GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Read and understand all in-
structions. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or
serious personal injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not operate a chain saw with one hand!
Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles. Serious injury
to the operator, helpers, bystanders, or any
combination of these persons may result from
one-handed operation. A chain saw is intended for two-handed use.
Always be aware of what you are doing when
using the chain saw. Use common sense. Do
not operate the chain saw when you are tired,
ill, or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or
medication.
Stay alert and pay attention to what you are
doing. Use common sense when using this
unit.
Keep all parts of your body away from the
saw chain when the unit is running.
Always carry the chain saw by the front han-
dle with the unit stopped and the guide bar
and saw chain positioned to the rear. When
transporting your chain saw, use the appropriate chain cover.
Never let anyone use your chain saw who
has not received adequate instructions in its
proper use. This applies to rentals as well as
privately owned saws.
Before you start the unit, make sure the saw
chain is not contacting any object.
Stop the chain saw before setting it down. Do
not leave the unit running unattended.
To avoid accidental starting, never carry the
unit with your finger on the trigger.
Maintain the unit with care. Keep the cutting
edge sharp and clean for best performance
and to reduce the risk of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect the battery charger cord
periodically, and if damaged, have it replaced
or repaired by an authorized service dealer.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free of oil and
grease.
Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged,
improperly adjusted, or not completely and
securely assembled. Chain should stop turning when the trigger is released. If the chain
turns after the trigger has been released, have
the unit serviced by your nearest Craftsman
service dealer.
Check for damaged parts. Any part or guard
that has been damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting,
and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service dealer unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this manual.
All chain saw service, other than the items
listed in the operation and maintenance sections, should be performed by your nearest
Craftsman service dealer.
Do not use in the rain, snow or wet condi-
tions.
Always maintain a proper stance. Do not
overreach.
Do not adapt your powerhead to a bow guide
or use it to power any attachments or devices
not listed for the saw.
Do not cut vines and/or small underbrush.
SAFETY APPAREL
Wear snug fitting clothing. Always wear
heavy, long pants, long sleeves, overalls,
jeans or chaps made of cut resistant material or ones that contain cut resistant inserts.
Wear non-slip safety footwear. Wear non-slip
heavy duty gloves to improve your grip and
to protect your hands. Do not wear jewelry,
short pants, sandals, or go barefoot. Do not
wear loose fitting clothing, which could be
drawn into the motor or catch the chain or underbrush. Secure hair so it is above shoulder
level.
3 - English
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Always wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1, along
with hearing and head protection.
KICKBACK
See Figures 1 - 3.
WARNING: Kickback may occur when the
moving chain contacts an object at the upper
portion of the tip of the guide bar or when the
wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in
the cut. Contact at the upper portion of the
tip of the guide bar can cause the chain to
dig into the object and stop the chain for an
instant. The result is a lightning fast, reverse
reaction which kicks the guide bar up and
back toward the operator. If the saw chain is
pinched along the top of the guide bar, the
guide bar can be driven rapidly back toward
the operator. Either of these reactions can
cause loss of saw control which can result in
serious injury. Do not rely exclusively upon
the safety devices built into the saw. As a
chain saw user, you should take several steps
to keep your cutting jobs free from accident
or injury.
The following precautions should be fol-
lowed to minimize kickback:
• Holdthe sawfirmlywith both handswhen
the motor is running. Place your right hand
on the rear handle and your left hand on the
front handle with your thumbs and fingers
encircling the chain saw handles. A firm grip
together with a stiff left arm will help you
maintain control of the saw if kickback occurs.
• Makesurethattheareainwhichyouarecut-
ting is free from obstructions. Do not let the
nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch,
fence, or any other obstruction that could be
hit while you are operating the saw.
• Alwayscutwiththeunitrunningatfullspeed.
Fully squeeze the throttle trigger and maintain
a steady cutting speed.
• Usereplacementpartssuchaslowkickback
chain and special guide bars that reduce the
risks associated with rotational kickback.
4 - English
Use only the replacement guide bars and low
kickback chains specified by the manufacturer
for the saw.
With a basic understanding of kickback, you
can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Do not cut above shoulder height or overreach
when cutting.
Follow the sharpening and maintenance in-
structions for the saw chain.
Push and Pull - This reaction force is always
opposite to the direction the chain is moving where wood contact is made. Thus, the
operator must be ready to control the PULL
when cutting on the bottom edge of the bar,
and PUSH when cutting along the top edge.
See Figure 3.
IN THE CUTTING/WORK AREA
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a
ladder, rooftop or scaffold; this is extremely
dangerous.
Keep ALL children, bystanders, visitors, and
animals out of the work area while starting or
cutting with the chain saw.
NOTE: The size of the work area depends on
the job being performed as well as the size
tree or work piece involved. For example,
felling a tree requires a larger work area than
making bucking cuts.
Never start cutting until you have a clear work
area, secure footing, and a planned retreat
path from the falling tree. Cluttered area invite
injuries.
Do not expose the chain saw to rain.
Do not use the chain saw in damp or wet
locations.
Do not use the chain saw near flammable liq-
uids, gases, or in any type of explosive atmosphere.
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.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
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 fibers is
released.
Do not force the chain saw. The job can be
performed better and safer at the rate for
which it was intended.
Always use the right product for your applica-
tion. The chain saw should be used for cutting
wood only. Never use the chain saw to cut
plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials.
Do not use the chain saw for purposes not
intended.
Store idle chain saw when not in use. Chain
saw should be stored in a dry and high or
locked area out of the reach of children.
When storing chain saw, remove battery and
place the chain cover on the bar and chain.
Remove the battery pack from the chain saw
before cleaning, servicing, storing, transporting, removing material from the unit, changing accessories such as the bar and chain, or
when not in use.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR CHAIN SAW
SAFETY DEVICES
LOW KICKBACK SAW CHAIN
The rakers (depth gauges) ahead of each cutter
can minimize the force of a kickback reaction by
preventing the cutters from digging in too deeply
at the kickback zone. Only use replacement chain
that is equivalent to original chain or has been
certified as low kickback chain per ANSI B175.1.
Low kickback saw chain is chain that has met the
kickback performance requirements of ANSI B175.1
- 1991 (American National Standard for Power
Tools - Gasoline-Powered Chain Saws-Safety
Requirements) when tested on the representative
sample of chain saws below 3.8 c.i.d. specified in
ANSI B175.1 - 1991.
As saw chains are sharpened during their useful
life, they lose some of the low kickback qualities
and extra caution should be used.
GUIDE BARS
Generally, guide bars with small radius tips have
somewhat lower kickback potentials.
When making a replacement, be sure to order one
of the Craftsman bars listed for the saw in this
operator’s manual.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
BATTERY SAFETY
Battery operated units do not have to be
plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore,
they are always in operating condition. Be
aware of possible hazards even when unit is
not operating.
Remove the battery pack from the chain saw
before cleaning, servicing, storing, transporting, removing material from the unit, changing accessories such as the bar and chain, or
when not in use.
A battery pack must be recharged only with
the specified charger for the battery pack. A
charger that may be suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack. Use battery
pack only with charger listed.
Use battery only with charger listed.

Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack.
Do not use a battery pack or charger that
has been dropped or received a sharp blow.
A damaged battery is subject to explosion.
Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.
Batteries can explode in the presence of a
source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never
use any cordless product in the presence of
open flame. An exploded battery pack can
propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush
with water immediately.
Do not charge unit in a damp or wet location.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
For best results, your battery unit should be
charged in a location where the temperature
is more than 50°F but less than 100°F. Do not
store outside or in vehicles.
Under extreme usage or temperature con-
ditions, battery pack leakage may occur. If
liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash
immediately with soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid
gets into your eyes, flush them with clean
water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The cell
may explode. Batteries should be recycled,
consult your local waste authority for information regarding available recycling and/or
disposal options.
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
pack terminals together may cause sparks,
burns, or a fire.
