Safety instructions

General power tool safety warnings
Warning! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and 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 all of the warnings listed below 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 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, clothing and gloves 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. 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 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. 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. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools 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. 5. 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.
Additional power tool safety warnings
Warning! Additional safety warnings for chainsaws
Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chainsaw is operating. Before you start the chainsaw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating the chainsaw may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the chainsaw. u Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding the chainsaw with the reversed hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done. u 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. u Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree. Operation of a chainsaw while up in a tree may result in personal injury. u Always keep proper footing and operate the chainsaw 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 chainsaw. u 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 chainsaw out of control. u 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.
Carry the chainsaw by the front handle with the chainsaw switched off and away from your body. When transporting or storing the chainsaw always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chainsaw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain. u Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback u Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control. u Cut wood only. Do not use chainsaw for purposes not intended. For example: do not use the chainsaw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the chainsaw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation. u Position the cord so that it will not get caught on branches or similar when cutting. u The spiked bumber (16) may become sharp during the life of the product. handle with care. u When handling the product the chain bar may become hot, handle with care.

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. Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the chainsaw which could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your chainsaw. As a chainsaw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury. Kickback is the result of tool misuse and / or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below: Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the chainsaw handles. With both hands on the chainsaw, 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 chainsaw. u Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better control of the chainsaw in unexpected situations.
Only use replacement guide bars and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement guide bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/ or kickback. u Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback. u Striking metal, cement or any other hard material near the wood, or buried in the wood can cause kickback. u A dull or loose chain can cause kickback. u Do not try to insert into a previous cut. As this could cause kickback. Make a fresh cut every time.
Warning! The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used. The vibration level may increase above the level stated. When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons regularly using power tools in employment, an estimation of vibration exposure should consider, the actual conditions of use and the way the tool is used, including 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 time. Electrical safety
Safety recommendations for the chainsaw
We strongly recommend that first time users obtain practical instruction in the use of the chainsaw and protective equipment from an experienced user. Initial practice should be completed sawing logs on a saw horse or cradle. u Always check that the kickback brake operates correctly before use. u We recommend that when carrying the chainsaw that you make sure that the brake is engaged and the saw chain is facing backwards. u Maintain your chainsaw when not in use. Do not store your chainsaw for any length of time without first removing the saw chain and guide bar which should be kept immersed in oil. Store all parts of your chainsaw in a dry, secure place out of reach of children. u We recommend you drain the oil reservoir prior to storage. u Be sure of your footing and pre-plan a safe exit from a falling tree or branches. u Use wedges to help control felling and prevent binding the guide bar and saw chain in the cut. u Saw chain care. Keep the saw chain sharp and snug on the guide bar. Ensure the saw chain and guide bar are clean and well oiled. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Prepared timber. u Into the ground. u Into wire fences, nails. etc.

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 accordingly. Up to 30 m of HO7RN-F 2 X 1.5 mm 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. 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.
Guard against electric shock

Avoid cutting

Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated in the technical data and the declaration of conformity have been measured in accordance with a standard test method provided by EN60745 and may be used for comparing one tool with another. The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

Assembly

Warning! Always wear protective gloves when working on your chainsaw. Warning! Before performing any maintenance on power tools, switch off and unplug the appliance.

Oiling the chain

Labels on tool
The following pictograms are shown on the tool: Warning! To reduce the risk of injury, the user must read the instruction manual.
Always wear ear and eye protection Do not expose the tool to rain or high humidity. Always remove the plug from the socket before inspecting a damaged cable. Be careful not to use your chainsaw if the cable is damaged.
You must do this whenever you use a new chain (6) for the first time. Take the new chain (6) and soak it in chain oil for at least an hour before using it. Use Black & Decker chain oil. We recommend that you use only Black & Decker oil during the lifetime of your chainsaw because mixtures of different oils could lead to the oil becoming degraded, which can drastically shorten the lifetime of the saw chain and create additional risks. Never use waste oil, thick oil or very thin sewing machine oil. These may damage your chainsaw.
Fitting the guide bar and chain. (fig. A - E)
Place the chainsaw onto a stable surface. Set the front guard/chain brake assembly to the forward position (fig. D). u Fully loosen the control knob (9) (fig. A). u Remove the chain cover assembly (10).
Place the chain (6) over the guide bar (7) making sure that the saw chain cutters on the upper part of the guide bar (7) face towards the front (fig. B). u Guide the chain (6) around the guide bar (7) and pull it to create a loop to one side at the rear end of the guide bar (7). u Guide the chain (6) around the drive sprocket (12). Place the guide bar (7) onto the bar location studs (13) (fig. E).
Allow the control knob to spring back to the out position and rotate further clockwise to tighten the guide bar. Do not overtighten.
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
Filling the oil reservoir (fig. F)
Warning! Make sure that the front guard/chain brake assembly (4) is in the set (forward) position before refitting (fig. C). Before fitting the chain cover assembley check that the cam (11) (fig. B) is in the correct position. If necessary, press in and turn the control knob (9) clockwise to rotate the cam into the correct position. u Fit the chain cover by locating the bolt and using the control knob (9) to tighten the chain cover finger tight. u To tension the chain, loosen the control knob one full turn, press in firmly and rotate clockwise. As the bar moves forward make sure that the chain links feed into the guide bar. u Allow the control knob to spring back to the out position and rotate further clockwise to tighten the guide bar. Do not overtighten. u Check the tension as described below.

Remove the oil cap (3) and fill the reservoir with the recommended chain oil. You can see the oil level in the oil level indicator (5). Refit the oil cap (3). u Periodically switch off and check the oil level indicator (5); if it is less than a quarter full, disconnect your chainsaw from the mains supply and refill with the correct oil.

Switching on

Note: It will not be possible to switch the tool on if the front guard/chain brake assembly is not in the "set" position. u Grip your chainsaw firmly with both hands. Push the lock-off button (2) and then push the on/off switch (1) to start. u When the motor starts, remove your thumb from the lock button (2) and grip the handle firmly. Do not force the tool, allow the tool to do the work. It will do a better and safer job at the speed for which it is designed. Excessive force will stretch the saw chain (6). How to set the chain brake (fig. C) u Make sure that the tool is disconnected from the mains supply. u Pull the front guard/chain brake assembly (4) back into the "set" (fig. C) position. u The tool is now ready to use. How the anti-kickback chain brake works In the event of kickback, your left hand comes in contact with the front guard, pushing it forwards, toward the workpiece, and stops the tool within a few fractions of a second. How to test the anti-kickback chain brake (fig. C) u Always check that the kickback brake operates correctly before use. u Grip the tool firmly in both hands on a firm surface make sure the saw chain (6) is clear of the ground and switch on (see" How to switch the chainsaw on"). u Rotate your left hand forward around the front handle so that the back of your hand comes in contact with the front guard/chain brake assembly (4) and push it forwards, toward the workpiece (fig. C). The saw chain (6) should stop within a few fractions of a second.
Checking and adjusting the chain tension (fig. G)
Before use and after every 10 minutes of use you must check the chain tension. u Disconnect the tool from the mains supply. u Lightly pull on the chain (6) as shown (inset fig. G). The tension is correct when the chain (6) snaps back after being pulled 3 mm away from the guide bar (7). There should be no "sag" between the guide bar (7) and the chain (6) on the underside. Note: Do not over-tension the chain as this will lead to excessive wear and will reduce the life of the guide bar and the chain. Note: When the chain is new, check the tension frequently (after disconnecting from the mains) during the first 2 hours of use because a new chain stretches slightly.

To increase the tension

Loosen the control knob one full turn, press in firmly and rotate clockwise untill the required tension is reached. As the bar moves forward make sure that the chain links feed into the guide bar.
To reset after the operation of the front guard/chain brake assembly (4) follow the instructions for "How to set the chain brake". Note: Avoid re-starting the tool until you hear the motor come to a complete rest. Note: If chain brake in malfunctioning take the product to an approved Black & Decker service centre. If the saw chain (6) or guide bar (7) becomes jammed u Switch the tool off. u Disconnect the tool from the mains supply. u Open the cut with wedges to relieve the strain on the guide bar (7). Do not try to wrench the chainsaw free. u Start a fresh cut. Inexperienced users should not attempt to fell trees. The user may suffer injury or cause damage to property as a result of failure to control the direction of fall, the tree may splinter or damaged/dead branches may fall during cutting. The safe distance between a tree to be felled and bystanders, buildings and other objects is at least 2 1/2 times the height of the tree. Any bystander, building or object within this distance is at risk from being struck by the tree when felled. Before attempting to fell a tree: u Make sure that there are no local by-laws or regulations that would prohibit or control the felling of the tree. u Consider all conditions that may affect the direction of fall, including: - The intended direction of fall. - The natural lean of the tree. - Any unusual heavy limb structure or decay. - Surrounding trees and obstacles including overhead lines and underground drains. - The wind speed and direction. Pre-plan a safe exit from falling trees or branches. Make sure that the exit route is clear of obstacles that would prevent or hinder movement. Remember that wet grass and freshly cut bark is slippery. u Do not attempt to fell trees where the tree diameter is greater than the cutting length of the chainsaw. u Cut a direction notch to determine the direction of fall. u Make a horizontal cut to a depth of between 1/5th and 1/3rd of the diameter of the tree, perpendicular to the line of fall at the base of the tree (fig. H). u Make a second cut from above to intersect with the first and make a notch of about 45. u Make a single horizontal felling cut from the other side 25 mm to 50 mm above the centre of the direction notch. (fig. I). Do not cut through to the direction notch, you could lose control of the direction of fall.

Drive a wedge or wedges into the felling cut to open it and drop the tree (fig. J).

Pruning trees

Felling (fig. H - J)
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 pinching and kick back. Before pruning consideration should be given to conditions affecting the direction of fall including: u The length and weight of the branch to be cut. u Any unusual heavy limb structure or decay. u Surrounding trees and obstacles including overhead. u The wind speed and direction. u 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. u To avoid splintering, make the first cut in an upward direction to a maximum depth of one third the diameter of the branch. u Make the second cut downwards to meet the first.

Logging (fig. K - M)

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 running and the spiked bumper (16) in contact with the wood (fig. K). To complete the cut use a pivoting action of the spiked bumper against the wood. When supported along its whole length: u Make a downward cut, but avoid cutting the earth as this will blunt your saw chain quickly. When supported at both ends: u First, cut one third down to avoid splintering and second, cut again to meet the first cut. When supported at one end: u First cut one third up to avoid splintering and second, cut down to prevent splintering. When on a slope (fig. L): u Always stand on the uphill side. When attempting to cut a log on the ground (fig. L): u Secure the workpiece using chocks or wedges. The user or a bystander should not steady the log by sitting or standing on it. Make sure that the saw chain does not contact the ground.

When using a saw horse (fig. M): This is strongly recommended whenever possible. u 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.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures a long effective life for the tool. We recommend you make the following checks on a regular basis. Warning! Before performing any maintenance on power tools: u Switch off and disconnect you tool from the mains supply.

Troubleshooting

Problem Tool will not start Possible cause Lock button not pressed. Front guard in the brake position Blown fuse Tripped RCD Mains lead not connected Chain does not stop instantly when the tool is switched off Bar/chain appear hot/smoking Chain tension is too slack Possible sollution Press the lock button. Reset front guard Replace fuse Check RCD Check mains supply Check chain tension

Oil level

The level in the reservoir should not be allowed to fall below a quarter full.
Saw chain and guide bar (fig. G)
After every few hours of use and before storage, remove the guide bar (7) and the saw chain (6) and clean them thoroughly. u Make sure that the guard is clean and free from debris. u On reassembling, turn the guide bar (7) through 180 and oil sprocket nose via the sprocket lubrication hole (15). This ensures an even distribution of wear around the guide bar rails.

Saw chain sharpening

Oil tank empty Oil hole blocked on chain bar Chain tension is too tight Guide bar sprocket nose needs greasing Check oil tank level Clean oil hole Check chain tension Oil the guide bar sprocket nose
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 Black & Decker service agents and selected dealers).
Replacing worn out saw chains
Replacement saw chains are available through retailers or Black & Decker service agents. Always use genuine spare parts.
Chainsaw does not cut well Chainsaw not using oil
Chain on backwards Debris in tank Oil hole in cap blocked Debris in chain bar Debris in oil outlet
Check/modify chain direction Sharpen Empty oil from tank and replace Remove debris from hole Remove debris and clean the chain bar remove debris

Saw chain sharpness

The saw chain cutters will blunt immediately if they touch the ground or a nail while cutting.

Saw chain tension

Regularly check the saw chain tension.

Do not store your chainsaw for any length of time without first removing the saw chain and guide bar which should be kept immersed in oil. Store all parts of your chainsaw in a dry, secure place out of reach of children. We recommend you drain the oil reservoir prior to storage.
Do not force your chainsaw. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was intended. Protective clothing. Wear close fitting and protective clothing including a safety helmet with visor/goggles, ear protectors, safety shoes, protective bib trousers and strong leather gloves. Do not abuse the cable. Never carry a chainsaw by the cable or jerk it to disconnect the plug from the socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil or sharp edges. Check the cable frequently for damage. Secure your work using clamps or chocks. Be sure that you use both hands when operating your chainsaw. Remove the plug from the mains before changing the work location, adjusting, sharpening or cleaning, changing any accessory such as the chain, or if the cord becomes entangled or damaged. Adjusting wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that adjusting wrenches are removed from your chainsaw before starting. Only use extension cable type HO7RN-F 2 x 1mm2, as a minimum only. Stay alert. Never operate your chainsaw when you are tired. Check damaged parts. Before further use of your chainsaw, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine whether it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service agent. Do not use your chainsaw if the switch does not turn it on and off.

Warning! The use of an accessory or attachment other than those recommended in this user manual may present a risk of personal injury. For all types of cutting, always hold the saw firmly with both hands, with thumbs and fingers encircling the saw handles. Do not release your grip until your chainsaw has stopped moving. Be sure of your footing and pre-plan a safe exit from a falling tree or branches. Use wedges to help control felling and prevent binding the guide bar and saw chain in the cut. Keep all parts of your body and clothing away from the saw chain when running your chainsaw. Before you switch on make sure your chainsaw is not contacting anything. Do not touch or try to stop a moving saw chain with your hand. Carry your chainsaw carefully with the mains supply disconnected and with the guide bar and saw chain to the rear and the blade sheath fitted. Keep your chainsaw clean. Do not allow dirt, oil or sawdust to build up on your chainsaw. Pay particular attention to the air inlet and outlet slots; these must not become clogged. Clean your chainsaw with a dry cloth but do not use any solvents or cleaning fluids. Saw chain care. Keep the saw chain sharp and snug on the guide bar. Ensure the saw chain and guide bar are clean and well oiled.
Lack of attention when holding or guiding the saw while cutting. Over-reaching. Keep proper footing and balance at all times and do not overreach. Do not try to insert into a previous cut, as this could cause kickback. Make a fresh cut every time. We strongly recommend you do not attempt to operate your chainsaw while in a tree, on a ladder or on any other unstable surface. If you decide to do so, be advised that these positions are extremely dangerous. When cutting a branch that is under tension, be alert for spring back so that you will not be struck when the tension is released. Avoid cutting: x Prepared timber. x Into the ground. x Into wire fences, nails, etc. x Into small sized brush and saplings because slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped towards you, or pull you off balance. Do not use your chainsaw above shoulder height. Ensure someone is nearby (but at a safe distance) in case of an accident. If for any reason you have to touch the chain, make sure your chainsaw is disconnected from the mains. The noise from this product can exceed 85 dB(A). We therefore recommend you take appropriate measures for the protection of hearing.

Beware of kickback. Kickback is upward/ backward motion of the guide bar that may occur when the nose of the saw chain unexpectedly comes in contact with an object. Hold your chainsaw firmly with both hands when the motor is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the handles and watch carefully what you cut. Kickback can be caused by: x Striking branches or other objects accidentally with a tip of the saw while the saw chain is moving. x Striking metal, cement or any other hard material near the wood, or buried in the wood. x A dull or loose chain. x Cutting above shoulder height.
Warning symbols on your chainsaw
Read all of this manual carefully.
Do not use your chainsaw in wet conditions or expose it to rain.
Always wear ear and eye protection. Always remove the plug from the socket before inspecting a damaged cable. Be careful not to use your chainsaw if the cable is damaged.
To ensure continued safe operation, check the chain tension as described in this manual after every 10 minutes of use, and adjust back to a clearance of 3 mm as required. Insertion of a detached plug into a 13 amp socket outlet may result in electric shock. Only fit BS1363A approved plugs fitted with the correctly rated fuse (1). The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked at the connection points of most good quality plugs. Attach the wires to their respective points in the plug. Brown is for Live (L) (2) and blue is for Neutral (N) (4). Before replacing the top cover of the mains plug ensure that the cable restraint (3) is holding the outer sheath on the cable firmly and that the two leads are correctly fixed at the terminal screws.

Double insulation

Your chainsaw is double insulated. This means that all external metal parts are electrically isolated from the power supply. This is achieved by placing an extra insulation barrier between the electrical and mechanical parts. Double insulation means greater electrical safety and obviates the necessity of having the machine earthed.
Electrical safety x Make sure your chainsaw is correct for your supply. The voltage can be found on the rating plate.
Fuse replacement (UK & Ireland only) If you need to replace the fuse on your extension cable, please note the following: x The plug should be fitted with a 13 amp fuse which is the recommended fuse for your chainsaw. x Only use replacement fuses which are approved to BS1362. x When changing the fuse in your plug, always ensure the fuse cover is refitted. If the fuse cover is missing or damaged do not use the plug. Note: Fuses do not give personal protection against electric shock. Plug replacement (UK & Ireland only)

Warning! Never connect live or neutral wires to the earth pin marked E or. Note: Do not wire an extension cable directly into your chainsaw. Increased safety can be obtained by having a qualified electrician install a high sensitivity (30 mA / 30mS) circuit breaker in the house wiring. If you do not wish to have one installed, then we strongly recommend that the electrical power to your chainsaw be supplied through a high sensitivity residual current device (RCD). The RCD is designed to provide a high degree of personal protection against harmful electric current should fault conditions occur. 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. We recommend that if your mains cable is cut or requires replacement that you return your chainsaw to a Black & Decker service agent. When repaired, your chainsaw will be tested for electrical safety. Cable connection system (UK only) Black & Decker continually makes every effort to achieve the highest standards in performance, quality and reliability. We recommend the use of a new outdoor cable connection system, which gives additional protection against the possibility of water or moisture entering into the cable connector during normal use.
We strongly recommend the use of PVC or rubber covered plugs or connectors with your chainsaw. x Disconnect the plug from the supply. x Cut off the plug and dispose of it immediately.
The new connection system does not release the operator of the tool from the safety precautions and safe working practices given in the manual. Particular attention is drawn to the fact that this connection system is weather resistant, but not suitable for immersion, submersion or being subjected to water jets. Take care to prevent the cable from lying in or trailing through pools of water or from splashing with hose pipes. The following items are available: Am cable, socket, 13 Amp plug Am cable, socket, 13 Amp plug and Cable Tidy frame Am cable, socket, 13 Amp plug and Cable Tidy frame Am cable, socket, 13 Amp plug and Cable Tidy reel This adaptor is only suitable for products rated up to 500 W. It is not recommended for use with hover mowers, rotary mowers with grass collection, chainsaws, shredders and blower vacs. Please contact your local service centre if you need further advice.
Fitting your own extension cable x When making your own extension cable, fit a 13 Amp plug to one end of the cable (see Mains plug replacement) and a female connector to the other end. For wiring instructions, see those supplied with the female connector. x A male connector (see below) is already attached to the power supply cable on your tool. It is non-rewireable and should not be removed. If the connector is damaged and needs replacement, take the tool to a Black & Decker service centre.

Existing cable systems Your tool either comes with a cable attached (the cat. no. ends with a C) or with a male connector built into the tool. If you already own an outdoor cable system with the old female connector shown below, we recommend that you replace this connector with the new female connector, which is available from most major DIY outlets and from Black & Decker service centres (cat. no. A6624S).

female connector

male connector

old female connector

new female connector
Never wire an extension cable with anything other than the female connector supplied and a 13 Amp BS1363A approved plug with the recommended fuse. Never wire a male connector to the extension cable. Never wire an extension cable with a plug of any kind at each end of the cable. This is extremely dangerous and results in the pins being live, which may cause a fatal electric shock.
Follow the instructions supplied with the connector. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Existing outdoor tools To connect existing Black & Decker outdoor tools to the new system, you will need an adaptor (see below), which is available as an accessory from most major DIY outlets and from Black & Decker service centres (cat. no. A6623S).
Fitting the female connector x To remove the cover, unscrew the fixing screw until it is free of the nut which is located in the hexagonal recess on the underside of the connector. Take care not to lose the nut if it falls out.
The extension cable contains two wires, which are colour coded for easy identification: brown is for Live (L), blue is for Neutral (N). The connector is marked L for Live and N for Neutral. These markings are located inside the body near the terminal screws (see below). x Lift out the cable protector. x Pass the cable through from the narrow end of the cable protector. x Prepare the cable ends to the strip length shown in the illustration. x Remove the cable clamp. x Loosen the terminal screws until you can enter the stripped wires between the raised washer and the terminal. x Connect the brown lead to the terminal marked L and the blue lead to the terminal marked N. Do not fix the wires directly under the screw head. x Locate the cable and cable protector into the body. x Fit the cable clamp over the outer sheath of the cable. Tighten the screws until fully home. x Make sure that the cable clamp is firmly holding the outer sheath of the cable and that the two leads are correctly fixed. x Place the cover onto the connector body. x Securely tighten the fixing screw. x Check that the cable protector is secure and that there are no gaps between the connector body and the cover.

Oiling the chain (fig. A) x You must do this whenever you use a new chain for the first time. Take the new chain out of its plastic bag and soak it in chain oil for at least an hour before using it. Use Black & Decker chain oil (cat. no. A6027).
We recommend that you use only one brand of oil during the lifetime of your chainsaw because mixtures of different oils could lead to the oil becoming degraded, which can drastically shorten the lifetime of the saw chain. Never use waste oil, thick oil or very thin sewing machine oil. These may damage your chainsaw.
Note: When the chain is new, check the tension frequently (after disconnecting from the mains) during the first 2 hours of use as a new chain stretches slightly. To increase the tension: x Turn the screw (14) clockwise. USE Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
Fitting the guide bar and chain (fig. B, C & D)

Wear protective gloves.

Place the saw onto a stable surface. Loosen and remove the chain cover bolt (7) (fig. C). Remove the chain cover (6). Place the chain (9) over the guide bar (8), making sure that the cutters on the upper part of the guide bar face towards the front (fig. B). Guide the chain around the guide bar and pull it to create a loop at the rear end of the guide bar. Place the chain and guide bar onto the saw. Guide the chain around the drive sprocket (12). Place the guide bar onto the studs (13). Make sure that the sliding nut peg (16) locates into the tensioning hole (17). Place the chain cover (6) onto the saw. Fit the chain cover bolt (7) and tighten it finger tight. Turn the screw (14) (fig. D) clockwise until the chain is tight. Make sure that the chain is snug around the guide bar. Do not overtighten. Tighten the chain cover bolt using the spanner supplied.

Filling oil into the reservoir (fig. E) x Remove the oil cap (3) and fill the reservoir with the recommended chain oil. You can see the oil level in the indicator slot (4). Refit the oil cap. x Periodically switch off and check the oil in the indicator; if it is less than a quarter full, disconnect your chainsaw from the mains and refill with the correct oil. Auto-stop chainbrake (fig. F & G) This tool is fitted with an auto-stop chainbrake which will stop the chain within 150 ms each time you release the rear trigger, or if kickback should occur. This brake should be tested before every use.
How to set the chainbrake x Make sure that the tool is disconnected from the mains supply. x Pull the front guard (5) back into the set position. The tool is now ready to use. How the anti-kickback chainbrake works In the event of kickback, your left hand comes in contact with the front guard, pushing it backwards, and stops the tool within 150 ms. How the inertia activated chainbrake works The chainbrake is activated when the front hand guard is pushed forward, either manually, by the back of the users hand or by its own weight. The advantage of the inertia brake is that it is activated by a severe kickback, eg. when the chain hits metal, even if the users hand does not contact the front guard, ie. when the saw is in the felling position.
Checking and adjusting the chain tension (fig. D) Before use and after every 10 minutes of use, you must check the chain tension. x Lightly pull on the chain as shown. The tension is correct when the chain snaps back after being pulled 3 mm away from the guide bar. There should be no sag between the guide bar and chain on the underside.
Note: Do not over-tension the chain as this will lead to excessive wear and will reduce the life of the bar and chain.
How to test the anti-kickback chainbrake x Grip the tool firmly in both hands on a firm surface - make sure the chain is clear of the ground and switch on (see How to switch your chainsaw on). x Rotate your left hand forward around the front handle so that the back of your hand comes in contact with the front guard and pushes it backwards (fig. G). The chain should stop within a few fractions of a second. To reset after the operation of the chainbrake x Follow the instructions for setting the chainbrake. Notes: x It will not be possible to switch the tool on if the front guard is not in the set position. x Avoid re-starting the tool until you hear the motor come to a complete rest. x If the chain does not come to rest immediately then this indicates that it needs tensioning (see Fitting the guide bar and chain).

Make a single felling cut from the other side but stop before you cut through to the notch (fig. I). Drive a wedge or wedges into the felling cut to open it and drop the tree (fig. J).
Logging (fig. K - M) How you should cut depends on how the log is supported. Use a saw horse whenever possible. Always start a cut with the chain running and the spiked bumper (15) in contact with the wood (fig. K). To complete the cut use a pivoting action of the spiked bumper against the wood.
When supported along its whole length x Make a downward cut, but avoid cutting the earth as this will blunt your saw quickly. When supported at both ends x First, cut one third down to avoid splintering and second, cut again to meet the first cut. When supported at one end x First, cut one third up to avoid splintering and second, cut down to prevent splintering. When on a slope (fig. L) x Always stand on the uphill side. When using a saw horse (fig. M) This is strongly recommended whenever possible. x Position the log in a stable position. Always cut on the outside of the saw horse arms. MAINTENANCE (fig. N) Regular maintenance ensures a long effective life for the tool. We recommend you make the following checks on a regular basis. Oil level The level in the reservoir should not be allowed to fall below a quarter full. Top up if low. Chain and guide bar x After every few hours of use, remove the guide bar and chain and clean thoroughly.
How to switch the tool on (fig. A) x Grip your chainsaw firmly with both hands. Push the lock-off button (2) forward and then push the on/off switch (1) to start. x When the motor starts, remove your thumb from the lock button and grip the handle firmly. Do not force the tool - allow it to do the work. It will do a better and safer job at the speed for which it is designed. Excessive force will stretch the chain. If the saw chain or bar becomes jammed: x Switch the tool off. x Disconnect the tool from the mains supply. x Open the cut with wedges to relieve the strain on the guide bar. Do not try to wrench the saw free. Start a fresh cut. Felling (fig. H - J) x Pre-plan a safe exit from falling trees or branches. x Cut one third of the diameter of the tree (Fig. H). Then cut down from above to make a notch of about 45. This way you will avoid pinching the saw.

On reassembling, the guide bar should be turned through 180 and the sprocket nose greased via the sprocket lubrication hole (18). This ensures an even distribution of wear around the guide bar rails.
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 Black & Decker service agents and selected dealers). Replacing worn out chains Replacement chains are available through retailers or Black & Decker service agents. Always use genuine spare parts. Saw chain sharpness The cutters will blunt immediately if they touch the ground or a nail whilst cutting. Saw chain tension x Regularly check the chain tension.
What to do if your chainsaw needs repair Your chainsaw is in accordance with the relevant safety requirements. Repairs should only be carried out by a qualified persons using original spare parts, otherwise this may result in considerable danger to the user. We recommend you keep this user manual in a safe place.
