– Always mix and add fuel in a clean, well-ventilated outdoor
area where there are no sparks or flames. DO NOT smoke.
– Never operate the chainsaw without the fuel cap securely in
place.
– Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel. Wipe up any
spilled fuel from the chainsaw immediately, before starting the chainsaw. Move the chainsaw at least 30 ft. (9.1 m) from the fueling source and site before starting the engine. DO NOT smoke.
– Never start or run the chainsaw inside a closed room or
building. Breathing exhaust fumes can kill. Operate this chainsaw only in a well ventilated outdoor area.
While Operating
– Carefully inspect the area before starting the chainsaw.
Remove rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, string and other objects that may be thrown or become entangled with the chainsaw.
– Clear the area of children, bystanders and pets; keep them
outside a 50-foot (15m) radius, at a minimum. Even then, they are still at risk from thrown objects. Encourage bystanders to wear eye protection. If you are approached, stop the chainsaw immediately.
– Squeeze the throttle control and check that it returns
automatically to the idle position. Make all adjustments or repairs before using the chainsaw.
WARNING
The following safety instructions must be observed while operating your chainsaw.
– When a chainsaw is being used, a fire extinguisher should be
available.
– Wear safety glasses or goggles that meet current ANSI Z87.1
standards and are marked as such. Wear ear/hearing protection when operating this chainsaw. Wear a face mask or dust mask if the operation is dusty. Use a hard hat or other type of safety helmet.

100647 - CHAINSAW
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
– Avoid accidental starting. Be in the starting position whenever
pulling the starter rope. The operator and chainsaw must be in a stable position while starting. Refer to Starting and Stopping.
– Only use this chainsaw for its intended purpose: to cut wood.
Do not use the chainsaw for cutting plastic, masonry or other non-wood building materials. Only use the chainsaw as described in this manual.
– Keep all body parts away from the saw chain when the
chainsaw is running. Do not touch or try to stop moving parts.
– When carrying a chainsaw with the engine running always
engage the chain brake.
– Do not touch the engine or muffler. These parts get extremely
hot from operation, even after the chainsaw is turned off.
– Do not operate the chainsaw faster than the speed needed to
do the job. Do not run the chainsaw at high speed when not in use.
– Do not force the chainsaw, especially near the end of a cut. It
will do a better, safer job when used at the intended rate.
– Always turn the engine off when operation is delayed, when
setting the chainsaw down or when carrying the chainsaw from one location to another. Make sure all moving parts come to a complete stop.
– Carry the chainsaw by the front handle with the muffler
positioned away from the body and the guide bar positioned to the rear. Cover the guide bar and saw chain with the scabbard when carrying the chainsaw.
– If you strike or become entangled with a foreign object, stop
the chainsaw immediately and check for damage. Do not operate the chainsaw before repairing damage. Do not operate the chainsaw with loose or damaged parts.
– Use only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement
parts and accessories for this chainsaw. These are available from Champion or other qualified service dealer. Use of any other parts or accessories could lead to injury to the user, or damage to the chainsaw, and void the warranty.
– Keep the chainsaw clean. Carefully remove vegetation and
other debris that could block moving parts.
– To reduce fire hazard, replace a faulty muffler and spark
arrestor. Keep the engine and muffler free from grass, leaves, excessive grease or carbon build up.
– If the chainsaw starts to vibrate abnormally, stop the chainsaw
immediately. Inspect the chainsaw for the cause of the vibration. Vibration is generally an indicator of trouble.
– Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
Do not start cutting until the work area is clear and free from obstructions. Make sure there is secure footing and a planned retreat path from falling trees or branches.
– For safer, more effective performance, make sure the guide
bar and chain are properly cleaned, lubricated, tightened and sharpened. Check the guide bar and chain at frequent intervals for proper adjustment.
– When cutting a limb that is under tension, use extreme
caution. When the tension is released, the limb could spring back and strike the operator, causing severe injury or death.
– Use extreme caution when cutting small-sized brush and
saplings, as slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward the operator or pull the operator off balance.
– This saw is classified by UL as a Class 1C saw in accordance
with CSA Z62.1-03. It is intended for infrequent use by homeowners, cottagers and campers, and for general applications such as clearing, pruning, cutting firewood, etc. It is not intended for prolonged use. If the intended use involves prolonged periods of operation, this may cause circulatory problems in the user’s hands due to vibration.
– Do not operate the chainsaw in a tree or on a ladder unless
specifically trained to do so.
– Never remove, modify or make inoperative any safety device
furnished with the chainsaw.
– Do not use the chainsaw in the presence of flammable liquids
or gases.
– Do not attempt operations beyond the operator’s capacity or
experience.
– Do not operate a chainsaw that is damaged, improperly
adjusted or not completely and securely assembled. Make sure moving parts stop when the throttle control trigger is released or the chainsaw is turned off. Do not use the chainsaw if it does not turn on and off properly. Have defective parts replaced by Champion or other qualified service dealer.
Kickback Safety
WARNING
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. In some cases, tip contact may cause a lightening-fast reverse action, kicking the guide bar rapidly back to wards 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 a loss of control over the saw, which could result in serious injury to the user. Contact with foreign objects within the wood can also induce a loss of chain saw control.
– Do not cut near electrical cables or power lines. Keep at least
50 feet (15 m) away from all power lines.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Understanding Kickback
A basic understanding of kickback can help reduce or eliminate the element of surprise and the chance of kickback-related injury. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.
Rotational Kickback can happen when the upper tip of
the guide bar contacts an object while the chain is moving (Fig. A). This can cause the chain to dig into the object and momentarily stop moving. The guide bar is then kicked up and back toward the operator in a lightning-fast reverse reaction.
Linear Kickback can happen when the wood on either side
of a cut closes in and pinches the moving saw chain along the top of the guide bar (Fig. B). This can cause the chain to instantly stop. The chain force is then reversed, causing the saw to move in the opposite direction, sending the saw straight back toward the operator.
Pull-In can happen when the moving chain on the bottom
of the guide bar hits a foreign object inside the wood. This can cause the chain to suddenly stop. The saw is then pulled forward and away from the operator, which could potentially result in the loss of control of the saw.
Rotational
Kickback
– Make sure the area of operation is free from obstructions.
Do not let the tip of the guide bar contact any object, such as a log, branch, the ground or other obstruction.
– Always inspect the wood before cutting. Foreign objects could
damage the chainsaw or cause serious personal injury. Never cut through nails, metal rods, railroad ties or pallets.
– Do not operate the chainsaw with one hand! Serious injury to
the operator, helpers or bystanders may result from one­handed operation. This chainsaw is intended for two-handed use. Always grip the chainsaw firmly with both hands when the chainsaw is running. Hold the front handle with the left hand and the rear handle with the right hand. Firmly encircle the handles with the thumbs and fingers. Do not let go. A firm grip will help maintain control of the chainsaw and reduce the chance of kickback.
– Stand slightly to the left of the chainsaw to avoid being in the
direct line of the saw chain.
– Never start the saw when the guide bar is inside an existing
cut. Be extremely careful when re-entering a cut.
– Always begin a cut with the chainsaw running at full speed.
Fully squeeze the throttle control and maintain a steady cutting speed. Slower speeds increase the chance of kickback.
– Keep the saw housing pressed firmly against the wood.

Kickback Safety Precautions
Take the following steps to reduce the chance of accident or injury:
Figure B
– Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into the
chainsaw.
– Do not cut more than one log or branch at a time.
– Do not twist the chainsaw when removing the guide bar from
a cut.
– Watch out for shifting objects (logs, branches, etc.) that might
pinch or fall onto the saw chain during operation.
– Only use wedges made of wood or plastic. Do not use metal to
hold a cut open.
– Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain.
– Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the
manufacturer or the equivalent. These are available from Champion or other qualified service dealer. Use of any unauthorized parts or accessories could lead to serious injury to the operator or damage to the chainsaw and will void the warranty.
– Use devices that reduce the risks associated with
kickback,such as low-kickback chains, guide bar nose guards, chain brakes and low-kickback guide bars. There are no other replacement components for achieving kickback protection in accordance with CSA Z62.3.
– Do not cut above shoulder height.
– Do not over reach. Always keep proper footing and balance.
Take extra care when working on steep slopes or inclines.
– Do not make cuts with the tip of the guide bar.

100647 - CHAINSAW
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
– A low-kickback saw chain is a chain that has met the kickback
performance requirements of ANSI/OPEI B175.1-2012 when tested according to the provisions specified in ANSI/OPEI B175.1-2012. A low-kickback saw chain is a chain that is also in accordance with CSA Z62.3. Do not use a replacement saw chain unless it has met these requirements for this specific model or has been designated as a low-kickback replacement saw chain in accordance with ANSI/OPEI B175.1-2012. As saw chains are sharpened, some of the low-kickback qualities are lost and extra caution should be used.
– Do not install a bow guide on this chainsaw. Bow guides have
larger kickback zones, which increase the chance of kickback and serious injury. This increase is not significantly reduced by using a low-kickback saw chain. Using a bow guide on this chainsaw is extremely dangerous.
Other Safety Warnings
– Follow all maintenance instructions in this manual.
– All service, other than the maintenance procedures described
in this manual, should be performed by a Champion qualified service dealer.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
