metallic objects into your charger or battery pack
connections because of an electrical failure and hazard
will occur.
NOTE: Your battery pack is UNCHARGED and you must
charge once before use.
The battery charger supplied is matched to the Li-ion
battery installed in the machine. Do not use another
battery charger.
(1) CHARGING YOUR BATTERY PACK (See Fig. G, H)
The Li-ion battery is protected against deep discharging.
When the battery is empty, the machine is switched off
by means of a protective circuit.
In a warm environment or after heavy use, the battery
pack may become too hot to permit charging. Allow time
for the battery to cool down before recharging.
(2) TO REMOVE OR INSTALL BATTERY PACK (See Fig. I)
Depress the Battery Pack Release Button to remove the
Battery Pack from your tool. After recharging, insert the
Battery Pack into the battery port. A simple push and
slight pressure will be sufficient until a click is heard.
Check to see if the battery is fully secured.
NOTE: When removing the battery pack, hold it
firmly to avoid dropping and injury.
(3) HOLDING AND CONTROLLING THE PRUNING SAW
(See Fig. J)
Hold and control the pruning saw with one hand on the
Grip Area – wrap your thumb around the Grip Area.
Hold and control the garden pruner with your other hand
on the Secondary Grip Area.
2. SWITCHING ON AND OFF (See Fig. K)
ATTENTION: Check the battery pack before
14
using your cordless tool. Only use the battery
pack listed in the accessories section.
For switching on the tool, press the Lock-Out Button,
then fully press the On/Off Switch and hold in this
position. The Lock-Out Button can now be released.
For switching off, release the On/Off Switch.
3. CUTTING
IMPORTANT: Check recent replaced chain
tension about every 10 minutes during
operation.
(1) Installing the battery pack into the machine.
(2) Make sure section of log to be cut is not laying on
the ground. This will keep the chain from touching
the ground as it cuts through the log. Touching the
ground while the Chain is moving is dangerous and
will dull the Chain.
(3) When ready to make a cut, push the Lock-Out Button
completely in with the right thumb and squeeze the
trigger. This will turn saw on. Releasing the trigger
will turn the saw off. Make sure the saw is running at
full speed before starting a cut.
(4) When starting a cut, slowly place moving chain
against the wood. The wood should be as close to
the saw body as possible. Hold saw firmly in place
to avoid possible bouncing or skating (sideways
movement) of saw.
20V 5'' Chain Saw
(5) Guide the saw using light pressure and do not put
excessive force on the saw, letting the saw do its
work. The motor will overload and can burn out. It will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
intended.
(6) Remove the saw from a cut with the saw running
at full speed. Stop the saw by releasing the On/off
Switch. Make sure the chain has stopped before
setting the saw down.
(7) Keep practicing on scrap logs in a secure working
area until you are comfortable, using a fluid motion
and a steady cutting rate.
Kickback Safety Devices On This Saw
This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced kickback
Guide Bar. Both items reduce the chance of kickback.
However, kickback can still occur with this saw.
The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.
• Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make sure they
work properly.
• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
• Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
• Stand slightly to the left side of saw. This keeps your
body from being in direct line with chain.
• Do not let Guide Bar nose touch anything when chain
is moving.
• Never try cutting through two logs at same time. Only
cut one log at a time.
• Do not bury the Guide Bar nose or try plunge cut
(boring into wood using Guide Bar nose).
• Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that may
pinch chain.
• Use extreme caution when reentering a previous cut.
• Use only the low-kickback chain and Guide Bar
that were supplied with this pruning saw or
recommended.
• Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp with
proper tension.
How to use Saw Safely
1. Use the pruning saw only with secure footing.
2. Hold the pruning saw at the right-hand side of your
body (See Fig. L).
3. The Chain must be running at full speed before it
makes contact with the wood.
4. Use the Base Plate to secure the saw onto the wood
before starting to cut.
5. Use the Base Plate as a leverage point while cutting.
(See Fig. M)
6. Raise the Chain Guard when cutting from bottom to
top of material. (See Fig. N)
7. Do not operate the saw with arms fully extended,
attempt to saw areas which are difficult to reach, or
stand on a ladder while sawing. (See Fig. O)
Never use the pruning saw above shoulder height.
Cutting wood under tension (See Fig. P)
WARNING: When cutting a limb that is under
tension, use extreme caution. Be alert for
wood springing back. When wood tension is
released, limb could spring back and strike
operator causing severe injury or death.
When sawing logs supported on both ends, start the
