Trueshopping Safety Precautions Before starting the machine please read this owner’s manual carefully to understand how to operate this unit properly. Keep the manual handy. The first time user should have practical instructions from ain experienced person, in using a chain saw and the protective equipment.
Page 21 Trueshopping You should never use the product when under the influence of alcohol, when suffering from exhaustion or lack of sleep or when tired. These all result in a lower attention span which causes accidents and injury to you and others.
Page 22 Trueshopping Never use the product under circumstances like those described below:  When the ground is slippery or when other conditions exist which might make it not possible to maintain a steady posture.  At night, at times of heavy fog, or at any other times when your field of vision might be limited and it would be difficult to gain a clear view of the area.
Page 23: Protecting Others
Trueshopping Never smoke whilst operating the machine. The fuel it uses is highly flammable. Likewise keep away from any source of sparks or heat. Protecting Others Always be sure to include this manual when selling, lending or otherwise transferring the ownership of this product.
Page 24: Protecting The Machine
Trueshopping Protecting The Machine Always carry the chain saw in its case, particularly when carrying it in your car or van. A flying chain saw is a dangerous item to have in the case of an accident. Always keep the chain guard on the chain when carrying the chain saw around.
Page 25 Trueshopping When refilling the tank always turn off the engine first and take a careful look around to make sure that there are no sparks or open flames anywhere nearby before refuelling. If any fuel spillage occurs during refuelling, use a dry rag to wipe up spills before turning the engine back on again.
Page 26: Before Using The Machine

Page 31: Starting The Chain Saw
Trueshopping Starting The Chain Saw Figure 27 Parts of the Chain saw 1. Ensure that you have the correct fuel mixture. 2. Make sure the chain brake (the black lever ① in diagram) is fully pushed forwards into the lock position. This ensures the chain does not spin freely when starting.

Page 38: Operating The Machine
Trueshopping Operating The Machine It is recommended to first practice sawing easy logs. This also helps you get accustomed to your unit. Removal of the safety devices, inadequate maintenance, or incorrect replacement of the bar or chain may increase the risk of serious personal injury.
Page 39 Trueshopping It is extremely important that the chain brake is checked for proper operation before each use and that the chain is sharp in order to maintain the kickback safety level of this saw. Never start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing and a planned retreat path from the falling tree.
Page 40 Trueshopping Cut at the correct engine speeds for the size and position of the sapling, branch or tree. Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height. It is not necessary to force the saw into to the cut, Apply only light pressure while running the engine at full throttle.
Page 41 Trueshopping Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and saplings because slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped towards you or pull you off balance. When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back so that you will not be struck when the tension in the wood fibbers is released.
Page 42 Trueshopping Someone should be with you in case of an accident when you are using the chain saw, particularly if you are in a remote area. Have the telephone number and address of the nearest emergency unit, and always carry a first-aid kit when you work in the woods.
Page 43: Kickback Safety Precautions
Trueshopping Kickback Safety Precautions Be aware that the chain saw may kickback if it gets stuck in the limb or branch you are cutting. See the next section for more information. With a basic understanding of kickback you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise.
Page 44 Trueshopping Keep a good grip on the saw with both hands, the right hand on the rear handle, and the left hand on the front handle, when the engine is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles. A firm grip will help you reduce kickback and maintain control of the saw.
Page 45: Chain Saw Operation
Trueshopping Chain Saw Operation When using a chain saw to cut firewood, trim trees or harvest large timber, you need to perform three basic operations: felling, limbing and bucking. Felling involves cutting a standing tree and dropping it in the place you want it.
Page 46: Felling A Tree
Trueshopping Felling A Tree Felling a tree can cause problems sometimes. You always want to ensure that you know exactly where the tree is going to land. Here is the 3 step plan. 1) Examine the Tree and Surroundings Look for any rot in the tree, where the branches are placed and how tall the tree is.
Page 47: Plan At Least Two Escape Routes
Trueshopping Ensure that there are no other trees in the area that you expect your tree to fall. This may cause the felled tree to become lodged in the other tree, or worse still, bounce off the tree and cause injury or damage. 2) Plan at Least Two Escape Routes The first escape route should be opposite the planned direction of the tree fall and the...
Page 48: Make The Cuts
Trueshopping 3) Make the Cuts Clear the area around the base of the tree from all brush, tree limbs and other obstructions. If the tree is less than ¼m then make the cut through the trunk. If the tree is larger then make two cuts – the undercut and the back cut.
Page 49 Trueshopping 1,2 Undercut: is a V shaped notch on the side of the tree on the side that is in the direction of felling. The first cut (2) of the V is made parallel to the ground and then the other slanting cut (1) is made.
Page 50: Figure 41 Felling The Tree
Trueshopping Figure 41 Felling The Tree The angled hinge means that the tree will start to fall on the narrow section of the hinge while the wood at the thicker section of the hinge is still intact. The tree is therefore pulled toward the thick section.
Page 51: Figure 42 Keep A Safe Distance
Trueshopping Figure 42 Keep A Safe Distance Beware: Falling trees have been known to bounce backward over the stump and injure an unwary operator. www.TrueShopping.co.uk Page: 51 of 71...
Page 52: Limbing A Tree
Trueshopping Limbing a Tree Never limb a tree when the limb is above shoulder height as this may cause you to lose control of the chain saw. Examine the Tree Evaluate a fallen tree to ensure that it is not lodged in another tree and not fallen completely to the ground.
Page 53: Cutting The Limbs
Trueshopping Cutting the Limbs Stand firmly on the ground in a balanced position that gives freedom movement. Ensure that you will not slip. Start at the bottom of the tree and work your way to the top, removing branches on the opposite of the tree.
Page 54: Bucking A Tree
Trueshopping Bucking a Tree This is the process of cutting a tree into usable lengths and can be done as you are limbing the tree. If the tree is laying on the ground, ensure that you do not get your saw blade caught in the earth or on any other debris that may be present.
Page 55: Maintenance
Trueshopping Maintenance Always be sure to turn off the engine before performing any maintenance or checking procedures. Leave all maintenance other than mentioned in this manual to your servicing dealer. The metallic parts reach high temperatures immediately after stopping the engine. Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer or the equivalent.
Page 56: Chain Oil
Trueshopping Chain Oil Use motor oil SAE#10W-30 all year round or SAE #30-#40 in summer and SAE #20 in winter. Do not use wasted or regenerated oil that can cause damage to the oil pump. Changing Oil Supply Be sure to refill the oil tank every time when refuelling the unit.
Page 57: Carburettor Antifreeze Mode
Trueshopping When adjusting, take the following steps:  Be sure to adjust the carburettor with the bar chain attached and the unit turned off.  Stop engine and screw in both H and L needles until they stop. Never force. Then set them back the initial number of turns shown below.
Page 58: How To Switch To Anti Freeze Mode
Trueshopping Under normal circumstance the product should be used in normal operating mode, i.e., in the mode to which it is set at the time of shipment however when the possibility exists that icing may occur. The unit should be set to operate in anti-freeze mode before use.
Page 59: Sprocket
Trueshopping Sprocket Check for cracks and for excessive wear that may be interfering with the chain drive. If the wear is found then replace it with new one. Never fit a new chain on a worn sprocket, or a worn chain on a new sprocket. Saw Chain It is very important for smooth and safe operation to keep the cutters sharp.
