Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WORK AREA 1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents. 2. DO NOT operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. 3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. ELECTRICAL SAFETY 1. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges or refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. 2. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. 3. Use outdoor extension leads. If working outdoors, always use an approved cable extension suitable for the power rating of this tool (see specifications), the conductor size should also be at least the same size as that on the machine, or larger. When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely. We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply via a Residual Current Device (RCD). PERSONAL SAFETY 1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. DO NOT use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in personal injury. 2. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. 3. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to the power supply. WARNING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS LISTED BELOW MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE AND/ OR SERIOUS INJURY. THE TERM “POWER TOOL” IN ALL WARNINGS LISTED BELOW REFERS TO YOUR ELECTRIC CHAINSAW.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com 4. DO NOT overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. 5. Dress properly. DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE 1. DO NOT force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate which it was designed. 2. DO NOT use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. 3. Disconnect the power before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. 4. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and DO NOT allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. 5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. 6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. 7. Use the power tool and accessories in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation. SERVICING 1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Contact CLARKE service department for more detail.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com CHAINSAW SAFETY WARNINGS 1. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chainsaw is operating. Before you start the chainsaw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating chainsaws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain. 2. It is recommended that the first time user should have practical instruction in the use of the chainsaw and recommended protective equipment from an experienced operator. The initial practice should be cutting logs on a saw horse or cradle. 3. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control. 4. Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle, as shown. Holding the chainsaw with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk of injury and should never be done. 5. Hold the chainsaw by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring or its own cable. Saw chains contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock. 6. Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head, hands, legs and feet must also be worn. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain. 7. DO NOT operate a chainsaw in a tree. Operation of a chainsaw while up in a tree may result in personal injury. 8. Always keep proper footing and operate the chainsaw only when standing on fixed, secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the chainsaw. 9. When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres is released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the chainsaw out of control. 10.Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com 11.Carry the chainsaw by the front handle with the chainsaw switched off and away from your body. When transporting or storing the chainsaw always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chainsaw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain. 12.Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback. 13.Cut wood only. DO NOT use the chainsaw for purposes not intended. For example: DO NOT use the chainsaw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the chainsaw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation. 14.Prolonged use of power tools has been reported to cause vascular, muscular, and/or neurological disorders (such as vibration white finger or Raynaud’s syndrome), particularly when operating the tool in cold weather. If you experience numbness or loss of feeling in your extremities, stop using the tool until symptoms fade. To reduce the incidence of vibration induced trauma, follow these instructions:

• Wear gloves and keep hands and body warm.
• Maintain a firm grip on the chainsaw, but DO NOT use prolonged, excessive pressure. Let the chainsaw do the work.
• Assure that the cutting system is maintained properly.
• Take frequent breaks. 15.Keep the power cord behind you, and know the position of the cord at all times. Keeping the cord behind you and knowing the position of the cord will help minimise tripping hazards and prevent severing the cord with the chainsaw. 16.If the cord is cut or damaged, immediately stop using the chainsaw and disconnect the cord from the mains. A damaged or cut cord increases the risk of electrical shock.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com CAUSES AND 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 pinches the saw 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. 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 personal injury. DO NOT rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw. As a chainsaw 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: 1. Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the chainsaw handles, with both hands on the saw and position your body and arm 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 chainsaw. 2. DO NOT overreach and DO NOT cut above shoulder height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better control of the chainsaw in unexpected situations. 3. Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/ or kickback. KICKBACK SAFETY DEVICES ON THIS SAW 1. Chain Brake. This chainsaw comes equipped with a chain brake, which stops both the motor and the motion of the chain when kickback occurs. The chain brake can be activated by the forward motion of the front hand-guard as the saw rotates backward during kickback; it can also be activated by the inertial forces generated from a kickback event. 2. Chain. This chainsaw comes equipped with a saw chain that meets the reduced kickback performance requirements of ISO 9518. 3. Bar. This saw comes equipped with a reduced kickback guide bar that has a small radius nose. Smaller radius noses have less potential for kickback.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com WARNING SYMBOLS The following symbols are displayed on the chainsaw in order to remind you of the safety precautions you should take during operation.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com Saw chains are made to cut wood only. DO NOT use the chainsaw to cut any other materials, and DO NOT allow the chain to come into contact with dirt, stones, nails, staples or wire. These materials are extremely abrasive and will wear away protective plating from the chain in a very short time. Sharpen or replace the saw chain if any of these conditions occur: 1. The pressure required to make cuts increases noticeably. 2. Wood chips coming off of the chain are very fine or dust like. DO NOT work with a dull chain as it will increase the effort required to cut, cause jagged cuts, increase wear on the chainsaw and increase the risk of kickback. NEVER force a dull chain to cut. 1. Assume the proper cutting grip and stance in front of the wood with the saw turned off. Press the trigger switch. Let the chain reach full speed before beginning the cut. 2. Begin cutting by lightly pressing the guide bar against the wood. Use only light pressure and let the saw do the work. 3. Maintain a steady speed throughout the cut releasing pressure just before the end of the cut. 4. Know the location of the cord at all times to avoid trip hazards and avoid cutting the cord. 5. Know the location of the tip of the bar at all times and avoid contact with other objects. 6. If the saw stops suddenly when cutting, remove the saw from the cut, then resume cutting using lighter pressure on the work piece. PRUNING Pruning is removing dead or overgrown branches to maintain plant health. 1. Plan retreat paths before beginning to cut, and make sure there are no obstructions. Always know how to get out of the way of falling branches. 2. Make sure bystanders or helpers are a safe distance from falling branches. Bystanders or helpers should not stand directly in front of or behind the operator. 3. Maintain solid footing and hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands. DO NOT overreach. NEVER climb a tree or ladder to reach high limbs. 4. Secure any branches that might be hazardous. WARNING: FALLING LIMBS MAY BOUNCE OR SPRING BACK AFTER THEY HIT THE GROUND SO IT IS ESSENTIAL TO KEEP THE GROUND CLEAR TO PROVIDE MULTIPLE RETREAT PATHS. CLEAR THE WORK AREA AND WEAR HEAD PROTECTION.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com 5. Use proper auxiliary equipment. 6. Prune lower limbs before pruning higher ones. 7. Allow the saw chain to achieve full speed before cutting. 8. Apply light pressure to the branch. 9. For long limbs, cut the end of the limb first (1) to relieve pressure from the limb, then prune closer to the trunk (2), as shown. 10. Thick limbs (greater than 10cm (4 inch) in diameter) can splinter or pinch the chain when making a single cut from the top. To avoid pinching or splintering, first make one shallow relief cut on the bottom surface of the limb (1), then cut the limb all the way through from the top of the limb (2) to match the bottom cut, as shown. 11. After most of the limb has been removed, make one smooth cut near the trunk, as shown.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com FELLING A TREE Felling is cutting down a tree. 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 and plan your retreat route. 1. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire from the tree where felling cuts are to be made. 2. When bucking and felling operations are being performed by two or more persons at the same time, separate the felling operation from the bucking operation by a distance of at least twice the height of the tree being felled. 3. 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 contacts any utility line, immediately leave the area and notify the utility company. 4. Use the metal spikes on the front of the saw to support the saw on the wood. Set metal spiked bumper into the wood and use as a leverage point to increase stability when cutting large diameter wood. NOTCHING UNDERCUT 1. First, make a notch 1/3 the diameter of the tree in the direction you want the tree to fall. Make the lower horizontal notching undercut first (1). This will help to avoid pinching of either the saw chain or the guide bar when the second cut (2) is being made, as shown. WARNING: A TREE IS LIKELY TO ROLL OR SLIDE DOWNHILL AFTER IT IS FELLED. PLAN AND CLEAR A RETREAT PATH BEFORE CUTS ARE STARTED. THE RETREAT PATH SHOULD EXTEND BACK AND DIAGONALLY TO THE REAR OF THE EXPECTED LINE OF FALL.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com FELLING BACK CUT 1. Second, make the felling back cut at least 50mm (2 inch) higher than the horizontal notching undercut, as shown. Keep the felling back cut parallel to the horizontal notching undercut. 2. 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. 3. As the felling cut gets close to the hinge, the tree should begin to fall under its own weight. 4. If there is any chance that the tree may not fall in the desired direction or it may rock back and bind the saw chain, stop cutting before the felling back cut is complete and use wedges of wood, plastic or aluminium to open the cut and drop the tree along the desired line of fall. 5. When the tree begins to fall, remove the chainsaw from the cut, stop the motor, put the chainsaw down, then use the retreat path planned. 6. Be alert for overhead limbs falling and watch footing. LIMBING A TREE Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen tree. 1. When limbing, leave large lower limbs to support the log off the ground. 2. Remove the small limbs in one cut. 3. Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the chainsaw, as shown. WARNING: LIMBS UNDER TENSION CAN SPRING BACK AND CONTACT THE OPERATOR OR THROW THE CHAINSAW OUT OF CONTROL RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY. ALWAYS BE ALERT FOR WOOD UNDER TENSION WHICH MAY STRIKE THE OPERATOR OR CHAINSAW WHEN CUT.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com BUCKING A LOG Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to make sure footing is firm and weight is evenly distributed on both feet. When possible, the log should be raised and supported by the use of limbs, logs or chocks. 1. When the log is supported along its entire length, cut from the top (overbuck), as shown. 2. When the log is supported on one end, cut 1/3 the diameter from the underside (underbuck), then make the finished cut by overbucking to meet the first cut, as shown. 3. When the log is supported on both ends, cut 1/3 of that diameter from the top overbuck, then make the finished cut by underbucking the lower 2/3 to meet the first cut, as shown. WARNING: BUCKING LOGS UNDER TENSION INCREASES THE CHANCE OF KICKBACK. USE ONE OF THE METHODS BELOW TO SUPPORT THE LOG WHEN BUCKING.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com 4. When bucking on a slope, always stand on the uphill side of the log, as shown. 5. To maintain complete control when cutting through, release the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing the grip on the chainsaw handles. 6. Don’t let the chain contact the ground. 7. After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you move the chainsaw. 8. Always stop the motor before moving from tree to tree. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING INSPECTION Before each use and if the chainsaw has been dropped, inspect these parts:

• Cord: Ensure the plug is in good condition and not bent or corroded, and that the insulation is intact. If the cord is damaged, DO NOT USE. Contact CLARKE parts/service department.
• Handles: Front and rear handles should not have cracks or other damage. They should be clean and dry.
• Front Hand Guard: The front hand guard should be free of damage and able to move easily back and forth. When moved, the front hand guard should activate the chain brake. WARNING: FAILURE TO IDENTIFY AND REPLACE DAMAGED OR WORN PARTS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. INSPECT THE CHAINSAW REGULARLY. REGULAR INSPECTION IS THE FIRST STEP TO PROPER MAINTENANCE. FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES BELOW TO MAXIMISE SAFETY AND SATISFACTION. HAVE ANY DAMAGED OR EXCESSIVELY WORN PARTS REPLACE IMMEDIATELY. WARNING: ALWAYS SWITCH THE CHAINSAW OFF, DISCONNECT FROM THE POWER SUPPLY AND LET THE CHAINSAW COOL DOWN BEFORE PERFORMING INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING WORK!
