• Do not operate minisaw while up in a tree as this may result in personal injury.
• Always keep proper footing and operate minisaw only when standing on a fixed, secure and
level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause loss of balance or
control of the machine.
• Use extreme caution when cutting brush or saplings. The slender material may catch the chain
and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
• When cutting a limb under tension, be alert of spring back. When the tension in the wood
fibres is released by cutting it, the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the
minisaw out of control.
io
n
• Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Greasy or oily handles are slippery and
may cause loss of control.
Machine use and care
N
R ot f
ep o
ro r
du
ct
• Cut wood only. Do not use machine for unintended purposes. For example, do not use
minisaw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials as this is hazardous.
• If the machine starts to vibrate excessively or if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Discontinue use until the minisaw has been inspected and fixed if required.
• Do not apply excessive force on the minisaw. Use it for intended application only.
• Remove the battery pack from the minisaw before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, inspecting, adjusting, servicing or cleaning the minisaw. Such safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the machine unintentionally.

Additional Warnings
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools may contribute to a condition called
Raynaud’s Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and
blanching of the fingers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure
to cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices are all thought to contribute to the
development of these symptoms. It is presently unknown what, if any, vibrations or extent of
exposure may contribute to the condition. There are measures that can be taken by the operator
to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
• Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit wear gloves to keep the
hands and wrists warm.
• After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood circulation.
• Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day.
• Keep a tight grip on the handles.
• Only use the minisaw as intended by design and instructions.
• Ensure the minisaw is well maintained and in good condition.
io
n
• Maintain the minisaw in accordance with these instructions and keep it well lubricated.
N
R ot f
ep o
ro r

ct
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately discontinue use and see
your physician about these symptoms.
Battery safety warning
• Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the battery pack.
• Use only original Briggs & Stratton 18V batteries for the minisaw. Do not use any other battery
packs as this may create a risk of injury and/or fire.
• Do not open the battery to avoid danger of short-circuiting.
• Protect the battery against water, moisture and heat (e.g. continuous intense sunlight and fire)
to avoid danger of explosion.
• In case of damage or improrer use of battery, vapours may be emitted. In this situation,
ventilate the area and seek medical help as vapours may irritate respiratory system.
• The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or by force applied externally.
An internal short circuit can occur and the battery can burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
• Do not short-circuit battery to avoid danger of explosion.
Charger safety warning

Kickback Prevention
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 pines the 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.
Pining the 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 minisaw which could result
in serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your
minisaw. As a minisaw 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:
io
n
• Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles, with
both hands on the minisaw and your body and arm positioned 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 minisaw.
N
R ot f
ep o
ro r
du
ct
• Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. This helps prevent
unintended tip contact and enables better control of the minisaw in unexpected
situations.
• Only use replacement bars and chains specified. Incorrect replacement bars and
chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback. Follow the sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased chance of kickback.
WARNING
In order to prevent kickback, please follow these safety instructions:
Never cut with the tip of the guide bar! Be careful when continuing from previous cuts.
Always start cutting only when the chain is already running.
Make sure that the chain is always properly sharpened.
Never cut through more than one branch at a time! When lopping off branches, be
careful not to touch any other branches.
• When cross-cutting, pay attention to trunks standing very close to each other. If
possible, use a sawing trestle.
