General Working Instructions
Use Proper Grip
When the motor is running, keep a good, firm grip on
the saw, always with both hands. The right hand should
be on the rear handle, and the left hand on the front
handle. All people, whether right or left handed, should
use this grip. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers
encircling the electric chain saw handles.
Never use your saw while holding it with only one
hand. A firm grip will help you reduce kickback and
maintain control of the saw.
NOTE! If you are left handed:
Your electric chain saw is designed to be held with your
right hand on the rear handle and left hand on the front
handle. ALL PEOPLE, WHETHER RIGHT OR LEFT
HANDED, SHOULD USE THIS GRIP.
Using the opposite grip, right hand - front handle, left
hand - rear handle, gives you less control of the saw.
It also brings the bar and chain closer to your body
during normal operation. It is also possible you will not
be able to activate the chain brake if your right hand is
holding the front handle.
Avoid Unsafe Positions
Do not use your chain saw above shoulder height.
The saw is harder to control in these positions, and with
the bar closer to your face / upper body, even a small
kickback may have enough speed and force to reach
you. Also, your chain brake may not have enough time
to slow down the chain if the kickback starts from an
unsafe position close to your body, even if the brake is
activated.
Do not overreach or work from an unsafe position,
such as from a ladder, in a tree or in a pile of wood.
In such situations, your footing is insecure and you can
easily cut yoursef, either through a simple distraction or
through a kickback because your control of the saw is
insufficient.
Use Proper Speed
Cut at high motor speed. At higher speeds, the saw
chain is less likely to become stuck.
Maintain control over workpiece
If the pieces you cut are small and light, the chain can
catch and throw them at you. Although not necessarily
dangerous in itself, it can startle you and affect your
control of the saw. Never cut stacked or piled logs or
branches without pulling your workpieces out one by
one. Cut only one log or piece at a time. Remove the
pieces you have cut to keep your work area clear.
