SAFETY

Safety definitions

The definitions below give the level of severity for each signal word.

WARNING: Injury to persons.

CAUTION: Damage to the product.

Note: This information makes the product easier to use.

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.

Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• 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.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

• 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.
• 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.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• 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.

• 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.
• 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 electric shock.

Personal safety

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• 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.
• 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.

Power tool use and care

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

• 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.
• 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.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• 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.

Battery tool use and care

• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

Service

• 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.

Chain saw safety warnings

• 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.
• 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.

• 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.
• 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.
• Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of a chain saw while up in a tree may result in personal injury.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
• 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 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 chain saw which could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your chain 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:

• Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles, with both hands on the chain 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.
• 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.
• Only use replacement bars and saw chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and saw chains may cause saw chain breakage and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.

• The first-time user should cut logs on a saw-horse or cradle as basic practice.

Kickbacks, skating, bouncing and dropping

Different forces can have an effect on the safe control of the product.

• Skating is when the guide bar moves quickly across the wood.
• Bouncing is when the guide bar lifts off the wood and touches it again and again.
• Dropping is when the product drops down after the cut is made. This can cause the moving chain to touch a part of the body or other objects, causing injury or damage.
• Kickback is when the end of the guide bar touches objects and moves rearward, up or suddenly forward. Kickback also occurs when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain during the cut. Loss of control can result if the product touches an object in wood.

• Rotational Kickback can occur when the moving chain touches an object at the top of the guide bar. This can cause the chain to bury into the object and cause the chain to stop immediately. The result is a very fast, reverse reaction that moves the guide bar up and rearward in the direction of the operator.

• Pinch-Kickback can occur when the saw chain suddenly stops during the cut. The wood closes in and pinches the moving saw chain along the top of the guide bar. The sudden stop of the chain reverses the chain force and causes the product to move in the opposite direction of the turn of the chain. The product moves rearward in the direction of the operator.

• Pull-In can occur when the saw chain suddenly stops when the moving chain touches an object in the wood along the bottom of the guide bar. The sudden stop pulls the product forward and away from the operator, which can easily cause the loss of control of the product by the operator.

Make sure that you understand the different forces and how to prevent them before you operate the product. See To prevent kickbacks, skating, bouncing and dropping on page 9.

To prevent kickbacks, skating, bouncing and dropping

• While the motor runs, make sure to hold the product tightly. Keep your right hand on the rear handle and the left hand on the front handle. Tightly hold with thumbs and fingers around the handles. Do not let go.
• Keep control of the product during the cut and after the wood falls to the ground. Do not let the weight of the product drop down after the cut is made.
• Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from blockage. Do not let the nose of the guide bar touch a log, branch or other blockages while you operate the product.

• Cut at high motor speeds.
• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.

• Obey the sharpening and maintenance instructions by the manufacturer for the saw chain.
  Only use replacement guide bars and saw chains specified by the manufacturer.
  The risk of kickback is increased if the depth gauge is set too large.

Personal protective equipment

Always use the correct personal protective equipment when you operate the product. Personal protective equipment decreases the grade of injury if an accident occurs, but does not erase it.
- Do not use loose clothing that can become caught in the saw chain.
- Use an approved protective helmet.
Always use approved ear protection while you operate the product. Noise for a long period can cause hearing loss.

To use a spike bumper

A spike bumper prevents kickbacks and holds the wood as you cut. The spike bumper is a pivot between the motor body and the guide bar.

1. Put the lower end of the spike bumper at the correct hinge width.
2. Press, with your left hand, against the front handle while you lift the rear handle with your right hand.
3. Saw until you get the correct hinge width.

Note: The hinge must have an equal thickness.

1. Saw more than half of the diameter and then put the felling wedge into the saw cut.

To fell a tree

1. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire from the tree.

2. Make a notch 1/3 the diameter of the tree, perpendicular to the direction of the fall.

1. Make the lower horizontal notch cut. This helps prevent pinching the saw chain or the guide bar when the second notch is made.
2. Make the felling back cut (X) a minimum of 50~mm (2 in) higher than the horizontal notch cut. Keep the felling back cut parallel to the horizontal notching cut so sufficient wood is left to be a hinge. Do not cut through the hinge. The hinge wood keeps the tree from twisting and falling in the incorrect direction.

1. As the felling back cut nears the hinge, the tree starts to fall. Make sure that the tree can fall in the correct direction and not rock rearward and pinch the saw chain. Stop the cut before the felling back cut is complete to prevent this. Use wedges of wood, plastic or aluminum to open the cut and let the tree fall along the necessary line of fall.

1. When the tree starts to fall, remove the product from the cut. Stop the motor, put the product down and use the planned escape path. Be careful of limbs falling from above and monitor your footing.

To limb a tree

1. Use larger limbs to hold the log off the ground.
2. Remove small limbs in one cut.

1. Cut branches that have tension from the bottom to the top to prevent pinching the saw chain or the guide bar.

To buck a log

CAUTION: Do not let the saw chain touch the ground.

• If the log has support along its full length, cut from the top of the log (known as overbucking).

• If the log has support on one end, cut 1/3 the diameter from below the log (known as underbucking).
  If the log has support on the two ends, cut 1/3 the diameter from the top. Complete the cut by underbucking the lower 2/3 of the log to touch the first cut.

• If you buck a log on a slope, always stay on the uphill side of the log. Cut through the log while you keep complete control of the product. Then release the cutting pressure near the end of the cut while tightly holding the rear handle and front handle.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Read and understand the safety chapter before you clean, repair or do maintenance on the product.

Maintenance schedule

Make sure that you obey the maintenance schedule. The intervals are calculated from daily use of the product. The intervals are different if you do not use the product each day. Only do the maintenance work that is found in this manual. Speak to an approved service center about other maintenance work not found in this manual.

Daily maintenance

Clean the external surfaces.
- Make sure that the trigger lockout and trigger work correctly.
- Clean the chain brake and make sure that it operates correctly.
- Examine the chain catcher for damage. Replace the chain catcher if it is damaged.
- Turn the guide bar daily for more equal wear.
- Make sure that the lubrication hole in the guide bar is not clogged.
- Remove saw dust and other unwanted material from below the sprocket cover.
Clean the guide bar groove.

Make sure that the guide bar and saw chain get sufficient oil.
- Examine the saw chain for:

• a crack in the rivets and links.
• irregularly worn rivets and links.
  the correct tension.
• burrs on the chain drive links.

If necessary, replace the saw chain.

• Sharpen the saw chain. See To sharpen the saw chain on page 15.
• Examine the drive sprocket for too much wear and replace if necessary.

• Clean the air intake of the motor housing.
  Make sure that the nuts and screws are tight.
• Make sure that the power switch works correctly.

To sharpen the saw chain

The cutter

The cutter is the cutting part of the saw chain and has a cutting tooth (A) and depth gauge (B). The cutting depth of the cutter is made by the difference in height between the two, the depth gauge setting (C).

Make sure to correctly sharpen the cutting teeth by using four important criteria:

File angle

• Cutting angle

• File position

• Round file diameter

To sharpen the cutting teeth

Use a round file and a file gauge to sharpen the cutting teeth. See Saw chain filing and saw chain combinations on page 19 for information on the recommended dimension of the file and gauge for the saw chain installed on your product.

1. Make sure that the saw chain has the correct tension. A chain without the correct tension moves to one side does and not sharpen correctly.
2. Use the file on all the teeth on one side. Then use the file on the cutting teeth from the inner face and decrease the pressure in the reverse direction.
3. Turn the product on the opposite side and use the file on the teeth.
4. Use the file to keep all teeth the same length. Replace a worn saw chain when the length of the cutting teeth decreases to 4 mm (5/32 in).

To adjust the depth gauge setting

Sharpen the cutting teeth before you set the depth gauge. See To sharpen the cutting teeth on page 15. After you sharpen the cutting tooth (A), the adjustment of the depth gauge (C) will decrease. To keep the best cutting performance, use a file on the depth gauge (B) to get the recommended depth gauge adjustment. See Guide bar and saw chain combinations on page 19 to find the correct depth gauge adjustment for your chain.

Note: These recommendations are for when the length of the cutting teeth has not been significantly decreased.

Use a flat file and depth gauge tool to adjust the depth gauge.

1. Put the depth gauge tool above the saw chain. More information about operation can be found on the package of the depth gauge tool.

1. Use the flat file on the top of the depth gauge that extends through the depth gauge tool. The depth gauge is adjusted correctly when there is no resistance as the file is pulled along the depth gauge tool.

To add tension to the saw chain

Note: Examine the tension of a new saw chain frequently during its running-in period.

1. Turn the guide bar retaining knob counterclockwise to loosen the guide bar.
2. Lift the top of the guide bar and extend the saw chain by turning the chain tension knob clockwise. Tighten the saw chain until it does not hang from the bottom of the guide bar.

1. Tighten the guide bar retaining knob and lift the top of the guide bar at the same time.

To examine the saw chain lubrication

1. Start the product and let it run at 3/4 speed. Point the nose of the guide bar at a light color surface almost 20~cm (8 in) away.
2. After 1 minute of running, a line of oil shows on the light surface.
3. If you cannot see the line of oil after 1 minute, clean the oil channel in the guide bar. Clean the groove in the edge of the guide bar.
4. Start the product and let it run at 3/4 speed. Point the nose of the bar at a light color surface almost 20 cm (8 in) away.
5. After 1 minute of running, a line of oil shows on the light surface.

6. If you cannot see the line of oil after 1 minute, speak to your approved dealer.

7. Make sure that you can pull the saw chain around freely by hand and that it does not hang down.
