GENERAL SAFETY RULES WARNING: Read and understand all in- structions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS Basic Safety Precautions n Do not operate a chain saw with one hand! Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles. Serious injury to the operator, helpers, bystanders, or any combination of these persons may result from one-handed operation.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES n Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with hearing and head protection. Kickback See Figures 1 - 3. n WARNING: 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.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES n When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back so that you will not be struck when the tension in the wood fibers is released. n Do not force the chain saw. The job can be performed better and safer at the rate for which it was intended. n Always use the right product for your application. The chain saw should be used for cutting wood only. Never use the chain saw to cut plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES BATTERY SAFETY n Battery operated units do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards even when unit is not operating. n Remove the battery pack from the chain saw before cleaning, servicing, storing, transporting, removing material from the unit, changing accessories such as the bar and chain, or when not in use.

WARNING: Always remove battery pack from your tool when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, carrying, transporting or when not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious personal injury.
operation Preparation for Cutting Proper Grip on Handles See Figures 8 - 10. Refer to General safety rules earlier in this manual for appropriate safety equipment. Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection. Hold the saw firmly with both hands. Always keep your left hand on the front handle and your right hand on the rear handle so that your body is to the left of the chain line.
operation Tree Felling See Figures 12-16. Unusual Hazardous Tree Felling Conditions Do not fell trees during periods of high wind or heavy precipitation. Wait to do your cutting until the hazard has ended. WARNING: Do not cut down trees having an extreme lean or large trees that have rotten limbs, loose bark, or hollow trunks. Have these trees pushed or dragged down with heavy equipment, then cut them up. WARNING: Electrocution hazard. Do not cut trees or branches near power lines or electrical wires.
operation As tree starts to fall, stop the chain saw and put it down immediately. Retreat along the cleared path, but watch the action in case something falls your way. Be alert for overhead limbs or branches that may fall and watch your footing. WARNING: Never cut through to the notch when making a backcut. The hinge controls the fall of the tree, this is the section of wood between the notch and backcut. Bucking See Figures 17 - 20.
operation Limbs should be cut one at a time. Remove the cut limbs from the work area often to help keep the work area clean and safe. Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the chain saw. Keep the tree between you and the chain saw while limbing. Cut from the side of the tree opposite the branch you are cutting. Pruning Your second cut should overbuck to drop the branch off.
MAINTENANCE WARNING: When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage. WARNING: Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with hearing and head protection. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes and other possible serious injuries. If operation is dusty, also wear breathing protection.
MAINTENANCE Recommended Bar and Chain Combinations REPLACing Bar and Chain See Figures 24 - 28. WARNING: Remove the battery pack from the chain saw and make sure the chain has stopped before you do any work or making any adjustments on the saw. Failure to do so may result in accidental starting and possible serious injury. WARNING: The safety instructions in this section are to protect the user from serious personal injury.
MAINTENANCE During normal saw operation, the temperature of the chain will increase. The drive links of a correctly tensioned warm chain will hang approximately .050 in. out of the bar groove. NOTE: New chain tends to stretch, check chain tension frequently and tension as required. caution: Chain tensioned while warm, may be too tight upon cooling. Check the “cold tension” before next use. Chain Maintenance See Figures 31 - 32.
MAINTENANCE Side Plate Angle See Figure 36. CORRECT - 80° Produced automatically if correct diameter file is used in file holder. HOOK - “Grabs” and dulls quickly. Increases potential of KICKBACK. Results from using a file with diameter too small, or file held too low. BACKWARD SLOPE - Needs too much feed pressure, causes excessive wear to bar and chain. Results from using a file with diameter too large, or file held too high. Depth Gauge Clearance See Figure 37 - 39.
