OPERATION
Never cut near power lines, electric
DANGER
cords, or other electric sources. If
bar and chain jams on any electrical cord or line,
DO NOT TOUCH THE BAR OR CHAIN! THEY CAN
BECOME ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND VERY DAN-
GEROUS. Continue to hold the chainsaw by the
insulated rear handle or lay it down and away
from you in a safe manner. Disconnect the elec-
trical service to the damaged line or cord before
attempting to free the bar and chain from the line
or cord. Contact with the bar, chain, other con-
ductive parts of the chainsaw, or live electric
cords or lines will result in death by electrocution,
electric shock, or serious personal injury.
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
wear proper eye protection marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
When working in dusty situations, wear appro-
priate respiratory protection or use an OSHA
compliant dust extraction solution.
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
Operating this chainsaw in a tree requires special
working techniques, which must be observed to
reduce the risk of personal injury. Never work in
a tree unless you have received specific, profes-
sional training for such work, including training
in the use of safety equipment and other climb-
ing equipment, such as harnesses, ropes, belts,
climbing irons, snap hooks, carabiners, etc.
• Guard against kickback which can result in
severe injury or death. See important safety
instructions in Kickback section to avoid the
risk of kickback.
• Wear approved head protection, such as an
ANSI/CSA hard hat or helmet for impact pro-
tection.
• Do not overreach. Do not cut above shoulder
height. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet
apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet.
• Do not allow familiarity with this product to make
you careless. Remember that a careless fraction
of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.
• Use a firm grip with 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 guide bar.
• Do not hold chainsaw by hand guard/chain
brake. Keep elbow of left arm locked so that left
arm is straight to withstand kickback.
• Never use a cross-handed grip (left hand on the
rear handles and right hand on the front handle).
• Never allow any part of your body to be in line
with the guide bar when operating the chainsaw.
• Never operate while in any awkward position or
on a ladder or other unstable surface. You may
lose control of saw causing severe injury.
• This chainsaw is not intended for tree felling.
Use of chainsaw for operations different than
intended could result in serious injury to the
operator or bystanders. Cutting a limb that
has a diameter greater than the saw's cutting
capacity requires advanced techniques and
should only be performed by properly trained
professionals. Performing these types of cuts
can cause an accident and result in death or
serious personal injury.
• Keep the chainsaw running at full speed the
entire time you are cutting.
• Allow the chain to cut for you. Exert only light
pressure. Do not put pressure on chainsaw at
end of cut.
• When not in use always have the chain brake
engaged and battery removed.
• Do not use any attachments or accessories not
recommended by the manufacturer. The use of
attachments or accessories not recommended
can result in serious personal injury.
Before Cutting
1. Perform a functional test of the chain brake, lock-
off tab, and variable speed trigger.
2. Inspect the chain catch.
3. Check the oil level, chain tension and sharpness,
and guide bar.
For tethering with dynamic climbing rope or energy
absorbing lanyards only. Do not hang tool from guide
bar cover.
Kickback may occur
WARNING
when the moving chain
contacts an object at the upper portion
of the tip of the guide bar or when the
wood closes in and pinches the saw
chain in the cut. Contact at the upper
portion of the tip of the guide bar can cause the chain
to dig into the object and stop the chain for an instant.
The result is a lightning fast, reverse reaction which
kicks the guide bar up and back toward the operator.
If the saw chain is pinched along the top of the guide
bar, the guide bar can be driven rapidly back toward
the operator. Either of these reactions can cause loss
of saw control which can result in serious injury. Do
not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into
the saw. As a chainsaw user, you should take sev-
eral steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident
or injury.
The following precautions should be followed to
minimize kickback:
• Always grip the saw firmly with both
hands. Hold the saw firmly with both
hands when the unit is running. Place
your right hand on the rear handle and
your left hand on the front handle with
your thumbs and fingers encircling the
chainsaw handles. A firm grip together with a stiff
left arm will help you maintain control of the saw if
kickback occurs.
• 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 saw.
