wrench or a key left attached to 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 jewelry. Tie back and keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can get caught in moving parts. G.
G. H. I. J. K. 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 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 use the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chain saw reduces the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.

Setup Note: The battery pack is not fully charged when you purchase it. Before using the tool for the first time, refer to Charging the Battery Pack (page 14). Filling the Chain Saw with Bar and Chain Oil Important: Use only bar and chain oil. 1. Place the chain saw on a level surface. 2. Clean the area around the oil cap (Figure 1). Note: Make sure that you do not allow debris/wood chips to enter the oil tank. g194202 Figure 2 g192110 Figure 1 1. Oil cap 3. 2.
Operation Product Overview Before Using the Chain Saw Before using the chain saw, do the following: • Clean and check the chain components for excessive wear or damage and replace them as needed; refer to Servicing the Guide Bar, Chain, and Drive Sprocket (page 17) and Sharpening the Chain (page 19). g192115 Figure 3 Left Side of Chain Saw • Check the oil level; refer to Checking the Oil Level and Adding Bar and Chain Oil (page 16). • Check the chain brake; refer to Checking the 1. Chain 6.
3. Shutting Off the Chain Saw Align the tongue of the battery pack with the battery cavity in the chain saw (Figure 7). To shut off the chain saw, release the trigger. Whenever you are not using the saw or are transporting the saw to or from the work area, move the chain brake to the STOP position (Figure 8). Cutting with the Chain Saw WARNING Operating a chain saw improperly can cause serious person injury or death.
Pruning a Tree Note: Keeping your left arm straight with your elbow locked helps reduce kickback. 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 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.
g212420 Figure 15 1. First cut 2. Second cut g195831 Figure 13 1. Determine the direction that the tree will fall. Consider the wind direction, if there are heavier limbs on 1 side of the tree, and the natural tilt of the tree, if any. 2. Determine a clear, safe retreat path away from the danger area; refer to Figure 14. 3. Back cut 5. 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 15). 6.
Limbing a Fallen Tree 1. Grip the chain saw as shown in Figure 11. 2. Cut off the smaller limbs from the tree that are not supporting its weight off the ground. g194825 Figure 17 3. g194824 Figure 16 Cut the larger limbs that are support of the weight of the tree from the bottom upward so that the limbs do not pinch the saw blade (Figure 18).
Bucking a Log • 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); refer to Figure 19. g194820 Figure 19 • If the log is supported on an end, cut from the top. 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.
Removing the Battery Pack 1. Place the chain saw on a flat surface. 2. Press down on the latch and remove the battery pack from the cavity. g192748 Figure 23 1. Battery pack cavity g192109 2.
