7 . Guide the saw using light pressure and
do not put excessive force on the saw. The
motor will overload and can burn out. It
will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was intended.
8. Remove the saw from a cut with the saw
running at full speed. Stop the saw by
releasing the On/off Switch. Make sure the
Chain has stopped before setting the saw
down.
9. Keep practicing on scrap logs in a secure
working area until you get the hang of
it and can saw with ease, using a fluid
motion and a steady cutting rate.
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 left side of saw.This keeps
your body from being in direct line with
chain.
• Do not let the 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 Guide Bar nose or try a plunge
cut (boring into wood using the 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.
• Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain
sharp with proper tension.

CuttiNg wOOd uNdER tENSiON (See
Fig. l)
waRNiNg: when cutting a limb
that is under tension, use extreme
caution. be alert for wood springing
back. when wood tension is released,
limb could spring back and strike
operator causing severe injury or death.
When sawing logs supported on both ends,
start the cut from above (Y) about 1/3 of the
diameter into the log and then finish the cut
(Z) from below, in order to avoid contact of
the chain saw with the ground. When sawing
logs supported on only one end, start the cut
from below (Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into
the log and finish the cut from above (Z) in
order to avoid log splitting or jamming of the
chain saw.
