Keep cord from oil and sharp edges. Inspect extension
cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep tools
sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Fol-
low instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
- 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
operating. 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 determine
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 other-
wise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual. Have
defective 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 ngers
encircling the handle as illustrated in (9). If a manual
oiler control is provided additional or modied 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 specied by
the rnanufacturer.
