been demonstrated to significantly reduce the number and
seriousness of kickbacks when tested in accordance with
safety requirements for electric chain saws.
• Low-Kickback Chain, designed with a contoured depth
gauge and guard link which deflect kickback force and allow
wood to gradually ride into the cutter. A low-kickback chain is
a chain which has met kickback performance requirements
of ANSI B175.1-1991.
• Hand guard, designed to reduce the chance of your left
hand contacting the chain if your hand slips off the front
handlebar.
• Position of front and rear handlebars, designed with
distance between handles which provides better control,
balance, and resistance if kickback occurs.
Additional Safety Rules: Chain Saws
CAUTION: Some wood contains preservatives such as
copper chromium arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic. When
cutting these materials extra care should be taken to avoid
inhalation and minimize skin contact.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate dust containing
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Use appropriate respiratory protection.
• Do not operate chain saw that is damaged, improperly

Preparing Your Chain Saw for Use
Chain oiling
•
Chain oiling is recommended whenever you use a new chain
the first time. Take the new chain and soak it in chain oil for
least an hour before using it.
•
Oiling during use is automatic and is not adjustable.
•
We recommend that you use only one brand of oil during t
lifetime of your chain saw because mixtures of different o
could lead to the oil becoming degraded, which can drastica
shorten the lifetime of the saw chain.
•
Never use waste oil, thick oil or very thin sewing machine
These may damage your chain saw.
