warNING: Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drill-
ing, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known (to the state
of california) to cause cancer, birth de-
fects, or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints
• crystalline silica from bricks and ce-
ment and other masonry products
• arsenic and chromium from chemi-
cally-treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this
type of work. to reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well venti-
lated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.

chemicals known to the State of cali-
fornia to cause cancer or birth defects,
or other reproductive harm.
9. Grip chain saw firmly with both hands. Never
operate chain saw with one hand. Never use
hand guard as handle.
10. Grip pole saw securely. Place one hand on the
pole and the other on the handle.
11. Keep finger off trigger until ready to make
cut.
12. Before starting chain saw, make sure chain is
not touching anything.
13. To guard against electrical shock, avoid body
contact with grounded objects such as pipes,
fences, and metal posts.
14. Keep all parts of body away from chain when
saw is running.
15. Do not force saw while cutting. Apply light
pressure. It will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was intended.
16. Do not cut small brush and saplings with the
pole saw. Use the chain saw only, with extreme
care. Slender matter may catch in the chain and
be whipped toward you. This could also pull
you off balance.
17. When cutting limb or tree trunk that is under
tension, use extreme caution. Be alert for
wood springing back. When wood tension is
released, limb could spring back and strike
operator causing severe injury or death.
18. Carry saw from one place to another
• with saw stopped and unplugged
• Chain saw - by holding front handle (never
use hand guard as handle)
• Pole saw - with telescoping pole returned to
shortest position
• Pole saw - by holding the pole at the balance
point (close to saw end)
• with finger off trigger
• with guide bar and chain to rear
warNING: Kickback may occur when
the nose or tip of the guide bar touches
an object, or when the wood closes in
and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
tip contact in some cases may cause a
lightning fast reverse reaction, kicking the
guide bar up and back towards the opera-
tor. pinching the saw chain along the top
of the guide bar may push the guide bar
rapidly back towards the operator. Either
of these reactions may cause you to lose
control of the saw which could result in
serious injury to user.
KIcKBacK
This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced
kickback guide bar. Both items reduce the chance
of kickback. Kickback can still occur with this
saw.
Follow assembly instructions on page 10. Do not
remove front hand guard. Do not replace front
hand guard with substitute.
The following steps will reduce the risk of kick-
back:
• Use both hands to grip saw while saw is
running
