• in rain or in damp or wet areas

• where highly flammable liquids or gases are present

• if saw is damaged, adjusted wrong, or not fully and securely assembled

• if trigger does not turn saw on and off.

Chain must stop moving when you release trigger. Have faulty switch replaced by authorized service center.

• while in a hurry

• while in tree or on a ladder unless trained to do so

8.

Wear snug-fitting clothes when operating chain saw. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can get caught in moving saw chain.

9.

Wear the following safety gear when operating chain saw.

• heavy-duty gloves (wear rubber gloves when working outdoors)

• steel-toed safety footwear with nonskid soles

• eye protection such as safety glasses, goggles, or face screen

• safety hard hat

• ear mufflers or ear plugs

• hair covering to contain long hair

• face or dust mask (if working in dusty areas)

10. Before cutting, always provide the following:

• clear work area

• secure footing

• planned retreat path from falling tree

11. Inspect tree before cutting down. Make sure there are no dead limbs or branches that may fall on you.

12. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this saw has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet of your extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, a polarized extension cord will be necessary. Do not change the plug in any way.

WHILE OPERATING SAW

1.

Stay alert. Use common sense while operating chain saw.

2.

Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.

3.

Be aware of extension cord while operating chain saw. Be careful not to trip over cord. Keep cord away from chain and operator at all times.

4.

Keep children, animals, and bystanders away from chain saw and extension cord. Only chain saw user should be in work area.

5.

Do not cut down a tree unless you are trained or have expert help.

6.

If two or more persons perform bucking and felling operations at the same time, provide plenty of distance between operations. Provide distance of at least twice the height of tree being felled.

7.

Secure wood you are cutting by using clamps or chocks.

8.

Grip chain saw firmly with both hands.

Never operate chain saw with one hand.

Never use hand guard as handle.

9.

Keep finger off trigger until ready to make cut.

SAFETY

WARNINGS

KICKBACK

WARNING: 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 lightning fast 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 saw which could result in serious injury to user.

Kickback Safety Devices On

This Saw

This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced kickback guide bar. Both items reduce the chance of kickback. Kickback can still occur with this saw.

Properly install front hand guard. This item can reduce injuries from kickback. Follow assembly instructions on page 6. Do not remove front hand guard. Do not replace front hand guard with substitute.

The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.

• Use both hands to grip saw while saw is running. Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around saw handles.

• Keep all safety items in place on saw.

Make sure they work properly.

• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.

• Keep solid footing and balance at all times

• Stand slightly to left side of saw. This keeps your body from being in direct line with chain.

• Do not let guide bar nose touch anything when chain is moving (see Figure 1).

FELLING A TREE

(Cutting Down a Tree)

WARNING:

• Avoid kickback. Kickback can result in severe injury or death.

See Kickback, page 3 to avoid risk of kickback.

• Do not fell a tree without ample skill or expert help.

• Keep children, animals, and bystanders away from area when felling a tree.

• If two or more persons perform bucking and felling operations

WARNING: When felling a tree, be aware of your surroundings. Do not endanger any person, strike utility lines, or cause property damage. If tree strikes utility lines, contact utility company at once.

Felling is the process of cutting down a tree.

Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet. Follow directions below to fell a tree.

Before Felling a Tree

1.

Before felling, inspect tree. Make sure there are no dead limbs or branches that may fall on you. Study natural lean of tree, location of larger branches, and wind direction. This will help you judge which way tree will fall.

2.

Clear work area around tree.

3.

Plan and clear a retreat path before felling. Make retreat path opposite to planned direction of fall of tree and at

45

°

angle (see Figure 11).

4.

Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples, and wire from tree where you will make felling cuts.

5.

Stay on uphill side when felling tree.

Tree could roll or slide downhill after falling.

Figure 11 - Retreat Path From Tree

Felling Procedure

A) Felling Notch

A properly placed felling notch will determine direction tree will fall. Place felling notch on side of tree in direction you want tree to fall (see Figure 12). Follow directions below to create a felling notch.

1.

Make lower notch cut as close to ground as possible. Hold saw so guide bar is horizontal. Cut 1/3 the diameter of tree trunk (see Figure 12). Note: Always make this horizontal lower notch cut first. If you make this cut second, tree can pinch chain or guide bar.

2.

Start upper notch cut the same distance above first cut as first cut is deep.

Example: If lower notch cut is eight inches deep, start upper notch cut eight inches above it. Cut downward at 45

° angle. The upper notch cut should meet end of lower notch cut (see Figure 12).

3.

Remove tree trunk wedge created by notching cuts.

B) Felling Cut

1.

Make felling cut two inches higher than lower notch cut and on opposite side of tree (see Figure 12). Keep felling cut parallel to lower notch cut.

2.

Cut towards notch.

2"

1st Cut -

Lower

Notch Cut

Figure 12 - Felling A Tree

3.

As felling cut nears hinge, tree should begin to fall.

Note:

If needed, drive wedges into felling cut to control direction of fall. If tree settles back and pinches chain, drive wedges into felling cut to remove saw. Only use wedges made of wood, plastic, or aluminum. Never use wedge made of steel. This could cause kickback and damage to chain.

4.

When tree begins to fall, quickly

• remove saw from felling cut

• release trigger to turn saw off

• put saw down

• exit area using retreat path

WARNING: Be alert for falling overhead limbs. Watch your footing while exiting area.

WARNING: Do not cut all the way through tree. Leave about two inches of tree diameter uncut directly behind felling notch

(see Figure 12). This uncut portion acts as a hinge. The hinge helps keep tree from twisting and falling in wrong direction.

WARNING: Avoid kickback.

Kickback can result in severe injury or death. See Kickback, page

3 to avoid risk of kickback.

Entire Length Of Log On

Ground

Cut log from top (see Figure 14).




WARNING: When cutting limb that is under tension, use extreme caution. Be alert for wood springing back. When wood tension is released, limb could spring back and strike operator causing severe injury or death.

Limbing is removing branches from a fallen tree. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet. Do not remove larger limbs under tree that support log off ground. Remove each limb with one cut (see Figure 13).

Clear cut limbs from work area often. This will help maintain a safe work area.

Make sure you start your cut where limb will not pinch saw during cutting. To avoid pinching, start cut on freely hanging limbs from above limb. Start cut on limbs under tension from under limb. If pinch occurs, turn saw off, lift limb, and remove saw.

WARNING:

• If on slope, make sure log will not roll down hill. Secure log by using wooden stakes. Drive wooden stakes into ground on downhill side of log. Stand on uphill side of log while cutting.

Log may roll after cutting.

• Never try cutting through two logs at same time. This could increase the risk of kickback.

• While cutting log, never hold log with your hand, leg, or foot.

• While cutting log, never allow another person to hold log.

• Turn off and unplug saw before moving from one place to another.

Bucking a log is cutting a log into sections.

Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet.

When possible, raise log or section off ground.

Do this by using limbs, logs, chocks, etc.

When cutting through log, maintain control by reducing cutting pressure near end of cut.

Do not relax your grip on chain saw handles.

Do not let moving chain touch ground.

Ground will dull moving chain. After cutting through log, release trigger to turn saw off before moving saw.

Follow directions below to buck a log.

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

NOTICE: Below are instructions for servicing your chain saw. Any servicing not mentioned below should be done by an authorized service center.

CLEANING SAW BODY

WARNING: Unplug chain saw from power source before servicing. Severe injury or death could occur from electrical shock or body contact with moving chain.

CARE OF GUIDE BAR

Uneven bar wear causes most guide bar problems. Incorrect sharpening of chain cutter and depth gauge settings often cause this. When bar wears unevenly, it widens guide bar groove (see Figure 18). This causes chain clatter and rivet popping. Saw will not cut straight. Replace guide bar if this occurs.

Inspect guide bar before sharpening chain.

A worn or damaged guide bar is unsafe. A worn or damaged guide bar will damage chain. It will also make cutting harder.

Guide Bar

Groove

Normal Guide Bar Maintenance

1.

Remove guide bar from chain saw.

2.

Remove sawdust from guide bar groove periodically. Use putty knife or wire.

3.

Clean oil slots after each day of use.

Keep chain sharp. Your saw will cut faster and more safely. A dull chain will cause undue sprocket, guide bar, chain, and motor wear. If you must force chain into wood and cutting creates only sawdust with few large chips, chain is dull.

Items Needed to Sharpen Chain

Purchase these items from your local dealer, hardware store, or chain saw supplies outlet.

• 5/32" round file

• Depth gauge tool

• File guide

• Vise

• Medium sized flat file

ELECTRIC CHAIN SAW LIMITED WARRANTY

Always specify model and serial numbers when writing the factory.

We reserve the right to amend these specifications at any time without notice. The only warranty applicable is our standard written warranty. We make no other warranty, expressed or implied.

DESA International warrants this electric chain saw and any parts thereof, to be free from defects in material and workmanship for one year from the date of first purchase from an authorized dealer, provided that the product has been properly maintained and operated in accordance with all applicable instructions. The bill of sales or proof of purchase must be presented at the time a claim is made under this warranty.

This warranty is extended only to the original retail purchaser. This warranty covers only the parts and labor required to restore this chain saw to its proper operating condition. Warranty parts must be obtained through factory authorized dealers and service centers for this product. These dealers and service centers will provide original factory replacement parts. Failure to use original factory replacement parts voids this warranty.

This warranty does not cover commercial, industrial, or rental usage, nor does it apply to parts that are not in original condition because of normal wear and tear, or parts that fail or become damaged as a result of misuse, accident, lack of proper maintenance, tampering, or alteration. Travel, handling, transportation, and incidental costs associated with warranty repairs are not reimbursable under this warranty and are the responsibility of the owner.

To the full extent allowed by the law of the jurisdiction that governs the sale of the product, this express warranty excludes any and all other expressed warranties and limits the duration of any and all implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose to one year form the date of first purchase, and DESA International’s liability is hereby limited to the purchase price of the product and

DESA International shall not be liable for any other damages whatsoever including indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.

Some states do not allow limitation of how long an implied warranty lasts or an exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation of damages may not apply to you.

This warranty provides the original purchaser with specific rights. For information regarding those rights, please consult the applicable state laws.
