vance. Donot 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
Donot operate a chain saw with one hand.
S
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.
Operate the chain saw only in a well-venti-
S
lated outdoor area.
Do not operate saw from a ladder or in a
S
tree, unless you are specifically trained to
do so.
Make sure the chain will not make contact
S
with any object while starting the engine.
Never try to start the saw when the guide
bar is in a cut.
Do not put pressure on the saw at the endof
S
the cut. Applying pressure can cause you to
lose control when the cut is completed.
Stop the engine before setting the saw
S
down.
Do not operate a chain saw that is dam-
S
aged, improperly adjusted, or not completely and securely assembled. Always
replace bar, chain, hand guard, or chain
brake immediately if it becomes damaged,
broken or is otherwise removed.
With the engine stopped, hand carry the
S
chain sawwith the muffler away from your
body, and the guide bar and chain to the
rear, preferably covered with a scabbard.
MAINTAIN YOUR SAW IN GOOD
WORKING ORDER
Have all chain saw service performed by a
S
qualified service dealer with the exception of
the items listed in the maintenance sectionof
this manual. For example, if improper tools
are used to remove or hold the flywheel
whenservicingtheclutch, structuraldamage
to the flywheel can occur and cause the flywheel to burst.
Make certain the saw chain stops moving
S
when the throttle trigger is released. For
correction, refer to CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS.
Never modify your saw in any way. Use
S
only attachments supplied or specifically
recommended by the manufacturer.
Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil
S
or fuel mixture.
Keep fuel and oil caps, screws, and fas-
S
teners securely tightened.
Use only JonseredRaccessories and re-
S
placement parts as recommended.
HANDLE FUEL WITH CAUTION
Do not smoke while handling fuel or while
S
operating the saw.
Eliminate all sources of sparks or flame in
S
the areas where fuel is mixed or poured.
There should be no smoking, open flames,
orworkthat could cause sparks. Allow engine to cool before refueling.
3
Mix and pour fuel in an outdoor area on bare
S
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.
Moveat least 10 feet (3 meters) from fuel-
S
ing site before starting engine.
Turn the engine off and let saw cool in a
S
non-combustible area, not on dry leaves,
straw, paper, etc. Slowly remove fuel cap
and refuel unit.
Store the unit andfuel in anarea wherefuel
S
vapors cannot reach sparks or open
flames from water heaters, electric motors

KICKBACK
Avoid kickback which
WARNING
can result in serious injury.
backward, upward orsudden forward motion
of the guide bar occurring when the saw
chain near the upper tip oftheguide barcontacts any object such as a log or branch, or
when the wood closes in and pinches the
sawchain in the cut. Contacting a foreign object in the wood can also result in loss of
chain saw control.
Rotational Kickback
S
moving chain contacts an object at the upper tip of the guide bar. This contact 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.
Pinch-Kickback
S
wood closes in and pinches the moving
saw chain in the cut along the top of the
guide bar and the saw chain is suddenly
stopped. This sudden stopping of the
chain results in a reversal of the chain
force used to cut wood and causes the
sawto move in theopposite direction of the
chain rotation. The saw is driven straight
back toward the operator.
Pull-In
S
contacts a foreign object in the wood in the
cut along the bottom of the guidebar andthe
sawchainis suddenlystopped. This sudden
stopping pulls the saw forward and away
fromtheoperatorand could easily cause the
operator to lose control of the saw.
Avoid Pinch--Kickback:
Be extremely aware of situations or obstruc-
S
tions that can cause material to pinch thetop
of or otherwise stop the chain.
Do not cut more than one log at a time.
S
Do not twist the saw as the bar is with-
S
drawn from an undercut when bucking.
Avoid Pull--In:
Always begin cutting with the engine at full
S
speed and the saw housing against wood.
Use wedges made of plastic or wood.
S
Never use metal to hold the cut open.

REDUCETHECHANCEOF
KICKBACK
Recognize that kickback can happen.
S
With a basic understanding of kickback,
you can reduce the element of surprise
which contributes to accidents.
Never let the moving chaincontact any ob-
S
ject at the tip of the guide bar.
Keep the working area free from obstruc-
S
tions 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.
Keep your saw chain sharp and properly
S
tensioned. A looseordull chain canincrease
the chance of kickback occurring. Follow
manufacturer’s chain sharpening and maintenance instructions. Checktension 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.
Beginand continue cutting at full speed. If
S
the chain is moving at a slower speed,
there is greater chance of kickback occurring.
Cut one log at a time.
S
Use extreme caution when re-entering a
S
previous cut.
Do not attempt cuts starting with the tip of
S
the bar (plunge cuts).
Watch for shifting logs or other forces that
S
could close a cut and pinch or fall into chain.
Use the Reduced--Kickback Guide Bar
S
and Low--Kickback Chain specified for
your saw.

Keep a good, firm gripon the saw with both
S
hands when the engine is running and
don’t let go. A firm grip will help youreduce
kickback and maintain control of the saw.
Keep the fingers of your left hand encircling and your left thumb under the front
handlebar. Keep your right hand completely around the rear handle whether
your are right handed orleft handed. Keep
your left arm straight with the elbow
locked.
Position your left hand on the front handle-
S
bar so it is in a straight line with your right
hand on the rear handle when making
bucking cuts. Never reverse right and left
hand positions for any type of cutting.
Stand with your weight evenly balanced on
S
both feet.
Stand slightly to the left side of the saw to
S
keep your body from being in a direct line
with the cutting chain.
Do not overreach. You could be drawn or
S
thrown off balance and lose control of the
saw.
Donot cut above shoulder height. It is diffi-
S
cult to maintain control of saw above
shoulder height.
KICKBACK SAFETY FEATURES
The following features
WARNING
are included on your saw to help reduce the
hazard of kickback; however, such features
will not totally eliminate this dangerous reaction. As a chain saw user,do not rely only on
safety devices. You must follow all safety
precautions, instructions, and maintenance
in this manual to help avoid kickback and
other forces which can result in serious
injury.
Reduced--Kickback Guide Bar, designed
S
with a small radius tip which reduces the
size of the kickback danger zone on the
bar tip. A Reduced--Kickback Guide Bar
has been demonstrated to significantly reduce the number and seriousness of kickbacks.
Reduced Kickback Symmetrical Guide Bar
:
Small Radius Tip
Low--Kickback Chain, designed with a
S
contoured depth gauge and guard link
which deflect kickback force and allow
wood to gradually ride into the cutter.
Low-Kickback Chain
Handguard, designed to reduce the
S
chance of your left hand contacting the
chain if your hand slips offthe front handlebar.
Position of front and rear handlebars, de-
S
signed with distance between handles and
“in-line” with each other. The spread and
“in-line” position of the hands provided by
this design work together to give balance
and resistance in controlling the pivot of
the saw back toward the operator if kickback occurs.
WARNING
ANY OF THE DEVICES BUILT INTOYOUR
SAW. YOU SHOULD USE THE SAW
PROPERLY AND CAREFULLY TO AVOID
KICKBACK. Reduced--kickback guide bars
and low--kickback saw chains reduce the
chance and magnitude of kickback and are
recommended. Your saw has a low kickback chain and bar as original equipment.
Repairs on a chain brake should be made by
an authorized servicing dealer. Take your
unit to the place of purchase if purchased
from a servicing dealer, or to the nearest authorized master service dealer.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a
S
lightning fast reverse REACTION, kicking
the guide bar up and back toward the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the
S
guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly
back toward the operator.
Either of these reactions maycause youto
S
lose control of the saw which could result
in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively
uponthesafety devices built into your saw.

caution when cutting small size limbs. Slendermaterialmaycatch thesawchain and be
whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
Be alert for springback. Watch out for
S
branches that are bent or under pressure.
Avoid being struck by the branch or the
saw when the tension in the wood fibers is
released.
Keep a clear work area. Frequently clear
S
branches out of the way to avoid tripping
over them.
LIMBING
Always limb atreeafter itiscutdown. Only
S
then can limbing be done safely and properly.
Leave the larger limbs underneath the
S
felled tree to support the tree as you work.
Start at base of the felled tree and work to-
S
ward the top, cutting branches and limbs.
Remove small limbs with one cut.
Keep the tree between you and the chain
S
as much as possible.
Remove larger, supporting branches with
S
thecutting techniques described in BUCKING WITHOUT A SUPPORT.
Always use an overcut to cut small and
S
freely hanging limbs. Undercutting could
cause limbs to fall and pinch saw.
