Safety If you have questions or problems, call toll free 1-855-340-7689 before returning this product. When using electric power tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following: WARNING WARNING Failure to follow all warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
G. 4. Chain Saw Safety If devices are provided for the dust extraction and collection, ensure that these are connected and properly used. Using these devices can reduce dust-related hazards. A. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Saw chains contacting a live wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool live and could give you an electric shock. H. Keep your hands and feet away from the cutting area. 3.
thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles, with both hands on the saw, and with your body and arm in position that allows you to resist kickback forces. You can control kickback forces 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. 5.
Safety and Instructional Decals Safety decals and instructions are easily visible to the operator and are located near any area of potential danger. Replace any decal that is damaged or missing. decal136-2469 136-2469 decal136-2473 decal136-2470 136-2473 136-2470 decal136-2475 136-2475 1. Read the Operator’s Manual; wear hearing and eye protection; do not contact objects with the guide bar tip; tip contact can cause serious injury; always use 2 hands when operating the chain saw.

The battery does not come out of the box fully charged. 4. Stop—follow these instructions before first use. 2. Place the battery in the battery charger. 5. Read the Operator’s Manual. 3. Wait until the battery is fully charged before the first use.
Setup Filling the Chain Saw with Bar and Chain Oil Important: Use only bar and chain oil. 1. Place the chain saw on a level surface. 2. Clean the area around the oil cap (Figure 1). g192110 Figure 1 1. Oil cap g194202 Figure 2 2. Oil window 3. Remove the cap and pour oil into the chain saw until the oil fills the window (Figure 1). Do not fill the chain saw higher than the bottom of the fill neck. 4. Clean up any spilled oil and replace the oil cap.
Product Overview Operation Important: The battery pack does not come fully charged; refer to Charging the Battery Pack (page 14). Before Using the Chain Saw Before using the chain saw, do the following: • Clean and check the chain components for excessive wear or damage and replace them as needed; refer to Servicing the Guide Bar, Chain, and Drive Sprocket (page 17) and Sharpening the Chain (page 18). g192115 Figure 3 Left Side of Chain Saw • Check the oil level; refer to Checking the Oil Level and 1.
Shutting Off the Chain Saw 3. Align the tongue of the battery pack with the battery cavity in the chain saw (Figure 7). To shut off the chain saw, release the trigger. Whenever you are not using the saw or are transporting the saw to or from the work area, move the chain brake to the STOP position (Figure 8). Cutting with the Chain Saw WARNING Operating a chain saw improperly can cause serious person injury or death.
Pruning a Tree WARNING Cutting higher limbs from a tree off the ground can put you in an unstable position that could be unsafe for you while handling a chain saw, resulting in possible serious injury or death to you or bystanders. When cutting limbs from a standing tree, use the following practices: • Use a well-secured ladder to reach the higher areas. • Climb into a stable position on a ladder without the chain saw and hoist the chain saw with a rope. • Do not climb on limbs or branches with a chain saw.
Note: Making this cut prevents the chain saw from being pinched while making the next cut. The proper operator stance for felling a tree is shown in Figure 13. g194823 Figure 15 1. First cut 2. Second cut 3. Back cut 5. Make a second cut to form a notch, starting the cut at least 5 cm (2 inches) above and away from the first cut (Figure 15). g195831 Figure 13 6. Make the back cut from the opposite side of the notch and about 5 cm (2 inches) higher than the bottom of the notch as shown in Figure 15.
Limbing a Fallen Tree 1. Grip the chain saw as shown in Figure 11. 2. Cut off the smaller limbs from the tree that are not supporting its weight off the ground. g194825 Figure 17 3. Cut the larger limbs that are support of the weight of the tree from the bottom upward so that the limbs do not pinch the saw blade (Figure 18).
Bucking a Log • If you are cutting branches from a fallen tree or cutting a log into lengths, support the log off the ground (preferably on a sawbuck); refer to Figure 19. g194820 Figure 19 • If the log is supported on an end, cut from the top. If the chain saw binds in the cut, do not attempt to free it by running the motor. Shut off the saw, then use a wedge to pry open the cut and release the saw.
Removing the Battery Pack 1. Place the chain saw on a flat surface. 2. Press down on the latch and remove the battery pack from the cavity. g192748 Figure 23 1. Battery pack cavity g192109 2.

Maintenance Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Before each use or daily Maintenance Procedure • • • • Check the oil level and add bar and chain oil if necessary. Check the chain brake. Check the chain tension and adjust it if necessary. Check the chain for sharpness; contact an Authorized Service Dealer to have the chain sharpened or replaced. After each battery drain cycle • Adjust the chain tension.
Adjusting the Chain Tension 6. Check the chain tension; if the chain is loose, repeat this procedure. Service Interval: Before each use or daily After each battery drain cycle Servicing the Guide Bar, Chain, and Drive Sprocket Ensure that the chain is properly tensioned. A loose chain will shorten the life of the drive sprocket and the guide bar and may break the chain. An overtightened chain will overheat the guide bar and chain, causing rapid wear and possible motor burnout.
g192116 Figure 30 1. Oil passage 3. Spacer 2. Clip 4. Drive sprocket 6. Inspect the drive sprocket; if it is excessively worn or damaged, replace it. 7. Check the oil passage (Figure 30) for debris and clean the area if necessary. 8. Install the drive sprocket, spacer, and clip. 9. Clean the guide bar and chain; use a wire or a small flat-head screwdriver to remove dirt and debris from the groove along the edge of the guide bar, starting from the sprocket on the front end and moving rearward.
Storage Contact an Authorized Service Dealer to have the chain sharpened or replaced. Important: Store the tool, battery pack, and battery charger only in temperatures between -20°C (-4°F) and 70°C (158°F). Preparing the Battery Pack for Recycling Important: Unplug the charger if stored below -20°C (-4°F) or above 70°C (158°F). Important: Upon removal, cover the terminals of the battery pack with heavy-duty adhesive tape.
Troubleshooting Problem The motor does not run or runs intermittently. Possible Cause Corrective Action 1. The chain brake is engaged. 1. Disengage the chain brake by moving the chain brake rearward. 2. The battery pack is low on charge. 3. The battery pack is not fully seated. 2. Charge the battery pack. 3. Ensure that the battery pack is inserted all the way into the housing. 4. Allow the battery pack to cool. 5. Release the trigger, then press the trigger switch. 6.
Problem Possible Cause Corrective Action 2 LED indicators are blinking on the battery pack after you press the battery-charge-indicator button on the battery pack and the current charge displays (when the battery pack is not in use). 1. There is a difference in voltage between cells in the battery pack. 1. Place the battery on the charger until it is fully charged. 2 LED indicators are blinking on the battery pack after releasing the trigger (when the battery pack is in use). 1.
