CUTTING
• Use extreme caution when cutting small-size brush and saplings because slender material may catch the saw chain
and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring-back so that you will not be struck by the limb or chain
saw when the tension in the wood fibres is released.
• Cutting while on a ladder is extremely dangerous because the ladder can slip and your control of the chain saw is
limited. Working aloft should be left to professionals.
• Stop the engine before setting the chain saw down.
WOOD PRACTICES
• Operating a chain saw safely requires a chain saw in proper working order, sound judgment, and knowledge of the
methods which should be applied in each cutting situation.
• Do not let any person use your saw unless they have read this owner’s manual and fully understands its instructions.
• Never let children operate the saw.
• Use your saw only to cut wood or wood products. Do not cut solid metal, sheet metal, plastics or any non-wood
materials.
• Stay on the uphill side when bucking or limbing logs which might roll when cut.
• Keep both feet on the ground. Do not work from off-the-ground positions.
CHAIN BRAKE
• The chain brake’s function is to stop chain rotation after a kickback.
It neither prevents nor reduces kickback. Do not depend on the chain
brake for protection against kickback. Even with a chain brake, depend
on your own good sense and proper cutting methods just as though
there were no chain brake. Fig. 4.
• Even with normal use and proper maintenance, the response time of the brake may lengthen. The following may
interfere with the brake’s ability to protect the operator.
• Saw wrongly held too close to operator’s body. Kickback time may be too fast even for a perfectly maintained brake to
work in time. Fig. 4.
• The operator’s hand may not be in position to contact the hand guard. Brake will not be tripped.
• Lack of proper malignance lengthens the brake’s stopping time, making it less effective.
• Dirt, grease, oil, pitches, etc. getting into the working parts of the mechanism may lengthen the stopping time.

CUTTING
• Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless
you have been specifically trained to do so.
• Keep all parts of your body away from the
saw chain when the engine is running.

may catch the saw chain and be whipped
toward you or pull you off balance.
