•Before you start chain saw, make sure saw chain is not contacting any object.

•Do not operate a chain saw with one hand! Serious injury to the operator, helpers, or bystanders may result from one handed operation. A chain saw is intended for two-handed use only.

•Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or grease.

•Do not allow dirt, debris, or sawdust to build up on the motor or outside air vents.

•Stop the chain saw before setting it down.

•Do not cut vines and/or small under brush.

•Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and saplings because slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

•lead from lead-based paints,

•crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

•arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

•Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.

CCS818, CCS818R specifications

The Black & Decker CCS818 and CCS818R are innovative cordless electric saws designed for both professional and home use. These lightweight chainsaws are powered by an 18-volt lithium-ion battery, providing the freedom of movement without the constraints of a cord, making them perfect for a variety of cutting tasks in the garden or around the property.

One of the key features of the CCS818 and CCS818R is their 8-inch cutting bar, which allows for efficient cutting of limbs and small trees while ensuring portability and ease of use. Despite their compact size, these saws are capable of cutting through material with confidence, thanks to their robust chain system that grips and cuts smoothly through wood.

In terms of technology, the CCS818 models integrate an automatic oiling system to ensure the chain operates smoothly while reducing wear and tear.

The ergonomic design of the CCS818 and CCS818R further enhances their usability. The saws are equipped with a wraparound handle, providing a secure and comfortable grip, which reduces hand fatigue during extended use. The lightweight design also makes these saws user-friendly, especially for those who may not have prior experience handling a chainsaw.

Another characteristic worth mentioning is the tool-free chain tensioning system. This feature allows users to make chain adjustments quickly and easily without the need for additional tools, thus improving workflow efficiency. The CCS818 and CCS818R are also designed with safety in mind, equipped with a chain brake that helps prevent accidents and ensures safe operation.

In summary, the Black & Decker CCS818 and CCS818R chainsaws provide a perfect blend of power and convenience for anyone in need of a reliable cutting tool.
