IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: When using an electric
chain saw, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the
risk of fi re, electric shock, and injury to
persons, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Make sure you read and understand all instructions in Important Safety Information
on pages 3 through 5. Improper use of this
chain saw can cause severe injury or death
from fire, electrical shock, body contact
with moving chain, or falling wood.
BEFORE OPERATING SAW
1. Read and understand this owner’s manual before
operating chain saw.
2. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Do not operate saw when you are tired.
3. Use chain saw for cutting wood only. Do not use
chain saw for purpose not intended. Do not use
for cutting plastic, masonry, etc.
4. Only well-instructed adults should operate chain
saw. Never allow children to operate chain saw.
5. Use only electrical voltage noted on model plate
of chain saw.
6. Use only extension cords marked for outdoor use.
See page 10 for extension cord requirements.
7. Do not operate chain saw
• while under the influence of alcohol, medica-
tion, or drugs
• in rain or in damp or wet areas
• where highly flammable liquids or gases are
present
• if saw is damaged, adjusted wrong, or not fully
and securely assembled
• if trigger does not turn saw on and off. Chain
must stop moving when you release trigger.
Have faulty switch replaced by authorized service center (see Technical Service, page 16).
• while in a hurry
• while in tree or on a ladder unless trained to
do so
8. Wear snug-fitting clothes when operating chain
saw. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They
can get caught in moving saw chain.
9. Wear the following safety gear when operating
chain saw.
• heavy-duty gloves (wear rubber gloves when
working outdoors)
• steel-toed safety footwear with non-skid soles
• eye protection such as safety glasses, goggles,
• safety hard hat
• ear mufflers or ear plugs
• hair covering to contain long hair
• face or dust mask (if working in dusty areas)
10. Before cutting, always provide the following:
• clear work area
• secure footing
• planned retreat path from falling tree
11. Inspect tree before cutting down. Make sure there are
no dead limbs or branches that may fall on you.
12. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this saw has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will fi t in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fi t fully in the outlet of
your extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fi t, 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. Be aware of extension cord while operating chain
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. If two or more persons perform bucking and felling operations at the same time, provide plenty
of distance between operations. Provide distance
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
operate chain saw with one hand. Never use hand
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. Do not force chain saw while cutting. Apply light
pressure. It will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was intended.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
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 ce-
ment and other masonry products
• arsenic and chromium from chemi-
cally-treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to fi lter out
microscopic particles.
KICKBACK
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
lightning fast reverse reaction, kicking the
guide bar up and back towards 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 you to lose
control of the saw which could result in
serious injury to user.
Kickback Safety Devices On This 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 page 9. 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).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
• Never try cutting through two logs at same time.
Only cut one log at a time.
• Do not bury guide bar nose or try plunge cut (boring
into wood using guide bar nose).
• Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that may
pinch chain.
• Use extreme caution when reentering a previous cut.
• Use low-kickback chain and guide bar supplied
with this chain saw. Only replace these parts with
chains and guide bars listed in this manual.
• Never use dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp
with proper tension.
Saw Maintenance and Kickback
Safety
Follow maintenance instructions in this manual. Proper
cleaning of saw and chain and guide bar maintenance
can reduce chances of kickback. Inspect and maintain
saw after each use. This will increase the service life of
your saw. Note: Even with proper sharpening, risk of
kickback can increase with each sharpening.
