OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• The fingers should encircle the handle, with the
thumb wrapped under the front handle (Fig. 6a).
WARNING
• Never use a left-handed (cross-handed) grip, or
any stance which would place your body or arm
across the chain line.
• Do not operate the trigger switch (A) with your left
hand and hold the front handle with your right hand.
Never allow any part of your body to be in the chain
line while operating a chainsaw (Fig. 6b).
Proper Cutting Stance (Fig. 6c)
Both feet should be on solid ground, with weight
evenly spread between them.
The left arm should be straight, with the elbow
locked. This helps to withstand the forces
generated by kickback.
Your body should always be to the left of the chain line.
7. Basic Cutting
WARNING
Always be sure of your footing and hold the
chainsaw firmly with both hands while the motor is
running. Practice cutting a few small logs using the
following technique to get the “feel” of using your
saw before you begin a major sawing operation.
a. Take the proper stance in front of the wood with
the saw off.
b. Press the lock-off button (C) and squeeze the
trigger to start the chainsaw. Let the saw chain
reach the full speed before beginning the cut.
c. Begin cutting by lightly pressing the guide bar
(I) against the wood. Use only light pressure,
letting the saw do the work.
d. Maintain a steady speed throughout the cut,
releasing pressure just before the end of the cut.
e. Release the trigger as soon as the cut is completed, allowing the saw chain to stop.
WARNING
• When the saw chain is stopped due to pinching during cutting, release the trigger switch;
remove the saw chain and guide bar from the wood, then restart the chainsaw.
• Do not pull the saw chain with your hand when it is bound by the sawdust. Serious injury
could result if the chainsaw starts accidentally. Press the saw chain against the wood, move
the chainsaw back and forth to discharge the debris. Always remove the battery pack before
cleaning. Wear heavy protective gloves when handling the saw chain.
• Never start the chainsaw when it is in contact with the wood. Always allow the chainsaw
reach full speed before applying the saw to the wood.
