear protective gloves during assembly. Ensure chain is properly tensioned before use.

First-Time Use

Perform safety checks before starting.

1. Check Chain Tension: Chain should snap back when pulled from bar.
2. Check Oil Level: Ensure oil tank is filled.
3. Clear Work Area: Remove obstacles and ensure stable footing.
4. Start Engine/Motor: Follow starting procedure for your model.
5. Test Chain Brake: Activate brake to ensure proper function.

CAUTION! Never operate without proper personal protective equipment (PPE).

Specifications

• Power Source: Petrol (2-stroke) or Electric (Corded/Cordless).
• Guide Bar Length: Typically 14-18 inches.
• Chain Speed: Varies by model (e.g., 15-20 m/s).
• Oil Capacity: 200-300ml for chain lubrication.
• Fuel Capacity (Petrol): 400-500ml.
• Weight: 4-6 kg (depending on model).
• Safety Features: Chain brake, safety trigger lock, low-kickback chain.
• Vibration Level: Reduced through anti-vibration system.

Controls and Settings

Main Controls: Throttle Trigger, Safety Trigger Lock, Chain Brake Lever, Stop Switch, Choke (Petrol), Primer Bulb (Petrol).

Adjustments: Chain Tension (via side screw), Idle Speed (petrol models), Oil Flow Rate (adjustable on some models).

Operation: Press safety lock while pulling throttle trigger. Chain brake activates manually via hand guard or automatically via inertia. Stop switch cuts power immediately.

Operating Instructions

Proper cutting techniques for safety and efficiency.

1. Starting Position: Place on ground, secure with foot in handle.
2. Starting Procedure: Engage chain brake, set choke, pull starter cord.
3. Cutting: Use lower part of bar; avoid tip to prevent kickback.
4. Limbing: Cut from top of log, support branch properly.
5. Buckling: Cut from top, rotate log for complete cuts.
6. Stopping: Release throttle, engage chain brake, turn off engine.

Tip: Let chain do the work; don't force the saw. Maintain firm grip with both hands.

Maintenance & Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and safety.

1. Daily: Clean air filter, check chain tension, sharpen chain.
2. Weekly: Clean spark plug (petrol), check bar for wear.
3. Monthly: Clean cooling fins, check all nuts and bolts.
4. Seasonal: Replace fuel filter, clean carburetor (petrol).

CAUTION! Always disconnect spark plug or power source before maintenance.

Safety Features

Chain Brake: Stops chain within milliseconds if kickback occurs. Safety Trigger Lock: Prevents accidental throttle activation. Low-Kickback Chain: Reduces kickback force. Hand Guard: Protects hands from debris. Vibration Dampening: Reduces fatigue and improves control.

Storage & Transport

Empty fuel tank (petrol) before storage. Clean entire saw thoroughly. Apply protective oil to bar and chain. Store in dry, secure location with bar cover installed.

CAUTION! Transport with bar cover and chain brake engaged. Secure in vehicle to prevent movement.
