IMPORTANT
POINTS
• Check chain tension
before first use and
after 1 minute of operation.
See CHAIN
TENSION
in the ASSEMBLY
section.
• Cut wood only.

masonry, non-wood building materials, etc.
• Stop the saw if the chain strikes a foreign
object.
Inspect
the saw and repair or re-
place parts as necessary.
• Keep the chain out of dirt and sand. Even a
small amount of dirt will quickly dull a chain
and thus increase the possibility of kickback.

cutting a few small logs using the
following techniques
to get the "feel" of us-
ing your
saw
before
you begin
a major
sawing operation.
•
Squeeze
the throttle trigger and allow
the engine to reach full speed before
cutting.
•

•
Keep the engine at full speed the entire
time you are cutting.
