IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read and understand all instructions before using this product.
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re, and/or serious personal injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term ″power tool″ in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool.
1. WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of am-
mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite thedust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• 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. Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
Failure to follow all
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
• 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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
• 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 appropri-
ate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
• 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.
3
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
• 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
• 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.
• 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.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• 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.
• 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.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• 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
• Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable
for one type of pack may create a risk of re when used with another pack.
• Use power tools only with specically designated packs. Use of any other packs may
create a risk of injury and re.
• When pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, lik paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the terminals together may cause burns or a re.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the ; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the may cause irritation or burns.
• Use only with Greenworks Elite batteries: L-300, L600
• Use only with Greenworks Elite Chargers: C-220, C-400

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
7. CHAINSAW SAFETY WARNINGS
• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chainsaw is operating.
Before you start the chainsaw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A
moment of inattention while operating chainsaws may cause entanglement of your clothing or
body with the saw chain.
• Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on
the front handle. Holding the chainsaw with a reversed hand conguration increases the risk of
personal injury and should never be done.
• Hold the chainsaw 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 chainsaw “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Always use two hands when operating the chainsaw. Contact of the guide-bar tip with any
object should be avoided.
• Tip contact may cause the guide bar to move suddenly upward and backward, which may
cause serious injury.
• Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for the head,
hands, legs, and feet is recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal
injury by ying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
• Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree. Operation of a chainsaw while up in a tree may result in
personal injury.
• Always keep proper footing and operate the chainsaw only when standing on xed,
secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of
balance or control of the chainsaw.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back. When the tension in
the wood bers is released, the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the
chainsaw 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 chainsaw by the front handle with the chainsaw switched off and away from
your body. When transporting or storing the chainsaw always put on the scabbard. Proper
handling of the chainsaw 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
which can cause loss of control.
• Cut wood only. Do not use chainsaw for purposes not intended. For example: do not
use chainsaw for cutting plastic, masonry, or non-wood building materials. Use of the
chainsaw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Store idle power tool indoors. when not in use, power tool should be stored in an indoor dry
and look-up place, out of reach of children.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
W A R N I N G (PROPOSITION 65)
This product contains a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals known 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 of exposure to these chemicals varies depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work inven a well-ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to lter out microscopic
particles.
CHILD SAFETY
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not aware of the presence of children.
• Keep children out of the working area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult.
• Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate this chainsaw. Children who are 14
years of age and older must read and understand the operating instructions and safety
rules in this manual and must be trained and supervised by a parent.
• Stay alert, and turn the chainsaw off if a child or any other person enters the working area.
• Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees, or other
objects that may obscure your view of a child who may run into the path of the chainsaw.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
W A R N I N G
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 chainsaw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or
injury.
CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF KICKBACK
1. Maintain a rm grip, with thumbs and ngers encircling the chainsaw handles, with both
hands on the saw and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
Kickback can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of the
chainsaw.

contact and enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected situations.
3. Only use replacement bars and chains specied by the manufacturer.
replacement bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
4. Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
