8) Remove the saw from a cut with the saw
running at full speed. Stop the saw by
releasing the On/off Switch (2). Make sure
the chain has stopped before setting the
saw down.

working area until you are comfortable 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 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 the Guide Bar nose or try
plunge cut (boring into wood using 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 (9) that were supplied with this chain
saw or recommended.
•
Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain
sharp with proper tension.
HOW TO USE SAW SAFELY
1. Use the chain saw only with secure
footing.
2. Hold the chain saw at the right-hand side
of your body. (See Fig. I)
3. The Chain (10) must be running at full speed
before it makes contact with the wood.
Electric Chain Saw
4. Use the Bumper Spikes (8) to secure the
saw onto the wood before starting to cut.
5. Use the Bumper Spikes as a leverage point
while cutting. (See Fig. J)
6. Do not operate the chain saw with arms
fully extended, or attempt to saw areas
which are difficult to reach, or stand on a
ladder while sawing. (See Fig. K)
7. Never use the chain saw above shoulder
height.
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) (overbuck) 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 (underbuck) and
finish the cut from above (Z) in order to avoid
log splitting or jamming of the chain saw.
SAW MAINTENANCE
Follow maintenance instructions in this
manual. Proper cleaning of saw and chain and
Guide Bar maintenance can reduce chances
of kickback. Inspect and maintain saw after
each use. This will increase the service life of
your saw.
NOTE: Even with proper sharpening, risk of
kickback can increase with each sharpening.
MAINTENANCE AND
STORAGE OF CHAIN SAW
If the replacement of the supply cord is
necessary, this has to be done by the
manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a
safety hazard.
