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 mains-operated (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 residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD 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 energising 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 jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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 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.

Instruction Before Use

1. Before using your cordless chain saw
   Your Battery Pack is UNCHARGED and it must be fully charged once before it is used. The battery charger supplied is matched to the Li-ion battery for use with this tool. Do not use another battery charger.

2. Charging your Battery Pack
   The Li-ion battery is protected against over-discharging. When the battery is empty, the trimmer will switch off by means of a protective circuit: The trimmer head will stop rotating.
   Note: In a warm environment or after heavy use, the Battery Pack may become too hot to permit charging. Allow time for the battery to cool down before recharging.

3. Storage of the charger and battery
   For long-term storage, it is preferable that the battery is fully charged and stored in a dry place at a temperature between 10 and 25 ° C. The charger should be stored in the same conditions as the battery, taking care that no foreign objects such as metal chips or other can not enter through the ventilation slots of the charger.

Chainsaw Safety

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of a chain saw while up in a tree may result in personal injury.
6. 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.
7. When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres is released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the chain saw out of control.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
11. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
12. 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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
4. Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.

Felling a tree

When bucking and felling operations are being performed by two or more persons at the same time, the felling operations should be separated from the bucking operation by a distance of at least twice the height of the tree being felled. Trees should not be felled in a manner that would endanger any person, strike any utility line or cause any property damage. If the tree does make contact with any utility line, the company should be notified immediately.
The chain saw operator should keep on the uphill side of the terrain as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after it is felled. An escape path should be planned and cleared as necessary before cuts are started. The escape path should extend back and diagonally to the rear of the expected line of fall as illustrated in Figure 3. 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. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire from the tree.

Notching Undercut

Make the notch 1/3 the diameter of the tree, perpendicular to the direction of fall as illustrated in Figure 4. 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 is being made.

Felling Back Cut

Make the felling back cut at least 2 inches (50.8 mm) higher thanthe horizontal notching cut as illustrated in Figure 4. 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. 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 back cut is complete and use wedges of wood, plastic or aluminum 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 a Tree

Limbing is 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 as illustrated in Figure 5. Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the chain saw.

Bucking a Log

Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to make sure your footing is firm and your weight is evenly distributed on both feet. When possible, the log should be raised and supported by the use of limbs, logs or chocks. Follow the simple directions for easy cutting. When the log is supported along its entire length as illustrated in Figure 6, it is cut from the top (overbuck). When the log is supported on one end, as illustrated in Figure 7, cut 1/3 the diameter from the underside (underbuck). Then make the finished cut by over bucking to meet the first cut. When the log is supported on both ends, as illustrated in Figure 8, cut 1/3 of that diameter from the top over buck. Then make the finished cut by underbucking the lower 2/3 to meet the first cut. When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the log, as illustrated in Figure 9. When “cutting through”, to maintain complete control release 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 tree to tree .

Kickback Safety Devices

This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced kickback chain bar. Both items reduce the chance of kickback. Kickback can still occur with this saw. 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.
• 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.
• Never use dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp with proper tension.

General Behaviour

Use the chain saw only with secure footing. Hold the chain saw at the right- hand side of your body. (See fig. D)

The chain must be running at full speed before it makes contact with the wood. Use the metal gripping teeth to secure the saw onto the wood before starting to cut. Use the gripping teeth as a leverage point “a” while cutting.(See fig. E)

Do not operate the chain saw with arms fully extended or attempt to saw areas which are difficult to reach, or on a ladder. Never use the chain saw above shoulder height. (See fig. F)

Maintenance and Storage

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 after each use. This will increase the service life of your saw.
Note: Even with proper sharpening, risk of kickback can increase with each sharpening.

Maintenance and Storage of Chains

• Before moving from one place to another before servicing
• Before changing accessories or attachments, such as saw chain and guard

1. Inspect chain saw before and after each use. Check saw closely if guard or other part has been damaged. Check for any damage that may affect operator safety or operation of saw. Check for alignment or binding of moving parts. Check for broken or damaged parts. Do not use chain saw if damage affects safety or operation. Have damage repaired by authorized service center.
2. Maintain chain saw with care. • Never expose saw to rain.
   • Keep chain sharp, clean, and lubricated for better and safer performance.
   • Follow steps outlined in this manual to sharpen chain.
   • Keep handles dry, clean, and free of oil and grease.
   • Keep all screws and nuts tight.
3. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
4. When not in use, always store chain saw in a high or locked place, out of children’s reach in a dry place

Replacing Saw Chain / Chain Bar

Replace chain when cutters are too worn to sharpen or when chain breaks. Only use replacement chain noted in this manual. Always include new drive sprocket when replacing chain. This will maintain proper driving of chain. 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.
Fit the tensioning catch into the new bar by tightening the screw clockwise. The catch protrude must be fitted into the bar hole.

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 Fig. G). 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.

Normal Guide Bar Maintenance

1. Remove guide bar from chain saw.
2. Remove sawdust from guide bar groove periodically. Use putty knife or wire (See Fig. H).
3. Clean oil slots after each day of use.

Remove burrs from sides of guide bar. Use fl at fi le to make side edges square. Replace guide bar when

• bar is bent or cracked
• inside groove of bar is badly worn

(Note: When replacing guide bar, see Replacement Parts and Accessories for replacement information. See Parts Lis for correct bar.)

Sharpening Saw Chain

WARNING: Remove battery pack from chain saw before servicing. Severe injury or death could occur from body contact with moving chain.
WARNING : Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use protective gloves when handling chain.

Keep chain sharp. Your saw will cut faster and more safely. A dull chain will cause undue sprocket, guide bar, chain, and motor wear. If you must force chain into wood and cutting creates only sawdust with few large chips, chain is dull. Please contact customer service agent or approved service agent for sharpening.
