guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and the
muffler away from your body. When transporting
the chain saw, use the appropriate guide bar
scabbard.
 Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged,
improperly adjusted, or not completely and
securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain
stops moving when the throttle control trigger
is released.
 Shut off the engine before setting the chain
saw down. Do not leave the engine running
unattended. As an additional safety precaution,
apply the chain brake prior to setting down the
saw.
 Use extreme caution when cutting small-size
brush and saplings because slender material
may catch the saw chain and be whipped
toward you or pull you off balance.
 When cutting a limb that is under tension,
be alert for springback so that you will not be
struck when the tension in the wood fibers is
released.
 Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or
fuel mixture.
 Beware of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Operate the chain saw only in well-ventilated
areas.
 Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless
you have been specifically trained to do so.
 Do not cut from a ladder; this is extremely
dangerous.
WARNING:
The warnings, labels, and instructions found
in this section of the operator's manual are for
your safety. Failure to follow all instructions may
result in serious personal injury.
 Do not cut vines and/or small underbrush (a
diameter of less than 3 in.).
 Muffler surfaces are very hot during and after
operation of the chain saw; keep all body parts

 All chain saw service, other than the items listed
in the instruction manual and all maintenance,
should be performed by competent chain saw
service personnel. (For example, if improper
tools are used to remove the flywheel or if an
improper tool is used to hold the flywheel in
order to remove the clutch, structural damage
to the flywheel could occur and subsequently
could cause the flywheel to burst.)
 Always have a fire extinguisher available
when using chain saw.
 Use only the replacement guide bars and low
kickback chains specified for the saw.
 Do not adapt the powerhead to a bow guide
or use it to power any attachments or devices
not listed for the saw.
 The gas powered saw (or electrically
powered saw) is classified by CSA as a
Class 1C (or Class 2C) saw. It is intended for
infrequent use by homeowners, cottagers, and
campers, and for such general applications as
clearing, pruning, cutting firewood, etc. It is not
intended for prolonged use. Prolonged periods
of operation can cause circulatory problems in
the user's hands due to vibration. For such use,
it may be appropriate to use a saw having an
anti-vibration feature.
 Save these instructions. Refer to them
frequently and use to instruct other users. If you
loan someone this product, loan them these
instructions also.

if contact is made with the muffler.
 Always hold the chain saw with both hands
when the engine is running. Use a firm grip
with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain
saw handles.
 Never let anyone use the chain saw who
has not received adequate instructions in its
proper use. This applies to rentals as well as
privately owned saws.
