GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS



WARNING! Read all safety warnings 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 mainsoperated (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, pulling or 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 ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) 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 personal protective equipment. Always wear

eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid 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

ENGLISH

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 that the safety of the power

tool ismaintained.

Chainsaw Safety Warnings



WARNING: Additional safety warnings for chainsaws.

• 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 ofcontrol.

• 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 guide bar cover. 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, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of the chainsaw.

• Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better control of the chain saw in unexpectedsituations.

ENGLISH

• 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 low 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 particular 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 tool 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 log 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



WARNING: 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 maintenance in this

manual to help avoid kickback and other forces which can result in seriousinjury.

• 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 guide bar is one which has been demonstrated 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 will 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 twohanded 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.



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 chemicallytreated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

ENGLISH

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.



WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/ or disperse 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.

WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the battery pack so that metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do

not place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. Transporting batteries

can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous

Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes in carry-on baggage UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual battery packs, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a shortcircuit.

Shipping the

DeWALT FLEXVOLT™ Battery

The D

eWALT FLEXVOLT™ battery has two modes: Use and

Shipping. Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT™ battery stands alone or is

in a D

eWALT 20V Max* product, it will operate as a 20V Max*

battery. When the FLEXVOLT™ battery is in a 60V Max* or a 120V Max* (two 60V Max* batteries) product, it will operate as a 60V Max* battery.

Shipping Mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLT™ battery, the battery is in Shipping Mode. Strings of cells are electrically disconnected within the pack resulting in three batteries with a lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to one battery with a higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of three batteries with the lower Watt hour rating

ENGLISH

can exempt the pack from certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon the higher Watt hourbatteries.

The battery label indicates two Watt hour ratings (see example). Depending on how the battery is shipped, the appropriate Watt hour rating must be used to determine the applicable shipping requirements. If utilizing the shipping cap, the pack will be considered 3 batteries at the Watt hour rating indicated for “Shipping”. If shipping without the cap or in a tool, the pack will be considered one battery at the Watt hour rating indicated next to “Use”.

USE: 120 Wh Shipping: 3 x 40 Wh

Example of Use and Shipping Label Marking

For example, Shipping Wh rating might indicate 3 x 40 Wh, meaning 3 batteries of 40 Watt hours each. The Use Wh rating might indicate 120 Wh (1 battery implied).

Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B)

Some DeWALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of charge remaining in the batterypack.

The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels of charge remaining in the battery pack according to the followingindicators:

75–100% charged

51–74% charged

< 50% charged

Pack needs to be charged

To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge button. A combination of the three green LED lights will illuminate designating the level of charge left. When the level of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not illuminate and the battery will need to berecharged.

Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Chargers



• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with

any chargers other than the ones in this manual.

The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to worktogether.

• These chargers are not intended for any uses other

than charging

DeWALT rechargeable batteries.

Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock orelectrocution.

• Do not expose the charger to rain orsnow.

• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when

disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug andcord.

• Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not

be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage orstress.

• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely

necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in

risk of fire, electric shock orelectrocution.

• When operating a charger outdoors, always provide

a dry location and use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use

reduces the risk of electricshock.

• An extension cord must have adequate wire size

(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. 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. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier thecord.

Refer to the indicators below for the charge status of the batterypack.

DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118, DCB132

Charging

Fully Charged

Hot/Cold Pack Delay*

* The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator light will be illuminated during this operation. Once the battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature, the yellow light will turn off and the charger will resume the chargingprocedure.

The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery pack by refusing to light or by displaying a problem pack or charger blinkpattern.

NOTE: This could also mean a problem with acharger. If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and

battery pack to be tested at an authorized servicecenter.

Hot/Cold Pack Delay

When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery packlife.

A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than a warm battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to maximum charge rate even if the battery packwarms.

The DCB118 charger is equipped with an internal fan designed to cool the battery pack. The fan will turn on automatically when the battery pack needs to becooled.

Never operate the charger if the fan does not operate properly or if ventilation slots are blocked. Do not permit foreign objects to enter the interior of thecharger.

ENGLISH

Electronic Protection System

Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection System that will protect the battery pack against overloading, overheating or deepdischarge.

The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the lithiumion battery pack on the charger until it is fullycharged.

Wall Mounting

These chargers are designed to be wall mountable or to sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall mounting, locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and away from a corner or other obstructions which may impede air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template for the location of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount the charger securely using drywall screws (purchased separately) at least 1" (25.4 mm) long, with a screw head diameter of 0.28–0.35" (7–9mm), screwed into wood to an optimal depth leaving approximately 7/32" (5.5 mm) of the screw exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the exposed screws and fully engage them in theslots.

Charger Cleaning Instructions



WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the charger using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or any cleaningsolutions.

Important Charging Notes

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65°F and 75°F (18° – 24°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +104°F (+40°C). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the batterypack.

2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the 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 uninsulatedtrailer.

3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:

a. Check operation of 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 the charger and battery pack to a location

where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F – 75°F (18° – 24°C);

d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery

pack and charger to your local servicecenter.

4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may

also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no adverse effect on the batterypack.

5. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger before attempting toclean.

6. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any otherliquid.

Storage Recommendations

1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and excess heat orcold.

2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged battery pack in a cool dry place out of the charger for optimalresults.

NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be recharged beforeuse.

Common Cutting Techniques (Fig. A, P, Q, R, S, T)

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 fell trees in high windconditions.



WARNING: Felling can result in injury. It should only be performed by a trainedperson.

• 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 (see FigureP).

DIRECTION

FALL

RETREAT

45°

TREE

Fig. P

• 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.

• 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 (see FigureQ).

• Felling Back Cut - Make the felling back cut at least 2" (51mm) 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 direction. Do not cut through the hinge (see FigureQ).

• As the felling cut gets close to the hinge the tree should begin to fall. If there is any chance that the tree may not fall in the desired direction or it may rock back and bind the saw chain, stop cutting before the felling cut is complete and use wedges to open the cut and drop the tree along the desired line of fall. When the tree begins to fall remove the chain saw from the cut, stop the motor, put the chain saw down, then use the retreat path planned. Be alert for overhead limbs falling and watch yourfooting.

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R. 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.

ENGLISH

Bucking



WARNING: Recommend that first time users should practice cutting on a sawhorse.

Cutting a felled tree or log into lengths. How you should cut depends on how the log is supported. Use a saw horse (see FigureS) wheneverpossible. Fig. S

• Always start a cut with the chain running at fullspeed.

• Place the bottom spike

22

of the chain saw behind the

area of the initial cut as shown in FigureT.

• 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.

• When on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the log. When “cutting through”, to maintain complete control reduce the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the chain saw handles. Don’t let the chain contact the ground. After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you move the chain saw. Always stop the motor before moving from cut tocut.

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 tool; never immerse any part of the tool into aliquid.

IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment should be performed by a

DeWALT authorized service center, 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 sprocket cover, guide bar and chain and clean thoroughly using a soft bristle brush. Ensure oiling hole on bar is clear of debris. When replacing dull chains with sharp chains it is good practice to flip the chain bar from bottom totop.

Saw Chain Sharpening



CAUTION: Sharp chain. Always wear protective gloves when handling the chain. The chain is sharp and can cut you when it is notrunning.

ENGLISH



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 4.5mm 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W- Keep the correct top plate

19

filing angle line of 30° on your file guide parallel with your chain (file at 60° from chain viewed from the side).

4. Sharpen cutters on one side of the chain first. File from the inside of 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" (.635 mm) below the tips of the cutters as shown in FigureX.

5. FigureY- Keep all cutter lengthsequal.

6. If damage is present on the chrome surface of the top plates or side plates, file back until such damage isremoved.



CAUTION: 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.
