• Stand slightly to the 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 (6) that were supplied with this chain
saw or recommended.
• Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain
sharp with proper tension.
How to use Saw Safely
1. Use the chain saw only with secure footing.
2. Hold the chain saw at the right-hand side of
your body (See Fig. K).
3. The chain (7) must be running at full speed
before it makes contact with the wood.
4. Use the bumper spikes (13) to secure the
saw onto the wood before starting to cut.
5. Use the bumper spikes as a leverage point
while cutting. (See Fig. L)
6. Do not operate the chain saw with arms
fully extended, attempt to saw areas which
are difficult to reach, or stand on a ladder
while sawing (See Fig. M).
Never use the chain saw above shoulder
height
CUTTING WOOD UNDER TENSION (See
fig. N)
WARNING: When cutting a limb
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.
When sawing logs supported on both ends,
start the cut from above(Y) about 1/3 of the
diameter into the log (overbuck) and then
finish the cut (Z) from below, in order to avoid
contact of the chain saw with the ground.
When sawing logs supported on only one end,
start the cut from below (Y) about 1/3 of the
diameter into the log (underbuck) and finish
the cut from above (Z) in order to avoid log
splitting or jamming of the chain saw.
