tree

Consider Work Area Environment

1. Do not operate saw ° in rain or snow

° in damp or wet areas ° where highly flammable liquids or

gases are present

° while in a tree or on a ladder ° while on aerial booms, buckets, or

platforms

Inspect tree before trimming or cut- ting down. Make sure there are no

dead limbs or branches that may fall on you. Make allowance for branches

to fall freely to the ground.

Use Right Tool

Use saw tor cutting wood only.

° Do not use chain saw for purpose not

intended.

° Do not use for cutting non-wood

items.

Dress Properly

1. Wear snug-fitting clothes when oper- ating saw. Do not wear loose clothing

or jewelry. They can get caught in moving saw chain.

2. Wear hair covering to contain long hair.

Wear Safety Gear

Wear the tollowing safety gear when op- erating saw:

° heavy-duty gloves (wear rubber

gloves when working outdoors)

° steel-toed safety footwear with non-

skid soles

° eye protection such as safety glasses,

goggles, or face screen

° safety hard hat ° ear mufflers or ear plugs ° face or dust mask (if working in

dusty areas)

Stay Alert

1. Watch what you ;=redoing. Use com-

mon sense. Do not operate saw when you are tired.

2. Do not operate saw ° while under the influence of alcohol,

medication, or drugs

° while in a hurry

° if pole or saw is damaged, adjusted

wrong, or not fully and securely assembled

° if trigger does not turn saw on and

off. Chain must stop moving when you release trigger. Have faulty switch replaced by authorized ser-

vice center.

WHILE OPERATING SAW

Keep Work Area Clean

1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered ar- eas invite injuries.

2. Do not use near power lines. Keep at least 10 feet away from electrical

lines.

3. If two or more persons perform buck- ing and telling operations at the same

time, provide plenty of distance be- tween operations. Provide distance of

at least twice the height of tree being felled.

4. Secure wood you are cutting by using clamps or chocks.

Keep Children, Bystanders, and Animals Away

1. Only saw user should be in work area. Keep bystanders 50 feet (15m)

away when operating saw.

2. Do not let visitors contact chain saw.

Use Right Tool

I. Do not use the polesaw to cut down

trees. Use the chain saw without pole attachment and only if you are

trained or have expert help.

2. Do not cut small brush and saplings with the polesaw. Use the chain saw

only, with extreme care. Slender mat- ter may catch in the chain and be

whipped toward you. This could also pull you off balance.

Stay Alert

1. Stay alert. Use common sense while operating saw.

2. Grip chain saw firmly with both hands. Never operate chain saw with

one hand. Never use hand guard as handle.

3. Grip polesaw securely. Place one hand on the pole and the other on the

handle.

4. Keep finger off trigger until ready to make cut.

_IL WARNING: This product con- tains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or

birth defects, or other reproduc-

tive harm.

4BkWARNING: Some dust created

by power sanding, sawing, grind- ing, drilling, and other construc-

tion 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

• 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 equip=

merit, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to finer

out microscopic particles.

KICKBACK

WARNING: Kickback may occur

when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closesinand pinches the saw chain inthe cut.Tip contact insome cases may cause a lightning fast re- versereaction, kickingthe 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 causeyou to losecontrol of the saw which could result in serious

injury to user.

Kickback Safety Devices On This

Saw

This saw has a low-kickback chain and re- duced kickback guide bar. Both items reduce

the chance of kickback. Low-kickback saw chain is a chain which met the kickback

performance requirements of ANSI B 175.1. Kickback can still occur with this saw.

Followassembly instructions onpage 11.Do notremove front hand guard. Do notreplace

front hand guard with substitute. The following steps will reduce the risk of

kickback. , Use both hands to grip saw while saw

is running: For chain saw, use both hands to grip

saw while saw is running. Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap

around saw handles. For polesaw, use one hand to grip

the handle and the other hand to grip the pole. Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around pole and

handle.

, Keep all safety items in place on saw.

Make sure they work properly.

, Chain saw - do not overreach or cut

above shoulder height.

, Polesaw - do not overreach or extend

arms above shoulder height.

, Keep solid footing and balance at all

times.

, Stand slightly to left side of saw. This

keeps your body from being in direct line with chain.

, Do not let guide bar nose touch any-

thing when chain is moving (see Figure

1).

, Never try cutting through two logs

at same time. Only cut one log at a

time.

, Do not bury guide bar nose or try

plunge cut (boring into wood using guide bar nose).

, Watch for shifting of wood or other

forces that may pinch chain.

, Use extreme caution when reentering a

previous cut.

, Use low-kickback chain and guide bar

supplied with this chain saw. Only re- place these parts with chains and guide

bars listed in this manual.

, Never use dull or loose chain. Keep

chain sharp with proper tension.

Saw Maintenance and Kickback

Safety

Follow maintenance instructions in this manual. Proper cleaning of saw and chain and

guide bar maintenance can reduce chances of kickback. Inspect and maintain saw af-

ter each use. This will increase the service life of your saw. Note: Even with proper

sharpening, risk of kickback can increase with each sharpening.

SAFETY WARNINGS

1. This manual contains important safe- ty and operating instructions.

2. Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on battery charger, battery pack, and

product using battery pack.

_, CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, charge only Remington

brand batteries. Other types of bat= teries may burst causing personal injury and damage.

3. Do not expose charger to rain or

snow,

4. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Remington brand may result

in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

5. To reduce risk of damage to electric- plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger.

6. An extension cord should not be used

unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could re-

sult in a risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.

a. Two-wire cords can be used with

2-wire or 3-wire extension cords. Only round jacketed extension cords

should be used, and we recommend that they be listed by Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.). If the extension

is to be used outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord

marked fk_routdoor use can also be used fk_r indoor work. The letters "W" or "WA" on the cord jacket

indicate that the cord is suitable fk_r outdoor use.

b. An extension cord must have ad-

equate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) fk_rsafety, and to pre- vent loss of power and overheating.

The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of

the cable; that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using

more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each exten-

sion contains at least the minimum wire size.

7. Use only the supplied charger (P/ N 725-05031)when charging. The

use of any other charger could dam- age the battery or create a hazardous

condition.

8. Use only one charger when charging.

9. Use only Remington RM18VN battery pack with this product.

10.

Do not attempt to open the charger. There are no customer serviceable parts

inside. If damaged, call 1-866-206- 2707 (1-877-696-5533 in Canada).

11.

DO NOT incinerate the battery pack even if they are severely damaged or

completely worn out. The batteries can explode in a fire.

12.

A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells may occur under

extreme usage, charging, or tempera- ture conditions. This does not indicate

a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your

skin:

• Wash quickly with soap and water.

• Neutralize with a mild acid such as

lemon juice or vinegar.

• If the battery liquid gets in your eyes,

flush them with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek

immediate medical attention.

MEDICAL NOTE: The liquid is a 25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.

RECHARGEABLE BATTERY

CHARGING BATTERY

The battery pack is not fully charged at the factory. Before

attempting to charge the battery

pack, thoroughly read all Safety instructions.

The charger is designed to use standard household 120 volt 60 Hz power.

1. Plug cord from charger into charger base. (See Figure 2)

Figure 2 - Plug Charger into Base

Plug the charger into any standard

120 Volt 60 Hz electrical outlet.

IMPORTANT: Do not charge by means of an engine generator or DC power

source. Use only 120V AC.

Slide the charger onto the battery pack as shown in Figure 3. The LED will

light up, Let the battery pack charge until red LED turns off. At'ter the ini-

tial charge, under normal usage, your battery pack should be fully charged in

3 to 9 hours.

4. Unplug charger. Remove the charger by sliding off (See Figure 4).

5. Place the battery pack in the tool and be certain that it is inserted tully into the

tool cavity until it "clicks" into place.

Figure 4 - Remove Charger

iMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

1. After normal usage, your battery

pack should be tully charged in 3 to 9 hours. If the battery pack is run-down

completely, it may take up to 9 hours to become tully charged. Your battery

pack was sent from the factory in an uncharged condition. For best perfor-

mance charge battery until red LED turns off. Allow the battery to cool

down 30 minutes before charging after using the saw. NOTE: A hot battery

placed in the charger will not charge.

2. 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 impor- tant and will prevent serious damage to

the battery pack. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if battery pack is charged when air temperature

is about 75°F (24°C).

3. While charging, the charger may hum and become warm to touch. This is a

normal condition and does not indicate a problem.

4. If the battery pack does not charge properly

• Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance.

• Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off

when you turn out the lights.

• Move charger and battery pack to a surrounding air temperature of 40°F (4,5°C) to 105°F (40,5 °C)

° If the receptacle and temperature are

OK, and you do not get proper charg- ing, call the Customer Selwice

Department.

5. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done

previously. DO NOT CONTINUE us- ing product with its battery pack in a

depleted condition.

6. To prolong battery life, avoid leaving the battery pack on charger for ex-

tended periods of time (over 30 days without use). Although overcharging is not a safety concern, it can significantly

reduce overall battery life.

7. The battery pack will reach optimum performance after being cycled 5 times

during normal usage. There is no need to run the batteries down completely

before recharging. Normal usage is the best method of discharging and

recharging the batteries.

_IL WARNING: Remove battery from chain saw beforeadjusting sawchain

tension. Severe injury or death could occur from body contact with moving chain.

_k WARNING: Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use protective

gloves when handling chain.

WARNING: Maintain proper

chain tension always.AIoosechain will increase the risk of kickback. A

loose chain may jump out of guide bar groove. This may injure op- erator and damage chain. A loose chain will cause chain, guide bar, and sprocket to wear rapidly.

Note: The saw chain tension is properly set at the factory. A new chain will stretch. Check

new chain tension frequently (after discon- necting battery) during the first 2 hours of

operation. Allow chain to cool down. Follow steps below to check saw chain tension.

1. Remove battery from chain saw.

2. Place chain saw on a firm surface to check chain tension.

OILING CHAIN

IMPORTANT" Applying oil to the chain and guide bar reduces friction and excessive

wear. Improper oiling will cause excessive wear and reduce the life of the chain and

guide bar.

1. Fill included squeeze bottle with SAE #30 or #40 motor oil or bar

chain oil.

2. Apply several drops of oil between chain and guide bar (see Figure 12.

Note: Oil should be applied before each use and every 5 minutes during continu-

ous use.

5. When ready to make a cut, press in trigger lockout with right thmnb and

squeeze trigger (see Figure 13). This will turn saw on. Releasing trigger

will turn saw off. Always turn saw on before contacting saw chain with log.

6. When starting a cut, place moving chain against wood. Hold saw firmly

in place to avoid possible bouncing or skating (sideways movement) of saw.

7. Guide saw using light pressure. Do not force saw. The motor will overload and

can burn out. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was

intended.

8. Remove saw from a cut with saw run- ning. Stop saw by releasing trigger.

Make sure chain has stopped before setting saw down.

9. Practice until you can maintain a steady, even cutting rate.

FELLING A TREE (Cutting Down a Tree)

_IL WARNING: When felling atree, be aware ofyour surroundings. Do

not endanger any person, strike utility lines, or cause property

damage. If tree strikes utility lines, contact utility company at once.

Felling is the process of cutting down a tree. Make sure your ti)oting is firm. Keep feet

apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet. Follow directions below to tell a tree.

Before Felling a Tree

1. Beti)re telling, inspect tree. Make sure there are no dead limbs or branches that

may fall on you. Study natural lean of tree, location of larger branches, and

wind direction. This will help you

judge which way tree will fall.

2. Clear work area around tree.

3. Plan and clear a retreat path before telling. Make retreat path opposite to planned direction of fall of tree and at

45 ° angle (see Figure 14).

4. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples, and wire from tree where you

will make telling cuts.

5. Stay on uphill side when telling tree. Tree could roll or slide downhill after

falling.

Figure 12 - Applying Oil to Chain

CUTTING WITH THE CHAIN SAW

I. Attach battery to saw.

2. Make sure section of log to be cut is not laying on ground. This will keep

chain from touching ground as it cuts through log. Touching ground with

moving chain will dull chain.

3. Use both hands to grip saw. Always use left hand to grip front handle and right

hand to grip rear handle. Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around

saw handles (see Figure 13).

4. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly

on both feet.

_1=WARNING:

• Avoid kickback. Kickback can result in severe injury or

death. See Kickback, page 5, to avoid risk of kickback.

• Do not fell a tree without ample skill or expert help.

• Keep children, animals, and

bystanders away from area

when felling a tree.

• If two or more persons

perform bucking and felling operations at the same time, provide ample distance

between operations. Provide distance of at least twice the

height of tree being felled.

CHAIN SAW INFORMATION

Felling Procedure A) Felling Notch

A properly placed felling notch will deter- mine direction tree will fall. Place felling

notch on side of tree in direction you want tree to fall (see Figure 15).

Follow directions below to create a felling notch.

1. Make lower notch cut as close to ground as possible. Hold saw so guide

bar is horizontal. Cut 1/3 the diameter of tree trunk (see Figure 15). Note:

Always make this horizontal lower notch cut first. If you make this cut

second, tree can pinch chain or guide bar.

2. Start upper notch cut the same distance above first cut as first cut is deep.

Example: If lower notch cut is eight inches deep, start upper notch cut eight

inches above it. Cut downward at 45° angle. The upper notch cut should meet

end of lower notch cut (see Figure

15).

3. Remove tree trunk wedge created by notching cuts,

Direction of Fall

3rd Cut - Felling Cut

B) Felling Cut

1. Make felling cut two inches higher than lower notch cut and on opposite side of

tree (see Figure 15). Keep telling cut parallel to lower notch cut.

2. Cut towards notch.

3. As felling cut nears hinge, tree should be- gin to fall. Note: If needed, drive wedges

into felling cut to control direction of fall. If tree settles back and pinches chain,

drive wedges into felling cut to remove saw. Only use wedges made of wood,

plastic, or aluminum. Never use wedge made of steel. This could cause kickback

and damage to chain.

4. When tree begins to fall, quickly

• remove saw from telling cut

• release trigger to turn saw off

• put saw down

• exit area using retreat path

WARNING: Do not cut all the

way through tree. Leave about two inches of tree diameter uncut

directly behind felling notch (see Figure 15). This uncut portion acts as a hinge. The hinge helps keep tree from twisting and falling in wrong direction.

LIMBING ATREE

WARNING: Avoid kickback.

Kickback can result in severe injury or death. See Kickbackto avoid risk

of kickback.

_IL WARNING: When cutting limb that is under tension, use extreme

caution. Be alert for wood spring- ing back. When wood tension is released, limb could spring back and strike operator causing severe injury or death.

Limbing is removing branches from a fallen tree. Make sure your fk)oting is firm. Keep

feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet. Do not remove larger limbs under tree

that support log off ground. Remove each limb with one cut (see Figure 16). Clear cut

limbs from work area often. This will help maintain a sate work area.

Make sure you start your cut where limb will not pinch saw during cutting. To avoid

pinching, start cut on freely hanging limbs from above limb. Start cut on limbs under

tension from under limb. If pinch occurs, turn saw off, lift limb, and remove saw.

BUCKING A LOG

_I, WARNING: Avoid kickback.

Kickback can result insevere injury or death. See Kickback to avoid

risk of kickback.

WARNING:

• If on slope, make sure log will not roll down hill. Secure

log by using wooden stakes. Drive wooden stakes into

ground on downhill side of

log. Stand on uphill side of log while cutting. Log may roll after cutting.

• Never try cutting through two logs at same time. This

could increase the risk of kickback.

• Whilecutting log, never hold

log with your hand, leg, or

foot.

• While cutting log, never allow another person to hold

log.

• Turn off and unplug saw

before moving from one place to another.

Bucking a log is ctuting a log inlo sections. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart.

Divide your weight evenly on both feet. When possible, raise log or section off ground. Do this by using limbs, logs, chocks, etc.

When cutting through log, maintain control by reducing cutting pressure near end of cut. Do

not relax your grip on chain saw handles. Do not let moving chain touch ground. Ground

will dull moving chain. After cutting through log, release trigger to turn saw off before

moving saw. Follow directions below to buck a log.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

NOTICE: Below are instructions for servicing your chain saw. Any

servicing not mentioned below should be done by an authorized

service center,

CLEANING SAW BODY

_1= WARNING: Remove battery from chain saw before servicing.

Severe injury or death could oc- cur from body contact with mov= ing chain.

_lb WARNING: Cutting edges on

chain are sharp. Use protective gloves when handling chain.

_, WARNING: When cleaningsaw body,

• do not submerge saw in any liquids

• do not use products that contain ammonia,

chlorine, or abrasives

• do not use chlorinated cleaning solvents, carbon

tetrachloride, kerosene, or gasoline

Keep saw body clean. Use a soft cloth damp- ened with a mild soap and water mixture.

Wipe saw body to clean.

CARE OF GUIDE BAR

Uneven bar wear causes most guide bar prob- lems. Incorrect sharpening of chain cutter

and depth gauge settings often cause this. When bar wears unevenly, it widens guide

bar groove (see Figure 30). This causes chain clatter and rivet popping. Saw will not cut

straight. Replace guide bar if this occurs. Inspect guide bar before sharpening chain.

A worn or damaged guide bar is unsafe. A worn or damaged guide bar will damage

chain. It will also make cutting harder.
