Never try cutting through two logs at same
time. Only cut one log at a time.
Do not bury the 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 only the low-kickback chain and Guide
Bar (9) that were supplied with this chain
saw.
Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain
sharp with proper tension.
HOW TO USE SAW SAFELY
1. Use the chain saw only with secure
footing.
2. Hold the chain saw at the right-hand side
of your body. (See Fig. I)
3. The Chain (10) must be running at full
speed before it makes contact with the
wood.
4. Use the metal Bumper Spikes (8) to secure
the saw onto the wood before starting to
cut.
5. Use the Bumper Spikes as a leverage point
while cutting. (See Fig. J)
6. Do not operate the chain saw with arms
fully extended, or attempt to saw areas
which are difficult to reach, or stand on a
ladder while sawing. (See Fig. K)
Never use the chain saw above shoulder
height.
CUTTING WOOD UNDER TENSION (See
Fig. L)
WARNING: When cutting a limb
that is under tension, use extreme
caution. Be alert for wood springing
back. When wood tension is released,
limb could spring back and strike
operator causing severe injury or death.
When sawing logs supported on both ends,
start the cut from above(Y) about 1/3 of the
diameter into the log and then finish the cut
(Z) from below, in order to avoid contact of
the chain saw with the ground. When sawing
logs supported on only one end, start the cut
from below (Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into
the log and finish the cut from above (Z) in
order to avoid log splitting or jamming of the
chain saw.
