personal injury and damage. Do not wire a battery pack to a

power supply plug or car cigarette lighter. Such misuse will

permanently disable or damage the battery pack.

• Avoid dangerous environments – Do not charge the

battery packs in rain, snow or in damp or wet locations.

Do not use the battery packs or charger in the presence of

explosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or ammable

NOTE: The safe temperature range for the battery is

41°F – 105ºF (5°C – 40.5°C). 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

female plug matching the male plug on the charger. Make

sure that the extension cord is in good electrical condition.

• Check the rated input for the charger before using – The

charger must be plugged into an appropriate receptacle.

• Use only recommended attachments – Use of an

attachment not recommended or sold by the battery

re, electric shock or personal injury.

• Unplug charger when not in use – Make sure to remove

• Do not burn or incinerate battery packs – Battery

packs may explode, causing personal injury or damage.

Toxic fumes and materials are created when battery packs

are burned.

• Do not crush, drop or damage battery packs – Do not

use the battery packs or charger if they have sustained 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

• 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 uids, wash the aected area with soap and

process. The battery packs 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 chain saw, and

therefore pose a safety risk.

Bucking is the process in which a log is cut into lengths. It is

important to make sure your footing is rm 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 these simple directions for easy cutting:

• It is easier to saw a log using the spiked bumper

(Fig. 17D).

– When bucking on a slope, always stand on the uphill

side of the log. When cutting through the log,

maintain control by releasing the cutting pressure

near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on

the chain saw handles. Do not 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
