PUSH AND PULL

The reaction force is always opposite to the direction the
chain is moving. Thus, the operator must be ready to control
the PULL when cutting on the bottom edge of the bar and
the PUSH when cutting along the top edge.

MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS

Never operate a chainsaw that is damaged, improperly
adjusted, or is not completely and securely assembled.
Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the throttle
control trigger is released. If the saw chain moves at idling
speed, the carburettor may need adjusting. Refer to
“Operation-Adjusting Idling Speed” later in this manual.
If the saw chain still moves at idling speed after adjustment
has been made, contact a Homelite service dealer for
adjustment and discontinue use until the repair is made.

NOTE:

Your chainsaw has been fully factory tested.

It is normal to find some slight oil residue on the saw.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

KICK-BACK

Kick-back is a dangerous reaction that can lead to serious
injury. Do not rely only on the safety devices provided with
your saw. As a chainsaw user, you must take special
safety precautions to help keep cutting jobs free from
accident or injury.

NOTE:

Refer to “Operation” later in this manual for added

information on kick-back and how to avoid serious
personal injury.

WARNING:

All chainsaw service, other than items in the operator’s
manual maintenance instructions, should be performed
by competent chainsaw service personnel. If improper
tools are used to remove the flywheel or clutch, or if an
improper tool is used to hold the flywheel in order to
remove the clutch, structural damage to the flywheel
may occur and subsequently cause the flywheel to burst
with possible serious injury.
