Cutting with the Chain Saw WARNING Operating a chain saw improperly can cause serious personal injury or death. Read and follow all operating instructions carefully to avoid possible personal injury. WARNING g025213 Figure 11 Kickback can cause serious or fatal injury to you. Always ensure that the chain brake system is working properly before you operate the chain saw. 2. Stand on solid, even ground in front of the wood to be cut. 3.
Pruning a Tree WARNING Cutting higher limbs from a tree off the ground can put you in an unstable position that could be unsafe for you while handling a chain saw, resulting in possible serious personal injury or death to you or bystanders. When cutting limbs from a standing tree, use the following practices: • Do not climb on limbs or branches with a chain saw. • Do not overreach, and cut with both hands on the chain saw.
Note: Making this cut prevents the chain saw from being pinched while making the next cut. g228707 Figure 16 g195831 Figure 14 1. 2. 1. First cut 3. Hinge 2. Second cut 4. Back cut 5. Determine the direction that the tree will fall. Take the following variables into consideration: • Wind direction • Heavier limbs on 1 side of the tree • Natural tilt of the tree (if any) Make a second cut to form a notch, starting the cut at least 5 cm (2 inches) above and away from the first cut (Figure 16).
Limbing a Fallen Tree 1. Grip the chain saw as shown in Figure 11. 2. Moving from the base of the tree up, cut off the smaller limbs from the tree that are not supporting its weight off the ground (Figure 17). 3. Cut the larger limbs that support the weight of the tree from the bottom upward so that the limbs do not pinch the saw blade (Figure 18).
Bucking a Log When bucking a log, note where the log is supported and where there is a load on the log. Cut the log so that when the ends fall, your guide bar will not be pinched between them. Important: If the chain saw binds in the cut, do not attempt to free it by running the motor. Shut off the saw, then use a wedge to pry open the cut and release the saw. If you are cutting branches from a fallen tree or cutting a log into lengths, support the log off the ground (preferably on a sawbuck).
Removing the Battery Pack Installing the Battery Pack 1. Set the chain saw down on a level surface. 1. Place the chain saw on a flat surface. 2. Align the tongue of the battery pack with the battery cavity in the chain saw (Figure 22). 2. Press down on the latch and remove the battery pack from the cavity. g315763 Figure 23 1. Latch g315702 Figure 22 3. Push the battery pack into the battery cavity until the battery pack locks into place.
Maintenance Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Before each use or daily Maintenance Procedure • • • • • • Check the oil level and add bar and chain oil if necessary. Check the chain brake. Check that oil is flowing to the chain. Check the chain tension and adjust it if necessary. Ensure that the bar is straight and undamaged Check the chain for sharpness; contact an Authorized Service Dealer to have the chain sharpened or replaced.
Checking the Flow of Bar and Chain Oil Checking the Chain Brake Service Interval: Before each use or daily After each battery drain cycle Service Interval: Before each use or daily 1. Place the chain saw on a flat surface and remove the battery pack; refer to Removing the Battery Pack (page 16). 2. Engage the chain brake by moving the chain brake forward to the STOP position (Figure 25). 1. Prepare to use the chain saw; refer to Before Using the Chain Saw (page 9). 2.
Adjusting the Chain Tension 6. Hold up the tip of the guide bar (Figure 27). Service Interval: Before each use or daily After each battery drain cycle Ensure that the chain is properly tensioned. A loose chain shortens the life of the drive sprocket and the guide bar and may cause the chain to fall off. An overtightened chain overheats the guide bar and chain, causing rapid wear, and may burn out the motor or break the chain.
Servicing the Guide Bar, Chain, and Drive Sprocket Yearly or before storage DANGER Contact with the chain saw teeth can cause serious personal injury. • Remove the battery pack before adjusting or maintaining the chain saw. • Always wear gloves when adjusting or maintaining the chain saw. 1. 2. Place the chain saw on a flat surface and remove the battery pack; refer to Removing the Battery Pack (page 16).
Installing the Guide Bar and Chain 3. Note: If you are installing a new chain, flip the guide bar to avoid uneven wear. DANGER 4. Contact with the chain saw teeth can cause serious personal injury. • Remove the battery pack before adjusting or maintaining the chain saw. 2. Position the open loop of the chain (not on the guide bar) around the drive sprocket on the chain saw and install the guide bar and attached chain onto the chain saw as shown in Figure 31C.
Storage Important: Store the machine, battery pack, and charger only in temperatures that are within the appropriate range; refer to Specifications (page 9). Important: If you are storing the battery pack for the off-season, charge it until 2 or 3 LED indicators turn green on the battery. Do not store a fully charged or fully depleted battery.
Troubleshooting Perform only the steps described in these instructions. All further inspection, maintenance, and repair work must be performed by an authorized service center or a similarly qualified specialist if you cannot solve the problem yourself. Problem The chain saw does not run or does not run continuously. Possible Cause 1. The battery pack is low on charge. 1. Charge the battery pack. 2. The battery pack is not fully seated. 2.
