Avoid unintentional starting.  Prepare 

11. 

to begin work before turning on the 

tool.
Do not lay the tool down until it has 

12. 

come to a complete stop.  Moving 

parts can bite into the surface and 

pull the tool out of your control.
When using the Chain Saw, maintain 

13. 

a firm grip on the tool with both hands 

to resist torque when cutting.

DANgER!

15. 

  People with pacemakers 

should not use chain saws.  Chain 

saws produce strong electromagnetic 

fields that can cause pacemaker 

interference or pacemaker failure.  

People with pacemakers should 

consult their physician(s) for advice.
Maintain Chain Saw With Care - 

16. 

Keep cutting edge sharp and clean 

for best performance and to reduce 

the risk of injury. Follow instructions 

for lubricating and changing acces-

sories. Inspect cord periodically, and 

if damaged, have it repaired by an 

authorized service facility. Inspect ex-

tension cords periodically and replace 

if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, 

and free from oil and grease.
Check Damaged Parts - Before 

17. 

further use, a guard or other part 

that is damaged should be carefully 

checked to determine that it will oper-

ate properly and perform its intended 

function. Check for alignment of mov-

ing parts, binding of moving parts, 

breakage of parts, mounting, and any 

other condition that may affect its op-

eration. A guard or other part that is 

damaged should be properly repaired 

or replaced by a qualified technician 

unless indicated elsewhere in this 

manual. 

 

Kickback precautions

Kickback is a dangerous reaction that 

18. 

can lead to serious injury.  Kickback 

may occur when the moving Chain 

contacts an object at the upper por-

tion of the tip of the Guide Bar (11) or 

when the wood closes in and pinches 

the Saw Chain (10) in the cut.  Con-

tact at the upper portion of the tip of 

the Guide Bar can cause the Chain 

to dig into the wood and stop the 

Chain for an instant.  The result is a 

quick, reverse reaction which kicks 

the Guide Bar up and back toward 

the operator.  If the Chain is pinched 

along the top of the Guide Bar, the 

Guide Bar can be driven rapidly back 

toward the operator.  Either of these 

reactions can cause loss of Chain 

Saw control which can result in seri-

ous injury.  Do not rely only upon the 

safety devices built into the Chain 

Saw.  As an operator, you should take 

several steps to keep the cutting job 

free from accident or injury:

Make sure the area in which you 

• 

are cutting is free from obstructions. 

Do not allow the nose of the Guide 

Bar to contact a log, branch, fence, 

or any other obstruction while you 

are operating the tool.
Always cut with the motor running 

• 

at full speed.
Always keep the Chain clean and 

• 

sharp.
Keep Chain Cover (13) and any 

• 

other guards and safety devices in
