WARNING
Preparation for Cutting
Refer to "Safety Warnings" earlier in this manual for appropriate safety equipment.
Work Area Precautions
Cut only wood or materials made from wood; do not cut sheet metal, plastics, masonry, or
•
non-wood building materials.
Never allow children to operate the chain saw.
•
Allow no person to use this chain saw who has not read this Operator's Manual or received
•
adequate instructions for the safe and proper use of this chain saw.
When felling a tree, keep everyone – helpers, bystanders, children, and animals – a safe
•
distance from the cutting area. During felling operations, the safe distance should be at
least twice the height of the largest trees in the felling area. During bucking operations,
keep a minimum distance of 15 feet (4.5 m) between workers. Trees should not be felled
in a manner that would endanger any person, strike any utility line or cause any property
damage. If a tree does make contact with any utility line, stay clear of the tree and the line
and notify the utility company immediately.
Always cut with both feet on solid ground to prevent being pulled off balance.
•
Do not cut above chest height, as a saw held higher is difficult to control against kickback
•
forces.
Do not fell trees near electrical wires or buildings.
•
Cut only when visibility and light are adequate for you to see clearly.
•
Proper Grip On Handles
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and
•
protection.
With the saw on a firm, flat surface, hold the
•
saw firmly with both hands.
Always grasp the front handle with the left
•
hand and the rear handle with the right hand.
The fingers should encircle the handle, with
•
the thumb wrapped under the front handle
(Fig. 11).
WARNING
could place your body or arm across the
chain line.

Do not attempt to start the saw when the saw chain is in a cut or in

grip, or any stance that
