OPERATION
 Take the proper stance in front of the wood with
the saw off.
 Squeeze the switch trigger and let the chain
accelerate to full speed before entering the cut.
 Begin cutting with the saw against the log.
 Keep the unit running the entire time you are
cutting, maintain a steady speed.
 Allow the chain to cut for you; exert only light
downward pressure. If you force the cut, dam-
age to the bar, chain, or unit can result.
 Release the switch trigger as soon as the cut
is completed, allowing the chain to stop. If you
run the saw without a cutting load, unnecessary
wear can occur to the chain, bar, and unit.
 Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of cut.
WORK AREA PRECAUTIONS
See Figure 13.
 Cut only wood or materials made from wood,
no sheet metal, no plastics, no masonry, no
non-wood building materials.
 Never allow children to operate the saw. Allow
no person to use this chain saw who has not

quate instructions for the safe and proper use

HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS
Do not fell trees during periods of high wind or
heavy precipitation. Wait until the hazardous
weather has ended.
Closely check for broken or dead branches,
which could fall while cutting and do not cut
near buildings or electrical wires if you do not
know the direction of tree fall. Do not cut at
night or during bad weather conditions, such as
rain, snow, or strong winds, which can reduce
visibility and control of the chain saw. If the tree
you are felling makes contact with any utility
line, you should discontinue use of the chain
saw and immediately notify the utility company.
