f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Intended use
Your BLACK+DECKERTM chainsaw has been designed for
pruning and felling trees and cutting logs. This tool is intended
for consumer use only.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
Safety instructions
General power tool safety warnings
Warning! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
@
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers
to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery oper-
ated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

(Original instructions)
ENGLISH
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Additional power tool safety warnings
Warning! Additional safety warnings for
chainsaws
@
u Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain
when the chainsaw is operating. Before you start the
chainsaw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting
anything. A moment of inattention while operating chain
saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body
with the chain saw.
u Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the
rear handle and your left hand on the front handle.
Holding the chainsaw with a reversed hand configuration
increases the risk of personal injury and should never be
done.
u Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the saw chain may contact hidden
wiring. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
u Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further
protective equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is
recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce
personal injury by flying debris or accidental contact with
the saw chain.
u Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree. Operation of a
chainsaw while up in a tree may result in personal injury.
u Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw
only when standing on fixed, secure and level surface.
Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause
a loss of balance or control of the chainsaw.
5. Battery tool use and care
a. Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
b. Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
c. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns
or a fire.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
u When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert
for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres is
released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator
and/or throw the chain saw out of control.
u Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings.
The slender material may catch the saw chain and be
whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
u Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain
saw switched off and away from your body. When
transporting or storing the chainsaw always fit the
guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chain saw will
reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving
saw chain.
6. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
u Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning
and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance
for kickback
u Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
7
(Original instructions)
ENGLISH
u Cut wood only. Do not use chainsaw for purposes not
intended. For example: do not use the chainsaw for
cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materi-
als. Use of the chainsaw for operations different than
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
u We recommend that when carrying the chainsaw that you
remove the battery and make sure that the saw chain is
facing backwards.
u Maintain your chainsaw when not in use. Do not store
your chainsaw for any length of time without first remov-
ing 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.
u We recommend you drain the oil reservoir prior to storage.
u Be sure of your footing and pre-plan a safe exit from a
falling tree or branches.
u Use wedges to help control felling and prevent binding the
guide bar and saw chain in the cut.
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 reac-
tion, 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 control of
the chainsaw which could result in serious personal injury.
Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your
chainsaw. As a chainsaw user, you should take several steps
to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and / or incorrect operat-
ing procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below:
u Saw chain care. Keep the saw chain sharp and snug on
the guide bar. Ensure the saw chain and guide bar are
clean and well oiled. Keep handles dry, clean and free
from oil and grease.
Avoid cutting
u Prepared timber.
u Into the ground.
u Into wire fences, nails. etc.
u Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encir-
cling the chainsaw handles. With both hands on the
chainsaw, position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be control-
led by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not
let go of the chainsaw.
u Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder
height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and
enables better control of the chainsaw in unexpected situ-
ations.
u Only use replacement guide bars and chains specified
by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement guide bars
and chains may cause chain breakage and/ or kickback.
u Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and mainte-
nance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the
depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
u Striking metal, cement or any other hard material near the
wood, or buried in the wood can cause kickback.
u A dull or loose chain can cause kickback.
Additional safety instructions
u Ensure someone is nearby (but at a safe distance) in case
of an accident.
u If for any reason you have to touch the saw chain, make
sure your chainsaw is disconnected from the mains.
u The noise from this product can exceed 85 dB(A). We
therefore recommend you take appropriate measures for
the protection of hearing.
u When handling the product the chain bar may become
hot, handle with care.
Safety of others
u This appliance is not intended for use by persons (includ-
ing children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concern-
ing use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
u Do not try to insert into a previous cut. As this could cause
kickback. Make a fresh cut every time.
u Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
Safety recommendations for the chainsaw
u We strongly recommend that first time users obtain practi-
cal instruction in the use of the chainsaw and protective
equipment from an experienced user. Initial practice
should be completed sawing logs on a saw horse or
cradle.
Residual risks.
Additional residual risks may arise when using the tool which
may not be included in the enclosed safety warnings. These
risks can arise from misuse, prolonged use etc.
Even with the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual
risks can not be avoided. These include:

(Original instructions)
ENGLISH
u To charge the battery (12), insert it into the charger (19).
The battery will only fit into the charger in one way. Do
not force. Be sure that the battery is fully seated in the
charger.
u Plug in the charger and switch on at the mains.
The charging indicator (18) will blink.
Oiling the chain
We recommend that you use only Black & Decker oil during
the lifetime of your chainsaw because mixtures of different oils
could lead to the oil becoming degraded, which can drastically
shorten the lifetime of the saw chain and create additional
risks.
The charge is complete when the charging indicator (18)
switches to continuously on. The charger and the battery
can be left connected indefinitely. The charging indicator will
switch on as the charger occasionally tops up the battery
charge.
Never use waste oil, thick oil or very thin sewing machine oil.
These may damage your chainsaw .Only use the correct
grade of oil (cat. no. A6023-QZ).
u The chain saw will automatically feed oil to the chain dur-
ing use.
u Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life will
be greatly diminished if stored in a discharged state.
Switching on (fig. O)
u Grip your chainsaw firmly with both hands. Pull the lock-off
button (2) with your thumb and then push the on/off switch
(1) to start.
u When the motor starts, remove your thumb from the lock-
off button (2) and grip the handle firmly.
Leaving the battery in the charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the
charging indicator glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep
the battery pack fresh and fully charged.
Do not force the tool, allow the tool to do the work. It will do
a better and safer job at the speed for which it is designed.
Excessive force will stretch the saw chain (6).
Charger diagnostics
If the charger detects a weak or damaged battery, the charg-
ing indicator (18) will flash red at a fast rate. Proceed as
follows:
If the saw chain (6) or guide bar (7) becomes
jammed
u Re-insert the battery (12).
u If the charging indicators continues flashing red at a fast
rate, use a different battery to determine if the charging
process works properly.
u If the replaced battery charges correctly, the original
battery is defective and should be returned to a service
centre for recycling.
u Switch the tool off.
u Remove the battery (12).
u Open the cut with wedges to relieve the strain on the
guide bar (7). Do not try to wrench the chainsaw free.
u Start a fresh cut.
u If the new battery gives the same indication as the original
battery, take the charger to be tested at an authorised
services centre.
Note: It may take as long as 30 minutes to determine that
the battery is defective. If the battery is too hot or too
cold, the charging indicator will alternately blink red, fast
and slow, one flash at each speed and repeat.
Felling (fig. P, Q & R)
Inexperienced users should not attempt to fell trees. The user
may suffer injury or cause damage to property as a result of
failure to control the direction of fall, the tree may splinter or
damaged/dead branches may fall during cutting.
The safe distance between a tree to be felled and bystanders,
buildings and other objects is at least 2 1/2 times the height of
the tree. Any bystander, building or object within this distance
is at risk from being struck by the tree when felled.
State of charge indicator (fig. N)
The battery is fitted with a state of charge indicator. This can
be used to display the current level of charge in the battery
during use and during charging.
Before attempting to fell a tree:
u Make sure that there are no local by-laws or regulations
that would prohibit or control the felling of the tree.
u Consider all conditions that may affect the direction of fall,
including:
u Press the state of charge indicator button (17).
Filling the oil reservoir (fig. O)
u Remove the oil cap (3) and fill the reservoir with the
recommended chain oil. You can see the oil level in the oil
level indicator (11). Refit the oil cap (3).
u The intended direction of fall.
u The natural lean of the tree.
u
Any unusual heavy limb structure or decay.
u Periodically switch off and check the oil level indicator
(11); if it is less than a quarter full, remove the battery from
the chainsaw and refill with the correct oil.
u Surrounding trees and obstacles including overhead
lines and underground drains.
11
(Original instructions)
ENGLISH
u The wind speed and direction.
When supported at both ends:
Pre-plan a safe exit from falling trees or branches. Make sure
that the exit route is clear of obstacles that would prevent or
hinder movement. Remember that wet grass and freshly cut
bark is slippery.
u First, cut one third down to avoid splintering and second,
cut up to meet the first cut.
When supported at one end:
u Do not attempt to fell trees where the tree diameter is
greater than the cutting length of the chainsaw.
u Cut a direction notch to determine the direction of fall.
u Make a horizontal cut to a depth of between 1/5th and
1/3rd of the diameter of the tree, perpendicular to the line
of fall at the base of the tree (fig. P).
u First cut one third up to avoid splintering and second, cut
down to prevent splintering.
When on a slope:
u Always stand on the uphill side.
u Make a second cut from above to intersect with the first
and make a notch of about 45°.
u Make a single horizontal felling cut from the other side 25
mm to 50 mm above the centre of the direction notch. (fig.
Q). Do not cut through to the direction notch, you could
lose control of the direction of fall.
When attempting to cut a log on the ground (fig. T):
u Secure the workpiece using chocks or wedges. The user
or a bystander should not steady the log by sitting or
standing on it. Make sure that the saw chain does not
contact the ground.
u Drive a wedge or wedges into the felling cut to open it and
drop the tree (fig. R).
When using a saw horse (fig. U):
This is strongly recommended whenever possible.
u Position the log in a stable position. Always cut on the
outside of the saw horse arms. Use clamps or straps to
secure the workpiece.
Pruning trees
Make sure that there are no local by-laws or regulations that
would prohibit or control the pruning of the tree limbs. Pruning
should only be undertaken by experienced users there is an
increased risk of the saw chain pinching and kick back.
Limbing (fig. V)
Removing the branches from a fallen tree. When limbing,
leave larger lower limbs to support the log off the ground.
Remove the small limbs in one cut. Branches under tension
should be cut from the bottom of the branch towards the top to
avoid binding the chain saw.
Trim limbs from opposite side keeping tree stem between you
and saw. Never make cuts with saw between your legs or
straddle the limb to be cut.
Before pruning consideration should be given to
conditions affecting the direction of fall including:
u The length and weight of the branch to be cut.
u Any unusual heavy limb structure or decay.
u Surrounding trees and obstacles including overhead.
u The wind speed and direction.
u The branch being intertwined with other branches.
The operator should consider access to the tree limb and the
direction of fall. The tree branch is liable to swing towards
the tree trunk. In addition to the user bystanders, objects and
property below the branch will be at risk.
u To avoid splintering, make the first cut in an upward direc-
tion to a maximum depth of one third the diameter of the
branch.
