INTRODUCTION  
Dear Customer,  
Congratulations on your choice to buy a Husqvarna product! Husqvarna is based on a tradition that dates back to 1689,  
when the Swedish King Karl XI ordered the construction of a factory on the banks of the Husqvarna River, for production  
of muskets. The location was logical, since water power was harnessed from the Huskvarna River to create the water-  
powered plant. During the more than 300 years in existence, the Husqvarna factory has produced a lot of different  
products, from wood stoves to modern kitchen appliances, sewing machines, bicycles, motorcycles etc. In 1956, the first  
motor driven lawn mowers appeared, followed by chain saws in 1959, and it is within this area Husqvarna is working  
today.  
Today Husqvarna is one of the leading manufacturers in the world of forest and garden products, with quality as our  
highest priority. The business concept is to develop, manufacture and market motor-driven products for forestry and  
gardening, as well as for the building and construction industry. Husqvarnas aim is also to be at the front edge for  
ergonomics, usability, security and environmental protection. That is the reason why we have developed many different  
features to add to our products within these areas.  
We are convinced that you will appreciate with great satisfaction the quality and performance of our product for a very  
long time to come. The purchase of one of our products gives you access to professional help with repairs and service  
whenever this may be necessary. If the retailer who sells your machine is not one of our authorised dealers, ask for the  
address of your nearest service workshop.  
It is our wish that you will be satisfied with your product and that it will be your companion for a long time. Think of this  
operators manual as a valuable document. By following its content (usage, service, maintenance, etc), the life span and  
the second-hand value of the machine can be extended. If you sell this machine, make sure that the operators manual  
is passed on to the buyer.  
Thank you for using a Husqvarna product.  
Husqvarna AB has a policy of continuous product development and therefore reserves the right to modify the design and  
appearance of products without prior notice.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
moment of inattention while operating power tools  
may result in serious personal injury.  
General power tool safety  
warnings  
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.  
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and  
all instructions. Failure to follow the  
warnings and instructions may result in  
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.  
!
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.  
IMPORTANT! Save all warnings and instructions for  
future reference. The term ”power tool” in the warnings  
refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or  
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.  
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.  
Work area safety  
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark  
areas invite accidents.  
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and  
balance at all times. This enables better control of  
the power tool in unexpected situations.  
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.  
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.  
Keep children and bystanders away while  
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you  
to lose control.  
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.  
Electrical safety  
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 the risk of electric shock.  
The vibration emission during actual use of the power  
tool can differ from the declared total value depending  
on the ways in which the tool is used. Operators  
should identify safety measures to protect themselves  
that are based on an estimation of exposure in the  
actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of  
the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is  
switched off and when it is running idle in addition to  
the trigger).  
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.  
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet  
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase  
the risk of electric shock.  
Power tool use and care  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
If operating a power tool in a damp location is  
unaviodable, use a residual current device (RCD)  
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of  
electric shock.  
Personal safety  
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.  
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

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or  
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool  
” live” and could give the operator an electric shock.  
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and  
any other condition that may affect the power  
tool´s operation. If damaged, have the power tool  
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by  
poorly maintained power tools.  
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.  
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly  
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are  
less likely to bind and are easier to control.  
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  
chain saw.  
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.  
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.  
Battery tool use and care  
Use extreme caution when cutting brush and  
saplings. The slender material may catch the saw  
chain and be whipped forward toward you or pull you  
off balance.  
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.  
Carry the chain saw by the handle with the chain  
saw switched off and away from your body.When  
transporting or storing the chain saw always fit  
the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chain  
saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact  
with the moving saw chain.  
Use power tools only with specifically designated  
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may  
create a risk of injury and fire.  
When a 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.  
Follow the instruction for lubricating, chain  
tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly  
tensioned or lubricated saw chain may either brake or  
increase the chance of kickback.  
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 irritations  
or burns.  
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and  
grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing  
loss of control.  
Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes  
not intended. For example: do not use chain saw  
for cutting plastic, masonry or nonwood building  
materials. Use of the chain saw for operations  
different than intendedcould result in a hazardous  
situation.  
Service  
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.  
Causes and operator prevention of  
kickback  
Chain saw safety warnings  
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 control of the saw  
which could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely  
exclusively upon the safety devises built into your saw. As  
a chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep  
your cutting jobs free from accident or injury. Kickback is  
a result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating  
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking  
proper precautions as given below:  
Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain  
when the chain saw is operating. Before you start  
the chain saw, make sure the saw chain is not  
contacting anything. A moment of inattention while  
operating chain saws may cause entanglement of you  
clothing or body with the saw chain.  
Always hold the chain saw with your right hand on  
the rear handle and your left hand on the front  
handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand  
configuration increases the risk of personal injury and  
should never be done.  
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surface  
only, because the saw chain may contact hidden  
wiring or its own cord. Saw chain contacting a ”live”

This top handle chainsaw is designed specifically for tree  
surgery and maintenance in the tree. Due to the special  
compact handle design (closely spaced handles), there is  
an increased risk of losing control. For this reason these  
special chainsaws should be used only for work in a tree  
by persons who are trained in special cutting and working  
techniques and who are properly secured (lift bucket,  
ropes, safety harness). Regular chainsaws (with wider  
spaced handles) are recommended for all other cutting  
work at ground level.  
Work is constantly in progress to improve the design and  
technology - improvements that increase your safety and  
efficiency. Visit your dealer regularly to see whether you  
can benefit from new features that have been introduced.

The warning indicator (3) flashes if the chain brake is  
activated or if there is a risk of overload. The overload  
protection temporarily deactivates the machine.When the  
machine is restored to normal temperature it is again  
ready for use. Solid light indicates need for service.  
This movement activates a spring-loaded mechanism  
that stops the drive sprocket.  
(3)  
The front hand guard is not designed solely to activate  
the chain brake. Another important feature is that it  
reduces the risk of your left hand hitting the chain if  
you lose grip of the front handle.  
(2)  
(1)  
Automatic switch off functionality  
The machine is equipped with an automatic shutdown  
feature that deactivates the machine if not used. The  
machine will deactivate after 2 minutes.  
Use the chain brake as a ”parking brake” when  
starting and when moving over short distances, to  
reduce the risk of moving chain accidentally hitting  
your leg or anyone or anything close by.  
Chain brake and front hand guard  
Your chain saw is equipped with a chain brake that is  
designed to stop the chain if you get a kickback.The chain  
brake reduces the risk of accidents, but only you can  
prevent them.  
Take care when using your saw and make sure the  
kickback zone of the bar never touches any object.  
To release the chain brake pull the front hand guard  
backwards, towards the front handle.  
The chain brake (A) can either be activated manually  
(by your left hand) or automatically by the inertia  
release mechanism.  
Kickback can be very sudden and violent. Most  
kickbacks are minor and do not always activate the  
chain brake. If this happens you should hold the chain  
saw firmly and not let go.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

There are also certain positions in which your hand  
cannot reach the front hand guard to activate the chain  
brake; for example, when the saw chain is held in felling  
position.  
or automatically by the inertia release mechanism,  
depends on the force of the kickback and the position  
of the chain saw in relation to the object that the  
kickback zone of the bar strikes.  
Will my inertia activated chain brake  
always activate during kickback in the  
event of a kickback?  
If you get a violent kickback while the kickback zone of  
the bar is farthest away from you the chain brake is  
designed to be activated by the inertia in the kickback  
direction.  
No. First your brake must be in working order. Second the  
kickback must be strong enough to activate the chain  
brake. If the chain brake is too sensitive it would activate  
all the time which would be a nuisance.  
Will my chain brake always protect me  
from injury in the event of a kickback?  
No. First, the chain brake must be in working order to  
provide the intended protection. Second, it must be  
activated during the kickback as described above to stop  
the saw chain.Third, the chain brake may be activated but  
if the bar is too close to you the brake might not have  
enough time to slow down and stop the chain before the  
chain saw hits you.  
If the kickback is less violent or the kickback zone of  
the bar is closer to you the chain brake will be  
activated manually by the movement of your left hand.  
Only you and proper working technique can eliminate  
kickback and its danger.  
Throttle lockout  
The power trigger lockout is designed to prevent  
accidental operation of the power trigger.When you press  
the power trigger lockout (A) (i.e when you grasp the  
handle) it releases the power trigger (B). When you  
release the handle the power trigger and the power trigger  
lockout both move back to their original positions.  
In the felling position the left hand is in a position that  
makes manual activation of the chain brake  
impossible. With this type of grip, that is when the left  
hand is placed so that it cannot affect the movement  
of the front hand guard, the chain brake can only be  
activated by the inertia action.  
A
B
Chain catcher  
Will my hand always activate the chain  
brake during a kickback?  
The chain catcher is designed to catch the chain if it snaps  
or jumps off. This should not happen if the chain is  
properly tensioned (see instructions under the heading  
Assembly) and if the bar and chain are properly serviced  
No. It takes a certain force to move the hand guard  
forward. If your hand only lightly touches the front guard  
or slips over it, the force may not be enough to trigger the  
chain brake.You should also maintain a firm grip of the  
chain saw handles while working. If you do and  
experience a kickback, your hand may never leave the  
front handle and will not activate the chain brake, or the  
chain brake will only activate after the saw has swung  
around a considerable distance. In such instances, the  
chain brake might not have enough time to stop the saw  
chain before it touches you.

Bar groove width (inches/mm). The groove in the bar  
must match the width of the chain drive links.  
The only way to avoid kickback is to make sure that the  
kickback zone of the bar never touches anything.  
By using cutting equipment with ”built-in” kickback  
reduction and keeping the chain sharp and well-  
maintained you can reduce the effects of kickback.

gauge. This will help you obtain the maximum kickback  
reduction and cutting performance from your chain.  
See instructions under the heading Technical data for  
information about sharpening your chain.  
The cutting part of the chain is called the cutter and  
consists of a cutting tooth (A) and the depth gauge  
(B). The cutters cutting depth is determined by the  
difference in height between the two (depth gauge  
setting).  
WARNING! Departure from the  
sharpening instructions considerably  
increases the risk of kickback.  
!
Sharpening cutting teeth  
Li-ion  
To sharpen cutting teeth you will need a round file and a  
file gauge. See instructions under the heading Technical  
data for information on the size of file and gauge that are  
recommended for the chain fitted to your chain saw.  
When you sharpen a cutting tooth there are four important  
factors to remember.  
1
Filing angle  
Check that the chain is correctly tensioned. A slack  
chain will move sideways, making it more difficult to  
sharpen correctly.  
2
Cutting angle

4
File position  
Always file cutting teeth from the inside face. Reduce  
the pressure on the return stroke. File all the teeth on  
one side first, then turn the chain saw over and file the  
teeth on the other side.  
Round file diameter  
It is very difficult to sharpen a chain correctly without the  
right equipment. We recommend that you use our file  
File all the teeth to the same length. When the length  
of the cutting teeth is reduced to 4 mm (5/32") the  
chain is worn out and should be replaced.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
General advice on adjusting depth gauge setting  
Tensioning the chain  
When you sharpen the cutting tooth (A) the depth  
gauge setting (C) will decrease. To maintain optimal  
cutting performance the depth gauge (B) has to be  
filed down to achieve the recommended depth gauge  
setting. See instructions under the heading Technical  
data to find the correct depth gauge setting for your  
particular chain.  
Li-ion  
WARNING! A slack chain may jump off  
and cause serious or even fatal injury.  
!
!
WARNING! Always remove the battery  
before any assembly, maintenance and/  
or checking is done on the machine.  
The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is  
therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up  
the slack.  
WARNING! The risk of kickback is  
increased if the depth gauge setting is  
too large!  
!
Check the chain tension every time you refill with saw  
chain oil. NOTE! A new chain has a running-in period  
during which you should check the tension more  
frequently.  
Adjustment of depth gauge setting  
Li-ion  
Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight  
that you cannot pull it round freely by hand.  
The cutting teeth should be newly sharpened before  
adjusting the depth gauge setting. We recommend  
that you adjust the depth gauge setting every third  
time you sharpen the cutting teeth. NOTE! This  
recommendation assumes that the length of the  
cutting teeth is not reduced excessively.  
You will need a flat file and a depth gauge tool. We  
recommend that you use our depth gauge tool to  
acheive the correct depth gauge setting and bevel for  
the depth gauge.  
Loosen the bar nut that holds the clutch cover and  
chain brake. Use the combination spanner.  
Place the depth gauge tool over the chain. Detailed  
information regarding the use of the depth gauge tool,  
will be found on the package for the depth gauge tool.  
Use the flat file to file off the tip of the depth gauge that  
protrudes through the depth gauge tool. The depth  
gauge setting is correct when you no longer feel  
resistance as you draw the file along the depth gauge  
tool.  
Raise the tip of the bar and stretch the chain by  
tightening the chain tensioning screw using the  
combination spanner. Tighten the chain until it does  
not sag from the underside of the bar.  
Use the combination spanner to tighten the bar nut  
while holding up the tip of the bar. Check that you can

Checking chain lubrication  
is no slack on the underside of the bar.  
Check the chain lubrication every third battery charge.  
See instructions under the heading Lubricating the  
bar tip sprocket. See instructions under the heading  
Lubricating the bar tip sprocket.  
Aim the tip of the bar at a light coloured surface about  
20 cm (8 inches) away. After 1 minute running at 3/4  
throttle you should see a distinct line of oil on the light  
surface.  
The position of the chain tensioning screw on our chain  
saws varies from model to model. See instructions under  
the heading What is what? to find out where it is on your  
model.  
Lubricating cutting equipment  
WARNING! Poor lubrication of cutting  
equipment may cause the chain to snap,  
which could lead to serious, even fatal  
injuries.  
!
Chain oil  
Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain  
and also maintain its flow characteristics regardless of  
whether it is warm summer or cold winter weather.  
If the chain lubrication is not working:  
Never use waste oil! Using waste oil can be dangerous  
to you and damage the machine and environment.  
Check that the oil channel in the bar is not obstructed.  
Clean if necessary.  
IMPORTANT! When using vegetable based saw chain  
oil, dismantle and clean the groove in the bar and saw  
chain before long-term storage.Otherwise there is a risk  
of the saw chain oil oxidizing, which will result in the saw  
chain becoming stiff and the bar tip sprocket jamming.  
Filling with chain oil  
Check that the groove in the edge of the bar is clean.  
Clean if necessary.  
All our chain saws have an automatic chain lubrication  
system. On some models the oil flow is also  
adjustable.  
Check that the bar tip sprocket turns freely and that  
the lubricating hole in the tip sprocket is not blocked.  
Clean and lubricate if necessary.  
The saw chain oil tank is designed to last aproximately  
three battery charges. However, this safety feature  
requires that you use the right sort of chain oil (if the  
chain oil is to thin it will last shorter time).  
Never use waste oil. This results in damage to the oil  
pump, the bar and the chain.  
It is important to use oil of the right grade (suitable  
viscosity range) to suit the air temperature.  
If the chain lubrication system is still not working after  
carrying out the above checks and associated measures  
you should contact your service agent.  
In temperatures below 0°C (32°F) some oils become  
too viscous.This can overload the oil pump and result  
in damage to the oil pump components.  
Contact your service agent when choosing chain oil.

During tree maintenance work above ground level, the  
working area should always be secured and marked  
out with signs, tape or the like. The person(s) on the  
ground should always inform the person(s) working  
above before they enter the secure working area.  
Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as  
dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc.  
Working in bad weather is tiring and often brings  
added risks, such as icy ground, lightning,  
unpredictable felling direction, etc.  
Take great care when removing small branches and  
avoid cutting bushes (i.e.cutting many small branches  
at the same time). Small branches can be grabbed by  
the chain and thrown back at you, causing serious  
injury.

When you put the chain saw on the ground, lock the  
saw chain using the chain brake and ensure you have  
a constant view of the machine. Deactivate the  
machine and remove the battery before leaving your  
chain saw for any length of time.  
General rules  
1
If you understand what kickback is and how it happens  
then you can reduce or eliminate the element of  
surprise. By being prepared you reduce the risk.  
Kickback is usually quite mild, but it can sometimes be  
very sudden and violent.  
6
Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the  
area around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks,  
branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move  
suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping  
ground.  
2
Always hold the chain saw firmly with your right hand  
on the top handle and your left hand on the front  
handle. Wrap your fingers and thumbs around the  
handles.You should use this grip whether you are  
right-handed or left-handed. This grip minimises the  
effect of kickback and lets you keep the chain saw  
under control. Do not let go of the handles!  
7
Take great care when cutting a tree that is in tension.  
A tree that is in tension may spring back to its normal  
position before or after being cut. If you position  
yourself incorrectly or make the cut in the wrong place  
the tree may hit you or the machine and cause you to  
lose control. Both situations can cause serious  
personal injury.  
3
Most kickback accidents happen during limbing.Make  
sure you are standing firmly and that there is nothing  
in the way that might make you trip or lose your  
balance.  
Lack of concentration can lead to kickback if the  
kickback zone of the bar accidentally touches a  
branch, nearby tree or some other object.  
WARNING! Sometimes chips get stuck in  
the drive system causing the saw chain

to jam. Always deactivate the machine  
and remove the battery before any  
cleaning.  
Have control over the workpiece. If the pieces you  
intend to cut are small and light, they can jam in the  
saw chain and be thrown towards you. Even if this

keep your working area safe.  
risk that the chain saw will move so far backwards that  
only the kickback zone of the bar is in contact with the  
tree, which will lead to a kickback.  
4
Never use the chain saw above shoulder height  
and try not to cut with the tip of the bar. Never use  
the chain saw one-handed!  
Cutting with the bottom edge of the bar, i.e. from the  
top of the object downwards, is known as cutting on  
the pull stroke. In this case the chain saw pulls itself  
towards the tree and the front edge of the chain saw  
body rests naturally on the trunk when cutting. Cutting  
on the pull stroke gives the operator better control over  
the chain saw and the position of the kickback zone.  
5
6
Always use a fast cutting speed, i.e. full throttle.  
9
Follow the instructions on sharpening and maintaining  
your bar and chain. When you replace the bar and  
chain use only combinations that are recommended  
by us. See instructions under the headings Cutting  
equipment and Technical data.  
If you have to cut branches or the like that are above  
shoulder height, a working platform or scaffold tower  
is recommended.  
Working with tree service chain-saws  
from a rope and harness  
This chapter sets out working practices to reduce the risk  
of injury from tree service chainsaws when working at  
height from a rope and harness. While it may form the  
basis of guidance and training literature, it should not be  
regarded as a substitute for formal training.  
General requirements working at height  
Operators of tree service chainsaws working at height  
from a rope and harness should never work alone. A  
competent ground worker trained in appropriate  
emergency procedures should assist them.  
Operators of tree service chainsaws for this work should  
be trained in general safe climbing and work positioning  
techniques and shall properly equipped with harnesses,  
ropes, strops, karabiners and other equipment for  
maintaining secure and safe working positions for both  
themselves and the saw.  
7
Take great care when you cut with the top edge of the  
bar, i.e. when cutting from the underside of the object.  
This is known as cutting on the push stroke.The chain  
tries to push the chain saw back towards the user. If  
the saw chain is jamming, the saw may be pushed  
back at you.  
Preparing to use the saw in the tree  
The chain saw should be checked by the ground worker  
and the chain brake should be engaged before it is sent  
up to the operator in the tree. The chain saw should be  
fitted with a suitable strop for attaching to the operator’s  
harness:

WORKING TECHNIQUES

hip level when cutting horizontal sections.  
saw.  
solar plexus level when cutting vertical sections.  
Where the operator is working close into vertical stems  
with a low lateral forces on their work position, then a good  
footing may be all that is needed to maintain a secure  
work position. However as operators move away from the  
stem, they will need to take steps to remove or counteract  
the increasing lateral forces by, for example, a re-direct of  
the main line via a supplementary anchor point or using  
an adjustable strop direct from the harness to a  
supplementary anchor point.  
b) provide suitable karabiners to allow indirect (i.e. via the  
strop) and direct attachment (i.e. at the attachment point  
on the saw) of saw to the operators harness.  
Gaining a good footing at the working position can be  
assisted by use of a temporary foot stirrup created from  
an endless sling.  
Starting the saw in the tree  
The chain brake should always be engaged when  
lowering a machine onto its strop. The operator should  
always check that the battery is fully charged before  
undertaking critical cuts.  
One-hand use of the chainsaw  
CAUTION! The belt eyelet is not dimensioned for use with  
a so-called safety rope. Use the rope eyelet for this  
purpose.  
Operators should never use a chain saw onehanded.  
Operators should never:  
c) ensure the saw is securely attached when it is being  
sent up to the operator.

d) ensure the saw is secured to the harness before it is

‘hold and cut’ sections.  
attempt to catch falling sections.  
The saw should only be attached to the recommended  
attachment points on the harness. These may be at mid-  
point (front or rear) or at the sides. Where possible  
attaching the saw to centre rear mid-point will keep it clear  
of climbing lines and support its weight centrally down the  
operator’s spine.  
Cut in the tree when he/she is only secured with one  
rope, always use 2 secured lines.  
check condition of harness, belt and ropes at regular  
frequent intervals.  
Freeing a trapped saw  
When moving the saw from any attachment point to  
another, operators should ensure it is secured in the new  
position before releasing it from the previous attachment  
point.  
If the saw should become trapped during cutting,  
operators should:  
switch off the saw and attach it securely to the tree  
inboard (i.e. towards the truck side) of the cut or to a  
separate tool line.  
Using the chainsaw in the tree  
An analysis of accidents with these saws during tree  
service operations shows the primary cause as being  
inappropriate one-handed use of the saw. In the vast  
majority of accidents, operators fail to adopt a secure  
work position witch allows them to hold both handles of  
the saw. This results in an increased risk of injury due to:  
pull the saw from the kerf whilst lifting the branch as  
necessary.  
if necessary, use a handsaw or second chain saw to  
release the trapped saw by cutting a minimum of 30  
cm away from the trapped saw.  
Whether a handsaw or a chainsaw is used to free a stuck  
saw, the release cuts should always be outboard (toward  
the tips of the branch), in order to prevent the saw being  
taken with the section and further complicating the  
situation.  
not having a firm grip on the saw if it kicks back.  
a lack of control of the saw such that it is more liable  
to contact climbing lines and operators body  
(particularly the left hand and arm)  
loosing control from insecure work position resulting  
in contact with the saw (unexpected movement during  
operation of the saw)  
Securing the work position for two-handed use  
To allow the operator to hold the saw with both hands,  
they should as general rule, aim for secure work position  
where they are operating the saw at:

WORKING TECHNIQUES  
Two factors decide whether the chain will jam or the object  
Basic cutting technique  
that you are cutting will split: the first is how the object is  
supported before and after cutting, and the second is  
whether it is in tension.  
WARNING! Never use a chain saw by  
holding it with one hand. A chain saw is  
not safely controlled with one hand; you  
can cut yourself. Always have a secure,  
firm grip around the handles with both  
hands.  
!
In most cases you can avoid these problems by cutting in  
two stages; from the top and from the bottom.You need to  
support the object so that it will not trap the chain or split  
during cutting.

Always use full throttle when cutting!  
pull the machine free. If you do you may  
be injured by the saw chain when the  
machine suddenly brakes free. Use a  
lever to open up the cut and free the  
machine.  
Let go of the power trigger after every cut (running the  
motor for too long at full power without any load, i.e.  
without any resistance from the chain during cutting,  
can lead to serious damage to the motor).  
Cutting from above = Cutting on the pull stroke.  
Cutting from below = Cutting on the push stroke.  
The following instructions describe how to handle the  
commonest situations you are likely to encounter when  
using a chain saw.  
Cutting on the push stroke increases the risk of kickback.  
See instructions under the heading How to avoid  
kickback.  
Cutting  
The log is lying on the ground. There is little risk of the  
chain jamming or the object splitting. However there is a  
risk that the chain will touch the ground when you finish  
the cut.  
Terms  
Cutting = General term for cutting through wood.  
Limbing = Cutting branches off a felled tree.  
Splitting = When the object you are cutting breaks off  
before the cut is complete.  
There are five important factors you should consider  
before making a cut:  
Cut all the way through the log from above. Avoid letting  
the chain touch the ground as you finish the cut. Maintain  
full throttle but be prepared for what might happen.  
1
Make sure the cutting equipment will not jam in the  
cut.  
- If it is possible (can you turn the log?) stop cutting about  
2/3 of the way through the log.  
2
3
Make sure the object you are cutting will not split.  
Make sure the chain will not strike the ground or any  
other object during or after cutting.  
- Turn the log and finish the cut from the opposite side.  
4
5
Is there a risk of kickback?  
The log is supported at one end. There is a high risk  
that it will split.  
Do the conditions and surrounding terrain affect how  
safely you can stand and move about?

utility line, the utility company should be notified  
immediately.  
During tree maintenance work above ground level, the  
working area must always be secured and marked out  
with signs, tape or the like.  
Felling direction  
The aim is to fell the tree in a position where you can limb  
and cross-cut the log as easily as possible.You want it to  
fall in a location where you can stand and move about  
safely.  
- Finish by cutting from above so that the two cuts meet.  
Once you have decided which way you want the tree to fall  
you must judge which way the tree would fall naturally.  
Several factors affect this:  
The log is supported at both ends. There is a high risk

that the chain will jam.  
Wind direction  
Arrangement of branches  
Obstacles within the reach of the tree: for example,  
other trees, power lines, roads and buildings.  
- Start by cutting from above (about 1/3 of the way  
through).  
Look for signs of damage and rot in the stem, this  
makes it more probably that the tree will break and  
start to fall before you expect it to.  
Weight of snow  
- Finish by cutting from below so that the two cuts meet.  
Tree felling technique  
WARNING! It takes a lot of experience to  
fell a tree. Inexperienced users of chain  
saws should not fell trees. Do not  
attempt any task that you feel unsure of!  
!
You may find you are forced to let the tree fall in its natural  
direction because it is impossible or dangerous to try to  
make it fall in the direction you first intended.  
Another very important factor, which does not affect the  
felling direction but does affect your safety, is to make sure  
the tree has no damaged or dead branches that might  
break off and hit you during felling.  
Safe distance  
The safe distance between a tree that is to be felled and  
anyone else working nearby is at least 2 1/2 tree lengths.  
Make sure that no-one else is in this ”risk zone” before or  
during felling.  
The main point to avoid is letting the tree fall onto another  
tree. It is very dangerous to remove a trapped tree and  
there is high accident risk. See instructions under the  
heading Freeing a tree that has fallen badly.  
WARNING! During critical felling  
operations, hearing protectors should be

lifted immediately when sawing is  
completed so that sounds and warning  
signals can be heard.  
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

Clearing the trunk and preparing your retreat  
to fall (2). Stand on the right-hand side of the tree, behind  
the saw, and cut with a pull stroke.  
Delimb the stem up to shoulder height. It is safer to work  
from the top down and to have the tree between you and  
the saw.

Next make the bottom cut so that it finishes exactly at the  
end of the top cut.  
Remove any undergrowth from the base of the tree and  
check the area for obstacles (stones, branches, holes,  
etc.) so that you have a clear path of retreat when the tree  
starts to fall.Your path of retreat should be roughly 135  
degrees away from the intended felling direction.  
The directional cuts should run 1/4 of the diameter  
through the trunk and the angle between the top cut and  
bottom cut should be 60° - 70°.

Felling cut  
The felling cut is made from the opposite side of the trunk  
and it must be perfectly horizontal. Try to take a correct  
position so you are able to cut on the pull stroke.  
Felling is done using three cuts. First you make the  
directional cuts, which consist of the top cut and the  
bottom cut, then you finish with the felling cut. By placing  
these cuts correctly you can control the felling direction  
very accurately.  
Make the felling cut about 0-3 cm (0-1.5 inches) above the  
bottom directional cut.  
Directional cuts  
To make the directional cut you begin with the top cut.Aim  
using to the saw’s felling direction mark (1) toward a goal

move in the opposite direction to your intended felling  
direction.  
There are methods for felling trees with a diameter larger  
than the bar length. However these methods involve a  
much greater risk that the kickback zone of the bar will  
come into contact with the tree.  
Finish the felling cut parallel with the directional cut line so  
that the distance between them is at least 1/10 of the  
trunk diameter.The uncut section of the trunk is called the  
felling hinge.  
WARNING! Unless you have special  
training we advise you not to fell trees  
with a diameter larger than the bar length  
of your saw!  
!
Freeing a tree that has fallen badly  
Freeing a ”trapped tree”  
It is very dangerous to remove a trapped tree and there is  
high accident risk.  
The felling hinge controls the direction that the tree falls in.  
Never work in the risk zone of the hanging trapped tree.  
All control over the felling direction is lost if the felling  
hinge is too narrow or non-existent, or if the directional  
cuts and felling cut are badly placed.  
The safest method is to use a winch.  
Tractor-mounted  
Portable  
Cutting trees and branches that are in tension  
When the felling cut and directional cut are complete the  
tree should start to fall by itself or with the aid of a felling  
wedge or breaking bar.  
Preparations:  
Work out which side is in tension and where the point of  
maximum tension is (i.e. where it would break if it was  
bent even more).  
We recommend that you use a bar that is longer than the  
diameter of the tree, so that you can make the felling cut  
and directional cuts with single cutting strokes. See the  
Technical data section to find out which lengths of bar are  
recommended for your saw.  
Decide which is the safest way to release the tension and  
whether you are able to do it safely. In complicated  
situations the only safe method is to put aside your chain  
saw and use a winch.  
General advice:  
Position yourself so that you will be clear of the tree or  
branch when the tension is released.

causes kickback and that you can avoid  
it by taking care and using the right

When limbing thick branches you should use the same  
approach as for cutting.  
What is kickback?  
Cut difficult branches piece by piece.  
The word kickback is used to describe the sudden  
reaction that causes the chain saw and bar to jump off an  
object when the upper quadrant of the tip of the bar,  
known as the kickback zone, touches an object.  
Kickback always occurs in the cutting plane of the bar.  
Normally the chain saw and bar are thrown backwards  
and upwards towards the user. However, the chain saw  
may move in a different direction depending on the way it  
Make sure that you can stand and move about safely.  
Work on the left side of the trunk. Work as close as  
possible to the chain saw for maximum control.If possible,  
let the weight of the chain saw rest on the trunk.

Note 1: Noise emissions in the environment measured as sound power (LWA) in conformity with EC directive 2000/14/  
EC.  
Note 2: Equivalent sound pressure level, according to ISO 22868, is calculated as the time-weighted energy total for  
different sound pressure levels under various working conditions. Typical statistical dispersion for equivalent sound  
pressure level is a standard deviation of 1 dB (A).  
Note 3:Vibration level, according to EN 60745-2-13. Reported data for vibration level has a typical statistical dispersion  
(standard deviation) of 1 m/s2. Declared vibration data from measurements when the machine is fitted with a bar length  
and recommended chain type. If the machine is fitted with a different bar length, the vibration level may vary by max  
1.5 m/s2.  
Note 4: Equivalent vibration level is measured and calculated as for combustion engine powered chainsaws. These  
figures are quoted to be able to compare vibration data regardless of type of engine.
