2) Electrical Safety
a ) 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.
b ) 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.
c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electricshock.
d ) 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.
e ) 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.
f ) 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.
3) Personal Safety
a ) 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.
b ) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust
mask, non‑skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personalinjuries.
c ) 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 energizing power tools that have the switch
on invitesaccidents.
d ) 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.
e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpectedsituations.
f ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in movingparts.

power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrainedusers.
e ) Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier tocontrol.
g ) 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.
h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpectedsituations.
5) Battery Tool Use and Care
a ) 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.
b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury andfire.
c ) 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.
Pruner Safety Warnings
a ) Keep all parts of the body away from the saw
chain when the pruner is operating. Before you
start the pruner, make sure the saw chain is not
contacting anything. A moment of inattention while
operating pruners may cause entanglement of your
clothing or body with the sawchain.
b ) Always hold the pruner with your right hand on
the rear handle and your left hand on the front
handle. Holding the pruner with a reversed hand
configuration increases the risk of personal injury and
should never bedone.
c ) Hold the power tool 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 pruner "live" and
could give the operator an electricshock.
d ) Wear safety glasses and hearing protection.
Further protective equipment for, head, hands,
legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective
clothing will reduce personal injury from flying debris or
accidental contact with the sawchain.
e ) Do not operate a pruner in a tree. Operation of a
pruner while up in a tree can result in personalinjury.
f ) Always keep proper footing and operate the
pruner only when standing on fixed, secure and
level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause
a loss of balance or control of the pruner.
ENGLISH
6
g ) When cutting a limb that is under tension, be
alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood
fibers is released, the spring loaded limb may strike the
operator and/or throw the pruner out ofcontrol.
h ) Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings. The slender material could catch the
saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you
offbalance.
i ) Carry the pruner by the front handle with the
pruner switched off and away from your body.
When transporting or storing the pruner always
fit the guide bar scabbard. Proper handling of the
pruner will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact
with the moving sawchain.
j ) Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain could break the
prunerchain.
k ) Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil
andgrease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery,
causing loss ofcontrol.
l ) Cut wood only. Do not use pruner for purposes
not intended. For example: do not use pruner for
cutting plastic, masonry or non‑wood building
materials. Use of the pruner for operations different
than intended could result in a hazardoussituation.
m ) Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the pruner handles, with both hands
on the pruner. Maintaining control of the pruner
will reduce the risk of losing control. Do not let go
of the pruner.
n ) Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder
height. This enables better control of the pruner in
unexpected situations.
o ) Only use replacement bars and chains specified
by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars
and chains can cause chain breakage and increase the
risk of injury.
p ) Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the pruner chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased risk of injury.
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 pruner 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:
a ) Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the pruner 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 pruner.
b ) Do not overreach and do not cut above
shoulder height. This helps prevent unintended tip
contact and enables better control of the pruner in
unexpectedsituations.
c ) Only use replacement bars and chains specified
by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and
chains may cause chain breakage and/orkickback.
d ) Follow the manufacturers sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increasedkickback.
The Following Precautions Should Be
Followed to Minimize Kickback:
1 . Grip saw firmly. Hold the pruner firmly with both
hands when the motor is running. Use a firm grip
with thumbs and fingers encircling the pruner
handles. Pruner will pull forward when cutting on the
bottom edge of the bar, and push backward when cutting
along the top edge of thebar.
2 . Do not overreach.
3 . Keep proper footing and balance at alltimes.
4 . Don’t let the nose of the guide bar contact a log,
branch, ground or otherobstruction.
5 . Don’t cut above shoulderheight.
6 . Use devices such as low kickback chain and reduced
kickback guide bars that reduce the risks associated
withkickback.
7 . Only use replacement bars and chains specified by
the manufacturer or theequivalent.
8 . Never let the moving chain contact any object at the
tip of the guidebar.
9 . Keep the working area free from obstructions such
as other trees, branches, rocks, fences, stumps, etc.
Eliminate or avoid any obstruction that your saw chain
could hit while you are cutting through a particular log
orbranch.
10 . Keep your saw chain sharp and properly tensioned.
A loose or dull chain can increase the chance of
kickback. Check tension at regular intervals with the
motor stopped and tool unplugged, never with the
motorrunning.
11 . Begin and continue cutting only with the chain
moving at full speed. If the chain is moving at a slower
speed, there is a greater chance for kickback tooccur.
12 . Cut one log at atime.
7
ENGLISH
13 . Use extreme caution when re‑entering a previous cut.
Engage the ribbed bumpers 21 onto the wood and allow
the chain to reach full speed before proceeding witha cut.
14 . Do not attempt plunge cuts or borecuts.
15 . Watch for shifting logs or other forces that could
close a cut and pinch or fall intochain.
Kickback Safety Features
WARNING: The following features are included
on your saw to help reduce the hazard of kickback;
however such features will not totally eliminate this
dangerous reaction. As a pruner user do not rely
only on safety devices. You must follow all safety
precautions, instructions, and maintenance in this
manual to help avoid kickback and other forces which
can result in seriousinjury.
Reduced‑Kickback Guide Bar, designed with a small radius
tip which reduces the size of the kickback danger zone on
bar tip. A reduced ‑ kickback guide bar is one which has
been demonstrated to significantly reduce the number and
seriousness of kickbacks when tested in accordance with
safety requirements for electric pruners.
Low‑Kickback Chain, designed with a contoured depth
gauge and guard link which deflect kickback force and
allow wood to gradually ride into the cutter. A low‑kickback
chain is a chain which has met kickback performance
requirements of ANSI B175.1–2012.
Do not operate pruner while in a tree, on a ladder, on a
scaffold, or from any unstablesurface.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing
an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool “live” and shock theoperator.
Do not attempt operations beyond your capacity or
experience. Read thoroughly and understand completely all
instructions in thismanual.
Before you start pruner, make sure saw chain is not
contacting anyobject.
Do not operate a pruner with one hand! Serious injury to the
operator, helpers, or bystanders may result from one handed
operation. A pruner is intended for two‑handed useonly.
Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil orgrease.
Do not allow dirt, debris, or sawdust to build up on the
motor or outside airvents.
Stop the pruner before setting itdown.
Do not cut vines and/or small underbrush.
Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and
saplings because slender material may catch the saw chain
and be whipped toward you or pull you offbalance.

when the battery pack is below +40°F (+4.5°C), or
above +104°F (+40°C). This is important and will
prevent serious damage to the batterypack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the
touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of
Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not
be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to
damage orstress.
Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in
risk of fire, electric shock orelectrocution.
When operating a charger outdoors, always provide
a dry location and use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electricshock.
An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the heavier the cord and
thus the greater its capacity. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The following table shows the correct size
to use depending on total length of all extension cords
plugged together, and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heaviergauge.

Saw Chain Sharpening (Fig.N–P)
CAUTION: Sharp chain. Always wear protective gloves
when handling the chain. The chain is sharp and can
cut you when it is notrunning.
WARNING: Sharp moving chain. To prevent accidental
operation, ensure that battery is removed from the tool
before performing the following operations. Failure to
do this could result in serious personalinjury.
WARNING: Do not over file chain rakers, this will
increase the risk of kickback. If the chain has been
sharpened more than four times, replaceit.
Each time the chain is sharpened, it loses some of the low
kickback qualities and extra caution should beused.
It is recommended that a saw chain be sharpened no more
than fourtimes.
NOTE: The cutters will dull immediately if they touch the
ground/dirt or a nail whilecutting.
To get the best possible performance from your pruner it is
important to keep the teeth of the saw chain sharp. Follow
these helpful tips for proper saw chain sharpening:
1. For best results use a 11/64" (4.5mm) file and a file holder
or filing guide to sharpen your saw chain. This will ensure
you always get the correct sharpeningangles.
2. Place the file holder flat on the top plate and depth
gauge of thecutter.
3. Keep the correct top plate23 filing angle line of 30° on
your file guide parallel with your chain (file at 60° from
chain viewed from the side) as shownin Fig. N.
4. Sharpen cutters on one side of the chain first. File from
the inside of each cutter to the outside. Then turn your
saw around and repeat the processes (2, 3, 4) for cutters
on the other side of thechain.
NOTE: Use a flat file to file the tops of the rakers (portion
of chain link in front of the cutter) so they are about .025"
(.635 mm) below the tips of the cutters as shownin Fig. O.
5. Keep all cutter lengthsequal as shownin Fig. P.
6. If damage is present on the chrome surface of the
top plates or side plates, file back until such damage
isremoved.
CAUTION: After filing, the cutter will be sharp, use
extra caution during thisprocess.

1) Sécurité du lieu de travail
a ) Tenir l’aire de travail propre et bien éclairée.
Les lieux encombrés ou sombres sont propices
auxaccidents.
b ) Ne pas faire fonctionner d’outils électriques
dans un milieu déflagrant, tel quen présence de
liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables.
Les outils électriques produisent des étincelles qui
pourraient enflammer la poussière ou lesvapeurs.
c ) Éloigner les enfants et les personnes à proximité
pendant l’utilisation d’un outil électrique. Une
distraction pourrait en faire perdre la maîtrise
àl’utilisateur.
2) Sécurité en matière d’électricité
a ) Les fiches des outils électriques doivent
correspondre à la prise. Ne jamais modifier la
fiche d’aucune façon. Ne jamais utiliser de fiche
d’adaptation avec un outil électrique mis à la
terre. Le risque de choc électrique sera réduit par
l’utilisation de fiches non modifiées correspondant à
laprise.
b ) Éviter tout contact physique avec des surfaces
mises à la terre comme des tuyaux, des radiateurs,
des cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs. Le risque de
choc électrique est plus élevé si votre corps est mis à
laterre.
c ) Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à la pluie ou
à l’humidité. La pénétration de l’eau dans un outil
électrique augmente le risque de chocélectrique.
d ) Ne pas utiliser le cordon de façon abusive. Ne
jamais utiliser le cordon pour transporter, tirer
ou débrancher un outil électrique. Tenir le
cordon éloigné de la chaleur, de l’huile, des bords
tranchants et des pièces mobiles. Les cordons
endommagés ou enchevêtrés augmentent les risques
de chocélectrique.
e ) Pour l’utilisation d’un outil électrique à l’extérieur,
se servir d’une rallonge convenant à cette
application. L’utilisation d’une rallonge conçue pour
l’extérieur réduira les risques de chocélectrique.
f ) S’il est impossible d’éviter l’utilisation d’un
outil électrique dans un endroit humide,
brancher l’outil dans une prise ou sur un circuit
d’alimentation dotés d’un disjoncteur de fuite à
la terre (GFCI). L’utilisation de ce type de disjoncteur
réduit les risques de chocélectrique.
3) Sécurité personnelle
a ) Être vigilant, surveiller le travail effectué et faire
preuve de jugement lorsqu’un outil électrique est
utilisé. Ne pas utiliser d’outil électrique en cas de
fatigue ou sous l’influence de drogues, d’alcool ou
de médicaments. Un simple moment d’inattention en
utilisant un outil électrique peut entraîner des blessures
corporellesgraves.
b ) Utiliser des équipements de protection
individuelle. Toujours porter une protection
oculaire. L’utilisation d’équipements de protection
comme un masque antipoussière, des chaussures

e ) Gardez les poignées et surfaces d’emprise propres
et libres de tout produit lubrifiant. Vérifier si les
pièces mobiles sont mal alignées ou coincées,
si des pièces sont brisées ou présentent toute
autre condition susceptible de nuire au bon
fonctionnement de l’outil électrique. En cas de
dommage, faire réparer l’outil électrique avant
toute nouvelle utilisation. Beaucoup d’accidents
sont causés par des outils électriques malentretenus.
f ) S’assurer que les outils de coupe sont aiguisés et
propres. Les outils de coupe bien entretenus et affûtés
sont moins susceptibles de se coincer et sont plus faciles
àmaîtriser.
g ) Utiliser l’outil électrique, les accessoires, les forets,
etc. conformément aux présentes directives en
tenant compte des conditions de travail et du
travail à effectuer. L’utilisation d’un outil électrique
pour toute opération autre que celle pour laquelle il a
été conçu estdangereuse.
h ) Garder vos mains et les surfaces de prise sèches,
propres et libres de graisse et de poussière. Les
mains et les surfaces de prise glissante ne permettent
pas la manutention et le contrôle sécuritaires de l’outil
dans les situationsimprévues.
5) Utilisation et entretien du bloc‑piles
a ) Ne recharger l’outil qu’au moyen du chargeur
précisé par le fabricant. L’utilisation d’un chargeur
qui convient à un type de bloc‑piles risque de
provoquer un incendie s’il est utilisé avec un autre type
de b loc‑piles.
b ) Utiliser les outils électriques uniquement avec
les blocs‑piles conçus à cet effet. L’utilisation de
tout autre bloc‑piles risque de causer des blessures ou
unincendie.
c ) Lorsque le bloc‑piles nest pas utilisé, le tenir
éloigné des objets métalliques, notamment
des trombones, de la monnaie, des clés, des
clous, des vis ou autres petits objets métalliques
qui peuvent établir une connexion entre les
deux bornes. Le court‑circuit des bornes du bloc‑piles
risque de provoquer des brûlures ou unincendie.
d ) En cas d’utilisation abusive, le liquide peut gicler
hors du bloc‑piles; éviter tout contact avec ce
liquide. Si un contact accidentel se produit, laver
à grande eau. Si le liquide entre en contact avec
les yeux, obtenir également des soins médicaux.
Le liquide qui gicle hors du bloc‑piles peut provoquer
des irritations ou desbrûlures.
e ) Ne pas utiliser de bloc‑piles ou outil qui a été
endommagé ou modifié. Les unités endommagées
ou modifiées peuvent avoir une réaction imprévisible
résultant en un incendie, une explosion ou un potentiel
deblessure.
f ) Ne pas exposer de bloc‑piles ou l’outil aux
flammes ou à des températures excessives.
Lexposition aux flammes ou à une température
au‑dessus de 130°C (265°F) pourrait causer
uneexplosion.
antidérapantes, un casque de sécurité ou des
protecteurs auditifs lorsque la situation le requiert
réduira les risques de blessurescorporelles.
c ) Empêcher les démarrages intempestifs. S’assurer
que l’interrupteur se trouve à la position d’arrêt
avant de relier l’outil à une source d’alimentation
et/ou d’insérer un bloc‑piles, de ramasser ou de
transporter l’outil. Transporter un outil électrique
alors que le doigt repose sur l’interrupteur ou brancher
un outil électrique dont l’interrupteur est à la position
de marche risque de provoquer unaccident.
d ) Retirer toute clé de réglage ou clé avant de
démarrer l’outil. Une clé ou une clé de réglage
attachée à une partie pivotante de l’outil électrique
peut provoquer des blessurescorporelles.
e ) Ne pas trop tendre les bras. Conserver son
équilibre en tout temps. Cela permet de mieux
maîtriser l’outil électrique dans les situationsimprévues.
f ) S’habiller de manière appropriée. Ne pas porter
de vêtements amples ni de bijoux. Garder les
cheveux, les vêtements et les gants à l’écart des
pièces mobiles. Les vêtements amples, les bijoux ou
les cheveux longs risquent de rester coincés dans les
piècesmobiles.
g ) Si des composants sont fournis pour le
raccordement de dispositifs de dépoussiérage
et de ramassage, s’assurer que ceux‑ci sont bien
raccordés et utilisés. L’utilisation d’un dispositif de
dépoussiérage peut réduire les dangers engendrés par
lespoussières.
h ) Ne pas laisser votre connaissance acquise suite
l’utilisation fréquente des outils vous permettre
de baisser la garde et ignorer les principes de
sécurité de l’outil. Un acte irréfléchi peut causer une
blessure grave en une fraction deseconde.
4) Utilisation et entretien d’un
outilélectrique
a ) Ne pas forcer un outil électrique. Utiliser l’outil
électrique approprié à l’application. Loutil
électrique approprié effectuera un meilleur travail,
de façon plus sûre et à la vitesse pour laquelle il a
étéconçu.
b ) Ne pas utiliser un outil électrique dont
l’interrupteur est défectueux. Tout outil électrique
dont l’interrupteur est défectueux est dangereux et doit
êtreréparé.
c ) Débranchez la fiche de la prise électrique et, si
amovible, retirez le bloc‑piles de l’outil avant
d’effectuer tout ajustement, changement et
entreposage de celui‑ci. Ces mesures préventives
réduisent les risques de démarrage accidentel de
l’outilélectrique.
d ) Ranger les outils électriques hors de la portée
des enfants et ne permettre à aucune personne
n’étant pas familière avec un outil électrique ou
son mode d’emploi d’utiliser cet outil. Les outils
électriques deviennent dangereux entre les mains
