Safety Warnings

9. Wear the following safety gear when operating chain 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

• hair covering to contain long hair

• face or dust mask (if working in dusty

areas)

10. Before cutting, always provide the following:

• clear work area

• secure footing

• planned retreat path from falling tree

11. Inspect tree before cutting down. Make sure there are no dead limbs or branches that may fall on you.

12. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this saw has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet of your extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, a polarized extension cord will be necessary. Do not change the plug in any way.

WHILE OPERATING SAW

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

2. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.

3. Be aware of extension cord while operating chain saw . Be careful not to trip over cord. Keep cord away from chain and operator at all times.

4. Keep children, animals, and bystanders away from chain saw and extension cord. Only chain saw user should be in work area.

5. Do not cut down a tree unless you are trained or have expert help.

6. If two or more persons perform bucking and felling operations at the same time, provide plenty of distance between operations. Provide distance of at least twice the height of tree being felled.

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

8. Grip chain saw ﬁrmly with both hands. Never operate chain saw with one hand. Never use hand guard as handle.

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

10. Before starting chain saw, make sure chain is not touching anything.

11. To guard against electrical shock, avoid body contact with grounded objects such as pipes, fences, and metal posts.

SAFETY WARNINGS

KICKBACK

WARNING: 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 lightning fast 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 injury to user.

Kickback Safety Devices On This Saw

This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced kickback guide bar. Both items reduce the chance of kickback. Kickback can still occur with this saw.

Properly install front hand guard. This item can reduce injuries from kickback. Follow assembly instructions on page 6. Do not remove front hand guard. Do not replace front hand guard with substitute.

The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.

• Use both hands to grip saw while saw is running. Use ﬁrm grip. Thumbs and ﬁngers must wrap around saw handles.

• Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make sure they work properly.

• Do not overreach or cut 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 anything when chain is moving (see Figure 1).

Direction

90° Quadrant

Figure 1 - Kickback Hazard Example: Do Not Let Nose of Guide Bar Touch Object While Chain is Moving

• 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 re-entering a previous cut.

• Use low-kickback chain and guide bar supplied with this chain saw. Only replace these parts with chains and guide bars listed in this manual.

• Never use dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp with proper tension.

• Do not hand sharpen chain on automatic chain sharpening (Fast Sharp) models.

• 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

WARNING: When felling a tree, be aware of your 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 footing is ﬁrm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet. Follow directions below to fell a tree.

Before Felling a Tree

1. Before felling, 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 felling. Make retreat path opposite to planned direction of fall of tree and at 45° angle (see Figure 11).

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

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

Felling Procedure A) Felling Notch

A properly placed felling notch will determine direction tree will fall. Place felling notch on side of tree in direction you want tree to fall (see Figure 12). 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 12). ways 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:

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 12).

3. Remove tree trunk wedge created by notching cuts.

B) Felling Cut

1. Make felling cut two inches higher than lower notch cut and on opposite side of tree (see Figure 12). Keep felling cut parallel to lower notch cut.

2. Cut towards notch.

WARNING: Do not cut all the way through tree. Leave about two inches of tree diameter uncut directly behind felling notch (see Figure 12). This uncut portion acts as a hinge. The hinge helps keep tree from twisting and falling in wrong direction.

LIMBING A TREE

WARNING: Avoid kickback. Kickback can result in severe injury or death. See Kickback, page 3 to avoid risk of kickback.

WARNING: When cutting limb that is under tension, use extreme caution. Be alert for wood springing 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 footing 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 13). Clear cut limbs from work area often. This will help maintain a safe 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

WARNING: Avoid kickback. Kickback can result in severe injury or death. See Kickback, page 3 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.

• While cutting 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 be-

fore moving from one place to another.

Bucking a log is cutting a log into 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

WARNING: Unplug chain saw from power source before servicing. Severe injury or death could occur from electrical shock or body contact with moving chain.

WARNING: Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use protective gloves when handling chain.

WARNING: When cleaning saw body,

• do not submerge saw in any

liquids

• do not use products that con-

tain ammonia, chlorine, or abrasives

• do not use chlorinated clean-

ing solvents, carbon tetrachloride, kerosene, or gasoline

Keep saw body clean. Use a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water mixture. Wipe saw body to clean.

CARE OF GUIDE BAR

Uneven bar wear causes most guide bar problems. Incorrect sharpening of chain cutter and depth gauge settings often cause this. When bar wears unevenly, it widens guide bar groove (see Figure 18). 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.

1. Place depth gauge tool (.025") ﬁrmly across top of two cutters. Make sure depth gauge enters slot in depth gauge tool (see Figure 22).

2. Use medium ﬂat ﬁle. File depth gauge level with depth gauge tool.

3. Remove depth gauge tool. With ﬂat ﬁle, round off front corner of cutter depth gauge (see Figure 23).

After several hand ﬁlings, have authorized service center or sharpening service machine sharpen chain. This will insure even ﬁling.

ELECTRIC CHAIN SAW LIMITED WARRANTY

Always specify model and serial numbers when writing the factory. We reserve the right to amend these speciﬁcations at any time without notice. The only warranty applicable is our standard written warranty. We

make no other warranty, expressed or implied. DESA International warrants this electric chain saw and any parts thereof, to be free from defects in material and workmanship for one year from

the date of ﬁrst purchase from an authorized dealer, provided that the product has been properly maintained and operated in accordance with all applicable instructions. The bill of sales or proof of purchase must be presented at the time a claim is made under this warranty.

This warranty is extended only to the original retail purchaser. This warranty covers only the parts and labor required to restore this chain saw to its proper operating condition. Warranty parts must be obtained through factory authorized dealers and service centers for this product. These dealers and service centers will provide original factory replacement parts. Failure to use original factory replacement parts voids this warranty.

This warranty does not cover commercial, industrial, or rental usage, nor does it apply to parts that are not in original condition because of normal wear and tear, or parts that fail or become damaged as a result of misuse, accident, lack of proper maintenance, tampering, or alteration. Travel, handling, transportation, and incidental costs associated with warranty repairs are not reimbursable under this warranty and are the responsibility of the owner.

To the full extent allowed by the law of the jurisdiction that governs the sale of the product, this express warranty excludes any and all other expressed warranties and limits the duration of any and all implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose to one year form the date of first purchase, and DESA International’s liability is hereby limited to the purchase price of the product and DESA International shall not be liable for any other damages whatsoever including indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.

Some states do not allow limitation of how long an implied warranty lasts or an exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation of damages may not apply to you.

This warranty provides the original purchaser with specific rights. For information regarding those rights, please consult the applicable state laws.
