GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

Model CS34016S

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in

electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

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

mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated

(cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark

areas invite accidents.

• 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.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

• 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.

• 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.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of

electric shock.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

Personal safety

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

all times. This enables better control of the power tool in

unexpected situations.

• 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.

• 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.

Power tool use and care

• 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.

• 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.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

• 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

tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

• 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.

• 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.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less

likely to bind and are easier to control.

• 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.

Service

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair

person using only identical replacement parts. This

will ensure that the safety of the power tool is

maintained.

• When servicing a power tool, use only identical

replacement parts. Follow instructions in the

Maintenance section of this manual. Use of

unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance

instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

• 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.

• 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.

• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces

only, because the saw chain may contact hidden

wiring or its own cord. Saw chains contacting a live wire

may make exposed metal parts of the power tool live and

could give the operator an electric shock.

• Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further

protective equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is

recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce

personal injury by flying debris or accidental contact with

the saw chain.

• Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of a

chain saw while up in a tree may result in personal injury.

• Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw

only when standing on fixed, secure and level surface.

Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a

loss of balance or control of the chain saw.

• 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 chain saw out of control.

• 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.

• 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.

• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning

and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or

lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance

for kickback.

• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.

• Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes

not intended. For example: do not use chain saw for

cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building

materials. Use of the chain saw for operations different

than intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Model CS34016S

CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

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:

It is possible to tie the extension cord and power cord in a knot

to prevent them from becoming disconnected

during use. Make the knot as shown, then con-

nect the plug end of the power cord into the re-

ceptacle end of the extension cord. This method

can also be used to tie two extension cords to-

gether.

WARNING: CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 This product

contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause

cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

WARNING: Some dust and debris created by this product

could contain chemicals known to the State of California to

cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some

examples of these chemicals are:

-chemicals in fertilizers

-compounds in insecticides, herbicides and pesticides

-arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber

Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, depending

on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your

exposure, work in a well ventilated area and with approved

safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially

designed to filter out microscopic particles.

WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm -

www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

DOUBLE INSULATION – Double Insulation is a concept in

safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for

the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed

metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor

components with protecting insulation. Double insulated

tools do not need to be grounded.

NOTE: The double insulated system is intended to protect

the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool’s

internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to

avoid electrical shock.

POLARIZED PLUGS – To reduce the risk of electric shock,

this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than

the other). This equipment must be used with a suitable

polarized 2 wire or 3 wire extension cord. Polarized

connections will fit together only one way. Make sure that

the receptacle end of the extension cord has large and small

blade slot widths. If the plug does not fit fully into the

extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, obtain

a suitable extension cord. If the extension cord does not fit

fully into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install

the proper outlet. Do not change the tool plug or extension

cord in any way.

WARNING: Use outdoor extension cords marked SW-A,

SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOWA.

These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of

electric shock.

EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in

good condition. When using an extension cord be sure it is

heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An

undersized extension 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 cord

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

next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the

heavier the cord.

• 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.

• Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder

height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and ena-

bles better control of the chain saw in unexpected situa-

tions.

• Only use replacement bars and chains specified by

the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains

may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.

• Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and

maintenance instructions for the saw chain.

Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased

kickback.

REPLACING THE GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN

DANGER: Never start the motor before installing the guide

bar, and chain. Without these parts in place, the clutch can

fly off or explode, exposing the user to possible serious injury.

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, read and

understand all the safety instructions provided.

DANGER: Before performing any maintenance, make sure

the tool is unplugged from the power supply. Failure to heed

this warning could result in serious personal injury.

CAUTION: Always wear gloves when handling the bar and

chain; these components are sharp and may contain burrs.

WARNING: Never touch or adjust the chain while the motor

is running. The saw chain is very sharp; always wear

protective gloves when performing maintenance to the chain

to avoid possible serious lacerations.

NOTE: When replacing the guide bar and chain, use only

identical replacement parts.

REPLACING THE SAW CHAIN

• Disconnect chain saw from power supply. Lay the chain

saw on flat surface.

• Unscrew the nut by turning the chain cover knob

counter-clockwise.

• Remove the chain cover.

• Remove the bar and chain assembly from the mounting

surface.

• Remove the old chain from the bar.

• Lay out the new saw chain in a loop and straighten any

kinks. The cutters should face in the direction of the chain

rotation. If they face backwards, turn the loop over.

REPLACING THE GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN

Model CS34016S

• Replace the chain drive links into the bar groove.

NOTE: Make certain of the direction of chain.

• Position the chain so there is a loop at the back of the

bar.

• Hold the chain in position on the bar and place the loop

around the sprocket. Raise it to an angle of approx..45

degrees. This will make it easier to place the saw chain

onto the sprocket. It is normal that the saw chain is slack.

• Pre-tighten the chain tension by turning the tension plate

clockwise.

• Replace the chain cover. Secure by turning the chain

cover knob clockwise. Only lightly tighten the knob as you

will still need to tension the saw chain.

TENSIONING THE SAW CHAIN

• To tighten the chain, turn the tensioning wheel clockwise.

To loosen the tension, turn the tensioning wheel

counter-clockwise.

• Tighten the chain cover knob by turning it clockwise.

• Re-adjust tension of the saw chain when necessary.

The chain is correctly tensioned when there is no sag on the

underside of the guide bar, the chain is snug, but it can be

turned by hand without binding.

NOTE: If chain is too tight, it will not rotate. Loosen by turning

the tensioning wheel. Ensure that the chain will rotate without

binding.

NOTE: A new chain tends to stretch, check chain tension

frequently and tension as required.

REPLACING THE BAR

• Disconnect chain saw from power supply.

• Use a Phillips head screw driver to remove the fixing

screw. Remove the tension plate from the old bar.

• Attach the tension plate to the new bar. Make sure the

round end of the clamping plate is placed in the direction

as shown below and the clamping bolt is placed at the

bottom. Tighten the fixing screw.

• Replace the saw chain (see Saw Chain Replacement

instructions)

OPERATING

TO TURN THE TOOL ON

Push the lock button in with your thumb and then squeeze the

trigger with your fingers. (Once the tool is running, you can release

the lock button). To turn the tool OFF, release the trigger.

WARNING: To guard against injury, observe the following:

- Read instruction manual before using, save instruction manual.

- Keep hands away from chain.

- Keep hands on handles. Don’t overreach.

A good, firm grip on the saw with both hands will help you maintain

control. Don’t let go. Grip the rear handle with your right hand

whether you are right or left handed. Wrap the fingers of your left

hand over and around the front handlebar, and your left thumb

under the front handlebar.

WARNING: Do not operate chain saw in a tree, on a ladder, or on a

scaffold; this is extremely dangerous.

CAUTION: Chain coasts after turned off.

Do not use under wet conditions.

Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush, saplings or

limbs under tension, because slender and tense material may catch

the saw and be whipped toward you, pull you off balance or spring

back.

Do not cut vines and/or small underbrush.

WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with this type of tool to make

you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is

sufficient to inflict serious injury.

Before you start the unit, make sure the chain saw is not contacting

any object.

WARNING: Do not cut trees near electrical wires or buildings.

Make sure you follow the instructions in maintenance for putting oil

in the chain saw.

CAUTION: Failure to lubricate the chain will cause damage to the

bar and chain. Use only a good quality bar and chain oil or, if not

available, unused SAE 30 weight motor oil may be substituted. One

minute of use will consume approx. 0.2 fl. oz. (6ml) of oil.

NOTE: It is normal for oil to seep from the saw when not in use. To

prevent seepage, empty the oil tank after each use. When storing

the unit for a long period of time (3 months or longer) be sure the

chain is lightly lubricated; this will prevent rust on the chain and bar

sprocket.

WARNING: Kickback may occur when the moving chain contacts

an object at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar or when the

wood closes in and pinches the chain saw in the cut. Contact at the

upper portion of the tip of the guide bar can cause the chain to dig

into the object and stop the chain for an instant. The result is a

lightening fast, reverse reaction which kicks the guide bar up and

back toward the operator. If the chain saw is pinched along the top

of the guide bar, the guide bar can be driven rapidly back toward

the operator. Either of these reactions can cause loss of saw

control which can result in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively

upon the safety devices built into the saw. As a chain saw user, you

should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from

accident or injury.

WARNING: Do Not use the chain saw with any type of accessory

or attachment. Such usage might be hazardous.

The following precautions should be followed to minimize

kickback:

1. Always grip the saw firmly with both hands. Hold the saw

firmly with both hands when the unit is running. Place your

right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front

handle with your thumbs and fingers encircling the chain

saw handles. A firm grip together with a stiff left arm will help

you maintain control of the saw if kickback occurs.

2. Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from

obstructions. Do not let the nose of the guide bar contact a

log, branch, fence or any other obstruction that could be hit

while you are operating the saw.

3. Always cut with the unit running at full speed. Fully squeeze

the throttle trigger and maintain a steady cutting speed.

Push and Pull – This reaction force is always opposite to the

direction the chain is moving where wood contact is made. Thus,

the operator must be ready to control the PULL when cutting on

the bottom edge of the bar, and PUSH when cutting along the top

edge.

Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.

Proper Cutting Stance

Weight should be balanced with both feet on solid ground.

Keep left arm with elbow locked in a “straight arm” position to

withstand any kickback force.

Your body should always be to the left of the chain line.

Basic Cutting Procedure

Small trees up to 6-7inches in diameter are usually cut in a single

cut. Large trees require notch cuts. Notch cuts determine the

direction the tree will fall.

WARNING: If the tree starts to fall in the wrong direction, or if the

saw gets caught or hung up during the fall, leave the saw and

save yourself.

WARNING: Periodically glance at the top of the tree during the

back-cut to assure the tree is going to fall in the desired direction.

Practice cutting a few small logs using the following technique to

get the “feel” of using the saw before you begin a major sawing

operation.

Take the proper stance in front of the wood with the saw off.

Squeeze the trigger and let the chain accelerate to full speed

before entering the cut.

Hold the saw firmly with both hands. Always keep your left hand

on the front handle and your right hand on the rear handle so that

your body is to the left of the chain line.

Model CS34016S

OPERATING

Keep the unit running the entire time you are cutting, maintain

a steady speed.

Allow the chain to cut for you; exert only light downward

pressure. If you force the cut, damage to the bar, chain, or

unit can result.

Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of the cut.

When felling a tree, keep everyone a safe distance from the

cutting area. During felling operations, the safe distance

should be at least twice the height of the largest trees in the

felling area. If the tree makes contact with any utility line, the

utility company should be notified immediately.

Always cut with both feet on solid ground to prevent being

pulled off balance.

Do not cut above chest height, as a saw held higher is difficult

to control against kickback forces.

FELLING A TREE

When bucking and felling operations are being performed by

two or more persons, at the same time, the felling operation

should be separated from the bucking operation by a distance

of at least twice the height of the tree being felled. Trees

should not be felled in a manner that would endanger any

person, strike any utility line or cause any property damage. If

the tree does make contact with any utility line, the utility

company should be notified immediately.

WARNING: Check the tree for damaged or dead branches

that could fall and hit you during felling.

Before any cuts are started, pick your escape route (or routes

in case the intended route is blocked); clear the immediate

area around the tree and make sure there are no obstructions

in your planned path of retreat. A clear path of safe retreat is

approximately 135 degrees from planned line of fall. The

retreat path should extend back and diagonally to the rear of

the expected line of fall.

Before felling is started, consider the force and direction of

the wind, the lean and balance of the tree, and the location of

large limbs. These things influence the direction in which the

tree will fall. Do not try to fell a tree along a line different from

its natural line of fall.

The chain saw operator should keep on the uphill side of the

terrain as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after it is

felled.

Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples, and wire from

the tree where felling cuts are to be made.

NOTCHED UNDERCUT – Cut a notch about 1/3 diameter of

the tree, perpendicular to the direction of the fall. Make the

cuts of the notch so they intersect at a right angle to the line

of fall. This notch should be cleaned out to leave a straight

line. To keep the weight of the wood off the saw, always

make the lower cut of the notch before the upper cut.

WARNING: Do not fell trees during periods of high wind or

heavy precipitation. Wait to do your cutting until the hazard

has ended.

WARNING: Do not cut down trees having an extreme lean or

large trees that have rotten limbs, loose bark, or hollow

trunks. Have these trees pushed or dragged down with heavy

equipment, then cut them up.

FELLING BACK-CUT

The back-cut is always made level and horizontal, and at a

minimum of 2 inches (5cm) above the horizontal cut of the

notch.

Never cut through to the notch. Always leave a band of wood

between the notch and back-cut (approximately 2 inches

(5cm) or 1/10 the diameter of the tree). This is called “hinge”

or “hinge wood.” 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.

Model CS34016S

OPERATING

CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS

LIMBING

Limbing is removing branches from a fallen tree.

Work slowly, keeping both hands on the chain saw with a firm grip.

Always make sure your footing is secure and your weight is distributed

evenly on both feet.

Leave the larger support limbs under the tree to keep the tree off the

ground while cutting.

Limbs should be cut one at a time. Remove the cut limbs from the work

area often to help keep the work area clean and safe.

Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid

binding the chain saw.

Keep the tree between you and the chain saw while limbing. Cut from

the side of the tree opposite the branch you are cutting.

WARNING: Never climb into a tree to limb or prune. Do not stand on

ladders, platforms, a log, or in any position which can cause you to

lose your balance or control of the saw.

PRUNING

Pruning is trimming limbs from a live tree.

Work slowly, keeping both hands on the chain saw with a firm grip.

Always make sure your footing is secure and your weight is distributed

evenly on both feet.

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.

Under-buck the branch 1/3 through for your first cut. Your second cut

should over-buck 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.

WARNING: SPRINGPOLES

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. They could result in severe or fatal injury.

As the tree starts to fall, stop the chain saw and put it down

immediately. Retreat along the cleared path, but watch the action in

case something falls your way. Be alert for overhead limbs or

branches that may fall and watch your footing.

WARNING: Never cut through to the notch when making a back-cut.

The hinge controls the fall of the tree, this is a section of wood

between the notch and back-cut.

BUCKING

Bucking is the term used for cutting a fallen tree to the desired log

length.

Always make sure your footing is secure and your weight is

distributed evenly on both feet.

Cut only one log at a time. Support small logs on a saw horse or

another log while bucking.

Keep a clear cutting area. Make sure that no objects can contact the

guide bar nose and chain during cutting, this can cause kickback.

When bucking on a slope, always stand on the uphill side of the log.

To maintain complete control of the chain saw when cutting through

the log, release the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without

relaxing your grip on the chain saw handles. Do not let the chain

contact the ground. After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain

to stop before you move the chain saw. Always stop the motor

before moving from tree to tree.

BUCKING LOGS UNDER STRESS

When the log is supported along its entire length, it should be cut

from the top or over-bucking.

When the log is supported on one end, cut 1/3 diameter from the

underside or under-bucking. Then make the finishing cut by

over-bucking to meet the first cut.

As the log is being cut, it will tend to bend. The saw can become

pinched or hung in the log if you make the first cut deeper than 1/3

of the diameter of the log.

Give special attention to logs under stress to prevent the bar and

chain from pinching.

OVERBUCKING – Begin on the top

side of the log with the bottom of the

saw against the log; exert light pressure

downward. Note that the saw will tend

to pull away from you.

UNDER-BUCKING – Begin on the

under side of the log with the top of the

saw against the log; exert light pressure

upward. During under-bucking, the

saw will tend to push back at you. Be

prepared for this reaction and hold the

saw firmly to maintain control.

CHAIN TENSION AND MAINTENANCE

CHAIN TENSION

Stop the engine before setting the chain tension. Make sure the guide

bar screw is loosened to finger tight, turn the tensioning wheel up or

down to tension the chain. A cold chain will be correctly tensioned

when there is no slack on the underside of the guide bar, the chain is

snug, but it can be turned by hand without binding.

Chain must be re-tensioned whenever the flats on the drive links hang

out of the bar groove.

During normal saw operation, the

temperature of the chain will

increase. The drive links of a

correctly tensioned warm chain will

hang approximately .050 in.

(1.25mm) out of the bar groove. Be

aware that chain tensioned while

warm, may be too tight upon

cooling. Check the “cold tension”

before next use.

NOTE: A new chain tends to stretch, check chain tension frequently

and tension as required.

CHAIN MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Disconnect from the power supply and make sure the

chain has stopped before you do any work on the saw.

For smooth and fast cutting, chain needs to be maintained properly.

The chain requires sharpening when the wood chips are small and

powdery, the chain must be forced through the wood during cutting,

or the chain cuts to one side. During maintenance of your chain

remember:

- Improper filing angle of the side plate can increase the risk of

severe kickback.

- Raker (depth gauge) clearance.

- Too low increases the potential for kickback.

- Not low enough decreases cutting ability.

- If cutter teeth have hit hard objects such as nails and stones, or

have been abraded by mud or sand on the wood, have service dealer

sharpen chain.

NOTE: Inspect the drive sprocket for wear or damage when replacing

the chain. If signs of wear or damage are present in the areas indicat-

ed, have the drive sprocket replaced by a qualified individual. Call our

customer service help line at 1-800-618-7474 for assistance.

HOW TO SHARPEN THE CUTTERS

Be careful to file all cutters to the

specified angles and to the same

length, as fast cutting can be

obtained only when all cutters are

uniform.

Wear gloves for protection.

Properly tension the chain prior to

sharpening. Refer to “Chain

Tension Section” earlier in this manual. Do all of your filing at the

midpoint of the bar.

Use a 5/32 in. diameter round file and holder.

Keep the file level with the top

plate of the tooth. Do not let the

file dip or rock. Using light but

firm pressure, stroke towards

the front corner of the tooth.

Lift file away from the steel on each return stroke.

Put a few firm strokes on

every tooth. File all left hand

cutters in one direction.

Then move to the other side

and file the right hand

cutters in the opposite

direction. Occasionally

remove filing from the file

with a wire brush.

WARNING: Improper chain sharpening increases the potential of kick-

back.

WARNING: Failure to replace or repair damaged chain can cause seri-

ous injury.

WARNING: The saw chain is very sharp, always wear protective gloves

when performing maintenance to the chain.

TOP PLATE FILING ANGLE

Correct 30 degrees – File holders

are marked with guide marks to

align file properly to produce top

plate angle.

Less than 30 degrees – for cross

cutting.

More than 30 degrees – feathered edge dulls quickly.

SIDE PLATE ANGLE

Correct – 80 degrees produced

automatically if correct diameter

file is used in file holder.

Hook – “Grabs” and dulls quickly. Increases potential of kickback.

Results from using a file with a diameter too small, or file held too low.

Backward Slope – Needs too much feed pressure, causes excessive

wear to bar and chain. Results from using a file with a diameter too

large, or file held too high.

DEPTH GAUGE CLEARANCE

The depth gauge should be main-

tained at a clearance of .025 in. (0.6

mm). Use a depth gauge tool for

checking the depth gauge clearances.

Every time the chain is filed, check the

depth gauge clearance

Use a flat file and a depth gauge

jointer to lower all gauges uniformly.

Depth gauge jointers are available

in .020 in. to .035 in. (0.5 mm to 0.9

mm). Use a .025 in. (0.6 mm) depth

gauge jointer. After lowering each

depth gauge, restore original shape

by rounding the front. Be careful not to

damage adjoining drive links with the

edge of the file.

Depth gauges must be adjusted with the flat file in the same direction

the adjoining cutter was filed with the round file. Use care not to contact

cutter face with flat file when adjusting depth gauges.

Approx. .050 (1.25mm)

Model CS34016S

MAINTENANCE

If you drop the chain saw, carefully inspect it for damage. If the

blade is bent, housing cracked, or handles broken or if you see

any other condition that may affect the saw’s operation, call our

customer service line at 1-800-618-7474 for assistance.

Make sure the unit is disconnected from the power supply, then

use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let

any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool

into a liquid.

IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,

repairs, maintenance and adjustment should be performed by a

qualified individual always using identical replacement parts.

CAUTION: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum

based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic

parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or

destroy plastic.

Ensure that the plastic bar cover is in place when storing.

Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which

greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals Do not store the tool on

or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals.

For smooth and fast cutting, chain needs to be maintained

properly. The chain requires sharpening when the wood chips are

small and powdery, the chain must be forced through the wood

during cutting, or the chain cuts to one side. Refer to instructions

earlier in this manual for instructions on properly sharpening the

chain.

parts or contact our customer service center at 1-800-618-7474

for assistance.

LUBRICATION SYSTEM

BEFORE USING : Fill oil well with new quality bar and chain oil, or

if unavailable, unused SAE 30 weight motor oil may be substituted.

The chain is automatically lubricated.

Use only new bar and chain oil or unused SAE 30 weight motor oil

may be substituted. Never use wasted oil, low quality oil, or insufficient

oil. This could damage the pump; the bar and the chain which may

result in serious personal injury. Check oil level before each work

session, refill if less than ¼ full.

If the lubrication system does not work properly, check if the oil filter and

all oil-ways are clean and free from obstructions. If it is still not working,

call our customer service line at 1-800-618-7474 for assistance.

GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE

When the guide bar shows signs of wear, reverse it on the saw to

distribute the wear for maximum bar life. The bar should be cleaned

every day of use and checked for wear and damage.

Feathering or burring of the bar rails is a normal process of bar wear.

Such faults should be smoothed with a file as soon as they occur.

A bar with any of the following faults should be replaced.

- Wear inside the bar rails which permits the chain to lay over sideways.

- Bent guide bar

- Cracked or broken rails

- Spread rails

In addition, guide bars with a sprocket at their tip must be lubricated

weekly with a grease syringe to extend the guide bar life. Using a

grease syringe, lubricate weekly in the lubricating hole.

Turn the guide bar and check that the lubrication holes and chain

groove are free from obstructions.

AVERTISSEMENTS RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ GÉNÉRALES RELATIVES AUX OUTILS ÉLECTRIQUES

AVERTISSEMENTS IMPORTANTS DE SÉCURITÉ

Modèle CS34016S

AVERTISSEMENT : Lire tous les avertissements et toutes les

instructions. Ne pas suivre l’ensemble des avertissements et des

instructions peut entraîner une électrocution, un incendie ou des

blessures graves.

Conserver les avertissements et les instructions à des fins de

référence ultérieure. Le terme « outil motorisé », utilisé dans tous les

avertissements ci-dessous désigne tout outil fonctionnant sur secteur

(câblé) ou sur piles (sans fil).

Sécurité du lieu de travail

• Garder le lieu de travail propre et bien éclairé. Les endroits

encombrés ou sombre s sont propices aux accidents.

• Ne pas utiliser d’outils électriques dans des atmosphères

explosives, par exemple en présence de liquides, gaz ou

poussières inflammables. Les outils électriques produisent des

étincelles risquant d’enflammer les poussières ou vapeurs.

• Garder les enfants et badauds à l’écart pendant l’utilisation

d’un outil électrique. Les distractions peuvent causer une perte

de contrôle.

Sécurité électrique

• Les fiches des outils électriques doivent correspondre à la

prise secteur utilisée. Ne jamais modifier la fiche, de quelque

façon que ce soit. Ne jamais utiliser d’adaptateurs de fiche

avec des outils mis à la terre. Les fiches et prises non

modifiées réduisent le risque de choc électrique.

• Éviter tout contact du corps avec des surfaces mises à la

terre, telles que tuyaux, radiateurs, cuisinières et

réfrigérateurs. Le risque de choc électrique est accru lorsque le

corps est mis à la terre.

• Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à l’eau ou l’humidité. La

pénétration d’eau dans ces outils accroît le risque de choc

électrique.

• Ne pas maltraiter le cordon d’alimentation. Ne jamais utiliser

le cordon d’alimentation pour transporter l’outil et ne jamais

débrancher ce dernier en tirant sur le cordon. Garder le

cordon à l’écart de la chaleur, de l’huile, des objets

tranchants et des pièces en mouvement. Un cordon

endommagé ou emmêlé accroît le risque de choc électrique.

• Pour les travaux à l’extérieur, utiliser un cordon

spécialement conçu à cet effet. Utiliser un cordon conçu pour

l’usage extrérieur pour réduire les risques de choc électrique.

• S’il est nécessaire d’utiliser l’outil électrique dans un endroit

humide, employer un dispositif interrupteur de défaut à la

terre (GFCI). L’utilisation d’un GFCI réduit le risque de décharge

électrique.

Sécurité personnelle

• Rester attentif, prêter attention au travail et faire preuve de

bon sens lors de l’utilisation de tout outil électrique. Ne

pas utiliser cet outil en état de fatigue ou sous l’influence

de l’alcool, de drogues ou de médicaments. Un moment

d’inattention pendant l’utilisation d’un outil électrique peut

entraîner des blessures graves.

• Utiliser l’équipement de sécurité. Toujours porter une

protection oculaire. L’équipement de sécurité, tel qu’un

masque filtrant, de chaussures de sécurité, d’un casque ou

d’une protection auditive, utilisé dans des conditions

appropriées réduira le risque de blessures.

• Éviter les démarrages accidentels. S’assurer que le

commutateur est en position d’arrêt avant de brancher

l’outil. Porter un outil avec le doigt sur son commutateur ou

brancher un outil dont le commutateur est en position de

marche peut causer un accident.

• Retirer les clés de réglage avant de mettre l’outil en

marche. Une clé laissée sur une pièce rotative de l’outil peut

causer des blessures.

• Ne pas travailler hors de portée. Toujours se tenir bien

campé et en équilibre. Ceci permettra de mieux contrôler

l’outil en cas de situation imprévue.

• Porter une tenue appropriée. Ne porter ni vêtements

amples, ni bijoux. Garder les cheveux, les vêtements et les

gants à l’écart des pièces en mouvement. Les vêtements

amples, bijoux et cheveux longs peuvent se prendre dans les

pièces en mouvement.

• Si les outils sont équipés de dispositifs de dépoussiérage,

s’assurer qu’ils sont connectés et correctement utilisés.

L’usage de ces dispositifs de dépoussiérage peut réduire les

dangers présentés par la poussière.

Utilisation et entretien des outils électriques

• Ne pas forcer l’outil. Utiliser l’outil approprié pour

l’application. Un outil approprié exécutera le travail mieux et

de façon moins dangereuse s’il est utilisé dans les limites pré-

vues.

• Ne pas utiliser l’outil si le commutateur ne permet pas de

le mettre en marche ou de l’arrêter. Tout outil qui ne peut

pas être contrôlé par son commutateur est dangereux et doit

être réparé.

AVERTISSEMENTS RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ GÉNÉRALES RELATIVES AUX OUTILS ÉLECTRIQUES

Modèle CS34016S

• Débrancher l’outil et/ou retirer le bloc-piles avant d’effectuer

des réglages, de changer d’accessoire ou de remiser l’outil.

Ces mesures de sécurité préventives réduisent les risques de

démarrage accidentel de l’outil.

• Ranger les outils motorisés hors de la portée des enfants et

ne laisser personne n’étant pas familiarisé avec l’outil ou ces

instructions utiliser l’outil. Dans les mains de personnes

n’ayant pas reçu des instructions adéquates, les outils sont

dangereux.

• Entretenir les outils motorisés. Vérifier qu’aucune pièce

mobile n’est mal alignée ou bloquée, qu’aucune pièce n’est

brisée et s’assurer qu’aucun autre problème ne risque

d’affecter le bon fonctionnement de l’outil. En cas de

dommages faire réparer l’outil avant de l’utiliser de nouveau.

Beaucoup d’accidents sont causés par des outils mal entretenus.

• Garder les outils bien affûtés et propres. Des outils

correctement entretenus et dont les tranchants sont bien affûtés

risquent moins de se bloquer et sont plus faciles à contrôler.

• Utiliser l’outil, les accessoires et embouts, etc.

conformément à ces instrutions pour les applications pour

lesquelles ils sont conçus, en tenant compte des

conditions et du type de travail à exécuter. L’usage d’un

outil motorisé pour des applications pour lesquelles il n’est pas

conçu peut être dangereux.

Dépannage

• Les réparat ions doivent être confiées à un technicien

qualifié, utilisant exclusivement des pièces identiques à

celles d’origine. Ceci assurera le maintien de la sécurité de

l’outil.

• Utiliser exclusivement des pièces identiques à celles

d’origine pour les réparations. Se conformer aux

instructions de la section Entretien de ce manuel. L’usage

de pièces non autorisées ou le non-respect des instructions

peut présenter des risques de choc électrique ou de blessures.

AVERTISSEMENTS DE SÉCURITÉ RELATIFS AU SCIE À CHAÎNE

• Éloigner toutes les parties du corps de la scie à chaîne

pendant que cette dernière fonctionne. Avant de démarrer la

scie à chaîne, s’assurer que la scie à chaîne n’est pas en

contact avec aucun objet. Un moment d’inattention pendant

l’utilisation de la scie à chaîne peut causer l’enchevêtrement des

vêtements ou toucher le corps.

• Toujours tenir la scie à chaîne en plaçant la main droite sur

la poignée arrière et la main gauche sur la poignée avant.

Tenir la scie à chaîne en inversant cette configuration des mains

augmente le risque de blessures et ne devrait jamais être faite.

• Tenir l’outil électrique seulement par les surfaces de prises

isolées, car la scie à chaîne peut toucher des câbles sous

tension. Le contact d’une scie à chaîne avec un fil sous tension

peut exposer les pièces métalliques de l’outil électrique et élec-

trocuter l’utilisateur.

• Porter des lunettes de sécurité et d’un serre-tête antibruit.

De plus, un équipement de protection pour la tête, les mains,

les jambes et les pieds est recommandé. Des vêtements de

protection adéquats réduiront le risque de blessures causées par

les objets projetés ou le contact accidentel avec la scie à chaîne.

• Ne jamais utiliser une scie à chaîne en se tenant perché

dans un arbre. L’utilisation d’une scie à chaîne en se tenant

perché dans un arbre peut causer des blessures.

• Toujours garder les pieds bien appuyés et faire

fonctionner la scie à chaîne seulement lorsque les pieds

sont sur une surface fixe, sécuritaire et à niveau. Les

surfaces glissantes ou instables, comme les échelles,

représentent un risque de déséquilibre et de perte de contrôle de

la scie à chaîne.

• Pendant la coupe d’une branche tendue, prendre garde au

rebond. Lorsque la tension des fibres du bois est relâchée, la

branche tendue peut frapper l’utilisation et/ou provoquer la

perte de contrôle de la scie à chaîne.

• Être très prudent lors de la coupe de buissons ou de

jeunes arbres. Les branches fines peuvent se coincer dans la

scie à chaînes et fouetter en direction de l’utilisateur et lui faire

perdre l’équilibre.

• Transporter la scie à chaîne par la poignée avant, avec

l’interrupteur positionné à OFF (éteint) et éloignée du

corps. Toujours installer le couvercle du guide-chaîne

pour transporter ou ranger la scie à chaîne. Une

manipulation adéquate de la scie à chaîne réduira le contact

accidentel habituel occasionné par le mouvement de la scie à

chaîne.

• Suivre les instructions de lubrification, de tension de

chaîne et de changement d’accessoires. Une tension ou

une lubrification inadéquate de la chaîne peut provoquer son

bris ou augmenter le risque de rebond.

• Garder les poignées sèches, propres et exemptes d’huile

ou de graisse. Les poignées graisseuses ou huileuses sont

glissantes et peuvent provoquer une perte de contrôle.

• Couper seulement du bois. Ne pas utiliser la scie à chaîne

pour des applications pour lesquelles elle n’est pas

conçue. Par exemple : ne pas utiliser la scie à chaîne pour

couper du plastique, de la maçonnerie ou des matériaux

de construction non dérivés du bois. L’utilisation de la scie

à chaîne pour des opérations autres que celles prévues

représente un risque de situation dangereuse.

DOUBLE ISOLATION – La double isolation est un concept de sécurité

des outils électriques, qui élimine le besoin d’un câble à trois

conducteurs avec terre. Toutes les pièces métalliques exposées sont

isolées des composants métalliques du moteur interne par une

isolation de protection. Il n’est pas nécessaire de raccorder les outils à

double isolation à la terre.

REMARQUE : le système à double isolation est conçu pour protéger

l’utilisateur d’une décharge électrique résultant d’une rupture dans

l’isolation interne de l’outil. Suivez toutes les consignes de sécurité

normales pour éviter une décharge électrique.

FICHES POLARISÉES – Afin de réduire le risque de décharge

électrique, cet équipement comporte une prise polarisée (une fiche

est plus large que l’autre). Cet équipement doit être utilisé avec une

rallonge adaptée polarisée à 2 ou 3 conducteurs. Les connexions

polarisées ne peuvent être effectuées que dans un sens. Assurez-vous

que la prise femelle de la rallonge comporte des emplacements pour

une fiche large et une fiche étroite. Si la prise ne s’adapte pas

entièrement dans la rallonge, inversez la prise. Si elle ne s’adapte

toujours pas, obtenez une rallonge appropriée. Si la rallonge ne

s’adapte pas entièrement dans la prise murale, contactez un électricien

qualifié pour installer la prise correcte. Ne changez en aucun cas la

prise de l’outil ou de la rallonge.

AVERTISSEMENT : utilisez des rallonges extérieures marquées

SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTW-A ou SJTOWA.

Ces câbles sont conçus pour une utilisation extérieure et réduisent

le risque de décharge électrique.

RALLONGE – Assurez-vous que la rallonge est en bon état. Lors de

l’utilisation d’une rallonge, assurez-vous qu’elle est d’un calibre

suffisant pour transmettre le courant appelé par le produit. Une rallonge

de calibre insuffisant provoquera une baisse de tension qui entraînera

une perte de puissance et une surchauffe. Le tableau suivant montre le

calibre correct à utiliser en fonction de la longueur du câble et de

l’intensité nominale de la plaque signalétique. En cas de doute, utilisez

le calibre immédiatement supérieur. Plus le numéro de calibre est bas,

plus le câble est lourd.

Il est possible de nouer la rallonge et le câble

d’alimentation afin de les empêcher de se

déconnecter pendant l’utilisation. Effectuez le

nœud comme montré, branchez ensuite la prise

du câble d’alimentation dans l’extrémité femelle

de la rallonge. Cette méthode peut également

être utilisée pour raccorder deux rallonges ensemble.

AVERTISSEMENT : Proposition 65 de la Californie: Ce produit

contient des agents chimiques connus dans l'État de la Californie

pour causer le cancer et des malformations congénitales ou autres

appareil reproducteur.

AVERTISSEMENT : l’État de Californie considère que certaines

poussières créées par ce produit contiennent des produits chimiques

qui sont cancérigènes et sont à l’origine de cancer, de malformations

congénitales et d’autres troubles de l’appareil reproducteur. Parmi

ces produits chimiques, citons :

-les composés d’engrais

-les composés d’insecticides, d’herbicides et de pesticides

-l’arsenic et le chrome du bois traité chimiquement.

Afin de réduire l’exposition à ces produits chimiques, portez un

équipement de sécurité homologué, comme un masque

anti-poussière spécialement conçu pour filtrer les particules

microscopiques.

AVERTISSEMENTS DE SÉCURITÉ RELATIFS AU SCIE À CHAÎNE

Causes du rebond et précautions à prendre:

Le rebond peut survenir lorsque le nez ou la pointe du guide-chaîne

touche un objet ou lorsque le bois se referme et se pince pendant la

coupe de la scie à chaîne.

Dans certains cas, le contact de la pointe avec un objet peut causer

une réaction inverse soudaine, projetant le guide-chaîne vers le haut et

l’arrière, en direction de l’opérateur.

Le pincement de la chaîne au haut du guide-chaîne peut causer une

projection rapide de la lame en arrière, en direction de l’utilisateur.

Chacune de ces deux réactions peut entraîner la perte de contrôle de

la scie et causer des blessures graves. Ne pas se fier

exclusivement aux dispositifs de sécurité intégrés à la scie. L’utilisateur

de la scie à chaîne doit prendre un certain nombre de précautions pour

éviter les accidents et les blessures.

Le rebond est causé par une utilisation et/ou des méthodes de travail

incorrectes et il peut être évité en prenant les précautions suivantes :

• Conserver une prise ferme en plaçant les pouces et les

doigts autour des poignées de la scie à chaîne, en gardant

les deux mains sur la scie et en positionnant le corps et le

bras de manière à résister à la force du rebond. S’il prend les

précautions nécessaires, l’utilisateur peut contrôler la force du

rebond. Ne pas échapper la scie à chaîne.

• Ne pas étirer le corps et ne pas faire de coupe au-dessus

des épaules. Ceci aidera à prévenir le contact involontaire de la

pointe et procurera un meilleur contrôle de la scie à chaîne lors

de situations inattendues.

• Utiliser seulement les guide-chaîne et les chaînes de

rechange mentionnées par le fabricant. Le remplacement des

guide-chaîne et de chaînes inadéquates peut provoquer le bris

et le rebond de la chaîne.

• Suivre les instructions d’affûtage et d’entretien fournies par

le fabricant de la scie à chaîne. La diminution du limiteur de

profondeur augmente le risque de rebond.
