IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of injury, read
WARNING
and follow all safety instructions
provided with this accessory and your saw. Kick-
back can occur with any saw chain. Guard against
kickback, which may result in severe injury, by
using your saw safely at all times. Always wear
proper PPE.
READ AND SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tension-
ing and changing the bar and chain. Improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.
• Cut wood only. Do not use pruning saw for pur-
poses not intended. For example: do not use
pruning saw for cutting metal, plastic, masonry
or non-wood building materials. Use of the pruning
in a hazardous situation.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip
of the guide bar touches an object, or when
the wood closes in and pinches the saw
chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a
sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide
bar up and back towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the
guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly
back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose con-
trol of the saw which could result in serious personal
injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices
built into your saw. As a pruning saw user, you should
take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from
accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of pruning saw misuse and/or in-
correct operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
•
tion your body and arm(s) to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled
by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do
not let go of the pruning saw.
• Only use replacement guide bars and saw chains
ment guide bars and saw chains may cause chain
breakage and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and main-
tenance instructions for the saw chain. Decreas-
ing the depth gauge height can lead to increased
kickback.
Always be aware of what you are doing when
•
using the pruning saw. Use common sense. Do
not operate the pruning saw when you are tired, ill, or
• Keep all parts of your body away from the saw
chain when the unit is running.
• Maintain the unit with care. Keep the cutting edge
sharp and clean for best performance and to reduce
the risk of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories.

Use Low Kickback Saw Chains - The rakers (depth
gauges) ahead of each cutter can minimize the force
of a kickback reaction by preventing the cutters from
digging in too deeply at the kickback zone. Only use
replacement chain that is equivalent to original chain
or has been certified as low kickback chain per ANSI
B175.1.
As saw chains are sharpened during their useful life,
they lose some of the low kickback qualities and extra
caution should be used.
1. Remove the battery pack.
2.
3. Remove the drive cover by removing the guide bar
nuts using the adjustment tool.
