ENGLISH
If the replaced battery charges correctly, the original
u
battery is defective and should be returned to a service
centre for recycling.
If the new battery gives the same indication as the original
u
battery, take the charger to be tested at an authorised
services centre.
Note: It may take as long as 30 minutes to determine that
the battery is defective. If the battery is too hot or too
cold, the charger indicator will alternately blink red, fast
and slow, one flash at each speed and repeat.
Filling the oil reservoir (fig. O)
Remove the oil cap (3) and fill the reservoir with the
u
recommended chain oil. You can see the oil level in the oil
level indicator (11). Refit the oil cap (3).
Periodically switch off and check the oil level indicator
u
(11); if it is less than a quarter full, remove the battery from
the chainsaw and refill with the correct oil.
Oiling the chain
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.
The saw chain (6) must be oiled before each use and after
cleaning using only the correct grade of oil (cat. no. A6023-
QZ).
Lubricate the saw chain (6) by slowly pressing the bulb
u
(17) (fig. O) on the oil cap (3) four time before making
each cut. Hold the bulb down for 1 second each time.
Switching on (fig. O)
Grip your chainsaw firmly with both hands. Pull the lock-off
u
button (2) with your thumb and then push the on/off switch
(1) to start.
When the motor starts, remove your thumb from the
u
lockoff 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).
If the saw chain (6) or guide bar (7) becomes
jammed
Switch the tool off.
u
Remove the battery (12).
u
Open the cut with wedges to relieve the strain on the
u
guide bar (7). Do not try to wrench the chainsaw free.
Start a fresh cut.

Felling (fig. P, Q & R)
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:
Make sure that there are no local by-laws or regulations
u
that would prohibit or control the felling of the tree.
Consider all conditions that may affect the direction of fall,
u
including:
The intended direction of fall.
u
The natural lean of the tree:
u
Any unusual heavy limb structure or decay.
u
Surrounding trees and obstacles including overhead
u
lines and underground drains.
The wind speed and direction.
u
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.
Do not attempt to fell trees where the tree diameter is
u
greater than the cutting length of the chainsaw:
Cut a direction notch to determine the direction of fall.
u
Make a horizontal cut to a depth of between 1/5th and
u
1/3rd of the diameter of the tree, perpendicular to the line
of fall at the base of the tree (fig. P).
Make a second cut from above to intersect with the first
u
and make a notch of about 45°.
Make a single horizontal felling cut from the other side 25
u
mm to 50 mm above the centre of the direction notch. (fig.
Q). 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
u
drop the tree (fig. R).
Pruning trees
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:
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.
