If your chainsaw is not operating, you should first check the power supply. Ensure that your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking on the tool. A voltage decrease of more than 10% can cause loss of power and overheating.
When using the Black & Decker BECS600 chainsaw, take the following safety precautions:
To sharpen the chain:
After filing, the cutter will be sharp, so use extra caution. Each time the chain is sharpened, it loses some of the low kickback qualities and requires extra caution. It is recommended that a saw chain be sharpened no more than four times.
The Black & Decker BECS600 chainsaw is designed for felling trees and cutting logs up to 12" (205 mm) in diameter.
To properly tension the chain:
To start the chainsaw:
To turn the unit off, release the trigger. If too much force is applied while cutting, the saw may turn off. To restart, you must release the lock-off lever and the trigger switch, then begin your cut again with less force, allowing the saw to cut at its own pace. Never attempt to lock the switch in the ON position.
When operating the chainsaw:
Yes, the Black & Decker BECS600 chainsaw is equipped with an auto oiling system that keeps the saw chain and guide bar constantly lubricated. The oil level indicator shows the level of oil in the chainsaw.
The Black & Decker BECS600 chainsaw is designed for pruning applications, felling trees, and cutting logs up to 12" (205 mm) in diameter. It is intended for cutting wood only and should not be used for cutting plastic, masonry, or non-wood building materials.
To clean the chainsaw after use:
To reattach the chain, follow these steps:
Saw chain tension should be adjusted regularly before each use. Additionally, a new chain stretches slightly during the first few hours of use, so it is important to check the tension frequently during the first 2 hours of use (after disconnecting from the power source).
To maintain the chain for optimal performance:
Yes, the Black & Decker BECS600 chainsaw has an auto oiling system that keeps the saw chain and guide bar constantly lubricated. You should use a high quality bar and chain oil. As a temporary substitute, a non-detergent SAE30 weight motor oil can be used. The use of a vegetable-based bar and chain oil is recommended when pruning trees. Mineral oil is not recommended, and you should never use waste oil or very thick oil, as these may damage the chainsaw. Always empty the oil tank when finished cutting.
The essential parts of the Black & Decker BECS600 chainsaw include:
No, the Black & Decker BECS600 chainsaw is a mains-operated (corded) power tool and is not 18-volt cordless. It is designed to be used with a power cord and requires an extension cord suitable for outdoor use with the correct wire gauge based on its ampere rating and cord length. It operates on 120V or 240V depending on the region.

Questions and answers
Are all the parts shown for this BD 600 chainsaw 8amp 10in.? Problem with motor runs and chain doesn’t move.
Not all parts may be compatible with the BECS600 if it has a 10-inch motor, as the manual specifies components for a 14-inch chainsaw (e.g., 14" guide bar and chain). Compatibility depends on the specific model size.
The motor could run while the chain does not move due to several reasons:
- A loose or broken saw chain
- A worn or damaged drive sprocket
- Improper chain tension
- The sprocket cover not properly secured
- Internal mechanical failure
Check chain tension, sprocket condition, and ensure all parts are correctly assembled.
