• Reduced Kickback Chain - A chain that complies with the kickback
performance requirements of ISO 9518: 1998 (when tested on a
representative sample of chain saws.
• Reduced Kickback Guide Bar - A guide bar which has been
demonstrated to reduce kickback significantly.
• Replacement Saw Chain - A chain that complies with kickback
performance requirements of ISO 9518: 1998 when tested with
specific chain saws. It may not meet the ANSI performance
requirements when used with other saws.
• Saw Chain - A loop of chain having cutting teeth, that cut the wood,
and that is driven by the motor and is supported by the guide bar.
• Spiked Bumper (Spike) - The pointed tooth or teeth for use when
pruning to pivot the saw and maintain position while sawing.
• Switch - A device that when operated will complete or interrupt an
electrical power circuit to the motor of the chain saw.
• Switch Lockout - A movable stop that prevents the unintentional
operation of the switch until manually actuated.
• Trimming (Pruning) - Process of cutting limbs from a tree.
• Undercut - An upward cut from underside of a log or limb. This
is done while in normal cutting position and cutting with top of

STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Store indoors. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away
from direct sunlight, excess heat or cold and out of the reach of children.
2. Always reduce the tension off the chain again after finishing work. The chain
contracts as it cools down. If tension is not reduced, it can damage the saw.
Transporting Pole Saw
• Always unplug the extension cord from the Pole Saw and cover the
chain with the scabbard when transporting the Pole Saw.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BATTERY CHARGERS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important
safety instructions for battery chargers.
• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings
on charger, battery pack, and product using battery pack.
WARNING:
Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get
inside charger.
CAUTION:
Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge
only designated Black+Decker batteries. Other types of batteries
may burst causing personal injury and damage.
CAUTION:
Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged
in to the power supply, the charger can be shorted by foreign
material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not
limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic
particles should be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug
the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in
the cavity. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
• The charger supplied with this product is intended to be
plugged in such that it is correctly orientated in a vertical or
floor mount position.
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers
other than the ones in this manual. The charger and battery
pack are specifically designed to work together.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other than
charging designated Black+Decker rechargeable batteries.
Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock
or electrocution.
• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger.
This will reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord.
• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary.
Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric
shock, or electrocution.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG
or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge
number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16
gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than
6
