handles, both hands on the saw,
and position your body and arm to
allow you to resist kickback forces.
Kickback forces can be controlled by the
operator if proper precautions are taken.
Do not let go of the chainsaw.
-
Do not overreach and do not cut
above shoulder height.
This helps
prevent unintended tip contact and
enables better control of the chainsaw in
unexpected situations.

Incorrect replacement bars and chains
may cause chain breakage and/or
kickback.

Follow the manufacturer’s
sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can
lead to increased kickback.
SAFETY RULES FOR EXTENSION CORD
Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord,
be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An
undersized extension cord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord. To reduce the
risk of disconnection of appliance cord from
the extension cord during operation:
I) Make a knot as shown in Figure 1; or
II) Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining
straps or connectors described in this
manual.
