• Never cut through to the notch. Always leave a band
of wood between the notch and backcut (approxi-
mately 2" or 1/10 the diameter of the tree). This is
called "hinge" or "hingewood." It controls the fall of
the tree and prevents slipping or twisting or shoot-
back of the tree off the stump.
• On large diameter trees, stop the back cut before it is
deep enough for the tree to either fall or settle back
on the stump. Then insert soft wooden or plastic
wedges into the cut so they do not touch the chain.
The wedges can be driven in, little by little, to help
jack the tree over.
• As the tree starts to fall, stop the chainsaw and put
it down immediately. Be alert for overhead limbs
or branches that may fall and watch your footing.
Do not overreach and do not cut

above shoulder height. Failure to
do so could result in serious personal injury. If
you are unable to follow these instructions, use
a different tool such as a pole pruner.

Finishing Cut
Pruning is trimming limbs from a live tree.
• Work slowly, keeping both hands on the chainsaw with
a firm grip. Always make sure your footing is secure
and your weight is distributed evenly on both feet.
• Do not cut from a ladder, this is extremely danger-
ous. Leave this operation for professionals.
• Do not cut above shoulder height as a saw held
higher is difficult to control against kickback.
• Never position yourself under the branch you are
cutting and watch for falling branches.
• When pruning trees it is important not to make the
finishing cut next to the main limb or trunk until
you have cut off the limb further out to reduce the
weight. This prevents stripping the bark from the
main member.
• Underbuck the branch 1/3 through for your first cut.
• Your second cut should overbuck to drop the
branch off.
• Now make your finishing cut smoothly and neatly
against the main member so the bark will grow back
to seal the wound.

Springpoles are dangerous and
WARNING
could strike the operator, causing
the operator to lose control of the chainsaw. This
could result in severe or fatal injury to the operator.
Springpole
A springpole is any log, branch, rooted stump, or
sapling which is bent under tension by other wood
so that it springs back if the wood holding it is cut
or removed. On a fallen tree, a rooted stump has
a high potential of springing back to the upright
position during the bucking cut to separate the log
from the stump. Watch out for springpoles, they are
dangerous.
Transporting Saw
Before transporting, always:
1. Lock the chain brake by pushing hand guard/chain
brake forward.
2. Remove the battery pack
3. Place the cover over the guide bar.
4. Hold the saw by the top handle with the bar pointing
backwards.

WARNING
unplug the charger and remove the
battery pack from the charger or tool before
performing any maintenance. Never disassemble
the battery pack, charger, or tool, except as pro-
vided in these instructions. Contact a MILWAUKEE
service facility for all other repairs.
Maintaining Tool
1. Perform a daily functional test of the chain brake,
ensuring:
• the lock-off tab springs back and prevents the
trigger from being pressed,
• the hand guard/chain brake snaps into position
with an audible click, and
• the tool does not start when the chain brake is
locked, and the variable speed trigger is pressed.
