OPERATION
Work Area Precautions
WARNING: Cut only wood or materials made from
wood. Do not cut metal, plastics, masonry, or non-
wood building materials.
• Never allow children to operate your saw. Only allow others
to use this chainsaw who have read this Operator's Manual or
received adequate instructions for the safe and proper use of
44
this chainsaw.
• Keep everyone - helpers, bystanders, children, and animals
a safe distance from the cutting area (Fig. 44). During felling
operations, the safe distance should be a least twice the
height of the largest trees in the felling area. During bucking
operations, keep a minimum distance of 35 feet (10 m)
between workers.
• Always cut with both feet on solid ground to prevent being
pulled off balance.
• Do not cut above chest height, as a saw held higher is difficult
to control against kickback forces.
• Do not fell trees near electrical wires or buildings. Leave this
operation for professionals.
• Cut only when visibility and light are adequate for you to see
clearly.
• Do not cut from a ladder, this is extremely dangerous.
Leave this operation for professionals.
• Stop the saw if the chain strikes a foreign object. Inspect the
saw and repair parts as necessary.
•
Keep the chain out of dirt and sand. Even a small amount
of dirt will quickly dull a chain and increase the possibility of
kickback.
• Stop the engine before setting the saw down.
• Be particularly cautious and alert while wearing hearing
protection because such equipment may restrict your ability to
hear sounds indicating danger (calls, signals, warnings, etc).
45A
• Be extremely cautious when working on slopes or uneven
ground.
• When a chainsaw is being used, a fire extinguisher should be
available.
Starting The Engine
WARNING: Keep body to the left of the chain line.
Never straddle the saw or chain, or lean over past
45B
the chain line. The chain brake must be engaged
when starting the saw.
• Place the chainsaw on level ground and ensure that no objects
or obstructions are in immediate vicinity which could come in
contact with the bar and chain. Hold the front handle firmly
with the left hand and put your right foot onto the base of the
rear handle, see Fig. 45B.
• Set the chain brake by pushing the chain brake lever / hand
guard forward (towards the bar), to the Brake Position as
shown in Fig. 46. Refer to Safety-Chain Brake and Operation-
Chain Brake Sections for additional information.
