sure that you use both hands when operating
your chainsaw.

Remove the plug from the mains before
changing the work location, adjusting or
cleaning, or if the cord becomes entangled
or damaged.
•
Your chainsaw when not is use. Do not store
your chainsaw for any length of time without first
removing the saw chain and guide bar which
should be kept immersed in oil. Store all parts of
your chainsaw in a dry, secure place out of reach
of children. We recommend you drain the oil
reservoir prior to storage.

when it is raining. We recommend you use the
chainsaw in combination with a residual current
device; specification: delta I = 30mA
•
Do not use the chainsaw above shoulder height.
•
Ensure someone is nearby (but at a safe
distance) in case of an accident.

Do not try to insert into a previous cut, as this
could cause kickback. Always make a fresh cut
every time.

When carrying the chainsaw, please use the
protection sleeve for the bar.

Double insulation

Your machine is double insulated. This means that
all external metal parts are electrically isolated from
the power supply. This is achieved by placing an
extra insulation barrier between the electrical and
mechanical parts. Double insulation means greater
electrical safety and obviates the necessity of having
the machine earthed.
Black & Decker policy is one of continuous improvement
to their products and as such they reserve the right
to change product specification without prior notice.

Electrical safety

Your machine should always be switched off at the
mains before disconnecting any plug and socket
connector or extension cables. Make sure your
machine is correct for your supply. The voltage for this
machine is on the rating plate. We strongly
recommend the use of PVC or rubber covered plugs
or connectors with your chainsaw. The recommended
1
.
fuse for use with your machine is 13 amps.
Note: Fuses do not give protection against
electric shock.
New cable connection system
(UK only)
Black & Decker continually make every effort to
achieve the highest standards in performance, quality
and reliability and recommend the use of the new
outdoor cable connection system.
The new system gives additional protection against
the possibility of water or moisture entering into the
cable connector during normal use.
Note: The new connection system does not release
the operator of the machine from the safety
precautions/warnings and safe working practices given
in this instruction leaflet. Particular attention is drawn
to the coupler system as being "weather resistant"
and not suitable for immersion, submersion or being
subjected to water jets. Care should be taken to
prevent the cable from lying or trailing through pools
of water or from splashing with hose pipes.
The new cable system is available in various lengths
through most major DIY retail outlets:
A6611 15m heavy duty cable, new socket,
A6612 25m heavy duty cable, new socket,
A6613 40m heavy duty cable, new socket,
