Do not operate a chain saw with one hand!  
Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers en-  
circling the chain saw handles. Serious injury  
to the operator, helpers, bystanders, or any  
combination of these persons may result from  
one-handed operation. A chain saw is intend-  
ed for two-handed use.  
Always be aware of what you are doing when  
using the chain saw. Use common sense. Do  
not operate the chain saw when you are tired,  
ill, or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or  
medication.  
Stay alert and pay attention to what you are  
doing. Use common sense when using this  
unit.  
All chain saw service, other than the items  
listed in the operation and maintenance sec-  
tions, should be performed by your nearest  
Craftsman service dealer.  
Keep all parts of your body away from the  
saw chain when the unit is running.  
Always carry the chain saw by the front han-  
dle with the unit stopped and the guide bar  
and saw chain positioned to the rear. When  
transporting your chain saw, use the appro-  
priate chain cover.  
Never let anyone use your chain saw who  
has not received adequate instructions in its  
proper use. This applies to rentals as well as  
privately owned saws.  
Do not use in the rain, snow or wet condi-  
tions.  
Always maintain a proper stance. Do not  
overreach.  
Do not adapt your powerhead to a bow guide  
or use it to power any attachments or devices  
not listed for the saw.  
Do not cut vines and/or small underbrush.

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.  
Do not cut above shoulder height or overreach  
KIcKBAcK  
See Figures 1 - 3.  
WARNING: 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. The result is a lightning fast, reverse  
reaction which kicks the guide bar up and  
back toward the operator. If the saw chain is  
pinched along the top of the guide bar, the  
guide bar can be driven rapidly back toward  
the operator. Either of these reactions can  
cause loss of saw control which can result in  
serious injury. Do not rely exclusively upon  
the safety devices built into the saw. As a  
chain saw user, you should take several steps  
to keep your cutting jobs free from accident  
or injury.  
when cutting.  
Follow the sharpening and maintenance in-  
structions for the saw chain.  
Push and Pull - This reaction force is always  
opposite to the direction the chain is mov-  
ing where wood contact is made. Thus, the  
operator must be ready to control the PULL  
when cutting on the bottom edge of the bar,  
and PUSH when cutting along the top edge.  
See Figure 3.  
IN THE cUTTING/WORK AREA  
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a  
ladder, rooftop or scaffold; this is extremely  
dangerous.  
The following precautions should be fol-  
Keep ALL children, bystanders, visitors, and  
animals out of the work area while starting or  
cutting with the chain saw.  
lowed to minimize kickback:  
• Hold the saw firmly with both hands when  
the motor is running. Place your right hand  
on the rear handle and your left hand on the  
front handle with your thumbs and fingers  
encircling the chain saw handles. A firm grip  
together with a stiff left arm will help you  
maintain control of the saw if kickback oc-  
curs.  
• Make sure that the area in which you are cut-  
ting is free from obstructions. Do not let the  
nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch,  
fence, or any other obstruction that could be  
hit while you are operating the saw.  
• Always cut with the unit running at full speed.  
Fullysqueezethethrottletriggerandmaintain  
a steady cutting speed.  
• Use replacement parts such as low kickback  
chain and special guide bars that reduce the  
risks associated with rotational kickback.  
NOTE: The size of the work area depends on  
the job being performed as well as the size  
tree or work piece involved. For example,  
felling a tree requires a larger work area than  
making bucking cuts.  
Never start cutting until you have a clear work  
area, secure footing, and a planned retreat  
path from the falling tree. Cluttered area invite  
injuries.  
Do not expose the chain saw to rain.  
Do not use the chain saw in damp or wet  
locations.  
Do not use the chain saw near flammable liq-  
uids, gases, or in any type of explosive atmo-  
sphere.  
Use extreme caution when cutting small size  
brush and saplings, because slender mate-  
rial may catch the saw chain and be whipped  
toward you or pull you off balance.

GENERAL sAFETY RULEs  
When cutting a limb that is under tension, be  
UNDERsTANDING YOUR cHAIN sAW  
sAFETY DEVIcEs  
LOW KIcKBAcK sAW cHAIN  
alert for spring back so that you will not be  
struck when the tension in the wood fibers is  
released.  
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.  
Do not force the chain saw. The job can be  
performed better and safer at the rate for  
which it was intended.  
Always use the right product for your applica-  
tion. The chain saw should be used for cutting  
wood only. Never use the chain saw to cut  
plastic, masonry or non-wood building mate-  
rials.  
Low kickback saw chain is chain that has met the  
kickbackperformancerequirementsofANSIB175.1  
- 1991 (American National Standard for Power  
Tools - Gasoline-Powered Chain Saws-Safety  
Requirements) when tested on the representative  
sample of chain saws below 3.8 c.i.d. specified in  
ANSI B175.1 - 1991.  
Do not use the chain saw for purposes not  
intended.  
Store idle chain saw when not in use. Chain  
saw should be stored in a dry and high or  
locked area out of the reach of children.  
When storing chain saw, remove battery and  
place the chain cover on the bar and chain.  
Remove the battery pack from the chain saw  
before cleaning, servicing, storing, transport-  
ing, removing material from the unit, chang-  
ing accessories such as the bar and chain, or  
when not in use.  
As saw chains are sharpened during their useful  
life, they lose some of the low kickback qualities  
and extra caution should be used.  
GUIDE BARs  
Generally, guide bars with small radius tips have  
somewhat lower kickback potentials.  
When making a replacement, be sure to order one  
of the Craftsman bars listed for the saw in this  
operator’s manual.

sPEcIFIc sAFETY RULEs  
Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack.  
BATTERY sAFETY  
Do not use a battery pack or charger that  
has been dropped or received a sharp blow.  
A damaged battery is subject to explosion.  
Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged  
battery immediately.  
Battery operated units do not have to be  
plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore,  
they are always in operating condition. Be  
aware of possible hazards even when unit is  
not operating.  
Batteries can explode in the presence of a  
source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To re-  
duce the risk of serious personal injury, never  
use any cordless product in the presence of  
open flame. An exploded battery pack can  
propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush  
with water immediately.  
Do not charge unit in a damp or wet location.  
Following this rule will reduce the risk of elec-  
tric shock.  
For best results, your battery unit should be  
charged in a location where the temperature  
is more than 50°F but less than 100°F. Do not  
store outside or in vehicles.  
Under extreme usage or temperature con-  
ditions, battery pack leakage may occur. If  
liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash  
immediately with soap and water, then neu-  
tralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid  
gets into your eyes, flush them with clean  
water for at least 10 minutes, then seek im-  
mediate medical attention.  
Remove the battery pack from the chain saw  
before cleaning, servicing, storing, transport-  
ing, removing material from the unit, chang-  
ing accessories such as the bar and chain, or  
when not in use.  
A battery pack must be recharged only with  
the specified charger for the battery pack. A  
charger that may be suitable for one type of  
battery pack may create a risk of fire when  
used with another battery pack. Use battery  
pack only with charger listed.  
Use battery only with charger listed.

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.  
WARNING: Never use a left-handed (cross-  
handed) grip, or any stance which would place  
your body or arm across the chain line.  
Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of  
the cut.  
Maintain a proper grip on the saw whenever  
the unit is running. The fingers should encircle  
the handle and the thumb is wrapped under  
the handlebar. This grip is least likely to  
be broken (by a kickback or other sudden  
reaction of the saw). Any grip in which the  
thumb and fingers are on the same side of the  
handle, is dangerous because a slight kick of  
the saw can cause loss of control.  
WORK AREA PREcAUTIONs  
Cut only wood or materials made from wood,  
no sheet metal, no plastics, no masonry, no  
non-wood building materials.  
Never allow children to operate the saw.  
Allow no person to use this chain saw who  
has not read this Operator’s Manual or  
received adequate instructions for the safe  
and proper use of this chain saw.  
When felling a tree, keep everyone - helpers,  
bystanders, children, and animals - a safe  
distance from the cutting area. During felling  
operations, the safe distance should be a  
least twice the height of the largest trees in  
the felling area. During bucking operations,  
keep a minimum distance of 15 feet between  
workers.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.  
WARNING: Do not operate the throttle  
trigger 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 saw.  
PROPER cUTTING sTANcE  
See Figure 11.  
Weight should be balanced with both feet on  
solid ground.  
Keep left arm with elbow locked in a “straight  
arm” position to withstand any kickback  
force.  
Always cut with both feet on solid ground to  
prevent being pulled off balance.  
Your body should always be to the left of the  
chain line.  
Do not cut above shoulder height, as a saw  
held higher is difficult to control against  
kickback forces.  
Do not fell trees near electrical wires  
or buildings. Leave this operation for  
professionals.  
Thumb should be on underside of handlebar.  
BAsIc cUTTING PROcEDURE  
Practice cutting a few small logs using the following  
technique to get the “feel” of using the saw before  
you begin a major sawing operation.  
Cut only when visibility and light are adequate  
Take the proper stance in front of the wood  
for you to see clearly.  
with the saw off.

OPERATION  
Before any cuts are started, pick your escape  
TREE FELLING  
route (or routes in case the intended route is  
blocked); clear the immediate area around the  
tree and make sure there are no obstructions  
in your planned path of retreat. Clear path  
of safe retreat approximately 135° from  
planned line of fall. The retreat path should  
extend back and diagonally to the rear of the  
expected line of fall. See Figure 12.  
See Figures 12-16.  
Unusual Hazardous Tree Felling conditions  
Do not fell trees during periods of high wind or  
heavy precipitation. Wait to do your cutting until  
the hazard has ended.  
WARNING: Do not cut down trees having  
an extreme lean or large trees that have rotten  
limbs, loose bark, or hollow trunks. Have these  
trees pushed or dragged down with heavy  
equipment, then cut them up.  
Before felling is started, 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.  
The chain saw operator should keep on the  
uphill side of the terrain as the tree is likely to  
roll or slide downhill after it is felled.  
WARNING: Electrocution hazard. Do  
not cut trees or branches near power lines or  
electrical wires. Contact with power lines or live  
electrical wires will result in serious personal  
injury or possible death.  
Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails,  
staples, and wire from the tree where felling  
cuts are to be made.  
WARNING: Do not cut trees or branches  
near buildings, which may result in serious  
injuries or property damage.  
Notched Undercut. Cut a notch about 1/3  
the diameter of the tree, perpendicular to the  
direction of fall. Make the cuts of the notch so  
they intersect at a right angle to the line of fall.  
This notch should be cleaned out to leave a  
straight line. To keep the weight of the wood  
off the saw, always make the lower cut of the  
notch before the upper cut. See Figure 14.  
Felling Backcut. The backcut is always made  
level and horizontal, and at a minimum of 2  
in. above the horizontal cut of the notch. See  
Figures 14 - 15.  
WARNING: Check the tree for damaged  
or dead branches that could fall and hit you  
during felling.  
WARNING: Periodically glance at the top  
of the tree during the backcut to assure the tree  
is going to fall in the desired direction.  
WARNING: If the tree starts to fall in the  
wrong direction, or if the saw gets caught or  
hung up during the fall, leave the saw and save  
yourself!  
Never cut through to the notch. Always  
leave a band of wood between the notch  
and backcut (approximately 2 in. or 1/10 the  
diameter of the tree). This is called “hinge” or  
“hingewood.” It controls the fall of the tree  
and prevents slipping or twisting or shoot-back  
of the tree off the stump. See Figures 14 - 15.  
On large diameter trees, stop the back cut  
before it is deep enough for the tree to either  
fall or settle back on the stump. Then insert  
soft wooden or plastic wedges into the cut so  
they do not touch the chain. The wedges can  
be driven in, little by little, to help jack the tree  
over. See Figure 16.  
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.

OPERATION  
When the log is supported on one end, cut 1/3  
As tree starts to fall, stop the chain saw  
and put it down immediately. Retreat along  
the cleared path, but watch the action in  
case something falls your way. Be alert for  
overhead limbs or branches that may fall and  
watch your footing.  
the diameter from the underside or underbucking.  
Then make the finishing cut by overbucking to  
meet the first cut.  
As the log is being cut, it will tend to bend. The  
saw can become pinched or hung in the log if you  
make the first cut deeper than 1/3 of the diameter  
of the log.  
Give special attention to logs under stress to  
prevent the bar and chain from pinching.  
When bucking on a slope, always stand on the  
uphill side of the log as shown in figure 18. When  
“cutting through,” to maintain complete control  
of the chain saw, release the cutting pressure near  
the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the  
chain saw handles. Do not let the chain contact  
the ground. After completing the cut, wait for the  
saw chain to stop before you move the chain saw.  
Always stop the motor before moving from tree  
to tree.  
WARNING: Never cut through to the notch  
when making a backcut. The hinge controls  
the fall of the tree, this is the section of wood  
between the notch and backcut.  
BUcKING  
See Figures 17 - 20.  
Bucking is the term used for cutting a fallen tree  
to the desired log length.  
Always make sure your footing is secure and  
your weight is distributed evenly on both feet.  
Cut only one log at a time.  
Support small logs on a saw horse or another  
TYPEs OF cUTTING UsED  
log while bucking.  
See Figure 20.  
Keep a clear cutting area. Make sure that no  
objects can contact the guide bar nose and  
chain during cutting, this can cause kickback.  
Refer to Precautions Against Kickback  
earlier in this manual.  
OVERBUcKING  
Begin on the top side of the log with the bottom  
of the saw against the log; exert light pressure  
downward. Note that the saw will tend to pull  
away from you.  
When bucking on a slope, always stand  
on the uphill side of the log. To maintain  
complete control of the chain saw when  
cutting through the log, release the cutting  
pressure near the end of the cut without  
relaxing your grip on the chain saw handles.  
Do not let the chain contact the ground. After  
completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to  
stop before you move the chain saw. Always  
stop the motor before moving from tree to  
tree.  
Sometimes it is impossible to avoid pinching  
(with just standard cutting techniques) or  
difficult to predict which way a log will settle  
when cut. To avoid pinching while cutting,  
rotate or move the log so that the pinch is  
eliminated.  
UNDERBUcKING  
Begin on the under side of the log with the top  
of the saw against the log; exert light pressure  
upward. During underbucking, the saw will tend  
to push back at you. Be prepared for this reaction  
and hold the saw firmly to maintain control.  
WARNING: Never climb into a tree to limb  
or prune. Do not stand on ladders, platforms, a  
log, or in any position which can cause you to  
lose your balance or control of the saw.  
LIMBING  
See Figure 21.  
Limbing is removing branches from a fallen tree.  
Work slowly, keeping both hands on the  
chain saw with a firm grip. Always make sure  
your footing is secure and your weight is  
distributed evenly on both feet.  
BUcKING LOGs UNDER sTREss  
See Figures 19 - 20.  
When the log is supported along its entire length,  
it should be cut from the top or overbucking.  
Leave the larger support limbs under the tree  
to keep the tree off the ground while cutting.  
14 - English  
OPERATION  
Limbs should be cut one at a time. Remove Your second cut should overbuck to drop the

branch off.  
Now make your finishing cut smoothly and  
neatly against the main member so the bark  
will grow back to seal the wound.  
Branches under tension should be cut from  
the bottom up to avoid binding the chain saw.  
Keep the tree between you and the chain saw  
while limbing. Cut from the side of the tree  
opposite the branch you are cutting.  
WARNING: If the limbs to be  
pruned are above shoulder height, hire  
a professional to perform the pruning.  
PRUNING  
See Figure 22.  
Pruning is trimming limbs from a live tree.  
sPRINGPOLEs  
See Figure 23.  
Work slowly, keeping both hands on the  
chain saw with a firm grip. Always make sure  
your footing is secure and your weight is  
distributed evenly on both feet.  
Do not cut from a ladder, this is extremely  
dangerous. Leave this operation for  
professionals.  
Do not cut above shoulder height as a saw  
held higher is difficult to control against  
kickback.  
A springpole is any log, branch, rooted stump, or  
sapling which 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. Watch out for springpoles, they  
are dangerous.  
WARNING: Springpoles are dangerous and  
could strike the operator, causing the operator  
to lose control of the chain saw. This could  
result in severe or fatal injury to the operator.  
When pruning trees it is important not to  
make the finishing cut next to the main limb  
or trunk until you have cut off the limb further  
out to reduce the weight. This prevents  
stripping the bark from the main member.  
Underbuck the branch 1/3 through for your  
first cut.

HOW TO sHARPEN THE cUTTERs  
During normal saw operation, the temperature  
of the chain will increase. The drive links of a  
correctly tensioned warm chain will hang ap-  
proximately .050 in. out of the bar groove.  
NOTE: New chain tends to stretch, check chain  
tension frequently and tension as required.  
See Figures 33 - 34.  
Be careful to file all cutters to the specified angles  
and to the same length, as fast cutting can be  
obtained only when all cutters are uniform.  
Wear gloves for protection. Properly tension  
the chain prior to sharpening. Refer to chain  
Tension section earlier in this manual. Do all  
of your filing at the mid-point of the bar.  
cAUTION: Chain tensioned while warm, may  
be too tight upon cooling. Check the “cold ten-  
sion” before next use.  
Use a 5/32 in. diameter round file and holder.  
Keep the file level with the top plate of the  
tooth. Do not let the file dip or rock.

Put a few firm strokes on every tooth. File all  
left hand cutters in one direction. Then move  
to the other side and file the right hand cut-  
ters in the opposite direction. Occasionally  
remove filings from the file with a wire brush.  
Use only low-kickback chain on this saw. This  
fast-cutting chain will provide kickback reduction  
when properly maintained.  
For smooth and fast cutting, chain needs to be  
maintained properly. The chain requires sharpen-  
ing when the wood chips are small and powdery,  
the chain must be forced through the wood during  
cutting, or the chain cuts to one side. During main-  
tenance of your chain, consider the following:  
WARNING: Improper chain sharpening  
increases the potential of kickback.  
WARNING: Failure to replace or repair  
damaged chain can cause serious injury.  
WARNING: The saw chain is very sharp,  
always wear protective gloves when performing  
maintenance to the chain.  
Improper filing angle of the side plate can  
increase the risk of a severe kickback.  
Raker (depth gauge) clearance. Too low  
increases the potential for kickback. Not low  
enough decreases cutting ability.  
If cutter teeth have hit hard objects such  
as nails and stones, or have been abraded  
by mud or sand on the wood, have service  
dealer sharpen chain.  
NOTE: Inspect the drive sprocket for wear or dam-  
age when replacing the chain. If signs of wear or

Depth gauges must be adjusted with the flat file in  
the same direction the adjoining cutter was filed  
with the round file. Use care not to contact cutter  
face with flat file when adjusting depth gauges.  
WARNING: Remove the battery pack and  
make sure the chain has stopped before you  
do any work or making any adjustments on the  
saw. Failure to do so may result in accidental  
starting and possible serious injury.
