SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHAIN SAW

◾

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 that 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 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

conguration increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done.

56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW — CS1800/CS1800-FC10

◾

Hold the chain saw by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw

chain may contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a “live” wire may

make exposed metal parts of the chain saw“live” and could give the operator an

electric shock.

◾

Wear eye protection. Further protective equipment for hearing, head,

hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective equipment will

reduce personal injury from ying debris or accidental contact with the saw

chain.

◾

Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder, from a rooftop, or

any unstable support. Operation of a chain saw in this manner could result in

serious personal injury.

◾

Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when

standing on xed, 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 bers 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 t 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 the

bar and chain. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or

increase the chance for kickback.

◾

Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not intended. For

example: do not use chain saw for cutting metal, plastic, masonry or

non-wood building materials. Use of the chain saw for operations different

than intended could result in a hazardous situation.

◾

Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have an understanding of the

risks and how to avoid them. Serious injury could occur to the operator or

bystanders while felling a tree.

56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW — CS1800/CS1800-FC 11

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 chain saw misuse and/or incorrect operating

procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as

given below:

◾

Maintain a rm grip, with thumbs and ngers 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 enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected

situations.

◾

Only use replacement guide bars and saw chains specied by the

manufacturer. Incorrect replacement guide bars and saw 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.

56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW — CS1800/CS1800-FC12

KICKBACK SAFETY DEVICES ON THIS CHAIN 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. The chain brake can be activated by

the forward motion of the chain-kickback brake handle as the saw rotates backward

during kickback; it can also be activated by the inertial forces generated during rapid

pushback.

WARNING

:

Never modify or attempt to disable the chain brake.

Make sure that the chain brake is working properly before using the chain saw. The

chain-kickback brake handle should move back and forth easily.

To test the operation of the chain brake,

perform the following steps (Fig. 1):

◾

Place the chain saw on a at bare

surface and make sure no objects

or obstructions that could come in

contact with the bar and chain are in

the immediate vicinity.

◾

Disengage the chain brake by

pulling the chain-kickback brake

handle towards the front handle.

◾

Start the chain saw.

◾

Push the chain-kickback brake handle towards the front of the saw. A properly

functioning hand brake will stop the movement of the chain immediately. If the

chain brake is not working properly, do not use the chain saw until it has been

repaired by a qualied service technician.

WARNING

:

Conrm that the chain brake works properly before each use.

WARNING

:

If the chain brake is clogged with wood chips, the function of the

chain brake may deteriorate. Always keep the device clean.

56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW — CS1800/CS1800-FC 13

Low Kickback Saw Chain

The ramp-shaped depth gauges ahead of each cutter can minimize the force of a

kickback reaction by preventing the cutters from digging in too deeply at the kickback

zone. Only use a replacement chain that is equivalent to the original chain or has been

certied as a low kickback chain per ANSI B175.1. A low kickback tooth saw chain is a

chain that has met the kickback performance requirements of ANSI B175.1 (American

National Standard for Power Tools-Gasoline-Powered Chain Saws-Safety Requirements)

when tested on the representative sample of chain saws below 3.8 c.i.d. specied in

ANSI B175.1.

The bumper drive link (Fig. 2) also helps

deliver low-kickback performance.

CAUTION:

As saw chains are

sharpened during their useful life, they

lose some of the low kickback qualities

and extra caution should be used.

GUIDE 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 guide bar, be sure to order the bar listed in this manual.

56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW — CS1800/CS1800-FC14

ADDITIONAL WARNINGS

◾

With a basic understanding of

kickback (Fig. 3-5), you can

reduce or eliminate the element

of surprise. Sudden surprise

contributes to accidents.

◾

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.

◾

Inspect the work piece for nails,

wire, or other foreign objects

prior to cutting.

◾

Plan the work, ensuring an

obstacle-free work area and, in

the case of felling, at least one

escape path from the falling

tree.

◾

When felling, keep bystanders

at least two tree lengths away.

◾

Keep proper footing and balance

at all times.

◾

A chain saw is intended for two

handed use. Serious injury to the

operator, helpers, and/or bystanders

can result from one-handed

operation (Fig. 6).

◾

Always cut with the unit running

at full speed. Fully squeeze the

switch trigger and maintain cutting

speed.

◾

Push and Pull – The 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 the PUSH when cutting

along the top edge (Fig. 7).

◾

Avoid unintentional contact

with the stationary saw chain or

guide bar rails. These can be very

sharp. Always wear gloves and long

pants or chaps when handling the

chain saw, saw chain, or guide bar.

◾

Never operate a chain saw

that is damaged or improperly

adjusted or that is not

completely and securely

assembled. Be sure that the saw

chain stops moving when the trigger

switch is released.

◾

When bucking, secure the work piece prior to cutting. When felling or

pruning, identify and secure hazardous branches.

◾

Aggressive or abusive cutting or misuse of the chain saw can cause

premature bar, chain, and/or sprocket wear, as well as a broken chain or

bar, leading to kickback, chain throw or the ejection of material.
