your chain saw for additional cutting and safety instructions.
•Wearsuitablehearingprotectionsuchasearmuffsorearplugs
to protect against objectionable or uncomfortable loud noises.
•Donotletthetipofthebartouchanythingwhile
the engine is running. At cutting speed the chain is
moving at a high rate of speed. Should the tip contact
a limb or log while the chain is moving, the tip will be
pushed upward with considerable force.
This is known as kickback. Avoid it!
