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 fingers

encircling the handle as illustrated in (9). If a manual

oiler control is provided additional or modified 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 specified by

the rnanufacturer.
