STARTING ENGINE
• Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel mixture.
• Operate the chain saw only in well-ventilated areas. Exhaust gas, oil mist (from chain saw lubrication) or saw dust saw
is harmful to health.
TRANSPORTATION
• When transporting your chain saw, use the appropriate guide bar cover. Fig 1
• Carry the chain saw with the engine stopped, the guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and the silencer away from your
body.
KICKBACK SAFETY
• 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. Fig 2.
• Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning-fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back toward the
operator (this is called a rotational kickback). Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide
bar rapidly back toward the operator (this is called a linear kickback).
• Either or these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw and come in contact with the moving chain, which
could result in serious personal injury. As a chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free
from accident or injury.
• With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise
contributes to accidents. Understand that rotational kickback is preventable by keeping an unshielded bar nose from
touching an object or the ground.
• Do not operate a chain saw with one hand! Serious injury to the operator, helpers or bystanders may result from one-
handed operation. For proper control, always use two hands when operating a chain saw, one hand which operates the
trigger. This can result in the chain saw “skating” or skidding, which can result in personal injury due to loss of control.
• Keep a good firm grip on the saw with both hands, the right hand on the rear handle and the left hand on the front
handle, when the engine is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers enriching the chain saw handles. A firm
grip will help you reduce kickback and maintain control of the saw. Two hands must be used to control the saw at all
times.
• Do not overreach or cut above chest height. Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions.
Do not let the bar nose contact a log, branch, or any other obstruction
which could be hit while you are operating the saw. Fig 3.
• Cutting at high engine speeds
may
reduce the likelihood of kickback.
But cutting at part-throttle or low engine speed may be preferable to
control the chain saw in tight situations and may also reduce the likelihood of kickback.
• Follow manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.

the engine is running. Use a firm grip with
thumbs and fingers enriching the chain saw
handles. A firm grip will help you reduce
kickback and maintain control of the saw.
Two hands must be used to control the saw
at all times.
• Do not overreach or cut above chest height.
Make sure that the area in which you are
cutting is free from obstructions. Do not let
the bar nose contact a log, branch, or any
other obstruction which could be hit while you
are operating the saw.
• Cutting at high engine speeds may reduce
the likelihood of kickback. But cutting at
part-throttle or low engine speed may be
preferable to control the chain saw in tight
situations and may also reduce the likelihood
of kickback.
• Follow manufacturer’s sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
• Use only replacement guide bars and
chains specified by the manufacturer, or the
acceptable equivalent of these guide bars
and chains.
2. KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING ▲ DANGER
KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTION FOR CHAIN
SAW USERS JICKBACK 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 case may cause a lightning-fast
reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back
toward the operator (this is called a rotational
kickback).
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar
may push the guide bar rapidly back toward the
operator (this is called a linear kickback).
•Either or these reactions may cause you to lose
control of the saw and come in contact with the
moving chain, which could result in serious personal
injury. As a chain saw user, you should take several
steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or
injury.
•With a basic understanding of kickback, you can
reduce or eliminate the element of surprise.
Sudden surprise contributes to accidents. Understand
that rotational kickback is preventable by keeping an
unshielded bar nose from touching an object or the
ground.
•Do not operate a chain saw with one hand!
Serious injury to the operator, helpers or bystanders
may result from one-handed operation. For proper
control, always use two hands when operating a chain
saw, one hand which operates the trigger. This can
result in the chain saw “skating” or skidding, which
can result in personal injury due to loss of control.
•Keep a good firm grip on the saw which both hands,
with the right hand on the rear handle and the left
hand on the front handle, when the engine is running.
