ADDITIONAL WARNINGS

A chain saw is intended for two-handed use (Fig. 2). Serious injury to the operator, helpers,
and/or bystanders can result from one-handed operation.
Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions. Do not let the
nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, fence, or any other obstruction that could be hit
while you are operating the saw.
Always cut with the unit running at full speed. Fully squeeze the switch trigger and maintain
cutting speed.
With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the element of
surprise (Fig. 3 – Fig. 5). Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Avoid unintentional contact with the stationary saw chain or guide bar rails. These can
be very sharp. Always wear gloves and long pants or chaps when handling the chain saw, saw
chain, or guide bar.
Never operate a chain saw that is damaged or improperly adjusted or that is not
completely and securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the
trigger switch is released.
Inspect the work piece for nails, wire, or other foreign objects prior to cutting. When
bucking, secure the work piece prior to cutting. When felling or pruning, identify and
secure hazardous branches.
