WARNING
• Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction
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, cement, and other masonry products.
–Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
• Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
–Work in a well-ventilated area.
–Work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to
lter out microscopic particles.
–Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap
and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes or to lie on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re 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
ammable 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. Unmodied 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 inuence 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 a 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 nger on the switch or energising 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.
4
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if
detachable, 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 and accessories. 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.
Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and re.
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 terminals together may cause burns or a
re.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool 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 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.
5
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 conguration 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. 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 ying 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 xed,
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 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 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
and cause 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.
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:
• 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.
6
• Only use replacement bars and chains specied 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.
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.
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 qualied service technician.
WARNING Conrm 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.
Low Kickback Saw Chain
The rakers (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 certied 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. specied in ANSI B175.1.
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, please order the
guide bar we recommend in this manual or the guide bar with the correct specication with
regarding to this product.

ADDITIONAL WARNINGS
A chain saw is intended for two-handed use
(Fig.2). Serious injury to the operator, helpers,
and/or bystanders can result from one-handed
operation.
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.
Always cut with the unit running at full
speed. Fully squeeze the switch trigger and
maintain cutting speed.
With a basic understanding of kickback,
you can reduce or eliminate the element
of surprise (Fig.3.4.5). Sudden surprise
contributes to accidents.

Danger Zone
Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
Avoid unintentional contact with the sta-
tionary 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 com-
pletely and securely assembled. Be sure that
the saw chain stops moving when the trigger
switch is released.
Do not incinerate the appliance even if it is
severely damaged. The batteries can explode
in a re.
Inspect the work piece for nails, wire, or other foreign objects prior to cutting.
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.
Never use the guide bar as a lever. A bent
guide bar 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.
Cut only one work piece at a time.
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. See Figure 6.
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.
Use only with the battery packs and
chargers listed below:
Battery Charger
BY8705-00 SC5364-00
BY8708-00
Do not charge the battery pack in rain or in wet locations.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or excessive temperature. Exposure to re or
temperature above 212 °F (100°C) may cause explosion.
If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, use care and good judgment.
