trigger. This will turn saw on. Releasing the trigger will turn the saw off. Make sure the saw is running at full
speed before starting a cut.
(6) When starting a cut, slowly place moving chain against the wood. The wood should be as close to the saw
body as possible. Hold saw firmly in place to avoid possible bouncing or skating (sideways movement) of saw.
(7) Guide the saw using light pressure and do not put excessive force on the saw, letting the saw do its work. The
motor will overload and can burn out. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.
(8) Remove the saw from a cut with the saw running at full speed. Stop the saw by releasing the On/off Switch.
Make sure the chain has stopped before setting the saw down.
(9) Keep practicing on scrap logs in a secure working area until you are comfortable, using a fluid motion and a
steady cutting rate.
Kickback Safety Devices On This Saw
This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced kickback Guide Bar. Both items reduce the chance of
kickback. However, kickback can still occur with this saw.
The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.
•
Use both hands to grip saw while saw is running. Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around saw handles.
•
Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make sure they work properly.
•
Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
•
Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
•
Stand slightly to the left side of saw. This keeps your body from being in direct line with chain.
•
Do not let Guide Bar nose touch anything when chain is moving.
•
Never try cutting through two logs at same time. Only cut one log at a time.
•
Do not bury the Guide Bar nose or try plunge cut (boring into wood using Guide Bar nose).
•
Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that may pinch chain.
•
Use extreme caution when reentering a previous cut.
•
Use only the low-kickback chain and Guide Bar that were supplied with this chain saw or recommended.
•
Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp with proper tension.
