General Safety Rules

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 of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

1)Work area

a)Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

b)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 perfumes.

c)Keep children and bystanders

away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2)Electrical safety

a)Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b)Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c)Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of

electric shock.

d)Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

d)When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

3)Personal safety

a)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 serious personal injury.

b)Use safety equipment.

Always wear eye protection.

Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Avoid accidental starting.

Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d)Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

The Black & Decker CS718-AE is a versatile and powerful electric chainsaw designed for both beginner and experienced users. This model is especially suitable for gardening enthusiasts and those who require a reliable tool for various cutting tasks around their home or garden. With a 750W motor, the CS718-AE delivers ample power for cutting through branches, logs, and other types of wood quickly and efficiently.

One of the main features of the CS718-AE is its 18-inch cutting bar, which allows users to handle larger tasks without sacrificing maneuverability. This bar length is ideal for pruning, cutting firewood, and clearing fallen branches after a storm. The chainsaw utilizes an automatic oiling system that ensures the bar and chain are continually lubricated during operation, reducing wear and tear and prolonging the life of the tool.

The Black & Decker CS718-AE is equipped with a tool-free chain tensioning system. This feature allows users to easily adjust the chain tension without requiring any additional tools, ensuring optimal performance and safety during use.

Overall, the Black & Decker CS718-AE stands out due to its combination of power, safety features, and ease of use. Whether you're trimming branches, cutting logs, or tackling any other outdoor woodwork, this chainsaw provides performance and reliability, making it a worthwhile addition to any toolkit.
