Proper Grip On Handles (Fig. G1)
◾
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
◾
With the saw on a firm, flat surface, hold the saw firmly
with both hands.
◾
Always grasp the front handle with the left hand and
the rear handle with the right.
◾
The fingers should encircle the handle, with the thumb
wrapped under the front handle.
WARNING:
Never use a left-handed (cross-handed)
grip, or any stance which would place your body or arm
across the chain line (Fig. G2)
Proper Cutting Stance (Fig. H)
◾
Both feet should be on solid ground, with weight evenly
spread between them.
◾
The left arm should be straight, with the elbow locked.
This helps to withstand the forces generated by kickback.
◾
Your body should always be to the left of the chain line.
CUTTING
Basic Cutting

saw -horse or cradle.
◾
Begin cutting by lightly pressing the guide bar against
the wood. Use only light pressure, letting the saw do
the work
◾
Maintain a steady speed throughout the cut, releasing
pressure just before the end of the cut.
WARNING:
When the saw chain is stopped due to
pinching during cutting, release the trigger switch; remove
the saw chain and guide bar from the wood, then restart the
chain saw.
WARNING:
Do not pull the saw chain with your hand
