GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your item works. SAVE THESE SAFE-
TY INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: To avoid mistakes and serious injury, do not plug in your tool until the following steps
have been read and understood.
1. READ and become familiar with this entire instruction manual. LEARN the tool’s applications, limitations, and
possible hazards.
2. AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. Do not use in wet or damp areas or expose them to rain. Keep work
areas well lit.
3. DO NOT use in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
4. DO NOT direct the tool at any bystanders.
5. KEEP BYSTANDERS AT A SAFE DISTANCE from the work area, especially when the tool is operating.
NEVER allow children or pets near the tool.
6. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to do a job for which it was not designed.
7. DRESS FOR SAFETY. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry (rings, watches, etc.) when op-
erating the tool. Inappropriate clothing and items can get caught in moving parts and draw you in. ALWAYS wear
non-slip footwear and tie back long hair.
8. WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK if working in dusty or dirty conditions.
9. ALWAYS remove the battery from the tool when making adjustments, changing parts, cleaning, or working on
the tool.
10. AVOID ACCIDENTAL START-UPS. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before inserting the
battery.
11. REMOVE ADJUSTMENT TOOLS. Always make sure all adjustment tools are removed from the tool before
turning it on.
12. NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL UNATTENDED. Turn the power switch OFF. Do not leave the tool
until it has come to a complete stop.
13. NEVER STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could result if the tool tips or is accidentally hit. DO NOT store
anything above or near the tool.
14. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil-resistant rubber-soled foot-
wear. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris.
15. WEAR NECESSARY band and hearing protection. Wear no-slip heavy duty work gloves and hearing protec-
tion in order to prevent injury.
3
16. MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tools clean and in good working order. Follow instruc-
tions for lubricating and changing accessories.
17. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check for alignment of moving parts, jamming, breakage, improper
mounting, or any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced before use.
19. DO NOT operate the tool if you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication that may affect your
ability to properly use the tool.
20. USE SAFETY GOGGLES AT ALL TIMES that comply with ANSI Z87.1. Normal safety glasses only have
impact resistant lenses and are not designed for safety. Wear a face or dust mask when working in a dusty environ-
ment. Use ear protection such as plugs or muffs during extended periods of operation.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
4
1. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chainsaw is operating. Before you start the chainsaw,
make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything.
2. Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding
the chainsaw in the opposite manner can result in an increased risk of serious injury to the user.
3. Only hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces to avoid electric shock in case the saw chain contacts
hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a live wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool live and can give
the operator an electric shock.
4. Keep the saw chain away from any cords or extension cables.
5. Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Protective equipment for hands, legs, head and feet is also highly
recommended. Protective clothing greatly reduces the risk of personal injury from loose debris or accidental contact
with the saw chain.
6. Do not operate the chainsaw while standing in a tree. Only operate the chainsaw from a firm, level surface fixed
on the ground. Always keep proper footing during operation. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may
cause a loss of balance or control.
7. When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back. When tension from wood fibers and branches
is suddenly released, the limb may fly in unpredictable ways, possibly resulting in kickback and injury to the user.
8. Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the saw chain, whipping
towards you or pulling you off balance.
9. Carry the chainsaw by the front handle with the chainsaw switched off and away from your body. When transport-
ing or storing the chainsaw always protect the blade with a scabbard (blade cover). Remove battery for transport.
SPECIFIC RULES FOR CHAINSAWS
WARNING: Do not let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated
use) replace strict adherence to product safety rules. If you use this tool incorrectly,
you can suffer serious personal injury!

SPECIFIC RULES FOR CHAINSAWS
10. Routinely lubricate, adjust chain tension, and check blades for dullness. Follow these instructions closely to
minimize kickback and maximize the lifespan of the tool.
11. Keep handles dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Slippery handles increase the chances of losing control.
12. Only use this chainsaw to cut wood. Do not cut plastic, masonry or other non-wood materials. Do not use this
chainsaw for anything other than its intended purpose. Let the saw work at its own pace.
REDUCING KICKBACK:
Kickback can occur when the tip of the guide bar touches an object or when the wood closes in and pinches the
saw chain inside of the cut. Tip contact can kick the guide bar up and back towards the operator. Pinching the saw
chain along the top of the guide bar can push the bar rapidly towards the operator. Either of these reactions may
cause a loss in control of the chainsaw, increasing the chances of serious personal injury. Do not rely on the safety
devices built into the saw. Chainsaw users should take as many precautions as possible to minimize on-site accidents.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures. These conditions can be minimized
with the following steps:
1. Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the chainsaw handles. Both hands should be on the saw
with your body and arms in a position to resist kickback forces.
2. Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. Keep the work area free from obstructions.
3. Only use replacement bars and chains specified by WEN. Replace dull blades as necessary.
4. Do not let the tip of the guide bar contact any surfaces.
5. Keep proper tension of your blade at all times. Check the tension at regular intervals. Unplug the battery from
the tool before making any adjustments to the blade or the machine.
6. Cuts should only take place while the chain is moving at full speed. Do not turn the saw ON or OFF in the middle
of a cut. Use extreme caution when re-entering a previous cut.
7. Cut one log at a time. Do not attempt plunge or bore cuts. Watch for shifting logs or other external forces that
could close a cut and pinch the chain.
8. Make a precut on the opposite side of the log to avoid the blade from being pinched during operation as another
safeguard against kickback.

FELLING A TREE
When bucking and felling operations are being performed by two or
more persons at the same time, the felling operations should be sepa-
rated from the bucking operation by a distance of at least twice the
height of the tree being felled. Trees should not be felled in a manner
that would endanger any person, strike any utility line or cause any
property damage. If the tree does make contact with any utility line,
the company should be notified immediately.
The chain saw operator should keep on the uphill side of the terrain as
the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after it is felled.
An escape path should be planned and cleared as necessary before
cuts are started. The escape path should extend back and diagonally
to the rear of the expected line of fall as illustrated in Figure BB.101.
Before felling is started, consider the natural lean of the tree, the loca-
tion of larger branches and the wind direction to judge which way the
tree will fall. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire
from the tree.
Make the notch 1/3 the diameter of the tree, perpendicular to the
direction of falls as illustrated in Figure BB.102. Make the lower hori-
zontal notching cut first. This will help to avoid pinching either the saw
chain or the guide bar when the second notch is being made.
FELLING BACK A CUT
Make the felling back cut at least 50 mm higher than the horizontal
SPECIFIC RULES FOR CHAINSAWS
notching cut as illustrated in Figure BB.102. Keep the felling back cut parallel to the horizontal notching cut. Make
the felling back cut so enough wood is left to act as a hinge. The hinge wood keeps the tree from twisting and falling
in the wrong direction. Do not cut through the hinge.
As the felling gets close to the hinge, the tree should begin to fall. If there is any chance that the tree may not fall in
desired direction or it may rock back and bind the saw chain, stop cutting before the felling back cut is complete and
use wedges of wood, plastic or aluminium to open the cut and drop the tree along the desired line of fall.
When the tree begins to fall remove the chain saw from the cut, stop the motor, put the chain saw down, then use
the retreat path planned. Be alert for overhead limbs falling and watch your footing.
LIMBING A TREE
Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen tree. When limbing leave larger lower limbs to support the log off
the ground. Remove the small limbs in one cut as illustrated in Figure BB.103. Branches under tension should be
cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the chain saw.

SPECIFIC RULES FOR CHAINSAWS
BUCKING A LOG
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to make sure your
footing is firm and your weight is evenly distributed on both feet.
When possible, the log should be raised and supported by the use of
limbs, logs or chocks. Follow the simple directions for easy cutting.
When the log is supported along its entire length as illustrated in Fig-
ure BB.104, it is cut from the top (overbuck).
When the log is supported on one end, as illustrated in Figure
BB.105, cut 1/3 the diameter from the underside (underbuck). Then
make the finished cut by overbucking to meet the first cut.
When the log is supported on both ends, as illustrated in Figure
BB.106, cut 1/3 the diameter from the top (overbuck). Then make the finished cut by underbucking the lower 2/3
to meet the first cut.
When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the log, as illustrated in Figure BB.107. When cutting
through, to maintain complete control release the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip
on the chain saw handles. Don’t let the chain contact the ground. After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to
stop before you move the chain saw. Always stop the motor before moving from tree to tree.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always be exercised when handling batteries. The following points
must be obeyed at all times to ensure safe use. Safe use can only be guaranteed if undamaged cells are used. In-
correct handling of the battery pack can cause cell damage.
• Avoid dangerous environments – Do not charge the battery pack in rain, snow or in damp or wet locations.
Do not use the battery pack or charger in the presence of explosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or flam-
mable materials) because sparks may be generated when inserting or removing the battery pack, which could lead
to a fire.
• Charge in a well-ventilated area – Do not block the charger vents. Keep them clear to allow for proper
ventilation. Do not allow smoking or open flames near a charging battery pack. Vented gases may explode.
NOTE: The safe temperature range for the battery charging is -4°F to 113°F. Do not charge the battery outside in
freezing weather; charge it at room temperature.
• Maintain charger cord – When unplugging the charger, pull the plug, not the cord, from the receptacle to
reduce the risk of damage to the electrical plug and cord. Never carry the charger by its cord or yank it by the cord
to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Make sure the cord will
not be stepped on, tripped over or subjected to damage or stress when the charger is in use. Do not use the char-
ger with a damaged cord or plug. Replace a damaged charger immediately.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary – Using the wrong, damaged or im-
properly wired extension cord poses a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, plug the
charger into a properly wired 16 gauge or larger extension cord with the female plug matching the male plug on
the charger. Make sure that the extension cord is in good electrical condition.
• Charger is rated for 120 volt AC only – The charger must be plugged into an appropriate receptacle.
• Use only recommended attachments – Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by WEN Prod-
ucts may result in risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.
• Unplug charger when not in use – Make sure to remove battery packs from unplugged chargers.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, always unplug the charger before performing any
cleaning or maintenance. Do not allow water to flow into the charger. Use a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce shock hazards.
• Do not burn or incinerate battery packs – Battery packs may explode, causing personal injury or dam-
age. Toxic fumes and materials are created when battery packs are burned.
• Do not crush, drop or damage battery packs – Do not use the battery pack or charger if they have sus-
tained a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or have been damaged in any way (i.e. pierced with a nail, hit with a
hammer, stepped on, etc.).
• Do not disassemble – Incorrect reassembly may pose a serious risk of electric shock, fire or exposure to
toxic battery chemicals. If the battery or charger are damaged, call WEN customer service at 1-800-232-1195 for
assistance.

BATTERY & CHARGER INSTRUCTIONS
ABOUT THE BATTERY:
1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless tool is only partially charged. The battery pack has to be charged
completely before you use the tool for the first time.
2. For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge cycles by charging the battery pack frequently.
3. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging process. The battery pack must be replaced at the latest
when its capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when new. Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are no longer
capable of meeting the high power requirements needed for the proper operation of your tool, and therefore pose
a safety risk.
4. Do not throw battery packs into an open fire as this poses a risk of explosion. Do not ignite the battery pack or
expose it to fire.
5. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries. Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery cells. The most common
cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of partially discharged batteries. Stop working as soon
as the performance of the battery falls noticeably or the electronic protection system triggers. Place the battery
pack in storage only after it has been fully charged.
6. Protect batteries and the tool from overloads. Overloads will quickly result in overheating and cell damage
inside the battery housing even if this overheating is not apparent externally.
7. Avoid damage and shocks. Immediately replace batteries that have been dropped from a height of more than
one meter or those that have been exposed to violent shocks, even if the housing of the battery pack appears to be
undamaged. The battery cells inside the battery may have suffered serious damage. In such instances, please read
the waste disposal information for proper battery disposal.
8. If the battery pack suffers overloading and overheating, the integrated protective cutoff will switch off the equip-
ment for safety reasons.
9. Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries poses a fire risk and may result in injuries or an
explosion.
• Battery chemicals cause serious burns – Never let a damaged battery pack contact the skin, eyes or
mouth. If a damaged battery pack leaks battery chemicals, use rubber or neoprene gloves to safely dispose of it.
If skin is exposed to battery fluids, wash the affected area with soap and water and rinse with vinegar. If eyes are
exposed to battery chemicals, immediately flush with water for 20 minutes and seek medical attention. Remove
and dispose of contaminated clothing.
• Do not short circuit – A battery pack will short circuit if a metal object makes a connection between the posi-
tive and negative contacts on the battery pack. Do not place a battery pack near anything that may cause a short
circuit, such as paper clips, coins, keys, screws, nails and other metallic objects. A short-circuited battery pack
poses a risk of fire and severe personal injury.
• Store your battery pack and charger in a cool, dry place – Do not store the battery pack or charger
where temperatures may exceed 104 °F, such as in direct sunlight or inside a vehicle or metal building during the
summer.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS (For charger)
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance
for an electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an
equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
licensed electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The conduc-
tor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to a
live terminal.
CHECK with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding instruc-
tions or whether the tool is properly grounded.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a li-
censed electrician check the outlet.
WARNING: This charger is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
CHARGER
Protect the battery charger and its cord from damage. Keep the charger and its cord away from heat, oil and sharp
edges. Electrical plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with grounded appliances. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Keep the battery charger, battery pack(s) and the cordless tool out of the reach of children. Do not use the sup-
plied battery charger to charge other cordless tools. During periods of heavy use, the battery pack will become
warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature before inserting it into the charger to recharge.
Do not overcharge batteries. Do not exceed the maximum charging times. These charging times only apply to dis-
charged batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged or partially charged battery pack will result in overcharging and
cell damage. Do not leave battery in the charger for days on end. Never use or charge a battery if you suspect that
it has been more than 12 months since the last time they were charged. There is a high probability that the battery
pack has already suffered dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge). Do not use battery that have been exposed to
heat during the charging process, as the battery cells may have suffered dangerous damage. Do not use battery that
have suffered curvature or deformation during the charging process or those that exhibit other atypical symptoms
(gassing, hissing, cracking, etc.)
Warning: Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Please recycle
where facilities exist. Check with your local authority or retailer for recycling advice.
