SAFETY WARNINGS

z_WARNING: Read all safetywarnings

and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in

electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE

REFERENCE

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers

to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well

lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite

accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in

explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids,

gases or dust. Power tools create

sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders

away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose
control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the

outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter

plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and

matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or

grounded surfaces such as pipes,

radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or

grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain

or wet conditions. Water entering

a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use

the cord for carrying, pullingor

unplugging the power tool. Keep

cord away from heat, oil, sharp

edges or moving parts. Damaged or

entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool

outdoors, use an extension cord

suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces

the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp

location is unavoidable, use a

rOUnd fault circuit interrupter

FCl) protected supply. Use of

a GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are

doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do

not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence of

drugs, alcohol or medication. A

moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious

personal injury.

b) Use persona/protective equipment.

Always wear eye protection.

Protective equipment such as dust

mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for

appropriate conditions will reduce

personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting.

Ensure the switch is in the off

position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack,

picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger

on the switch or energizing power

tools that have the switch on invites

accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or

wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left

attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal

injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from

moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry
or long hair can be caught in moving

parts.

g) If devices are provided for the

connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.

Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use

the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool

will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the

switch does not turn it on and

off. Any power tool that cannot

be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the

power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before

making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety

measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of

the reach of children and do not
allow persons unfamiliar with the

power tool or these instructions

to operate the power tool. Power

tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving
parts,breakage of parts and any

other condition that may affect the

power tool's operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before

use. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to

bind and are easier to control

g) Use the power tool, accessories

and tool bits, etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking into

account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could

result in a hazardous situation.

5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Recharge only with the charger

specified by the manufacturer. A
charger that is suitable for one type of

battery pack may create a risk of fire

when used with another battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with

specifically designated battery

packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.

c) When battery pack is not in use,

keep it away from other metal

objects like paper clips, coins,

keys, nails, screws, or other small
metal objects that can make a

connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns

or a fire.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid

may be ejected from the battery,
avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid

contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the

battery may cause irritation or burns.

6) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a

qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This

will ensure at the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

CHAIN SAW SAFETY

WARNINGS:

• Keep all parts of the body away from
the saw chain when the chain saw is

operating. Before you start the chain
saw, make sure the saw chain is not

contacting anything. A moment of

inattention while operating chain saws
may cause entanglement of your clothing
or body with the saw chain.

• Always hold the chain saw with your
right hand on the rear handle and
your left hand on the front handle.

Holding the chain saw with a reversed
hand configuration increases the risk of

personal injury and should never be done.

• Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces only, because the

saw chain may contact hidden wiring.

Saw chains contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an

electric shock.

• Wear safety glasses and hearing
protection. Further protective
equipment for head, hands, legs
and feet is recommended. Adequate

protective clothing will reduce personal

injury by flying debris or accidental
contact with the saw chain.

• Do not operate a chain saw in a tree.

Operation of a chain saw while up in a
tree may result in personal injury.

• Always keep proper footing and
operate the chain saw only when
standing on fixed, secure and level
surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces

such as ladders may cause a loss of
balance or control of the chain saw.

• When cutting a limb that is under
tension be alert for spring back. When

the tension in the wood fibers is released
the spring loaded limb may strike the

operator and/or throw the chain saw out

ofcontrol.

• Use extreme caution when cutting
brush and saplings. The slender material

may catch the saw chain and be whipped
toward you or pull you off balance.

• Carry the chain saw by the front
handle with the chain saw switched

off and away from your body. When
transporting or storing the chain

saw always fit the scabbard. Proper
handling of the chain saw will reduce the

likelihood of accidental contact with the
moving saw chain.

• Follow instructions for lubricating,
chain tensioning and changing

accessories. Improperly tensioned or

lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.

• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from
oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are

slippery causing loss of control.

• Cut wood only. Do not use chain
saw for purposes not intended. For

example: do not use chain saw for
cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood

building materials. Use of the chain

saw for operations different than intended
could result in a hazardous situation.

CAUSES AND OPERATOR
PREVENTION OF KICKBACK:

Kickback may occur when the nose or tip
of the guide bar touches an object, or when

the wood closes in and pinches the saw

chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a

sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide
bar up and back towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the
guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly

back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you

to lose control of the saw which could

result in serious personal injury. Do not
rely exclusively upon the safety devices

built into your saw. As a chain saw user,
you should take several steps to keep your
cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/
or incorrect operating procedures or

conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below:

• Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs
and fingers encircling the chain saw

handles, with both hands on the saw
and position your body and arm to
allow you to resist kickback forces.

Kickback forces can be controlled by the
operator, ff proper precautions are taken.
Do not let go of the chain saw.

• Do not overreach and do not cut above
chest height. This helps prevent unintended

tip contact and enables better control of the

chain saw in unexpected situations.

• Only use replacement bars and chains

specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect

replacement bars and chains may cause
chain breakage and/or kickback.

• Follow the manufacturer's sharpening
and maintenance instructions for the

saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge

height can lead to increased kickback.

THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS

SHOULD BE FOLLOWED TO
MINIMIZE KICKBACK:

(1.) Grip Saw Firmly. Hold the chain saw firmly

with both hands when the motor is running.

Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers
encircling the chain saw handles. Chain saw
will pull forward when cutting on the bottom
edge of the bar, and push backward when

cutting along the top edge of the bar.

(2.) Do not over reach.

(3.) Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

(4.) Don't let the nose of the guide bar
contact a log, branch, ground or other

obstruction.

(5.) Don't cut above shoulder height.

(6.) Use devices such as tow kickback
chain and reduced kickback guide bars that

reduce the risks associated with kickback.

(7.) Only use replacement bars and chains

specified by the manufacturer or the
equivalent.

(8.) Never let the moving chain contact any
object at the tip of the guide bar.

(9.) Keep the working area free from
obstructions such as other trees, branches,

rocks, fences, stumps, etc. Eliminate or
avoid any obstruction that your saw chain
could hit while you are cutting through a

articutar log or branch.

10.) Keep your saw chain sharp and

properly tensioned. A loose or dull chain
can increase the chance of kickback.

Check tension at regular intervals with the

motor stopped and toot unplugged, never
with the motor running.

(11.) Begin and continue cutting only with
the chain moving at full speed.If the chain

is moving at a slower speed, there is a
greater chance for kickback to occur.

(12.) Cut one tog at a time.

(13.) Use extreme caution when re-entering
a previous cut. Engage ribbed bumpers into

wood and allow chain to reach full speed

before proceeding with cut.

(14.) Do not attempt plunge cuts or bore cuts.

(15.) Watch for shifting logs or other forces that
could close a cut and pinch or fall into chain.

KICKBACK SAFETY FEATURES

zLWARNING: The following features

are included on your saw to help reduce the

hazard of kickback; however such features
will not totally eliminate this dangerous

reaction. As a chain saw user do not rely
only on safety devices. You must follow all

safety precautions, instructions, and

maintenanceinthismanualtohelpavoid

kickbackandotherforceswhichcanresult
inseriousinjury.

• Reduced-Kickback Guide Bar,

designed with a small radius tip which
reduces the size of the kickback danger

zone on bar tip. A reduced - kickback
gduidebar is one which has been

emonstrated to significantly reduce the

number and seriousness of kickbacks
when tested in accordance with safety

requirements for electric chain saws.

• Low-Kickback Chain, designed with a
contoured depth gauge and guard link

which deflect kickback force and allow
wood to gradually ride into the cutter. A

low-kickback chain is a chain which has
met kickback performance requirements

of ANSI B175.1-2012.

• Do not operate chain saw while in
a tree, on a ladder, on a scaffold, or

from any unstable surface.

• Hold tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may

contact hidden wiring. Contact with a
"live" wire wilt make exposed metal parts

of the tool "live" and shock the operator.

• Do not attempt operations beyond
your capacity or experience. Read

thoroughly and understand completely all

instructions in this manual.

• Before you start chain saw, make sure
saw chain is not contacting any object.

Do not operate a chain saw with one
hand! Serious injury to the operator,

helpers, or bystanders may result

from one handed operation. A chain

saw is intended for two-handed use only.

• Keep. the handles dry, clean, and free
of oil or grease.
Do not allow dirt, debris, or sawdust to

build up on the motor or outside air vents.

. Stop the chain saw before setting it down.

Do not cut vines and/or small under brush.

• Use extreme caution when cutting
small size brush and saplings because

slender material may catch the saw chain
and be whipped toward you or pull you

off balance.

z_WARNING: Some dust created by

power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities contains

chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these

chemicals are:

lead from lead-based paints,

crystalline silica from bricks and

cement and other masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from

chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type

of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,

and work with approved safety equipment,

such as those dust masks that are specially

designed to filter out microscopic particles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust
from power sanding, sawing, grinding,

drilling, and other construction
activities. Wear protective clothing

and wash exposed areas with soap
and water. Allowing dust to get into

your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

2_WARNING: Useof this tool can

generate and/or disburse dust, which

may cause serious and permanent
respiratory or other injury. Always use

NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory
protection appropriate for the dust

exposure. Direct particles away from face
and body.

STORAGE

RECOMMENDATIONS

1. The best storage place is one that is

cool and dry away from direct sunlight and
excess heat or cold.

2. Long-term storage will not harm the
battery pack or charger, unless the battery
is depleted.

CHARGING PROCEDURE

The standard charger provided will charge
a fully depleted battery in about 4-5 hours.

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate

outlet before inserting the battery pack.

2. Insert the battery pack into the charger.

3. The green LED will flash indicating that

the battery is being charged.

4. The completion of charge is indicated by
the green LED remaining on continuously.
The pack is fully charged and may be used
at this time or left on the charger.
Recharge discharged batteries as soon as
possible after use or battery life may_be
greatly diminished. It is recommended that
the batteries be recharged after each use.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

1. Longest life and best performance can
be obtained if the battery pack is charged
when the air temperature is between 60°F
and 80°F (16°- 27°C). DO NOT charge
the battery pack in an air temperature
below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F
(+40.5°C). This is important and will
prevent serious damage to the battery
pack.

2. The charger and battery pack may
become warm to touch while charging.
This is a normal condition, and does not
indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling
of the battery pack after use, avoid placing
the charger or battery pack in a warm
environment such as in a metal shed, or an

uninsutated trailer.

3. If the battery pack does not charge
properly:

a. Check current at receptacle by
plugging in a lamp or other appliance
b. Check to see if receptacle is
connected to a light switch which turns
power off when you turn out the lights.
c. Move charger and battery pack to
a location where the surrounding air
temperature is approximately 6O°F and
80°F (16 °. 2700)
d. If charging problems persist, take the

OPERATING THE CHAIN SAW

WARNING: Read and understand

all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in

electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.

• Guard Against Kickback which can

result in severe injury or death. See
Important Safety Instructions "Guard

Against Kickback", to avoid the risk of
kickback.

• Do not overreach. Do not cut above
chest height. Make sure your footing

is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your

weight evenly on both feet.

• Use a firm grip with your left hand on
the front handle (11) and your right
hand on the rear handle (10) so that

your body is to the left of the guide bar.

• Do not hold chain saw by front hand
guard (3). Keep elbow of left arm locked
so that left arm is straight to withstand a

kickback.

_WARNING: Never use a cross-

handed grip (left hand on the rear handle
and right hand on the front handle).

z_WARNING: Never allow any part

of your body to be in line with the guide
bar (4) when operating the chain saw.

• Never operate while in a tree, in any
awkward position or on a ladder or

other unstable surface. You may lose
control of saw causing severe injury.

• Keep the chain saw running at full
speed the entire time you are cutting.

• Allow the chain to cut for you. Exert
only light pressure. Do not put pressure

on chain saw at end of cut.

ON / OFF

• Always be sure of your footing and grip
the chain saw firmly with both hands with
the thumb and fingers encircling both

handles.

• To turn the toot ON, depress the lock off

COMMON CUTTING

TECHNIQUES

FELLING

The process of cutting down a tree. Be

sure battery is fully charged before felling a

tree so you can finish on a single charge.

Do not felt trees in high wind conditions.

z_WARNING: Felling can result in

injury. It should only be performed by a

trained person.

• (Figure K) A retreat path should be
planned and cleared as necessary before
cuts are started. The retreat path should
extend back and diagonally to the rear of
the expected line of fall.

O

DiRECTiON

OF

FALL

-=_-

45°X TREE

• Before felling is started, consider the
natural lean of the tree, the location of

larger branches and the wind direction to
judge which way the tree will fall. Have
wedges (wood, plastic or aluminum)
and a heavy mallet handy.

Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails,
staples, and wire from the tree where the
felling cuts are to be made.

• Figure L- Notching Undercut - Make
the notch 1/3 of the diameter of the tree,
perpendicular to the direction of the fall.

Make the lower horizontal notching cut
first. This will help to avoid pinching of
either the saw chain or the guide bar
when the second notch cut is being made.

• (Figure L) Felling Back Cut - Make the
felling back cut at least 2 inches (51mm)
higher than the horizontal notching cut.

Keep the felling back cut parallel to the
horizontal notching cut. Make the felling
back cut so enough wood is left to act
as a hinge. The hinge wood keeps the
tree from twisting and falling in the wrong

LIMBING

Removing the branches from a fallen tree.
When limbing, leave larger lower limbs to
support the log off the ground. Remove

the small limbs in one cut. Branches under
tension should be cut from the bottom of

the branch towards the top to avoid binding
the chain saw as shown in figure M.
Trim limbs from opposite side keeping
tree stem between you and saw. Never
make cuts with saw between your legs or

straddle the limb to be cut.

@

Place the bottom spike (19) of the chain
saw behind the area of the initial cut as

shown in figure O.

CUT FROM TOP (OVERBUCK)
AVOIDCUTTINGEARTH

Turn the chain saw on then rotate the
chain and bar down into the tree, using

the spike as a hinge.
Once the chain saw gets to a 45 degree
angle, level the chain saw again and
repeat steps until you cut fully through.
When the tree is supported along its
entire length, make a cut from the top
(overbuck), but avoid cutting the earth as
this will dull your saw quickly.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean
the tool. Do not use solvents to clean the

plastic housing of the saw. Never let any
liquid get inside the toot; never immerse any
part of the toot into a liquid.

IMPORTANT: To assure product

SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
maintenance and adjustment should be
performed by authorized service centers or
other qualified service organizations, always
using identical replacement parts.
Regular maintenance ensures a long
effective life for your chain saw.

CHAIN AND BAR

After every few hours of use, remove the
guide bar and chain and clean thoroughly
using a soft bristle brush. Ensure oiling

hole on bar is clear of debris.

SAW CHAIN SHARPENING

zLCAUTION: Sharpchain. Always

wear protective gloves when handling
the chain. The chain is sharp and can cut
you when it is not running.

WARNING: Sharpmovingchain.

To prevent accidental operation, ensure
that battery is removed from the tool

before performing the following
operations. Failure to do this could result in

serious personal injury.

NOTE: The cutters will dull immediately if

they touch the ground or a nail while cutting.
To get the best possible performance from

your chain saw it is important to keep the
teeth of the chain sharp. Follow these
helpful tips for proper saw chain sharpening:

1. For best results use a 4.5mm file and
a file holder or filing guide to sharpen

your chain. This will ensure you always
get the correct sharpening angles.

2. Place the file holder flat on the top
plate and depth gauge of the cutter.

3. (Figure R) Keep the correct top plate
(20) filing angle line of 30° on your file
guide parallel with your chain (file at
60° from chain viewed from above).

4. Sharpen cutters on one side of the
chain first. File from the inside of

," 60 X

each cutter to the outside. Then turn
your saw around and repeat the

processes (2,3,4) for cutters on the
other side of the chain.

NOTE: Use a flat file to file the tops of

the rakers (portion of chain link in front of
the cutter) so they are about .025 inch (.635

mm) below the tips of the cutters as shown
in Figure S.

.025 in.
.635mm

5. Figure T- Keep all cutter lengths
equal.

A A=B B

6. If damage is present on the chrome
surface of the top plates or side

plates, file back until such damage is
removed.

zLCAUTION: After filing, the cutter will

be sharp, use extra caution during this
process.

NOTE: Each time the chain is

sharpened, it loses some of the low
kickback qualities and extra caution should

be used. It is recommended that a chain be
sharpened no more than four times.
