WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some ex-
amples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
KICKBACK
See Figures 1 - 2.
WARNING:
Kickback may occur when the moving chain
contacts an object at the upper portion of the
tip of the guide bar or when the wood closes in
and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Contact at
the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar can
cause the chain to dig into the object and stop
the chain for an instant. The result is a lightning
fast, reverse reaction which kicks the guide bar
up and back toward the operator. If the saw
chain is pinched along the top of the guide bar,
the guide bar can be driven rapidly back toward
the operator. Either of these reactions can cause
loss of saw control which can result in serious
injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety
devices built into the saw. As a chain saw user,
you should take several steps to keep your cut-
ting jobs free from accident or injury.
 The following precautions should be followed
to minimize kickback:
• Always grip the saw firmly with both hands.
Hold the saw firmly with both hands when
the unit is running. Place your right hand on
the rear handle and your left hand on the front
handle with your thumbs and fingers encircling
the chain saw handles. A firm grip together
with a stiff left arm will help you maintain
control of the saw if kickback occurs.

SAFE-T-TIP
• Make sure that the area in which you are cut-
ting is free from obstructions. Do not let the
nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch,
fence, or any other obstruction that could be
hit while you are operating the saw.
• Always cut with the unit running. Fully
squeeze the switch trigger and maintain cut-
ting speed.
• Use replacement parts such as low kickback
chain, SAFE-T-TIP
guards and special guide bars that reduce
