manufacturer for the equipment.

l) Keep battery pack clean and dry.
m) Wipe the battery pack terminals with a

clean, dry cloth if they become dirty.

n) Battery pack needs to be charged

before use. Always use the
correct charger and refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions or
equipment manual for proper
charging instructions.

o) Do not leave battery pack on

prolonged charge when not in use.

p) After extended periods of storage,

it may be necessary to charge
and discharge the battery pack
several times to obtain maximum
performance.

q) Battery pack gives its best performance

when it is operated at normal room
temperature (20°C

5°C/68°F

9°F).

r) When disposing of battery packs,

keep battery packs of different
electrochemical systems separate
from each other.

s) Recharge only with the charger

specified by Yardworks

. Do not

use any charger other than that

specifically provided for use with the

equipment.

A charger that is suitable for

one type of battery pack may create a

risk of fire when used with another battery

pack.

t) Retain the original product literature

for future reference.

u) Use only the battery pack in the

application for which it was intended.

v) Remove the battery from the

equipment when not in use.

w) Dispose of properly.

Instructions concerning the proper
techniques for basic felling, limbing, and
cross-cutting:

1. Felling a tree

When bucking and felling operations are
being performed by two or more persons at
the same time, the felling operations should
be separated from the bucking operation by
a distance of at least twice the height of the
tree being felled. Trees should not be felled
in a manner that would endanger any person,
strike any utility line or cause any property
damage. If the tree does make contact
with any utility line, the company should be

notified immediately.

The chainsaw operator should keep on the
uphill side of the terrain as the tree is likely to
roll or slide downhill after it is felled.
An escape path should be planned and
cleared as necessary before cuts are started.
The escape path should extend back and
diagonally to the rear of the expected line of
fall as illustrated in Figure 1.
Before felling is started, consider the natural
lean of the tree, the location of larger
branches and the wind direction to judge
which way the tree will fall.
Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails,
staples and wire from the tree.

2. Notching undercut

Make the notch 1/3 the diameter of the
tree, perpendicular to the direction of fall as
illustrated in Figure 1. Make the lower horizontal

notching cut (W) first. This will help to avoid

pinching either the saw chain or the guide bar
when the second notch (X) is being made.

3. Felling back cut

Make the felling back cut (Y) at least
2” (5 cm) higher than the horizontal notching
cut as illustrated in Figure 1. Keep the felling
back cut parallel to the horizontal notching
cut. Make the felling back cut so enough
wood is left to act as a hinge. The hinge wood
keeps the tree from twisting and falling in the
wrong direction. Do not cut through the hinge.
As the felling gets close to the hinge, the tree
