OMNI-DIRECTIONAL CHAIN BRAKE SYSTEM (Fig. U1
and Fig. U2)
WARNING:
The omni-directional chain brake system
is not intended to act as a substitute to the standard/
traditional chain brake. The user should never rely on
this feature during operation of the chainsaw to protect
against kickback. Always follow safety instructions related
to kickback mitigation found in the warning section of
this manual.
When the omni-directional chain brake system is
activated and stops the saw, the brake icon will be
flashing on the LCD screen (Fig. S). Release the trigger
switch, remove the saw chain and guide bar from the
wood, then restart the chainsaw.
NOTE:
The sensors will only detect sudden motion of the
saw in the plane of the guide bar (fig. U1). The sensors
will not detect any sudden motion of the saw sideways
(fig. U2) (i.e., perpendicular to the plane of the guide bar).
PROPER GRIP ON HANDLES (Fig. V1)
◾
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
◾
With the saw on a firm, flat surface, hold the saw firmly
with both hands.
◾
Always grasp the front handle with the left hand and
the rear handle with the right hand.
◾
The fingers should encircle the handle, with the thumb
wrapped under the front handle.
WARNING:
Never use a left-handed (cross-handed)
grip, or any stance which would place your body or arm
across the chain line.
WARNING:
Do not operate the trigger switch with
your left hand and hold the front handle with your right
hand. Never allow any part of your body to be in the chain
line while operating a chainsaw (Fig. V2).
PROPER CUTTING STANCE (Fig. V3)
◾
Both feet should be on solid ground, with weight evenly
spread between them.
◾
The left arm should be straight, with the elbow locked.
This helps to withstand the forces generated by
kickback.
◾
Your body should always be to the left of the chain line.

56 VOLT LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW — CS2000E
®
WARNING:
the chainsaw firmly with both hands while the motor is
running.
WARNING:
to pinching during cutting, release the trigger switch;
remove the saw chain and guide bar from the wood, then
restart the chainsaw.
WARNING:
when it is bound by the sawdust. Serious injury could
result if the chainsaw starts accidentally. Press the saw
chain against the wood, move the chainsaw back and
forth to discharge the debris. Always remove the battery
pack before cleaning. Wear heavy protective gloves when
handling the saw chain.
WARNING:
contact with the wood. Always allow the chainsaw to
reach full speed before applying the saw to the wood.
Felling a tree
◾
When bucking and felling operations are being
performed by two or more persons at the same time,
the felling operation should be separated from the
bucking operation by a distance of at least twice the
height of the tree being felled. Trees should not be
felled in a manner that would endanger any person,
strike any utility line or cause any property damage.
If the tree does make contact with any utility line, the
utility company should be notified immediately.
◾
The chainsaw operator should stand on the uphill
side of the terrain, as the tree is likely to roll or slide
downhill after it is felled.
◾
An escape path should be planned and cleared as
necessary before cuts are started. The escape path
should extend back and diagonally to the rear of the
expected line of fall as Fig. W1 shown.
◾
Before felling is started, consider the natural lean of
the tree, the location of larger branches and the wind
direction to judge which way the tree will fall.
◾
Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire
from the tree.
Notching undercut
Make the notch 1/3 the diameter of the tree,
perpendicular to the direction of falls as Fig. W2 shown.
Make the lower horizontal notching cut first. This will help
to avoid pinching either the saw chain or the guide bar
when the second notch is being made.
Felling back cut
◾
Make the felling back cut at least 50 mm higher than
the horizontal notching cut as Fig. W2 shown. Keep
the felling back cut parallel to the horizontal notching
Always be sure of your footing and hold
When the saw chain is stopped due
Do not pull the saw chain with hand
Never start the chainsaw when it is in
