The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated

(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas

invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such

as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.

Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

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.

tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do

not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these

instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. 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.

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.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from

the battery, avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,

flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye

protection. Protective equipment such as 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.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are

connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can

reduce dust-related hazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool

for your application. The correct power tool will do the job

better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it

on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the

switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the

battery pack from the power tool before making any

adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power

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:

(1.) Grip Saw Firmly. Hold the chain saw firmly with both hands when

the motor is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling

the chain saw handles. Chain saw 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.

(13.) Use extreme caution when re-entering a previous cut. Engage

ribbed bumpers into wood and allow chain to reach full speed before

proceeding with 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.

When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to include the

catalog number and voltage. Consult the chart at the end of this

manual for compatibility of chargers and battery packs.

The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before using

the battery pack and charger, read the safety instructions below and

then follow charging procedures outlined.



• Do not charge or use the battery pack in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,

gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery pack from the

charger may ignite the dust or fumes.

• NEVER force the battery pack into the charger. DO NOT

modify the battery pack in any way to fit into a non-

compatible charger as battery pack may rupture causing

serious personal injury. Consult the chart at the end of this

manual for compatibility of batteries and chargers.

• Charge the battery packs only in designated D

eWALT chargers.

• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids. If appliance

does get wet, allow to dry for a minimum of 48 hours before using.

• Do not store or use the tool and batterypack in locations

where the temperature may reach or exceed 105°F (40°C)

(such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer). For

best life store battery packs in a cool, dry location.

NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a tool with the

trigger switch locked on. Never tape the trigger switch in the

ON position.

WARNING: Fire hazard. Never attempt to open the

battery pack for any reason. If the battery pack case is cracked or

damaged, do not insert into the charger. Do not crush, drop or damage

the battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has

received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in any way

(e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged

battery packs should be returned to the service center for recycling.

WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry

the battery pack so that metal objects can contact exposed

battery terminals. For example, do not place the battery pack in

aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with

loose nails, screws, keys, etc. Transporting batteries can possibly

cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in

contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand

tools and the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous

Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in

commerce or on airplanes (e.g., packed in suitcases and carry-on

luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So

when transporting individual battery packs, make sure that the battery

terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could

contact them and cause a short circuit.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM ION (Li-Ion)

• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely

damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can

explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when

lithium ion battery packs are burned.

• If battery contents come into contact with the skin,

immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If battery

liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15

minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed,

the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of liquid organic

carbonates and lithium salts.

• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation.

Provide fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.

WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be

flammable if exposed to spark or flame.

• Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.

• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the

charger. This will reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug and cord.

• 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 greater the capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gauge

has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a

drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When

using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure

each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size.

The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord

length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier

gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°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 the battery pack after use,

avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment

such as in a metal shed or an uninsulated trailer.

3. A cold battery pack will charge at about half the rate of a warm

battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate

throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to

maximum charge rate even if the battery pack warms.

This chain saw is equipped with an auto oiling system that keeps the

saw chain and guide bar constantly lubricated. The oil level indicator

(I) shows the level of the oil in the chain saw. If the oil level is less than

a quarter full, remove the battery from the chain saw and refill with

the correct type of oil.

Always empty oil tank when finished cutting.

NOTE: Use a high quality bar and chain oil for proper chain and

bar lubrication. As a temporary substitute, a non-detergent SAE30

weight motor oil can be used. The use of a vegetable based bar

and chain oil is recommended when pruning trees. Mineral oil is not

recommended because it may harm trees. Never use waste oil or

very

thick oil. These may damage your chain saw.

This tool is equipped with a variable

speed trigger switch. To turn the unit

on, ensure chain brake is not engaged.

Push down on the the lock off lever

(B), shown in , and squeeze

the trigger switch (A). Once the unit

is running, you may release the lock

off lever. The farther you depress the

trigger, the faster it will operate.

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 lock off lever (b) and the

trigger switch (A) 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

()

• 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 ().

• Felling Back Cut - Make the felling back cut at least 2 inches

(51mm) higher than the horizontal notching cut. Keep the felling

back cut parallel to the horizontal notching cut. Make the felling

back cut so enough wood is left to act as a hinge. The hinge wood

keeps the tree from twisting and falling in the wrong direction.

Do not cut through the

hinge ().

• As the felling cut gets

close to the hinge the

tree should begin to fall.

If there is any chance

that the tree may not fall

in the desired direction

or it may rock back and

bind the saw chain, stop

cutting before the felling

cut is complete and use wedges to open the cut and drop the

tree along the desired line of fall. When the tree begins to fall

remove the chain saw from the cut, stop the motor, put the

chain saw down, then use the retreat path planned. Be alert for

overhead limbs falling and watch your footing ().

LIMBING

Removing the branches

from a fallen tree. When

limbing, leave larger lower

limbs to support the log

off the ground. Remove

the small limbs in one cut.

Branches under tension

should be cut from the

bottom of the branch

towards the top to avoid

binding the chain saw as

shown in . Trim limbs from opposite side keeping tree stem

between you and saw. Never make cuts with saw between your legs

or straddle the limb to be cut.
