OPERATION
PREPARING FOR CUTTING
Proper grip on handles
See Safety Rules for appropriate safety equipment.
•
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
•
Hold the saw firmly with both hands. Always keep your left hand on the front handle and
your right hand on the rear handle so that your body is to the left of the chain line.
•
Maintain a proper grip on the saw whenever the motor is running. The fingers should
encircle the handle and the thumb is wrapped underneath. This grip is least likely to be
broken by a kickback or other sudden reaction of the saw. Any grip in which the thumb
and fingers are on the same side of the handle is dangerous because a slight kickback of
the saw can cause loss of control.
W A R N I N G
DO NOT operate the trigger with your left hand and hold the front handle with your right hand.
Never allow any part of your body to be in the chain line while operating a saw. Never use a left-
handed (cross-handed) grip or any stance that would place your body or arm across the chain line.
