Electrical safety
This tool is double insulated; therefore no earth
wire is required. Always check that the power
#
supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or an authorised BLACK+DECKER Service
Centre in order to avoid a hazard.
Using an extension cable
Always use an approved extension cable suitable for the
power input of this tool (see technical data). The extension
cable must be suitable for outdoor use and marked ac-
cordingly. Up to 30 m of H07RN-F 2 X 1.5 mm² extension
cable can be used without loss of product performance.
Before use, inspect the extension cable for signs of
damage, wear and ageing. Replace the extension cable
if damaged or defective. When using a cable reel, always
unwind the cable completely.
Voltage drops
Under certain power supply conditions this product may-
cause short-time voltage drops during start-up.
Other equipment may be affected. For example, electric-
lights may temporarily reduce in brightness.
Contact the supply authority, if necessary, to determine
that the impedance of the power supply is lower than
0.159 ohms. Disturbances are unlikely to occur under this
condition.
Guard against electric shock
Prevent body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
(e.g. metal railings, lamp-posts etc.).
Electric safety can be further improved by using a high-
sensitivity (30 mA/ 30mS) Residual Current Device (RCD).
Warning! The use of an RCD or other circuit
:
breaker unit does not release the operator
of your chainsaw from the safety instructions
and safe working practices given in this user
manual.
Assembly
Warning! Always wear protective gloves when
working on your chainsaw.
@
Warning! Before performing any assembly
or maintenance on power tools, switch off and
@
runplug from power supply.

Warning! Remove the cable tie that attaches
@
the saw chain to the chainbar before assembly.
Oiling the saw chain
You must do this whenever you use a new saw chain (5) for
the fi rst time. Take the new saw chain (5) and soak it in saw
chain oil for at least an hour before using it.
Note: Use a high quality bar and saw chain oil for proper
saw chain and bar lubrication. As a temporary substitute, a
non-detergent SAE30 weight motor oil can be used.The use
of a vegetable based bar and saw chain oil is recommended
when pruning trees.
Never use waste oil, thick oil or very thin sewing machine oil.
These may damage your chainsaw.
Fitting the guide bar and saw chain. (fi g. A - G)
Place the chainsaw onto a stable surface.
Rotate the bar adjust locking knob (8) counterclockwise as
shown in fi gure A to remove chain cover assembly (6).
Wearing protective gloves, grasp the saw chain (5) and
wrap it around the guide bar (4), ensuring the teeth are
facing the correct direction (see fi gure G).
Ensure the saw chain is properly set in the slot around the
entire guide bar.
Place the saw chain around the sprocket (16) while lining
up the slot in the guide bar with the bolt (17) in the base of
the tool and the saw chain tensioning pin (18) as shown in
fi gure B.
Note: You may need to adjust the position of the saw chain
tension pin (18) for it to properly engage the slot in the guide
bar by rotating the saw chain tensioning wheel (7).
Once in place, turn the saw chain tensioning wheel (7) by
hand to preliminarily tighten the assembly and hold it in
place.
While holding the bar still, replace the sprocket cover (6).
Make sure the tab (19) on the cover lines up with the slot
(20) in the main housing as shown in fi gure C. Rotate the
bar adjust locking knob (8) clockwise until snug, then
loosen knob (8) one full turn, so the saw chain can be
properly tensioned.
Follow instructions for "Adjusting Saw chain Tension" in
the next section.
Adjusting saw chain tension
Warning! Sharp saw chain. Always wear protective gloves
when handling the saw chain. The saw chain is sharp and can
cut you when it is not running.
Warning! Sharp moving saw chain. To prevent accidental
operation, ensure that the tool is unplugged before performing
the following operations. Failure to do this could result in
serious personal injury.
