TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

Follow all safety instructions. Refer to the Safety section.
Only cut wood and materials made of wood. Do not attempt to cut
sheet metal, plastics, masonry or any other non-wood materials.
Work slowly and maintain careful control.
Practice cutting a few small logs before beginning a major
cutting operation. First-time users should practice cutting logs
on a sawhorse or cradle before undertaking other operations.
Do not attempt to cut trees or logs with diameters larger than 10
in. (25.4 cm).
When pruning, remove lower branches first to allow clear access
to higher branches and to provide space for falling branches.
When pruning, remove long branches in stages, not all at once.
PREPARING THE WORK AREA
Clear the area of children, bystanders and pets; keep them
outside a 50-foot (15 m) radius, at a minimum. Even then, they
are still at risk from thrown objects. Encourage bystanders to
wear eye protection. If you are approached, stop the unit
immediately. When felling, the safe distance is at least twice the
height of the tallest tree in the work area. When bucking, keep
workers at least 15 feet (4.6 m) apart.
Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries. Do not
start cutting until the work area is clear and free from
obstructions. Make sure there is secure footing and a planned
retreat path from falling trees or branches.
Do not cut near electrical cables or power lines. Keep at least 50
feet (15 m) away from all power lines.
Use the unit only in daylight or good artificial light.
HOLDING THE UNIT
WARNING:
Always use the hand placements specified
below whether the operator is left-handed or right-handed.
This will help keep the operator slightly to the left of the
unit and out of the direct line of the saw chain if kickback
occurs (Fig. 20 and Fig. 21). Always keep all body parts to
the left of the chain line.
Always grip the unit firmly with both hands when the unit is
running.
Firmly encircle the handles with the thumbs and fingers (Fig. 18).
This will help reduce the chance of losing control of the unit if
kickback occurs. Any grip with thumbs and fingers on the same
side of the handles is dangerous (Fig. 19).
Stand in a stable position with feet apart and firmly planted.
Hold the front handle with the left hand. Keep the left arm
straight to help withstand potential kickback.
Hold the rear handle with the right hand. Keep the right arm
slightly bent.
Do not cut above shoulder height. Do not overreach.
When carrying the chain saw from one place to another, hold it
by the front handle, away from the body, and keep the guide bar
pointed to the rear.
