area. Do not allow other persons to be nearby
during starting or cutting with the chain saw.
NOTE: The size of the work area depends on the
job being performed as well as the size tree or

Follow the sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain.
Never operate a chain saw that is damaged,
improperly adjusted, or is not completely

chain stops moving when the throttle control
trigger is released. If the saw chain moves at
idle speed, the carburetor may need adjust-

Maintenance section of this manual. If the saw
chain still moves at idle speed after adjustment
has been made, contact an authorized service
center for adjustment and discontinue use until
the repair is made.

chain saw user, you must take special safety
precautions to help keep your cutting jobs free
from accident or injury. See the General Safety
Rules and Operation sections of this manual
for added information on kickback and how to
avoid serious personal injury.
