OPERATEYOUR SAW SAFELY

• Do not operate with one hand. Sed-

ous injury to the operator,helpers, or

bystandersmay resultfrom one-
handed operation. A chainsaw is In-

tended for two-hand_lduse. ....

• Operate the chain saw only in a well-

ventilated outdoorarea.

• Do notoperate saw from a ladder or

in a tree, unlessyou are specifically
trained to doso.

• Make sure the chainwill not make

contactwith any objectwhile starting
the engine. Never tryto startthe saw

when the guidebar is in a cut.

• Do notput pressure on the saw, ss-
pecially at the end of the cut. Doing
so can cause you to lose control

when the cut is completed.

• Stop engine before setting saw down.

• Hand carry saw onlywhen engine is
stopped. Carry with muffleraway from

body.guide bar & chain projectingbe-

hindyou; guide bar preferably cov-
ered with a scabbard.

• Storethe unitand fuel in e cool, dry

well ventilatedspace where fuel va-
pors cannot reach sparks or open

flames from water heaters, electdc

motorsorswitches, fumaces, etc.

WORKING ORDER

• Have all chain saw sewice performed
by a qualified service dealer except

the items listed in the maintenance

section ofthis manual.

• Make certain the saw chain stops

the chain is suddenly stopped bybeing

pinched, caught, or by contacting a for-
eign object inthe wood. This sudden
stopping ofthe chain resultsin a rever-

sal of the chainforce used to cut wood

and causes the saw to move in the op-
positedirection of the chain rotation.

REDUCE THE CHANCE OF

Keep warldngarea free from obstruc-
tionssuch as other trees, branches,
rocks,fences, stumps,etc. Eliminate

or avoid any obstructionthatyour saw

• Keep saw chainsharp andpropedy

increase the chance of kickback. Fol-

tension st regular Intervals,but never
with engine running. Make .surebar

• Begin and continue cuttingat full

speed. If the cbaln is+movingat a

slowerspeed,"thereis greater chance
of kickbackoccurring,

• Use extreme caution when reentanng

a cut.

• Do notattempt cuts starling withthe

tip ofthe bar(plunge cuts).

• Watch forshifting logs or other forces

that couldclose a cut and pinchor fall

intochain.

• Use the specified Reduced-Kickba.ek
Guide Bar and Low-KickbankChain.

Avoid Pinch-Kickback:

• Be extremely aware of situations or
obstructionsthat can cause matedal

to pinch the top of or otherwise stop
thechain.

• Do not cut more than one log at a

time.

• Do not twist saw as bar iswithdrawn

from an undercut when bucking.

Avoid Pull-In:

• Always begin cuttingwith the engine
at full speed and the saw housing

against wood.

• Use wedges made of plastic or wood.

Never use metal to hold the cut open.

MAINTAIN CONTROL

Stand to the left of the saw

keep your body from being in a direct
linewith the cutting chain.

• Stand with your weight evenly bal-
armed on'both feet.

• Do notoverreach.You couldbe drawn

orthrown offbalance and losecontrol

• Do not cut above shoulderheight. It is

difficultto maintain control of saw
above shoulderheight.

OPERATING TIPS

• Check chain tensionbefore firstuse
and after J minute of operation.See

Chain Tension in the Maintenance
section.

• Cut wood only. Do not cut metal, plas-
tics, masonry, non-woodbuildingma-
tadals, etc..

•, Stopthe saw ifthe chain strikes a for-
algn object. Inspectthe saw and re-

pairparts as necessary.

• Keep thechainout of dirtand send.

Even a small amount ofdirt will quick-
lydulla chain and Increase the possi-

bilityof kickback.

• Practice cutting a few small logs using

the followingsteps. This willhelpyou
get the "feel"of usingyoursaw before

you begin a major sewing operation.

• Squeeze the throttle trigger and ak
lowthe engine to reach fullspeed

beforecuffing.

• Begincuttingwiththe saw frame
againstthe log.

• Keep the engineat full speed the
entiretime you are cutting.

• Allowthe chain to cut for you. Exert

onlylightdownward pressure.

• Release'the throttlerigger as soon

asthe cut iscompleted, allowingthe
engineto idle. If you run the saw at
fullthrottlewithouta cutting load,

unnecessarywear can occur. .

• Toavoid losingcontrolwhen cut is
complete, do notput pressure on
