Page 5: Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Use extreme caution when cutting small brush and saplings, because small material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance. • When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back, so that you will not be struck when the tension in the wood fibers is released. - Page 6 GENERAL SAFETY RULES W A R N I N G Kickback may occur when the moving chain contacts an object at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Contact at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar can cause the chain to dig into the object and stop the chain for an instant.
- Page 7 GENERAL SAFETY RULES • Push and Pull — This reaction force is always opposite to the direction the chain is moving where contact is made with the wood. Thus, the operator must be ready to control the PULL when cutting on the bottom edge of the bar, and the PUSH when cutting along the top edge. (See Figure 3.) Fig.

Page 15: Operation
OPERATION W A R N I N G Do not allow familiarity with this product to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury. W A R N I N G Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating power tools. - Page 16 OPERATION STARTING AND STOPPING THE CHAINSAW (See Figure 8) W A R N I N G Keep body to the left of the chain line. Never straddle the saw or chain, or lean over past the chain line. To start the motor: •...
- Page 17 OPERATION PREPARING FOR CUTTING PROPER GRIP ON HANDLES (See Figure 9) See General Safety Rules for appropriate safety equipment. • Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection. • Hold the saw firmly with both hands. Always keep your left hand on the front handle and your right hand on the rear handle so that your body is to the left of the chain line.
- Page 18 OPERATION PROPER CUTTING STANCE (See Figure 10) • Balance your weight with both feet on solid ground. • Keep left arm with elbow locked in a “straight arm” position to withstand any kickback force. • Keep your body to the left of the chain line. •...
- Page 19 OPERATION WORK AREA PRECAUTIONS (See Figure 11) • Cut only wood or materials made from wood; no sheet metal, no plastics, no masonry, no non- wooden building materials. • Never allow children to operate the saw. Allow no person to use this chainsaw who has not read this Owner's Manual or received adequate instructions for the safe and proper use of this chainsaw.
- Page 20 OPERATION FELLING TREES HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS (See Figure 12) When felling a tree, it is important that you heed the following warnings to prevent possble serious injury • Do not cut down trees having an extreme lean, or large trees with rotten limbs, loose bark or hollow trunks.
- Page 21 OPERATION • Consider the force and direction of the wind, the lean and balance of the tree, and the location of large limbs. These things influence the direction in which the tree will fall. Do not try to fell a tree along a line different from its natural line of fall.
- Page 22 OPERATION REMOVING BUTTRESS ROOTS (See Figure 14) A buttress root is a large root extending from the trunk of the tree above the ground. Remove large buttress roots prior to felling. Make the horizontal cut into the buttress first, followed by the vertical cut.
- Page 23 OPERATION BUCKING WITH A WEDGE (See Figure 16) If the wood diameter is large enough for you to insert a soft bucking wedge without touching the chain, you should use the wedge to hold the cut open to prevent pinching. BUCKING LOGS UNDER STRESS (See Figure 17) Make the first bucking cut 1/3 of the way through the log, and finish with a 2/3 cut on the opposite side.
- Page 24 OPERATION LIMBING (See Figure 20) (Limbing is removing branches from a fallen tree.) • Work slowly, keeping both hands on the chainsaw with a firm grip. Always make sure your footing is secure and your weight is distributed evenly on both feet. •...
- Page 25 OPERATION CUTTING SPRINGPOLES A springpole is any log, branch, rooted stump, or sapling that is bent under tension by other wood, so that it springs back if the wood holding it is cut or removed. On a fallen tree, a rooted stump has a high potential of springing back to the upright position during the bucking cut to separate the log from the stump.

Page 26: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE W A R N I N G When servicing, use only identical GreenWorks™ replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage. W A R N I N G Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust. - Page 27 MAINTENANCE REPLACING THE GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN (See Figures 23-28) D A N G E R Never start the motor before installing the guide bar, chain, chain cover, and chain cover lock knob. Without all these parts in place, the clutch can fly off or explode, exposing the user to possible serious injury.
- Page 28 MAINTENANCE • Disconnect chainsaw from power supply. • Rotate the chain cover lock knob counter-clockwise, and remove knob. • Remove the chain cover. • Remove the bar and chain from the mounting surface. • Remove the old chain from the bar. •...
- Page 29 MAINTENANCE • Release the tip of the guide bar, and turn the chain tensioning knob 1/2 turn clockwise. • Hold the tip of the guide bar up and tighten the chain cover lock knob. The chain is correctly tensioned when there is no sag on the underside of the guide bar, and when the chain is snug, but can be turned by hand without binding.
- Page 30 MAINTENANCE W A R N I N G Never touch or adjust the chain while the motor is running. The saw chain is very sharp. Always wear protective gloves when performing maintenance involving the chain. ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION (See Figure 29-30) •...
- Page 31 MAINTENANCE C A U T I O N Make sure the chainsaw is disconnected from the power supply before you work on the saw. CHAIN MAINTENANCE (See Figure 31) Use only a low-kickback chain on this saw. This fast-cutting chain provides kickback reduction when properly maintained.
- Page 32 MAINTENANCE SHARPENING THE CUTTERS (See Figure 32-35) Be careful to file all cutters to the specified angles and to the same length, because fast cutting can only be obtained when all cutters are uniform. C A U T I O N Make sure the chainsaw is disconnected from the power supply before you work on the saw.
- Page 33 MAINTENANCE C A U T I O N A dull or improperly sharpened chain can cause excessive motor speed during cutting, which may result in severe motor damage. W A R N I N G Improper chain sharpening increases the potential for kickback. W A R N I N G Failure to replace or repair a damaged chain can cause serious injury.
- Page 34 MAINTENANCE MAINTAINING DEPTH GAUGE CLEARANCE • Maintain the depth gauge at a clearance of .025" (.6 mm). Use a depth gauge tool for checking the depth gauge clearances. • Every time the chain is filed, check the depth gauge clearance. •...
