• 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 operat-
ing the tool.
• Always cut with the tool running at full speed. Fully
squeeze the throttle trigger and maintain a steady
cutting speed.
• Use replacement parts such as low kickback chain
and special guide bars that reduce the risks associ-
ated with rotational kickback. Use only the replace-
ment guide bars and low kickback chains specified
by the manufacturer for the tool.
With a basic understanding of kickback, you can
reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sud-
den surprise contributes to accidents.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Do not cut with right hand holding power tool above
shoulder height. Do not overreach when cutting.
• Follow the sharpening and maintenance instructions
for the saw chain.
• Push and Pull - This reaction force is always oppo-
site to the direction the chain is moving where wood
contact is made. Thus, the operator must be ready to
control the PULL when cutting on the bottom edge of
the bar, and PUSH when cutting along the top edge.

Work Area Precautions
• 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 tool. Allow no
person to use this tool who has not read this opera-
tor's manual or received adequate instructions for
the safe and proper use of this tool.
• When cutting, keep everyone - helpers, bystanders,
children, and animals - a safe distance from the cut-
ting area. Trees should not be trimmed in a manner
that would endanger any person, strike any utility
line or cause any property damage. If a branch does
make contact with any utility line, the utility company
should be notified immediately.
• Always cut with both feet on solid ground to prevent
being pulled off balance.
• During use, right hand holding power tool should
not rise above shoulder height. Holding power head
higher is difficult to control against kickback forces.
• Do not trim trees near electrical wires or buildings.
Leave this operation for professionals.
• Cut only when visibility and light are adequate for
you to see clearly.
• Check work area for hazards such as bees, rodents,
snakes, etc., that may live in trees or brush.
The left hand should encircle the hand grip and
the right hand should encircle the handle to resist
kickback. Keep body to the left of the chain line.

your right hand on the handle so that your body
is to the left of the chain line. Never straddle the
saw or chain.
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and
