-
Disconnect Chain Saw
Disconnect chain saw when not in use, before servicing,
and when changing accessories and attachments, such
as saw chain and guard (6).
-
Outdoor Use Extension Cords
Use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and
so marked.
Route the power cord in such a way that in cannot get
caught in branches or other objects during sawing.
-
Stay Alert
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not
operate chain saw when you are tired. Keep all parts of the
body away from the saw chain when the motor is operat-
ing. Before you start the saw, make sure the saw chain is
not contacting anything.
-
Check Damaged Parts
Before further use of the chain saw, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to deter-
mine that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise
indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual. Have de-
fective switches be replaced by authorized service center.
Do not use chain saw if the switch does not turn the saw
on and off. Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged,
improperly adjusted, or is not completely and securely
assembled (7). Be sure that the saw chain stops moving
when the trigger is released.

Guard Against Kickback
WARNING: KICKBACK may occur when the nose or tip
of the guide bar touches an object (8), or when the wood
closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact
in some cases may cause a lightning fast reverse reaction,
kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may
push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control
of the saw which could result in serious injury to user.
The following precautions should be followed to minimize
kickback:
- Always grip each handle with the thumb and fingers
encircling the handle as illustrated in (9). If a manual
oiler control is provided additional or modified instruc-
tions regarding its use shall be provided.
- Do not over reach.
- Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
- Don't let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch,
ground, or other obstruction.
- Don't cut above shoulder height (10).
- Use devices such as low kickback chain, chain brakes
and special guide bars that reduce the risks associated
with kickback.
- Only use replacement bars and chains specified by
the rnanufacturer.
