IDENTIFICATION OF SYMBOLS

WARNING!

This chain saw can be dangerous! Careless or improper use

can cause serious or even fatal injury.

Read and understand the instruction manual before using the chain saw.

Always use two hands when operating the chain saw.

WARNING!

Contacting the guide bar tip with any object
should be avoided; tip contact may cause the guide bar to
move suddenly upward and backward, which may cause se­rious injury.

Always wear ear protection.

SAFETY RULES

WARNING

:

Always disconnect
spark plug wire and place wire where it can­not contact spark plug to prevent accidental
starting when setting up, transporting, ad­justing or making repairs except carburetor
adjustments.
Because a chain saw is a high-speed wood­cutting tool, special safety precautions must
be observed to reduce the risk of accidents.
Careless or improper use of this tool can
cause serious injury.

PLAN AHEAD

S

Read this manual carefully until you com­pletely understand and can follow all safe­ty rules, precautions, and operating in­structions before attempting to use the
unit.

S

Restrict the use of your saw to adult users
who understand and can follow safety
rules, precautions, and operating instruc­tions found in this manual.

Safety Hat

S

Wear protective gear. Always use steel­toed safety footwear with non-slip soles;
snug-fitting clothing; heavy-duty, non-slip
gloves; eye protection such as non-fog­ging, vented goggles or face screen; an
approved safety hard hat; and sound barri­ers (ear plugs or mufflers) to protect your
hearing. Regular users should have hear­ing checked regularly as chain saw noise
can damage hearing. Secure hair above
shoulder length.

S

Keep all parts of your body away from the
chain when the engine is running.

S

Keep children, bystanders, and animals a
minimum of 10 Meters away from the work
area. Do not allow other people or animals
to be near the chain saw when starting or
operating the chain saw.

S

Do not handle or operate a chain saw
when you are fatigued, ill, or upset, or if you
have taken alcohol, drugs, or medication.
Y ou must be in good physical condition
and mentally alert. Chain saw work is
strenuous. If you have any condition that
might be aggravated by strenuous work,

check with your doctor before operating a
chain saw.

S

Carefully plan your sawing operation in ad­vance. Do not start cutting until you have a
clear work area, secure footing, and, if you
are felling trees, a planned retreat path.

OPERATE YOUR SAW SAFELY

S

Do not operate a chain saw with one hand.
Serious injury to the operator, helpers, by­standers or any combination of these per­sons may result from one-handed opera­tion. A chain saw is intended for
two-handed use.

S

Operate the chain saw only in a well-venti­lated outdoor area.

S

Do not operate saw from a ladder or in a
tree, unless you are specifically trained to
do so.

S

Make sure the chain will not make contact
with any object while starting the engine.
Never try to start the saw when the guide
bar is in a cut.

S

Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of
the cut. Applying pressure can cause you to
lose control when the cut is completed.

S

Stop the engine before setting the saw
down.

S

Be alert for springback when cutting a limb
that is under tension so you will not be
struck by the limb or saw when the tension
in the wood fibers is released.

MAINTAIN YOUR SAW IN GOOD
WORKING ORDER

S

Have all chain saw service performed by a
qualified service dealer with the exception of
the items listed in the maintenance section of
this manual. For example, if improper tools
are used to remove or hold the flywheel
when servicing the clutch, structural damage
to the flywheel can occur and cause the fly­wheel to burst.

S

Make certain the saw chain stops moving
when the throttle trigger is released. For
correction, refer to “Carburetor Adjust­ments.”

S

Never modify your saw in any way. Use
only attachments supplied or specifically
recommended by the manufacturer.

S

Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil
or fuel mixture.

S

With the engine stopped, hand carry the
chain saw with the muffler away from your
body, and the guide bar and chain to the
rear, preferably covered with a guide bar
cover.

S

Keep fuel and oil caps, screws, and fas­teners securely tightened.

S

Use only Jonsered accessories and re­placement parts as recommended.

HANDLE FUEL WITH CAUTION

S

Do not smoke while handling fuel or while
operating the saw.

S

Eliminate all sources of sparks or flame in
the areas where fuel is mixed or poured.
There should be no smoking, open flames,

4

or work that could cause sparks. Allow en­gine to cool before refueling.

S

Mix and pour fuel in an outdoor area on bare
ground; store fuel in a cool, dry, well venti­lated place; and use an approved, marked
container for all fuel purposes. Wipe up all
fuel spills before starting saw.

S

Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) from fuel­ing site before starting engine.

S

Turn the engine off and let saw cool in a
non-combustible area, not on dry leaves,
straw, paper, etc. Slowly remove fuel cap
and refuel unit.

S

Store the unit and fuel in an area where fuel
vapors cannot reach sparks or open
flames from water heaters, electric motors
or switches, furnaces, etc.

KICKBACK

WARNING

:

Kickback can occur
when the moving chain contacts an object at
the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar or
when the wood closes in and pinches the
saw chain in the cut. Contact at the upper
portion of the tip of the guide bar can cause
the chain to dig into the object, which stops
the chain for an instant. The result is a light­ning fast, reverse reaction which kicks the
guide bar up and back toward the operator. If
the saw chain is pinched along the top of the
guide bar, the guide bar can be driven rapidly
back toward the operator. Either of these
reactions can cause loss of saw control
which can result in serious injury.

Guard

against kickback.
Rotational Kickback

is the rapid upward
and backward motion of the chain saw that
can occur when the moving saw chain near
the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar
contacts an object such as a log or a branch.
Pinch-Kickback and Pull-In occur when the
chain is suddenly stopped by being pinched,
caught, or by contacting a foreign object in
the wood. This sudden stopping of the chain
results in a reversal of the chain force used to
cut wood and causes the saw to move in the
opposite direction of the chain rotation.
Pinch-Kickback drives the saw straight back
toward the operator. Pull-In pulls the saw
away from the operator. Either reaction can
result in loss of control and serious injury.

Avoid Pinch--Kickback:

S

Be extremely aware of situations or obstruc­tions that can cause material to pinch the top
of or otherwise stop the chain.

S

Do not cut more than one log at a time.

S

Do not twist the saw as the bar is with­drawn from an undercut when bucking.

Avoid Pull--In:

S

Always begin cutting with the engine at full
speed and the saw housing against wood.

S

Use wedges made of plastic or wood.
Never use metal to hold the cut open.

Kickback Path

Avoid Obstructions

Clear The Working Area

REDUCETHECHANCEOF
KICKBACK

S

Recognize that kickback can happen.
With a basic understanding of kickback,
you can reduce the element of surprise
which contributes to accidents.

S

Never let the moving chain contact any ob­ject at the tip of the guide bar.

S

Keep the working area free from obstruc­tions such as other trees, branches, rocks,
fences, stumps, etc. Eliminate or avoid any
obstruction that your saw chain could hit
while you are cutting through a particular log
or branch.

S

Keep your saw chain sharp and properly
tensioned. A loose or dull chain can increase
the chance of kickback occurring. Follow
manufacturer’s chain sharpening and main­tenance instructions. Check tension at regu­lar intervals with the engine stopped, never
with the engine running. Make sure the bar
clamp nuts are securely tightened after ten­sioning the chain.

S

Begin and continue cutting at full speed. If
the chain is moving at a slower speed,
there is greater chance of kickback occur­ring.

S

Cut one log at a time.

S

Use extreme caution when re-entering a
previous cut.

S

Do not attempt cuts starting with the tip of
the bar (plunge cuts).

S

Watch for shifting logs or other forces that
could close a cut and pinch or fall into chain.

S

Use the Reduced--Kickback Guide Bar
and Low--Kickback Chain specified for
your saw.
