Preparation
Carry out regular cleaning of the unit as described in the
maintenance section and in particular cleaning inside
the chain access cover (11).
The lower jaw (2) and top jaw (1) are designed to close
when one of the handles is released or when the piece
of branch being cut has been cut. If this does not occur,
discontinue use of the tool and remove the battery from
the tool.
Check if any debris is blocking movement. To help in
this process it may be necessary to remove the chain
access cover (11). If on assembly the problem is still
present, return the unit to an authorised service centre.
Switching on and off
Warning! Never attempt to lock or fix a switch actuator in the
on position.
For your safety, this tool is equipped with a double switching
system. This system prevents starting the tool inadvertently.
Switching on (fig. I)
Ensure a firm grip on the handles and then squeeze both
switch actuators (7) to switch the unit on.
Switching off (fig.I)
Release either of the switches.
Note: Both switches must be activated for the product to be
used.
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 saw chain.
If the saw chain (14) or guide bar (3) becomes jammed:
Switch the tool off.
Disconnect the battery from the tool.
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.
Trimming branches (fig. J)
Ensure that there are no local by-laws or regulations that
would prohibit or control the trimming of the tree limbs.
Make sure the tool is running at full speed before
making a cut.
Hold the tool firmly in place to avoid possible bouncing
or sideways movement of the tool.
Guide the tool using light pressure.
Always cut down from the top. This way you will avoid
pinching the saw chain (14).
Remove branches as shown in figure I. Starting from the
branch tip, reduce the branch in logical steps cutting off
small sections.
Remove the tool from the cut while it is running at full
speed.
Maintenance
Your Black & Decker corded/cordless appliance/tool has
been designed to operate over a long period of time with a
minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.
Warning! Before performing any maintenance on corded/
cordless power tools:
Switch off and unplug the appliance/tool.
Or switch off and remove the battery from the appliance/
tool if the appliance/tool has a separate battery pack.
Or run the battery down completely if it is integral and
then switch off.
Unplug the charger before cleaning it. Your charger
does not require any maintenance apart from regular
cleaning.
Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your appliance/tool/
charger using a soft brush or dry cloth.
Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth. Do
not use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.
Regularly open the chuck and tap it to remove any dust from
the interior (when fitted).
Cleaning
Regularly remove the chain access cover (11) and
remove any debris that has become trapped.
Regularly clean the ventilation slots with a clean, dry
paint brush.
To clean the tool, use only mild soap and a damp cloth.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool and never
immerse any part of the tool into liquid.
Oiling
Regularly oil the oiling points (15) as indicated in
figure D.
Transport
Always transport the tool with the jaws closed and the
latch (5) in the locked position.
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
Black & Decker saw chain sharpening kit A6039 (available
from Black & Decker service agents and selected dealers).
