Black & Decker LLP120 Oiling fig, Switching on and off fig. J, Switching on fig. K

Oiling (fig. I)	I
A high quality bar and chain oil or
SAE30 weight motor oil should be
used for chain and bar lubrication.
The use of a vegetable based bar
and chain oil is recommended when
pruning trees. Never use waste oil
or very thick oil. These may damage
your chain saw.	5
- Before first use and every ten
	16
minutes of use you must oil the
product with the recommended
chain oil. Open the oiling cover (4)
and insert the bottle into the oil filling hole (16) apply pressure to the
bottle once to dispense oil.
- This should be adequate for about 10 minutes of cutting
depending upon cutting speed and type of wood.
- The hole feeds the oil through to the chain onto the chain bar
and an excessive amount of oil applied to the unit could mean the
oil drips from the unit around the jaw area. This is normal and is
nothing to be concerned about.
Switching on and off (fig. J)
For your safety, this tool is equipped with a double switching
system. This system prevents starting the tool inadvertently.
A chain saw is intended for two-handed use. Serious injury to the
operator, helpers, and/or bystanders can result from one-handed
operation.	J

Switching on (fig. K)		K
To open the handles, slide the latch (5)
backwards and pull the handles apart.
Ensure a firm grip on the handles and		5
then squeeze both switch actuators to
switch the unit on.
Note: Both switches must be
activated for the product to be used.
Do not force the tool - allow it to do
the work. It will do a better and safer job at the speed for which it is
designed. Excessive force will stretch the chain.
If the saw chain or bar becomes jammed:
-	Switch the tool off.
-	Remove the battery from the tool.
-	Open the cut with wedges to relieve the strain on the guide bar.
Do not try to wrench the saw free. Start a fresh cut. After use, close
the handles and slide the latch (5) forward to the lock position. The
handles should be locked during transportation and storage.
Trimming branches
-	Make sure the tool is running at full speed before making a cut.
-	Hold the tool firmly in place to avoid possible bouncing or
sideways movement of the tool.
-	Guide the tool using light pressure.
-	Always cut down from the top. This way you will avoid pinching
the saw chain.
- Remove branches as shown in Fig L.
Starting from branch tip reduce		L
the branch in logical steps cutting
off small sections. “When cutting a
limb that is under tension be aware
of spring back.
-	When the tension in the wood
fibres are released the spring
loaded limb may strike the operator
and /or throw the tool out of control”
-	Remove the tool from the cut
while it is running at full speed.
