OPERATION
WARNING:
Never use a left-handed (cross-handed) grip,
or any stance which would place your body or
arm across the chain line. Improper operation
of the chain saw could result in serious personal
injury.
 Maintain a proper grip on the saw whenever
the unit 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 seri-
ous personal injury.
PROPER CUTTING STANCE
See Figures 11 - 12.
WARNING:
Always use the proper cutting stance described
in this section. Never kneel when using the
chain saw, except when felling a tree as illus-
trated in Figure 16. Kneeling could result in
loss of stability and control of the chain saw,
resulting in serious personal injury.
 Weight should be balanced with both feet on
solid ground.
 Keep left arm with elbow locked in a "straight
arm" position to withstand any kickback force.
 Your body should always be to the left of the
chain line.
 Thumb should be on underside of handlebar.
BASIC CUTTING PROCEDURE
Practice cutting a few small logs using the follow-
ing technique to get the "feel" of using the saw
before you begin a major sawing operation.
