1.
PROPER GRIP ON HANDLES
See Figure 19.
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.
WARNING
Never use a left-handed (cross-handed) grip or any stance that would place your body
or arm across the chain line.
Maintain a proper grip on the saw whenever the engine is running. The fingers
should encircle the handle and the thumb wrapped under the handlebar. 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 kick of the saw can cause loss of control.
WARNING
See Figure 20.
DO NOT operate the throttle 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.
2.
PROPER CUTTING STANCE
See Figure 21.
Balance your weight with both feet on solid ground.
Keep left arm with elbow locked in a “straight arm” position to withstand any kickback
force.
Keep your body to the left of the chain line.
Keep your thumb on the underside of the handlebar.
3.
WORK AREA PRECAUTIONS
See Figure 22.
Cut
only wood
or materials made from wood.
Never allow children to operate the saw. Do not allow persons to use this chainsaw
who have not read the operator’s manual or received adequate instructions for the
safe and proper use of the chainsaw.
