This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one

 

way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet of

 

your extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still

 

does not fit, a polarized extension cord will be

 

necessary. Do not change the plug in any way.

 

WHILE OPERATING SAW

1.Stay alert. Use common sense while operating chain saw.

2.Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.

3.Beawareofextensioncordwhileoperatingchain saw. Be careful not to trip over cord. Keep cord away from chain and operator at all times.

4.Keep children, animals, and bystanders away from chain saw and extension cord. Only chain saw user should be in work area.

5.Do not cut down a tree unless you are trained or have expert help.

6.Iftwoormorepersonsperformbuckingandfelling operations at the same time, provide plenty ofdistancebetweenoperations.Providedistance of at least twice the height of tree being felled.

7.Secure wood you are cutting by using clamps or chocks.

8.Grip chain saw firmly with both hands. Never operatechainsawwithonehand.Neverusehand guard as handle.

9.Keep finger off trigger until ready to make cut.

10.Before starting chain saw, make sure chain is not touching anything.

11.To guard against electrical shock, avoid body contact with grounded objects such as pipes, fences, and metal posts.

12.Keep all parts of body away from chain when saw is running.

13.Donotforcechainsawwhilecutting.Applylight pressure. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.

14.Cut small brush and saplings with extreme care. Slender material may catch in chain and be whipped toward you. This could also pull you off balance.

15.When cutting limb or tree trunk that is under tension, use extreme caution. Be alert for wood springing back. When wood tension is released, limb could spring back and strike operator causing severe injury or death.

16.Carry chain saw from one place to another

with saw stopped and unplugged

by holding front handle (never use hand guard as handle)

with finger off trigger

with guide bar and chain to rear

WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known (to the state of California) to cause cancer, birth defects,or other reproductive harm.Some examples of these chemicals are:

lead from lead-based paints

crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products

arsenicandchromiumfromchemicallytreated lumber

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this typeofwork.Toreduceyourexposureto thesechemicals:workinawellventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

KICKBACK

WARNING:Kickbackmayoccurwhen 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. Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightningfastreversereaction,kickingthe guidebarupandbacktowardstheoperator. 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 you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious injury to user.

Kickback Safety Devices OnThis Saw

This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced kickback guide bar. Both items reduce the chance of kickback. Kickback can still occur with this saw.

Follow assembly instructions on pages 7 and 8. Do not remove front hand guard. Do not replace front hand guard with substitute.

The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.

Use both hands to grip saw while saw is running. Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around saw handles.

Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make sure they work properly.

Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.

Keep solid footing and balance at all times.

Stand slightly to left side of saw. This keeps your body from being in direct line with chain.

Do not let guide bar nose touch anything when chain is moving (see Figure 1).

CUTTING WITH THE CHAIN SAW

1.Connect saw to extension cord. Connect extension cord to power supply.

2.Make sure section of log to be cut is not laying on ground. This will keep chain from touching ground as it cuts through log. Touching ground with moving chain will dull chain.

3.Use both hands to grip saw.Always use left hand to grip front handle and right hand to grip rear handle. Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around saw handles (see Figure 12).

4.Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet.

5.When ready to make a cut, push the lockout button completely forward with the right thumb andsqueezethetrigger(seeFigure12).Thiswill turn saw on. Releasing trigger will turn saw off. Make sure saw is running at full speed before starting a cut.

6.When starting a cut, place moving chain against wood. Hold saw firmly in place to avoid possible bouncing or skating (sideways movement) of saw.

7.Guide saw using light pressure. Do not force saw. The motor will overload and can burn out. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.

8.Remove saw from a cut with saw running at full speed. Stop saw by releasing trigger. Make sure chain has stopped before setting saw down.

9.Practice until you can maintain a steady, even cutting rate.

FELLING A TREE (Cutting Down a

Tree)

WARNING:

Avoidkickback.Kickbackcanresultinsevereinjuryordeath.SeeKickback,pages 4 and 5, to avoid risk of kickback.

Do not fell a tree without ample skill or expert help.

Keepchildren,animals,andbystanders away from area when felling a tree.

If two or more persons perform bucking and felling operations at the same time, provide ample distance between operations.Providedistanceofatleast twice the height of tree being felled.

WARNING: When felling a tree, be aware of your surroundings. Do not endanger anyperson,strikeutility lines, orcausepropertydamage.Iftreestrikes utility lines, contact utility company at once.

Felling is the process of cutting down a tree. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet. Follow directions below to fell a tree.

Before Felling a Tree

1.Before felling, inspect tree. Make sure there are no dead limbs or branches that may fall on you. Study natural lean of tree, location of larger branches, and wind direction.This will help you judge which way tree will fall.

2.Clear work area around tree.

3.Plan and clear aretreat path before felling. Make retreat path opposite to planned direction of fall of tree and at 45° angle (see Figure 13).

5.Stay on uphill side when felling tree. Tree could roll or slide downhill after falling.

Felling Procedure

A) Felling Notch

Aproperlyplacedfellingnotchwilldeterminedirectiontreewillfall.Placefellingnotchonsideoftreein directionyouwanttreetofall(seeFigure14).Follow directions below to create a felling notch.

1.Make lower notch cut as close to ground as possible. Hold saw so guide bar is horizontal. Cut 1/3 the diameter of tree trunk (see Figure 14). Note:Always make this horizontal lower notch cut first. If you make this cut second, tree can pinch chain or guide bar.

2.Start upper notch cut the same distance above first cut as first cut is deep.

Example: If lower notch cut is eight inches deep, start upper notch cut eight inches above it. Cut downwardat45°angle.Theuppernotchcutshould meet end of lower notch cut (see Figure 14).

3.Remove tree trunk wedge created by notching cuts.

B) Felling Cut

1.Make felling cut two inches higher than lower notch cut and on opposite side of tree (see Figure 14). Keep felling cut parallel to lower notch cut.

2.Cut towards notch.

WARNING: Do not cut all the way through tree. Leave about two inches of tree diameter uncut directly behind felling notch (see Figure 14).This uncut portion acts as a hinge.The hinge helps keep tree from twisting and falling in wrong direction.

WARNING: Be alert for falling overhead limbs. Watch your footing while exiting area.

LIMBING A TREE

WARNING:Avoidkickback.Kickback can result in severe injury or death. See Kickback, pages 4 and 5, to avoid risk of kickback.

WARNING: When cutting limb that is under tension, use extreme caution. Be alert for wood springing back.When wood tension is released, limb could spring back and strike operator causing severe injury or death.

Limbing is removing branches from a fallen tree. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet. Do not remove larger limbs under tree that support log off ground. Remove each limb with one cut (see Figure 15). Clear cut limbs from work area often. This will help maintain a safe work area.

Make sure you start your cut where limb will not pinchsawduringcutting.Toavoidpinching,startcut onfreelyhanginglimbsfromabovelimb.Startcuton limbsundertensionfromunderlimb.Ifpinchoccurs, turn saw off, lift limb, and remove saw.

CAUTION: Seek professional help if facing conditions beyond your ability.

Trimming a tree is the process of cutting limbs from a living tree. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet. Follow directions below to trim a tree.

1.Make first cut six inches from tree trunk on underside of limb. Use top of guide bar to make this cut. Cut 1/3 through diameter of limb (see Figure 19).

2.Move two to four inches farther out on limb. Make second cut from above limb. Continue cut until you cut limb off.

3.Make third cut as close to tree trunk as possible onunderside of limb stub.Usetop of guide barto make this cut. Cut 1/3 through diameter of stub.

4.Makefourthcutdirectlyabovethirdcut.Cutdown to meet third cut. This will remove limb stub.

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

NOTICE: Below are instructions for servicingyourchainsaw.Anyservicingnot mentioned below should be done by an authorized service center.

CLEANING SAW BODY

WARNING: Unplug chain saw from powersourcebeforeservicing.Severeinjury or death could occur from electrical shock or body contact with moving chain.

WARNING: Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use protective gloves when handling chain.

WARNING:When cleaning saw body,

do not submerge saw in any liquids

do not use products that contain ammonia, chlorine, or abrasives

do not use chlorinated cleaning solvents,carbon tetrachloride,kerosene, or gasoline

Keepsawbodyclean.Useasoftclothdampenedwitha mild soap and water mixture. Wipe saw body to clean.

CARE OF GUIDE BAR

Uneven bar wear causes most guide bar problems. Incorrect sharpening of chain cutter and depth gauge settings often cause this. When bar wears unevenly, it widens guide bar groove (see Figure 20). This causes chain clatter and rivet popping. Saw will not cut straight. Replace guide bar if this occurs.

Inspect guide bar before sharpening chain. A worn or damagedguidebarisunsafe.Awornordamagedguide bar will damage chain. It will also make cutting harder.

SHARPENING SAW CHAIN

WARNING: Unplug chain saw from powersourcebeforeservicing.Severeinjury or death could occur from electrical shock or body contact with moving chain.

WARNING: Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use protective gloves when handling chain.

Keep chain sharp.Your saw will cut faster and more safely.A dull chain will cause undue sprocket, guide bar, chain, and motor wear. If you must force chain into wood and cutting creates only sawdust with few large chips, chain is dull.
