Work Area Precautions
•
Cut only wood or materials made from wood;
do not cut sheet metal, plastics, masonry, or
non-wood building materials.
•
Never allow children to operate the chain saw.
•
Allow no person to use this chain saw who has
not read this Operators Manual or received
adequate instructions for the safe and proper
use of this chain
•
When felling a tree, keep everyone - helpers,
bystanders, children, and animals - a safe
distance from the cutting area. During felling
operations, the safe distance should be a least
twice the height of the largest trees in the
felling area, during bucking operations, keep a
minimum distance of 15 feet (4.5 m) between
workers. Trees should not be felled in a
manner that would endanger any person,
strike any utility line or cause any property
damage. If a tree does make contact with any
utility line, stay clear of the tree and the line
and notify the utility company immediately.
•
Always cut with both feet on solid ground to
prevent being pulled off balance.
•
Do not cut above chest height, asa saw held
higher is difficult to control against kickback
forces.
•
Do not fell trees near electrical wires or
buildings.
•
Cut only when visibility and light are adequate
for you to see clearly.
Proper Grip on Handles

Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and
protection.
•
With the saw on a firm, fiat surface, hold the
saw firmly with both hands.
•
Always grasp the front handle with the left
hand and the rear handle with the right

The fingers should encircle the handle, with
the thumb wrapped under the front handle
