GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all 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 the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power
tool or battery-operated (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.
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.
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.
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.
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

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
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.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and
clothing 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.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
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 remove the battery pack,
if detachable, 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.
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 and accessories. Check for misalignment or 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.
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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control
of the tool in unexpected situations.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
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.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion
or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure
to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool
outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.
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.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
GENERAL CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS:
a) 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 your clothing or body with the saw chain.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) Wear safety glasses protection. Further protective equipment for hearing, head,
hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce
personal injury by flying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.

Safety Information
Important - Please read these instructions fully before starting assembly
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
e) Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder, from a rooftop, or any unstable
support. Operation of a chain saw in this manner could result in serious personal
injury.
f) Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when standing on
fixed, secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of
balance or control of the chain saw.
g) 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.
h) 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.
i) Carry the chain saw by the front 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.
j) Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing the bar and
chain. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the
chance for kickback.
k) Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not intended. For example:
do not use chain saw for cutting metal, plastic, masonry or non-wood building
materials. Use of the chain saw for operations different than intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
l) Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have an understanding of the risks and
how to avoid them. Serious injury could occur to the operator or bystanders while
felling a tree.
m) Follow all instructions when clearing jammed material, storing or servicing
the chain saw. Make sure the switch is off and the battery pack is removed.
Unexpected actuation of the chain saw while clearing jammed material or servicing
may result in serious personal injury.
n) Recommendation that the first-time user should, as a minimum, practise cutting
logs on a saw-horse or cradle.
o) Recommendation to have sharpening and maintenance of the saw chain
performed by authorised service centres.
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 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.

Customer Helpline 1300 889 028

Safety Information
Important - Please read these instructions fully before starting assembly
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
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 devices 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 the result of chain saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
a) Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles,
with both hands on the saw and position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper
precautions are taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.
b) Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. This helps prevent
unintended tip contact and enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected
situations.
c) Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement guide bars and saw chains may cause chain breakage and/or
kickback.
d) Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw
chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Even with the intended use of the appliance there is always a residual risk, which can
not prevented. According to the type and construction of the appliance the following
potential hazards might apply:
- Contact with exposed saw teeth of the saw chain (cutting hazards)
- Access to the rotating saw chain (cutting hazards)
- Unforeseen, abrupt movement of the guide bar (cutting hazards)
- Flung out of parts from the saw chain (Cutting / injection hazards)
- Flung out of parts of the work piece
- Skin contact with the oil
- Loss of hearing, if no required ear protection used during work
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Instructions concerning the proper techniques for basic felling, limbing, and cross-
cutting.
1. Felling a tree
When bucking and felling operations are being performed by two or more persons at
the same time, the felling operations 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 company
should be notified immediately.
The chain saw operator should keep on the uphill side of the terrain as the tree is

Customer Helpline 1300 889 028

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
likely to roll or slide downhill after it is felled.
An escape path should be planned and cleared as necessary before cuts are started.
The escape path should extend back and diagonally to the rear of the expected line of
fall as illustrated in Figure 1.
Before felling is started, consider the natural lean of the tree, the location of larger
branches and the wind direction to judge which way the tree will fall.
Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire from the tree.
2. Notching undercut
Make the notch 1/3 the diameter of the tree, perpendicular to the direction of falls as
illustrated in Figure 1. Make the lower horizontal notching cut (W) first. This will help
to avoid pinching either the saw chain or the guide bar when the second notch (X) is
being made.
3. Felling back cut
Make the felling back cut (Y) at least 50 mm higher than the horizontal notching cut
as illustrated in Figure 1. Keep the felling back cut parallel to the horizontal notching
cut. Make the felling back cut so enough wood is left to act as a hinge. The hinge wood
keeps the tree from twisting and falling in the wrong direction. Do not cut through the
hinge.
As the felling gets close to the hinge, the tree should begin to fall. If there is any
chance that the tree may not fall in desired direction or it may rock back and bind
the saw chain, stop cutting before the felling back cut is complete and use wedges of
wood, plastic or aluminium (Z) to open the cut and drop the tree along the desired line
of fall ( 3).
When the tree begins to fall remove the chain saw from the cut, stop the motor, put
the chain saw down, then use the retreat path planned ( 2). Be alert for overhead
limbs falling and watch your footing.

4. Limbing a tree
Limbing is 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 as
illustrated in Figure 2. Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to
avoid binding the chain saw.
Figure 2
5. Bucking a log
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to make sure your footing is firm
and your weight is evenly distributed on both feet. When possible, the log should be
raised and supported by the use of limbs, logs or chocks. Follow the simple directions
for easy cutting.
When the log is supported along its entire length as illustrated in Figure 3, it is cut
from the top (overbuck), avoid contacting ground as this will greatly reduce the chain
sharpness.

When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the log, as illustrated in
Figure 6. When “cutting through”, to maintain complete control release the cutting
pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the chain saw handles.
Don’t 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.
