eas invite injuries.

2. Do not use near power lines. Keep

at least 10 feet away from electrical

lines.

3. If two or more persons perform buck-

ing and telling operations at the same

time, provide plenty of distance be-

tween operations. Provide distance of

at least twice the height of tree being

felled.

4. Secure wood you are cutting by using

clamps or chocks.

Keep Children, Bystanders, and

Animals Away

1. Only saw user should be in work

area. Keep bystanders 50 feet (15m)

away when operating saw.

2. Do not let visitors contact chain saw.

Use Right Tool

I. Do not use the polesaw to cut down

trees. Use the chain saw without

_IL WARNING: This product con-

tains chemicals known to the State

of California to cause cancer or

birth defects, or other reproduc-

tive harm.

4BkWARNING: Some dust created

by power sanding, sawing, grind-

ing, drilling, and other construc-

tion activities contains chemicals

known (to the state of California)

to cause cancer, birth defects, or

other reproductive harm. Some

examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based

paints

• crystalline silica from

bricks and cement and

other masonry products

• arsenic and chromium

from chemically-treated

lumber

Your risk from these exposures

varies, depending on how often

you do this type ofwork. To reduce

your exposure to these chemicals:

work in a well ventilated area, and

work with approved safety equip=

merit, such as those dust masks

that are specially designed to finer

out microscopic particles.

KICKBACK

WARNING: Kickback may occur

when the nose or tip of the guide

bar touches an object, or when the

wood closes inand pinches the saw

chain inthe cut.Tip contact insome

cases may cause a lightning fast re-

versereaction, kickingthe 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 causeyou to losecontrol ofthe

saw which could result in serious

injury to user.

Kickback Safety Devices On This

Saw

This saw has a low-kickback chain and re-

duced kickback guide bar. Both items reduce

the chance of kickback. Low-kickback saw

chain is a chain which met the kickback

performance requirements of ANSI B 175.1.

Kickback can still occur with this saw.

Followassembly instructions onpage 11.Do

notremove front hand guard. Do notreplace

front hand guard with substitute.

The following steps will reduce the risk of

kickback.

, Use both hands to grip saw while saw

is running:

For chain saw, use both hands to grip

saw while saw is running. Use firm

grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap

around saw handles.

For polesaw, use one hand to grip

the handle and the other hand to grip

the pole. Use firm grip. Thumbs and

fingers must wrap around pole and

handle.

, Keep all safety items in place on saw.

Make sure they work properly.

, Chain saw - do not overreach or cut

above shoulder height.

, Polesaw - do not overreach or extend

arms above shoulder height.

, Keep solid footing and balance at all

times.

, Stand slightly to left side of saw. This

keeps your body from being in direct

line with chain.

, Do not let guide bar nose touch any-

thing when chain is moving (see Figure

1).

, Never try cutting through two logs

at same time. Only cut one log at a

time.

, Do not bury guide bar nose or try

plunge cut (boring into wood using

guide bar nose).

, Watch for shifting of wood or other

forces that may pinch chain.

, Use extreme caution when reentering a

previous cut.

, Use low-kickback chain and guide bar

supplied with this chain saw. Only re-

place these parts with chains and guide

bars listed in this manual.

, Never use dull or loose chain. Keep

chain sharp with proper tension.

Saw Maintenance and Kickback

Safety

Follow maintenance instructions in this

manual. Proper cleaning ofsaw and chain and

guide bar maintenance can reduce chances

of kickback. Inspect and maintain saw af-

ter each use. This will increase the service

life of your saw. Note: Even with proper

sharpening, risk of kickback can increase

with each sharpening.

SAFETY WARNINGS

1. This manual contains important safe-

ty and operating instructions.

2. Before using battery charger, read all

instructions and cautionary markings

on battery charger, battery pack, and

product using battery pack.

_, CAUTION: To reduce the risk

of injury, charge only Remington

brand batteries. Other types of bat=

teries may burst causing personal

injury and damage.

3. Do not expose charger to rain or

snow,

4. Use of an attachment not recommended

or sold by Remington brand may result

in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury

to persons.

5. To reduce risk of damage to electric-

plug and cord, pull by plug rather than

cord when disconnecting charger.

6. An extension cord should not be used

unless absolutely necessary. Use of

improper extension cord could re-

sult in a risk of fire, electric shock or

electrocution.

a. Two-wire cords can be used with

2-wire or 3-wire extension cords.

Only round jacketed extension cords

should be used, and we recommend

that they be listed by Underwriters

Laboratories (U.L.). If the extension

is to be used outside, the cord must

be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord

marked fk_routdoor use can also be

used fk_r indoor work. The letters

"W" or "WA" on the cord jacket

indicate that the cord is suitable fk_r

outdoor use.

b. An extension cord must have ad-

equate wire size (AWG or American

Wire Gauge) fk_rsafety, and to pre-

vent loss of power and overheating.

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. When using

more than one extension to make up

the total length, be sure each exten-

sion contains at least the minimum

wire size.

DO NOT incinerate the battery pack

even if they are severely damaged or

completely worn out. The batteries can

explode in a fire.

A small leakage of liquid from the

battery pack cells may occur under

extreme usage, charging, or tempera-

ture conditions. This does not indicate

a failure. However, if the outer seal is

broken and this leakage gets on your

skin:

• Wash quickly with soap and water.

• Neutralize with a mild acid such as

lemon juice or vinegar.

• If the battery liquid gets in your eyes,

flush them with clean water for a

minimum of 10 minutes and seek

immediate medical attention.

MEDICAL NOTE: The liquid is a

25-35% solution of potassium

hydroxide.

RECHARGEABLE BATTERY

CHARGING BATTERY

The battery pack is not fully

charged at the factory. Before

attempting to charge the battery

pack, thoroughly read all Safety

instructions.

The charger is designed to use standard

household 120 volt 60 Hz power.

1. Plug cord from charger into charger

base. (See Figure 2)

Figure 2 - Plug Charger into Base

Plug the charger into any standard

120 Volt 60 Hz electrical outlet.

IMPORTANT: Do not charge by means

of an engine generator or DC power

source. Use only 120V AC.

Slide the charger onto the battery pack

as shown in Figure 3. The LED will

light up, Let the battery pack charge

until red LED turns off. At'ter the ini-

tial charge, under normal usage, your

battery pack should be fully charged in

3 to 9 hours.

4. Unplug charger. Remove the charger

by sliding off (See Figure 4).

5. Place the battery pack in the tool and be

certain that it is inserted tully into the

tool cavity until it "clicks" into place.

Figure 4 - Remove Charger

iMPORTANT CHARGING

NOTES

1. After normal usage, your battery

pack should be tully charged in 3 to 9

hours. If the battery pack is run-down

completely, it may take up to 9 hours

to become tully charged. Your battery

pack was sent from the factory in an

uncharged condition. For best perfor-

mance charge battery until red LED

turns off. Allow the battery to cool

down 30 minutes before charging after

using the saw. NOTE: A hot battery

placed in the charger will not charge.

2. DO NOT charge the battery pack in an

air temperature below 40°F (4,5 °C) or

above 105°F (40,5 °C). This is impor-

tant and will prevent serious damage to

the battery pack. Longest life and best

performance can be obtained if battery

pack is charged when air temperature

is about 75°F (24°C).

3. While charging, the charger may hum

and become warm to touch. This is a

normal condition and does not indicate

a problem.

4. If the battery pack does not charge

properly

• Check current at receptacle by plugging

in a lamp or other appliance.

• Check to see if receptacle is connected

to a light switch which turns power off

when you turn out the lights.

• Move charger and battery pack to a

surrounding air temperature of 40°F

(4,5°C) to 105°F (40,5 °C)

° If the receptacle and temperature are

OK, and you do not get proper charg-

ing, call the Customer Selwice

Department.

5. The battery pack should be recharged

when it fails to produce sufficient

power on jobs which were easily done

previously. DO NOT CONTINUE us-

ing product with its battery pack in a

depleted condition.

6. To prolong battery life, avoid leaving

the battery pack on charger for ex-

tended periods of time (over 30 days

without use). Although overcharging is

not a safety concern, it can significantly

reduce overall battery life.

7. The battery pack will reach optimum

performance after being cycled 5 times

during normal usage. There is no need

to run the batteries down completely

before recharging. Normal usage is

the best method of discharging and

recharging the batteries.

could occur from body contact with

moving chain.

_k WARNING: Cutting edges on

chain are sharp. Use protective

gloves when handling chain.

WARNING: Maintain proper

chain tension always.AIoosechain

will increase the risk of kickback. A

loose chain may jump out of guide

bar groove. This may injure op-

erator and damage chain. A loose

chain will cause chain, guide bar,

and sprocket to wear rapidly.

Note: The saw chain tension is properly set at

the factory. A new chain will stretch. Check

new chain tension frequently (after discon-

necting battery) during the first 2 hours of

operation. Allow chain to cool down. Follow

steps below to check saw chain tension.

1. Remove battery from chain saw.

2. Place chain saw on a firm surface to

check chain tension.

Figure 8 - Check Chain Tension

Saw Chain Tension Adjustment

1. Loosen guide bar nuts before adjust-

ing chain (see Figure 9).

CHAIN SAW INFORMATION

4. Do not over-tension chain. Over-ten-

sioning will cause excessive wear and

will reduce the life of the guide bar

and chain. Over-tensioning also re-

duces the amount of cuts per battery

charge.

5. After chain tension is correct, tighten

guide bar nuts firmly (see Figure 11).

OILING CHAIN

IMPORTANT" Applying oil to the chain and

guide bar reduces friction and excessive

wear. Improper oiling will cause excessive

wear and reduce the life of the chain and

guide bar.

1. Fill included squeeze bottle with

SAE #30 or #40 motor oil or bar

chain oil.

2. Apply several drops of oil between

chain and guide bar (see Figure 12.

Note: Oil should be applied before each

use and every 5 minutes during continu-

ous use.

CUTTING WITH THE CHAIN SAW

I. Attach battery to saw.

2. Make sure section of log to be cut is

not laying on ground. This will keep

chain from touching ground as it cuts

through log. Touching ground with

moving chain will dull chain.

3. Use both hands to grip saw. Always use

left hand to grip front handle and right

hand to grip rear handle. Use firm grip.

Thumbs and fingers must wrap around

saw handles (see Figure 13).

4. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep

feet apart. Divide your weight evenly

on both feet.

Trigger /

Figure 13 - Trigger Lockout and Trig-

ger Location

5. When ready to make a cut, press in

trigger lockout with right thmnb and

squeeze trigger (see Figure 13). This

will turn saw on. Releasing trigger

will turn saw off. Always turn saw on

before contacting saw chain with log.

6. When starting a cut, place moving

chain against wood. Hold saw firmly

in place to avoid possible bouncing or

skating (sideways movement) of saw.

7. Guide saw using light pressure. Do not

force saw. The motor will overload and

can burn out. It will do the job better

and safer at the rate for which it was

intended.

8. Remove saw from a cut with saw run-

ning. Stop saw by releasing trigger.

Make sure chain has stopped before

setting saw down.

9. Practice until you can maintain a

steady, even cutting rate.

FELLING A TREE (Cutting

Down a Tree)

_1=WARNING:

• Avoid kickback. Kickback

can result in severe injury or

death. See Kickback, page 5,

to avoid risk of kickback.

• Do not fell a tree without

ample skill or expert help.

• Keep children, animals, and

bystanders away from area

when felling a tree.

• If two or more persons

perform bucking and felling

operations at the same time,

provide ample distance

between operations. Provide

distance of at least twice the

height of tree being felled.

_IL WARNING: When felling atree,

be aware ofyour surroundings. Do

not endanger any person, strike

utility lines, or cause property

damage. Iftree strikes utility lines,

contact utility company at once.

Felling is the process of cutting down a tree.

Make sure your ti)oting is firm. Keep feet

apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet.

Follow directions below to tell a tree.

Before Felling a Tree

1. Beti)re telling, inspect tree. Make sure

there are no dead limbs or branches that

may fall on you. Study natural lean of

tree, location of larger branches, and

wind direction. This will help you

judge which way tree will fall.

2. Clear work area around tree.

3. Plan and clear a retreat path before

telling. Make retreat path opposite to

planned direction of fall of tree and at

45 ° angle (see Figure 14).

4. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails,

staples, and wire from tree where you

will make telling cuts.

5. Stay on uphill side when telling tree.

Tree could roll or slide downhill after

falling.

Felling Procedure

A) Felling Notch

A properly placed felling notch will deter-

mine direction tree will fall. Place felling

notch on side of tree in direction you want

tree to fall (see Figure 15).

Follow directions below to create a felling

notch.

1. Make lower notch cut as close to

ground as possible. Hold saw so guide

bar is horizontal. Cut 1/3 the diameter

of tree trunk (see Figure 15). Note:

Always make this horizontal lower

notch cut first. If you make this cut

second, tree can pinch chain or guide

bar.

2. Start upper notch cut the same distance

above first cut as first cut is deep.

Example: If lower notch cut is eight

inches deep, start upper notch cut eight

inches above it. Cut downward at 45°

angle. The upper notch cut should meet

end of lower notch cut (see Figure

15).

3. Remove tree trunk wedge created by

notching cuts,

Figure 15 - Felling A Tree

B) Felling Cut

1. Make felling cut two inches higher than

lower notch cut and on opposite side of

tree (see Figure 15). Keep telling cut

parallel to lower notch cut.

2. Cut towards notch.

3. As felling cut nears hinge, tree should be-

gin to fall. Note: If needed, drive wedges

into felling cut to control direction of fall.

If tree settles back and pinches chain,

drive wedges into felling cut to remove

saw. Only use wedges made of wood,

plastic, or aluminum. Never use wedge

made of steel. This could cause kickback

and damage to chain.

4. When tree begins to fall, quickly

• remove saw from telling cut

• release trigger to turn saw off

• put saw down

• exit area using retreat path

WARNING: Do not cut all the

way through tree. Leave about

two inches of tree diameter uncut

directly behind felling notch (see

Figure 15). This uncut portion acts

as a hinge. The hinge helps keep

tree from twisting and falling in

wrong direction.

_, WARNING: Be alert for failing

overhead limbs. Watch your footing

while exiting area.

LIMBING ATREE

WARNING: Avoid kickback.

Kickback can result in severe injury

or death. See Kickbackto avoid risk

of kickback.

_IL WARNING: When cutting limb

that is under tension, use extreme

caution. Be alert for wood spring-

ing back. When wood tension is

released, limb could spring back

and strike operator causing severe

injury or death.

Limbing is removing branches from a fallen

tree. Make sure your fk)oting is firm. Keep

feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both

feet. Do not remove larger limbs under tree

that support log off ground. Remove each

limb with one cut (see Figure 16). Clear cut

limbs from work area often. This will help

maintain a sate work area.

Make sure you start your cut where limb

will not pinch saw during cutting. To avoid

pinching, start cut on freely hanging limbs

from above limb. Start cut on limbs under

tension from under limb. If pinch occurs, turn

saw off, lift limb, and remove saw.

risk of kickback.

WARNING:

• If on slope, make sure log

will not roll down hill. Secure

log by using wooden stakes.

Drive wooden stakes into

ground on downhill side of

log. Stand on uphill side of

log while cutting. Log may

roll after cutting.

• Never try cutting through

two logs at same time. This

could increase the risk of

kickback.

• Whilecutting log, never hold

log with your hand, leg, or

foot.

• While cutting log, never

allow another person to hold

log.

• Turn off and unplug saw

before moving from one

place to another.

/ J

Normal Guide

Bar

Uneven bar wear causes most guide bar prob-

lems. Incorrect sharpening of chain cutter

and depth gauge settings often cause this.

When bar wears unevenly, it widens guide

bar groove (see Figure 30). This causes chain

clatter and rivet popping. Saw will not cut

straight. Replace guide bar if this occurs.

Inspect guide bar before sharpening chain.

A worn or damaged guide bar is unsafe. A

worn or damaged guide bar will damage

chain. It will also make cutting harder.

_I, WARNING: Remove battery

from chain saw before servicing.

Severe injury or death could oc-

cur from body contact with mov=

ing chain.

WARNING: Cutting edges on

chain are sharp. Use protective

gloves when handling chain.

Keep chain sharp. Your saw will cut faster

and more safely. A dull chain will cause

undue sprocket, guide bar, chain, and motor

wear. If yon must force chain into wood and

cutting creates only sawdust with few large

chips, chain is dull.
