WARNING: Read all safety warnings,

instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or seriousinjury.

AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR

FUTUREREFERENCE. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains- operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) powertool.

a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas inviteaccidents. 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 orfumes. c ) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to losecontrol.

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 electricshock. 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 orgrounded. c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electricshock. 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 electricshock. 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 electricshock. f ) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electricshock.

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 10" Chainsaw / Pole Saw CMECSP6103 English Chain Saw Safety Warnings a ) 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 sawchain. b ) 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. c ) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock. d ) 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. e ) Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of a chain saw while up in a tree may result in personalinjury. f ) 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 thechain saw. g ) When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained powertools. f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier tocontrol. 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 hazardoussituation. h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

a ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. fibres is released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the chain saw out of control. h ) Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you offbalance. i ) 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 movingsaw chain. j ) Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback. k ) Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control. l ) 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 hazardoussituation. Causes and Operator Prevention ofKickback 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 theoperator. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards theoperator. 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: a ) 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 thechain saw. b ) 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 unexpectedsituations. c ) Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer.

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 touser.

The following precautions should be followed to minimize kickback:

• Grip pole saw firmly. Hold the saw firmly with both hands when the unit is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the saw handle andpole.

• Keep proper footing and balance at alltimes.

• Don’t let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, ground or otherobstruction.

• Do not extend pole saw handle above shoulderheight.

• Use devices such as reduced kickback chain, chain braking system and special guide bars that reduce the risks associated withkickback.

• Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer or theequivalent.

• Never let the moving chain contact any object at the tip of the guidebar.

• Keep the working area free from obstructions such as other trees, branches, rocks, fences, stumps, etc. Eliminate or avoid any obstruction that your saw chain could hit while you are cutting through a particular log orbranch.

• Keep your saw chain sharp and properly tensioned. A loose or dull chain can increase the chance of kickback. Check tension at regular intervals with the motor stopped and power supplydisconnected.

• Begin and continue cutting only with the chain moving at full speed. If the chain is moving at a slower speed, there is a greater chance for kickback tooccur.

• Cut one branch at atime.

• Use extreme caution when re-entering a previous cut. Engage spiked bumpers into wood and allow chain to reach full speed before proceeding withcut.

• Do not attempt plunge cuts or borecuts.

• Watch for shifting branches or other forces that could close a cut and pinch or fall intochain. Pole Saw Names and Terms

shows the level of the oil in the chainsaw. If the oil level is less than a quarter full, unplug the chainsaw and refill with the properoil. nOTE: Use a high quality bar and chain oil for proper saw chain and bar lubrication. As a temporary substitute, a non- detergent SAE30 weight motor oil can be used. The use of a vegetable based bar and chain oil is recommended when pruning trees. Mineral oil is not recommended because it may harm trees. Never use waste oil or very thick oil. These may damage yourchainsaw. Filling the Oil Reservoir

1. Remove the oil cap

and fill the reservoir with the recommended chain oil until the oil level has reached the top of the oil level indicator

2. Refit the oilcap.

3. Periodically switch the chainsaw off and check the oil

level indicator to ensure the bar and chain are being properlyoiled. Attaching Extension Cord to Chainsaw (Fig.H) An extension cord retainer

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personalinjury.

• Guard Against Kickback which can result in severe injury or death. See General Power Tool Safety Warnings, Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback and Kickback Safety Features , to avoid the risk ofkickback.

• Do not overreach. Do not cut above chest height. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on bothfeet.

• Use a firm grip with 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 guidebar.

• Do not hold chainsaw by front hand guard

Keep elbow of left arm locked so that left arm is straight to withstand akickback.

WARNING: Never use a cross-handed grip (left

hand on the rear handle and right hand on the fronthandle).

WARNING: Never allow any part of your body to

be in line with the guide bar

when operating the chainsaw.

• Never operate while in a tree, in any awkward position or on a ladder or other unstable surface. You may lose control of saw causing severeinjury.

• Keep the chainsaw running at full speed the entire time you arecutting.

• Allow the saw chain to cut for you. Exert only light pressure. Do not put pressure on chainsaw at end ofcut. ON/OFF Switch (Fig.K) Always be sure of your footing and grip the chainsaw firmly with both hands with the thumb and fingers encircling bothhandles. Proper Hand Position (Fig.J)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal

injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can causeinjury. Fig.J

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 (refer to Fig.M). Fig.M 2" (51 mm)

• 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 cut is complete and use wedges to open the cut and drop the tree along the desired line of fall. When the tree begins to fall remove the chainsaw from the cut, stop the motor, put the chainsaw down, then use the retreat path planned. Be alert for overhead limbs falling and watch yourfooting. Limbing 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. Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom of the branch towards the top to avoid binding the chainsaw as shown in Fig.N. Trim limbs from opposite side keeping tree stem between you and saw. Never make cuts with saw between your legs or straddle the limb to becut. Fig.N Bucking

WARNING: Recommend that first time users should

practice cutting on a sawhorse. Bucking is cutting a felled tree or log into lengths. How you should cut depends on how the log is supported. To turn the tool ON, depress the lock off button

and squeeze the trigger switch

as shown in Fig.K. Once the tool is running you can release the lock offbutton. To turn the unit off, release thetrigger. Fig.K

Common Cutting Techniques (Fig.A, L–S) Felling The process of cutting down a tree. Do not fell trees in high windconditions.

WARNING: Felling can result in injury. It should only

be performed by a trainedperson.

• A retreat path should be planned and cleared as necessary before cuts are started. The retreat path should extend back and diagonally to the rear of the expected line of fall (refer to Fig.L). DIRECTION

• 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. Have wedges (wood, plastic or aluminum) and a heavy mallet handy. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples, and wire from the tree where the felling cuts are to bemade.

• Notching Undercut - Make the notch 1/3 of the diameter of the tree, perpendicular to the direction of the fall. 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 cut is being made (refer to Fig.M).

• Felling Back Cut - Make the felling back cut at least 2" (51mm) higher than the horizontal notching cut. Keep the felling back cut parallel to the horizontal notching cut. Make the felling back cut so enough wood is left13 ENGLISH

- Fig.S- When on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the log. When “cutting through”, to maintain complete control reduce the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the chainsaw handles. Don’t let the chain contact the ground. After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you move the chainsaw. Always stop the motor before moving from cut tocut. Fig.S NOTE: Use a saw horse (Fig.O) whenever possible. When using a saw horse, this is strongly recommended whenever possible. Position the log in a stable position. Always cut on the outside of the saw horsearms. Fig.O

1. Always start a cut with the saw chain running at

of the chainsaw behind the area of the initial cut as shown in Fig.P. Fig.P CUT FROM TOP (OVERBUCK)

3. Turn the chainsaw on then rotate the saw chain and bar

down into the tree, using the spike as ahinge.

4. Once the chainsaw gets to a 45° angle, level the
