when operating the chain saw.
•
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 severe injury.
•
Keep the chain saw running at full speed the entire
time you are cutting.
•
Allow the chain to cut for you. Exert only light pressure.
Do not put pressure on chain saw at end of cut.
WARNING: When not in use always have the chain
brake engaged and battery removed.
On / Off Switch (Fig. L)
Always be sure of your footing and grip the chain saw firmly
with both hands with the thumb and fingers encircling
both handles.
To turn the unit on, ensure chain brake is not engaged. Slide
the lock off lever

, shown in Figure N, and squeeze the trigger
switch

. Once the unit is running, you may release the lock
off lever.
In order to keep the unit running you must continue to squeeze
the trigger. To turn the unit off, release the trigger.
nOTE: If too much force is applied while making a cut the
saw will turn off. To restart saw, you must release the trigger
switch
1
before the saw will restart. Begin your cut again this
time with less force. Allow the saw to cut at its own pace.
WARNING: Never attempt to lock a switch in the
ON position.
Setting The Chain Brake (Fig. K)
Your chain saw is equipped with a motor chain braking system
which will stop the chain quickly in case of kickback.
1. Remove the battery from the tool.
2. To engage the chain brake, push the chain brake / front
hand guard
3
forward until it clicks into place.
3. Pull the chain brake / front hand guard
handle

into the "set" position as shown in Figure K.
4. The tool is now ready to use.
nOTE: In the event of kickback, your left hand will come in
contact with the front guard, pushing it forward, toward the
workpiece. This will stop the tool.
Testing The Chain Brake
Test the chain brake before every use to make sure it
operates correctly.
1. Place the tool on a flat, firm surface. Make sure the saw
chain

is clear of the ground.
2. Grip the tool firmly with both hands and turn the chain
saw on.
3. Rotate your left hand forward around the front handle
so the back of your hand comes in contact with the Chain
brake / front hand guard

workpiece. The saw chain should stop immediately.

nOTE: If saw does not stop immediately, stop use of tool and
bring it to a STANLEY FATMAX service center nearest you.
WARNING: Make sure to set chain brake before cutting.
Bubble Level (Fig. A)
WARNING: Do not operate above shoulder height Align
bubble levels prior to making a cut.
Ideal for horizontal cutting to ensure a straight, flat cut for
fencing, decking or railing posts.
1. Align both bubble levels

2. Always start a cut with the saw chain running at full speed.
3. Place the bottom spike

of the initial cut.
4. Once a cut has begun and a notch is established in the
material, do not change the angle of the cut.
nOTE: Changing the angle will cause the bar to bend.
Common Cutting Techniques
(Fig. A, M, N, R, S, T, U)
Felling
The process of cutting down a tree. Be sure battery is fully
charged before felling a tree so you can finish on a single charge.
Do not fell trees in high wind conditions.
WARNING: Felling can result in injury. It should only be
performed by a trained person.
•
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.

•
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 be made.
•
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 (Figure S).
•
Felling Back Cut - Make the felling back cut at least 51 mm
higher than the horizontal notching cut. Keep the felling
back cut parallel to the horizontal notching cut. Make the
