Use
Switching on and off (fig. H)
For your safety, this tool is equipped with a double switching
system. This system prevents starting the tool inadvertently.
Switching on
Press the lock-off button (2) and at the same time
squeeze the on/off switch (1).
Release the lock-off button (2).
Switching off
Release the on/off switch (1).
Warning! Never attempt to lock a switch in the on position.
Pruning trees (fig. I)
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 (8) pinching and
kickback.
Before pruning consideration should be given to conditions
affecting the direction of fall including:
The length and weight of the branch to be cut.
Any unusual heavy limb structure or decay.
Surrounding trees and obstacles including overhead.
The wind speed and direction.
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.
To avoid splintering, the first cut is made in an upward
direction to a maximum depth of one third the diameter of the
branch. The second cut is made downwards to meet the first.
Light duty cutting (fig. J)
How you should cut depends on how the log is supported.
Use a saw horse whenever possible. Always start a cut with
the saw chain (8) running and the spiked bumper in contact
with the wood. To complete the cut, use a pivoting action of
the spiked bumper against the wood.
When supported along its whole length:
Make a downward cut, but avoid cutting the earth as this
will blunt your saw chain quickly.
When supported at both ends:
First, cut one third down to avoid splintering and
second, cut again to meet the first cut,
When supported at one end:
First cut one third up to avoid splintering and second,
cut down to prevent splintering.
When on a slope:
Always stand on the uphill side.
When using a saw horse (fig. J):
This is strongly recommended whenever possible.
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.
Cleaning, maintenance and storage

Fitting the battery cap (fig. K)
Warning! Fit the cap (22) to the battery (10) for
transportation and storage.
After use and before storage
Regularly clean the ventilation slots with a clean, dry paint
brush.
To clean the tool, use only mild soap and a damp cloth.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool and never immerse
any part of the tool into liquid.
Remove debris using a hard brush.
Lubricate the chain (8) with oil.
Saw chain sharpening
If you are to get the best possible performance from the
tool it is important to keep the teeth of the saw chain sharp.
Guidance for this procedure is found on the sharpener
package. For this purpose we recommend the purchase
of the Black & Decker saw chain sharpening kit, available
from your Black & Decker service agents (cat. no. A6039).
