VIBRATION The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help reduce hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The directive requires power tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test results to enable users to make informed decisions as to the period of time a power tool can be used safely on a daily basis and the choice of tool.

Correct direction of cutting-teeth Chain brake Tip contact may cause the guide bar to move suddenly upward and backwards. Which may cause serious injury to user. Contact of the guide bar tip with any object should be avoided Do not use one handed when operating the chain saw. Always use two hands when operating the chain saw.
Unscrew the clamp nut with spanner (supplied) and remove chain cover. (See Fig.4) Fig. 4 Ensure the chain tensioning screw (12) is slackened sufficiently to allow the locking pin (11) maximum travel.(see Fig. 5) Max. Max. Fig. 5 CHAIN SAW 2000W TTB355CHN...

Wearing thick protective gloves, drape the chain over the guide bar ensuring the direction(A) of travel is as marked on the guide bar and it is fully engaged in the guide bar sprocket.(see Fig. 6 & 7) Fig. 6 Fig. 7 Fit the bar/chain assembly up to the locking pin (11) and tighten chain tension screw (12) for ensure fully engaged on the drive sprocket (13).
In cases where the loosened chain needs to be adjusted, always unscrew the adjustable outside ring before adjusting the chain tensioning screw/knob; adjust the tension and tighten the bar retainging nut/knob accordingly. Fig. 12 CHAIN SAW 2000W TTB355CHN...

1). Make sure the chain brake level is disengaged. The motor will not start if the chain brake is in the engaged position. Disengage the chain brake level by pulling Fig. 14 backward toward the front handle. (See Fig. 14). CHAIN SAW 2000W TTB355CHN...

6. GENERAL BEHAVIOR. Always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands. Front grip with the left hand and rear grip with the right hand. Fully grip both handles at all times during operation. Never operate chain saw using only one hand. Ensure power cord is located to the rear, away from the chain and wood and so positioned that it will not be caught on branches or the like during cutting.

When sawing logs supported on only one end, start the cut from below (Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into the log and finish the cut from above (Z) in order to avoid log splitting or jamming of the chain saw. CHAIN SAW 2000W TTB355CHN...
Page 22
9. GENERAL CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS. 1). Felling trees. (See Fig. 23) Always wear hard hat to protect head against falling branches. The chain saw can only be used to fell trees smaller in diameter than the length of the guide bar. - Secure work area.
Page 23
- When the log is supported on both ends, as illustrated, cut 1/3 the diameter from the top overbuck. Then make the finished cut by underbucking the lower 2/3 to meet the first cut. (See Fig. 27) Fig. 27 CHAIN SAW 2000W TTB355CHN...
Page 24
- When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the log, as illustrated. When “cutting through”, to maintain complete control release the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the chain saw handles.
“low-kickback” or a saw chain which meets the low-kickbackperformance. A standard saw chain (a chain which soes not have the kickback reducing guard links) should only be used by an experienced professional chain saw operator. CHAIN SAW 2000W TTB355CHN...
7. Sharpening chain 1). Never saw with a blunt chain. The chain is blunt when you have to push the chainsaw into the tree and the chips are very small. The saw-link is the part of the chain which does the sawing. 2).The height-distance between the tooth A and the ridge B is the cutting depth.
