OPERATION
PROPER CUTTING STANCE (See Fig. 10)
Balance your weight with both feet on solid ground.
Keep left arm with elbow locked in a "straight arm" position to withstand any kickback force.
Keep your body to the left of the chain line.
Keep your thumb on underside of handlebar.
BASIC OPERATING/CUTTING PROCEDURES
Practice cutting a few small logs using the following technique to get the "feel" of using the saw
before you begin a major sawing operation.
Take the proper stance in front of the wood with the saw idling.
Press the switch lock and squeeze the trigger switch, then release switch lock and let the
chain accelerate to full speed before entering the cut.
Begin cutting with the saw against the log.
Keep the unit running the entire time you are cutting, maintain a steady speed.
Allow the chain to cut for you; exert only light downward pressure.
Forcing the cut could result in damage to the bar, chain, or motor.
Release the trigger switch as soon as the cut is completed, allowing the chain to stop. If you run
the saw without a cutting load, unnecessary wear can occur to the chain, bar, and unit.
Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of the cut.
