PREPARING FOR CUTTING
Proper grip on handles
See General Safety Rules for appropriate
safety equipment.
• Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and
protection.
• Hold the saw firmly with both hands. Always
keep your left hand on the front handle and
your right hand on the rear handle so that
your body is to the left of the chain line.
• Maintain a proper grip on the saw whenever
the motor is running. The fingers should
encircle the handle and the thumb is wrapped
under the handlebar.
OPERATION
Keep body to the left
Safety Lock
The grip is least likely to be broken by
kickback or other sudden reaction of the saw.
Any grip in which the thumb and fingers are
on the same side of the handle is dangerous
because a slight kick of the saw can cause
loss of control.
WARNING:
Never use a left-handed (cross-handed) grip
or any stance that would place your body or
arm across the chain line.
WARNING
DO NOT operate the
switch trigger with your
left hand and hold the
front handle with your
right hand. Never allow
any part of your body
to be in the chain line
while operating a saw.
