(3) HOLDING AND CONTROLLING THE
PRUNING SAW (See Fig. I)
Hold and control the pruning saw with one hand on
the Grip Area – wrap your thumb around the Grip
Area.
2. SWITCHING ON AND OFF (See Fig. J)
ATTENTION: Check the battery pack before
using your cordless tool. Only use the battery
pack listed in the accessories section.
For switching on the tool, press the Lock-Out
Button, then fully press the On/Off Switch and hold
in this position. The Lock-Out Button can now be
released.
For switching off, release the On/Off Switch.
3. CUTTING
IMPORTANT: Check recent replaced chain
tension about every 10 minutes during
operation.
(1) Installing the battery pack into the machine.
(2) Make sure section of log to be cut is not laying
on the ground. This will keep the chain from
touching the ground as it cuts through the log.

Touching the ground while the Chain is moving
is dangerous and will dull the Chain.

(3) When ready to make a cut, push the Lock-
Out Button completely in with the right thumb
and squeeze the trigger. This will turn saw on.
Releasing the trigger will turn the saw off. Make
sure the saw is running at full speed before
starting a cut.
(4) When starting a cut, slowly place moving chain
against the wood. The wood should be as close
to the saw body as possible. Hold saw firmly
in place to avoid possible bouncing or skating
(sideways movement) of saw.
(5) Guide the saw using light pressure and do not
put excessive force on the saw, letting the saw
do its work. The motor will overload and can
burn out. It will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was intended.
(6) Remove the saw from a cut with the saw running
at full speed. Stop the saw by releasing the On/
off Switch. Make sure the chain has stopped
before setting the saw down.
(7) Keep practicing on scrap logs in a secure
working area until you are comfortable, using a
fluid motion and a steady cutting rate.
KICKBACK SAFETY DEVICES ON THIS
SAW
This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced
kickback Guide Bar. Both items reduce the chance
of kickback. However, kickback can still occur with
this saw.
The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.
• Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make sure
they work properly.
• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
• Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
• Stand slightly to the left side of saw. This keeps
your body from being in direct line with chain.
• Do not let Guide Bar nose touch anything when
chain is moving.
• Never try cutting through two logs at same time.
Only cut one log at a time.
• Do not bury the 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 only the low-kickback chain and Guide
Bar that were supplied with this pruning saw or
recommended.
• Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain
sharp with proper tension.
HOW TO USE SAW SAFELY
1. Use the pruning saw only with secure footing.
2. Hold the pruning saw at the right-hand side of
your body (See Fig. K).
3. The Chain must be running at full speed before
it makes contact with the wood.
4. Use the Base Plate to secure the saw onto the
wood before starting to cut.
5. Use the Base Plate as a leverage point while
cutting. (See Fig. L)
6. Do not operate the saw with arms fully
extended, attempt to saw areas which are
difficult to reach, or stand on a ladder while
sawing. (See Fig. M)
Never use the pruning saw above shoulder
height.
CUTTING WOOD UNDER TENSION (SEE
FIG. N)
WARNING: When cutting a limb that is under
tension, use extreme caution. Be alert for
wood springing back. When wood tension is
released, limb could spring back and strike
operator causing severe injury or death.
When sawing logs supported on both ends, start
the cut from above(Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into
the log (overbuck) and then finish the cut (Z) from
below, in order to avoid contact of the pruning saw
with the ground. When sawing logs supported on
only one end, start the cut from below (Y) about 1/3
of the diameter into the log (underbuck) and finish
the cut from above (Z) in order to avoid log splitting
or jamming of the pruning saw.
CLEAN RESIDUAL OIL AFTER OPERATION
Lift the Chain Guard to the maximum position for 3
to 5 times. (See Fig.F2)
NOTE: The Oil Outlet cannot be faced towards
people. The Chain and Guide bar should be
faced down.
