SAFETY RULES

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL SAFETY WARNINGS

AND ALL 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 the chain saw 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 the chain saw.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

• Identify and avoid gas lines,

electrical hazards, tripping hazards,

and potential sources of body

entanglement.

• Establish a safe zone for helpers. Helpers

should never stand directly in front of or

behind the operator. Helpers should always

stand to the side or perpendicular to the

direction of the cut.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Charger plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way. Do

not use any adapter plugs with earthed

(grounded) charger. Unmodified plugs

and matching outlets will reduce the 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.

• Accidental splashing of water against

the chain saw from any direction will

present no harmful shock or hazard to

the operator.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use

the cord for carrying, pulling or

unplugging the charger. Keep cord

away from heat, oil, sharp edges or

moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords

increase the risk of electric shock.

• While operating the charger outdoors,

use an extension cord suitable for

outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for

outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

5

OREGON® CORDLESS TOOL SYSTEM

CHAIN SAW MODEL CS250 SAFETY RULES

AF 0513  F/N 547361

• If operating a power tool in a damp

location is unavoidable, use a residual

current device (RCD) protected supply

or ground fault circuit interrupter

(GFCI). Use of a RCD (GFCI) reduces the risk of

electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are

doing and use common sense when

operating the chain saw. Do not use

the chain saw while you are tired or

under the influence of drugs, alcohol or

medication. A moment of inattention while

operating chain saw may result in serious

personal injury.

• 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.

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench

before turning the chain saw on. A

wrench or key left attached to a rotating part

of the chain saw may result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times (Fig. ). This

enables better control of the chain saw 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.

• Use two hands when operating the

chain saw.

• The work piece, bar, and chain can be

hot after cutting. Wear gloves to avoid

burns.

• Use proper auxiliary equipment

and ensure that it is not damaged,

of adequate strength, and securely

placed. Use auxiliary equipment only for the

purpose for which it is intended.

• Prolonged use of power tools has been

reported to cause vascular, muscular,

or neurological disorders (such as

vibration white finger or Raynaud’s

syndrome). To reduce the risk of injury,

follow these instructions:

– Wear gloves and keep hands and body

warm.

– Maintain a firm grip on the hedge

trimmer, but do not use prolonged,

excessive pressure.

– Take frequent breaks.

The vibration in normal use can differ

from the stated values depending on the

material being cut, maintenance of the

cutting system, and other factors.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

• Do not force the chain saw. Use the

correct chain saw for your application.

The correct chain saw will do the job better

and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

• Do not use the chain saw 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.

• 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.

FIG. 1

OREGON® CORDLESS TOOL SYSTEM

CHAIN SAW MODEL CS250

SAFETY RULES

AF 0513  F/N 547361

• Disconnect the battery pack from

the chain saw before making any

adjustments, changing accessories, or

storing the chain saw. Such preventative

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the

chain saw accidently.

• Store idle chain saws out of the reach

of children and do not allow persons

unfamiliar with the chain saw or these

instructions to operate the chain saw.

Chain saws are dangerous in the hands of

untrained users.

• Maintain the chain saw. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts and any other

condition that may affect the chain

saw’s operation. If damaged, have the

chain saw 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 chain saw, 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 chain saw for

operations different from those intended

could result in a hazardous situation.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

• Recharge only with the charger

specified by OREGON®. A charger that

is suitable for one type of battery pack may

create a risk of fire when used with another

battery pack.

• Use the chain saw only with specifically

designated battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may create risk

of injury and fire.

• 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 terminal

may cause burns or a fire.

• 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 medical help. Liquid ejected from the

battery may cause irritation or burns.

• Do not disassemble the chain saw,

charger, or battery pack or attempt to

repair these products. Doing so could

result in electrical shock.

SERVICE

Have your chain saw serviced by a

qualified repair person using only

identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the

chain saw is maintained.

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 (Fig. ).

Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand

configuration increases the risk of personal

injury and should never be done.

• 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 a fixed, secure and level

surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces 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 (Fig. ).

Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce

the likelihood of accidental contact with the

moving saw chain.

FIG. 2

FIG. 3

OREGON® CORDLESS TOOL SYSTEM

CHAIN SAW MODEL CS250

SAFETY RULES

AF 0513  F/N 547361

• Follow instructions for lubricating,

chain tensioning and changing

accessories. Improperly tensioned or

lubricated chain may either break or increase

the chance of kickback.

• Keep handles dry, clean, and free of oil

and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery

causing loss of control.

• Cut wood only. Do not use the 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.

• It is recommended that the first

time user should have practical

instruction in the use of the chain saw

and the protective equipment from

an experienced operator. The initial

practice should be cutting logs on a

saw-horse or cradle.

• Other than the wear parts identified in

this manual, the chain saw has no user

serviceable parts.

KICKBACK  CAUSES AND

OPERATOR PREVENTION

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:

• 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. 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 enables better

control of the chain saw in unexpected

situations.

• Only use replacement bars and

chains specified by OREGON®.

Incorrect replacement bars and chains may

cause chain breakage and/or kickback.

• Follow the OREGON® sharpening and

maintenance instructions for the saw

chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height

can lead to increased kickback.

KICKBACK SAFETY DEVICES

ON THIS SAW

CHAIN BRAKE

The chain saw comes equipped with a

chain brake, which stops both the motor

and the motion of the chain when

kickback occurs (Fig. ). The chain brake

can be activated by the forward motion

of the hand guard as the saw rotates

backward during kickback; it can also be

activated by the inertial forces generated

during rapid pushback.

DANGER: NEVER MODIFY OR

ATTEMPT TO DISABLE THE CHAIN

BRAKE.

CHAIN

This saw comes equipped with a saw

chain that met the reduced kickback

requirements of ANSI B. when tested

on a representative sample of chain saws.

For replacement chain, see “Specifications

and Components” in this manual.

BAR

This saw comes equipped with a guide

bar that has a small radius nose. Small

radius noses generally have less potential

for kickback.

When replacing the bar, be sure to order

the bar listed in this manual.

and guides the saw chain.

Kickback: The backward or upward

motion, or both, of the guide bar

occurring when the saw chain near the

nose of the top area of the guide bar

contacts any object such as a log or

branch, or when the wood closes in and

pinches the saw chain in the cut.

ASSEMBLY

UNPACKING

DANGER: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO

OPERATE THE CHAIN SAW IF ANY

PART IS DAMAGED OR MISSING.

Some chain saw kits come completely

assembled. If the chain saw has been

packaged without the saw chain and

guide bar installed, see “Replacing the Bar

and Chain” in this manual for installation

instructions. After removing the chain

saw from its box, inspect it carefully to

make sure no damage has occurred

during shipping.

Inspect the chain saw for missing parts.

If any parts are damaged or missing,

contact OREGON® to obtain replacement

parts at ...

IMPORTANT: AFTER UNPACKING THE

CHAIN SAW, CHECK THE POSITION OF

THE HAND GUARD. THE CHAIN SAW

WILL NOT RUN WITH THE CHAIN BRAKE

ENGAGED. PULL THE HAND GUARD

BACK TOWARDS THE FRONT HANDLE

BEFORE OPERATION (FIG. ).

INSTALLING BUCKING SPIKES

Some chain saw kits come with metal

bucking spikes as an accessory. To install

the spikes, position on the front of the

saw with the spikes facing upward, then

fasten with the two supplied screws.

FILLING OIL RESERVOIR

CAUTION: CHECK OIL LEVEL

FREQUENTLY AND FILL AS NEEDED.

NEVER OPERATE THE CHAIN SAW IF

OIL IS NOT VISIBLE.

Bar and chain oil is required to properly

lubricate the bar and chain. Use

OREGON® bar and chain oil for best

results. It is specially designed to provide

low friction and faster cuts. NEVER use

oil or other lubricants not specifically

designed for use on the bar and chain.

This can lead to a clogged oil system,

which may cause premature wear of the

bar and chain.

Place the chain saw on its side on a firm,

flat surface, so that the oil cap is on top

(Fig. ). After cleaning any debris from the

cap area, remove the cap and carefully

pour the bar and chain oil into the

reservoir. Replace the cap and check the

presence of oil through the oil inspection

window. Additional bar and chain oil is

necessary shortly after oil is no longer

viewable through the oil inspection

window.
