4. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet shoulder
width apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet.
5. When ready to make a cut, push the Lock-off Button
(3) completely in with the right thumb and squeeze
the trigger. This will turn the saw on. Releasing the
trigger will turn the saw off. Make sure the saw is
running at full speed before starting a cut.
6. When starting a cut, slowly place the moving chain
against the wood. Hold saw firmly in place to avoid
possible bouncing or skating (sideways movement)
of saw.
7. Guide the saw using light pressure and do not put
excessive force on the saw. The motor will overload
and can burn out. It will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was intended.
8. Remove the saw from a cut with the saw running
at full speed. Stop the saw by releasing the On/Off
Switch. Make sure the Chain has stopped before
setting the saw down.
9. Keep practicing on scrap logs in a secure working
area until you get the hang of it and can saw with
ease, using a fluid motion and a steady cutting rate.
kickback safety devices on this saw
This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced kickback
Guide Bar. Both items reduce the chance of kickback.
However, kickback can still occur with this saw.
The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.
• Use both hands to grip saw while saw is running.
Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around
saw handles.
• Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make sure they
work properly.
• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
• Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
• Stand slightly to left side of saw. This keeps your
body from being in direct line with chain.
• Do not let guide bar nose touch anything when chain
is moving.
• Never try cutting through two logs at same time.
Only cut one log at a time.
• Do not bury the Guide Bar nose or try plunge cut
(boring into wood using guide bar nose).
• Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that may
pinch chain.
• Use extreme caution when reentering a previous cut.
• Use only the low-kickback chain and guide bar that
were supplied with this chain saw.
• Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp
with proper tension.
