Use and Care Guide
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.
