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

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.
