56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW — CS160028
PREPARATION FOR CUTTING
Refer to “Important Safety Instructions” earlier in this manual for appropriate safety equipment.
Work Area Precautions
Cut only wood or materials made from wood; do not cut sheet metal, plastics,
masonry, or non-wood building materials.
Never allow children to operate the chain saw.
Allow no person to use this chain saw who has not read this Operator's Manual or
received adequate instructions for the safe and proper use of this chain saw.
When felling a tree, keep everyone - helpers, bystanders, children, and animals -
a safe distance from the cutting area. During felling operations, the safe distance
should be a least twice the height of the largest trees in the felling area. During
bucking operations, keep a minimum distance of 15 feet (4.5 m) between
workers. Trees should not be felled in a manner that would endanger any person,
strike any utility line or cause any property damage. If a tree does make contact
with any utility line, stay clear of the tree and the line and notify the utility
company immediately.
Always cut with both feet on solid ground to prevent being pulled off balance.
Do not cut above chest height, as a saw held higher is difcult to control against
kickback forces.
Do not fell trees near electrical wires or buildings.
Cut only when visibility and light are adequate for you to see clearly.
Proper Grip On Handles
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum
grip and protection.
With the saw on a rm, at surface,
hold the saw rmly with both hands.
Always grasp the front handle with
the left hand and the rear handle with
the right hand.
The ngers should encircle the
handle, with the thumb wrapped under the front handle (Fig. 12).
