WARNING!
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in
EN 62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may differ. This may significantly increase the
exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it
is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.
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 serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
GENERAL 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 saw chain.
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 chain saw by insulated gripping surfaces only,
because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring. Saw chains
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the chain
saw "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
d) Wear eye protection. Further protective equipment for
hearing, head, hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate
protective equipment will reduce personal injury from flying debris or
accidental contact with the saw chain.
e) Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder, from a
rooftop, or any unstable support. Operation of a chain saw in this
manner could result in serious personal injury.
f) Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only
when standing on fixed, secure and level surface. Slippery or
unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control of the
chain saw.
g) 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.

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 off balance.
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 moving saw chain.
j) Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and
changing the bar and chain. Improperly tensioned or lubricated
chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
k) Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not
intended. For example: do not use chain saw for cutting metal,
plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the
chain saw for operations different than intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
l) Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have an understanding
of the risks and how to avoid them. Serious injury could occur to
the operator or bystanders while felling a tree.
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 saw 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 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:
ENGLISH
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 the chain 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 unexpected situations.
c) Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the
manufacturer. Incorrect replacement guide bars and chains may
cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
d) Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height
can lead to increased kickback.
Follow all instructions when clearing jammed material, storing
or servicing the chain saw. Make sure the switch is off and the
battery pack is removed. Unexpected actuation of the chain saw
while clearing jammed material or servicing may result in serious
personal injury.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
It is recommended to cut logs on a saw-horse or cradle when
operating the machine for the first time.
2
Ensure all guards, handles, and spiked bumper are properly fitted
and are in good condition.
Persons using the chain saw should be in good health. The chain
saw is heavy, so the operator must be physically fit.
The operator should be alert, have a good vision, mobility, balance,
and manual dexterity. If there is any doubt, do not operate the chain
saw.
Do not start using the chain saw until you have a clear work area,
secure footing, and a planned retreat path away from a falling tree.
Beware of the emission of lubricant mist and saw dust. Wear a mask
or respirator, if required.
Do not cut vines and/or small undergrowth.
Always hold the chain saw with both hands during operation. Use a
firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles.
Right hand must be on the rear handle and left hand on the front
handle.
Before starting the chain saw, make sure the saw chain is not
contacting any object.
Do not modify the chain saw in any way or use it to power any
attachments or devices not recommended by the manufacturer for
your chain saw.
There should be a first-aid kit containing large wound dressings and
a means to summon attention (e.g., whistle) close to the operator. A
larger more comprehensive kit should be reasonably nearby.
An incorrectly tensioned chain can jump off the guide bar and could
result in serious injury or fatality. The length of the chain depends on
the temperature. Check the tension frequently.
You should get used to your new chain saw by making simple
cuts on securely supported wood. Do this whenever you have
not operated the saw for some time. To reduce the risk of injury
associated with contacting moving parts, always stop the motor,
apply the chain brake, remove the battery pack and make sure all
moving parts have come to a stop before:
• cleaning or clearing a blockage
• leaving the machine unattended
• installing or removing attachments
• checking, conducting maintenance or working on the machine
The size of the work area depends on the job being performed as
well as the size of the tree or work piece involved. For example,
felling a tree requires a larger work area than making other cuts, i.e.,
bucking cuts, etc. The operator needs to be aware and in control of
everything happening in the work area.
Do not cut with your body in line with the guide bar and chain. If you
experience kickback, this will help prevent the chain coming into
contact with your head or body.
Do not use a back-and-forward sawing motion, let the chain do the
work. Keep the chain sharp and do not try to push the chain through
the cut.
Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of the cut. Be ready to
take on the weight of the saw as it cuts free from the wood. Failure
to do so could result in possible serious personal injury.
Do not stop the saw in the middle of a cutting operation.
Keep the saw running until it is already removed from the cut. Do
not fix the on/off switch in the "on" position when using the saw
hand-held.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the appliance.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack
or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or
conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals,
and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., Can cause a short
circuit.
Use only System M18 chargers for charging System M18 battery
packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry
rooms. Keep dry at all times.
Push and pull
The reaction force is always opposite to the direction the chain is
moving. Thus, the operator must be ready to control the tendency
for the machine to pull away (forward motion) when cutting on
the bottom edge of the bar and the push backwards (towards the
operator) when cutting along the top edge.
Saw jammed in the cut
Stop the chain saw and make it safe. Do not try to force the chain
and bar out of the cut as this is likely to break the chain, which may
swing back and strike the operator. This situation normally occurs
because the wood is incorrectly supported which forces the cut to
close under compression, thereby pinching the blade. If adjusting
the support does not release the bar and chain, use wooden wedges
or a lever to open the cut and release the saw. Never try to start the
chain saw when the guide bar is already in a cut or kerf.
Skating / Bouncing
When the chainsaw fails to dig in during a cut, the guide bar can
begin hopping or dangerously skidding along the surface of the log
or branch, possibly resulting in the loss of control of the chainsaw. To
prevent or reduce skating or bouncing, always use the saw with both
hands make sure the saw chain establishes a groove for cutting.
Never cut small, flexible branches or brushes with your chainsaw.
Their size and flexibility can easily cause the saw to bounce towards
you or bind up with enough force to cause a kickback. The best tool
for that kind of work is a hand saw, pruning shears, an axe or other
hand tools.
Personal protective equipment
Wear a helmet at all times when operating the machine. A helmet,
equipped with mesh visor, can help reduce the risk of injury to the
face and the head if kickback occurs. Wear ear protectors!
Good quality personal protective equipment, as used by
professionals, will help reduce the risk of injury to the operator. The
following items should be used when operating the machine:
