9) Keep practicing on scrap logs in a secure working area until you are comfortable, using a fluid motion and
a steady cutting rate.
THE CHAIN BREAK (Built-In, Manual and Automatic and Systems) (See Fig. J)
The manual chain brake is a safety mechanism activated through the front hand guard when kickback occurs.
Chain stops immediately.
The following function check should be carried out at regular intervals.
1. Manual chain brake: push front hand guard forward (position 2) and try starting the chain saw. The chain
must not start. To deactivate the kickback brake, pull hand guard backwards (position 1), and release on/off
switch. (See component list for on/off switch location)
2. Automatic chain brake: release the on/off switch to activate chain brake automatically.
Kickback Safety Devices On This Saw
This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced kickback Guide Bar. Both items reduce the chance of kickback.
However, kickback can still occur with this saw.
The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.
Use both hands to grip saw while saw is running. Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around saw
handles.
Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make sure they work properly.
Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
Stand slightly to the left side of saw. This keeps your body from being in direct line with chain.
Do not let Guide Bar nose touch anything when chain is moving.
Never try cutting through two logs at same time. Only cut one log at a time.
Do not bury the Guide Bar nose or try plunge cut (boring into wood using Guide Bar nose).
Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that may pinch chain.
Use extreme caution when reentering a previous cut.
Use only the low-kickback chain and Guide Bar that were supplied with this chain saw or recommended.
Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp with proper tension.
How to use Saw Safely
1. Use the chain saw only with secure footing.
2. Hold the chain saw at the right-hand side of your body (See Fig. K).
3. The Chain must be running at full speed before it makes contact with the wood.
4. Do not operate the chain saw with arms fully extended, attempt to saw areas which are difficult to reach, or
stand on a ladder while sawing (See Fig. L).
Never use the chain saw above shoulder height
