WARNING: This product contains
chemicals known to the State of Cali-
fornia to cause cancer or birth defects,
or other reproductive harm.
WARNING: Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drill-
ing, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known (to the state
of California) to cause cancer, birth de-
fects, or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints
• crystalline silica from bricks and ce-
ment and other masonry products
• arsenic and chromium from chemi-
cally-treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well venti-
lated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to
microscopic particles.

KICKBACK

WARNING: Kickback may occur when
the nose or tip of the guide bar touches
an object, 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 opera-
tor. 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.

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. Kickback can still occur with this saw.
Follow assembly instructions on page 7. Do not remove
front hand guard. Do not replace front hand guard
with substitute.
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 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 (see Figure 1).
• Never try cutting through two logs at same time.
Only cut one log at a time.
• Do not bury 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 low-kickback chain and guide bar supplied
with this chain saw. Only replace these parts with
chains and guide bars listed in this manual.
• Never use dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp
with proper tension.
