Starting the chain saw:
 Make sure chain tension is at desired setting.
Refer to Adjusting the Chain Tension in the
Maintenance section of this manual.
 Make sure the chain cover lock knob is tight to
the chain cover.
 Make sure no objects or obstructions are in
immediate vicinity which could come in contact
with the bar and chain.
 Press and hold the switch lock-out. This makes
the switch trigger operational.
 Press and hold the switch trigger, release the
switch lock-out and continue to squeeze the
switch trigger for continued operation.
Stopping the chain saw:
NOTE: It is normal for the chain to coast to a stop
once the trigger switch is released.
 Release the switch trigger to stop the chain saw.
 Upon release of the switch trigger, the switch
lock-out will be automatically reset to the lock
position.
PREPARING FOR CUTTING
PROPER GRIP ON HANDLES
See Figure 10.
See General Safety Rules for appropriate safety
equipment.
 Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and
protection.
 Hold the saw firmly with both hands. Always
keep your left hand on the front handle and your
right hand on the rear handle so that your body
is to the left of the chain line.
WARNING:
Never use a left-handed (cross-handed) grip or
any stance that would place your body or arm
across the chain line.
OPERATION
PROPER GRIP
 Maintain a proper grip on the saw whenever the
motor is running. The fingers should encircle
the handle and the thumb is wrapped under the
handlebar. This grip is least likely to be broken by
a kickback or other sudden reaction of the saw.
Any grip in which the thumb and fingers are on the
same side of the handle is dangerous because a
slight kick of the saw can cause loss of control.
WARNING:
DO NOT operate the switch
trigger with your left hand
and hold the front handle with
your right hand. Never allow
any part of your body to be in
the chain line while operating
a saw. Improper operation of
the chain saw could result in
serious personal injury.
