IMPORTANT SAfETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not expose the chainsaw to rain.
• Do not use the chainsaw in damp or wet locations.
• Stay alert and pay attention to what you are doing.
• Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the unit is running.
• Always carry the chainsaw by the front handle with the power cord removed and the guide bar
and saw chain positioned to the rear.
• Never let anyone use your chainsaw who has not received adequate instructions in its proper
use. This applies to rentals as well as privately owned saws.
• Before you start the unit, make sure the saw chain is not contacting any object.
• Stop the chain saw before setting it down.
• To avoid accidental starting, never carry the unit with your finger on the trigger switch .
• Maintain the unit with care. Keep the cutting edge sharp and clean for best performance and
to reduce the risk of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free of oil and grease.
• Do not operate a chainsaw with one hand! Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling
the chainsaw handles. Serious injury to the operator, helpers, bystanders, or any combination
of these persons may result from one-handed operation. A chainsaw is intended for two-
handed use.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as metal pipes and wire fences. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Do not operate a chainsaw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or not completely and
securely assembled. Chain should slow to a stop when the trigger switch is released. If the
chain continues to turn after the trigger switch has been released, have the unit serviced by
your nearest GreenWorks™ service dealer.
• Check for damaged parts, misalignment or binding of moving parts, broken parts and
mountings, and any other condition that may affect the operation of the tool.
• All chainsaw service, other than the items listed in the operation and maintenance sections,
should be performed by your nearest GreenWorks™ service dealer.
• Always maintain a proper stance.
• Do not use chainsaw if switch does not turn it on and off. Have defective switch replaced by
authorized service centre.
• Do not adapt your chainsaw to a bow guide or use it to power any attachments or devices not
listed for the saw.
• Disconnect chainsaw from power supply when not in use, before servicing, and when making
adjustments and changing attachments, such as saw chain and bar.
• Do not cut vines and/or small underbrush.
• Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree, on a ladder, or on scaffolding. Doing so is extremely
dangerous.
NOTE: The size of the work area depends on the job being performed as well as the size of the tree or
workpiece involved. For example, felling a tree requires a larger work area than making bucking cuts.
