TO TURN THE TOOL ON
Push the lock button in with your thumb and then squeeze the
trigger with your fingers. (Once the tool is running, you can release
the lock button). To turn the tool OFF, release the trigger.
WARNING: To guard against injury, observe the following:
- Read instruction manual before using, save instruction manual.
- Keep hands away from chain.
- Keep hands on handles. Don't overreach.
A good, firm grip on the saw with both hands will help you maintain
control. Don't let go. Grip the rear handle with your right hand
whether you are right or left handed. Wrap the fingers of your left
hand over and around the front handlebar, and your left thumb
under the front handlebar.
WARNING: Do not operate chain saw in a tree, on a ladder, or on a
scaffold; this is extremely dangerous.
CAUTION: Chain coasts after turned off.
Do not use under wet conditions.
Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush, saplings or
limbs under tension, because slender and tense material may catch
the saw and be whipped toward you, pull you off balance or spring
back.
Do not cut vines and/or small underbrush.
WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with this type of tool to make
you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict serious injury.
Before you start the unit, make sure the chain saw is not contacting
any object.
WARNING: Do not cut trees near electrical wires or buildings.
Make sure you follow the instructions in maintenance for putting oil
in the chain saw.
CAUTION: Failure to lubricate the chain will cause damage to the
bar and chain. Use only a good quality bar and chain oil or, if not
available, unused SAE 30 weight motor oil may be substituted. One
minute of use will consume approx. 0.2 fl. oz. (6ml) of oil.
NOTE: It is normal for oil to seep from the saw when not in use. To
prevent seepage, empty the oil tank after each use. When storing
the unit for a long period of time (3 months or longer) be sure the
chain is lightly lubricated; this will prevent rust on the chain and bar
sprocket.
WARNING: Kickback may occur when the moving chain contacts
an object at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar or when the
wood closes in and pinches the chain saw in the cut. Contact at the
upper portion of the tip of the guide bar can cause the chain to dig
into the object and stop the chain for an instant. The result is a light-
ening fast, reverse reaction which kicks the guide bar up and back
toward the operator. If the chain saw is pinched along the top of the
guide bar, the guide bar can be driven rapidly back toward the oper-
ator. Either of these reactions can cause loss of saw control which
can result in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety
devices built into the saw. As
a chain saw user, you should
take several steps to keep
your cutting jobs free from
accident or injury .

OPERATING

WARNING: Do Not use the chain saw with any type of accessory
or attachment. Such usage might be hazardous.
The following precautions should be followed to minimize
kickback:
1.
Always grip the saw firmly with both hands. Hold the saw
firmly with both hands when the unit is running. Place your
right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front
handle with your thumbs and fingers encircling the chain
saw handles. A firm grip together with a stiff left arm will help
you maintain control of the saw if kickback occurs.
2.
Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from
obstructions. Do not let the nose of the guide bar contact a
log, branch, fence or any other obstruction that could be hit
while you are operating the saw.
3.
Always cut with the unit running at full speed. Fully squeeze
the throttle trigger and maintain a steady cutting speed.
Push and Pull – This reaction force is always opposite to the
direction the chain is moving where wood contact is made. Thus,
the operator must be ready to control the PULL when cutting on
the bottom edge of the bar, and PUSH when cutting along the top
edge.
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
Proper Cutting Stance
Weight should be balanced with both feet on solid ground.
Keep left arm with elbow locked in a "straight arm" position to
withstand any kickback force.
Your body should always be to the left of the chain line.
Basic Cutting Procedure
Small trees up to 6-7inches in diameter are usually cut in a single
cut. Large trees require notch cuts. Notch cuts determine the
direction the tree will fall.
WARNING: If the tree starts to fall in the wrong direction, or if the
saw gets caught or hung up during the fall, leave the saw and
save yourself.
WARNING: Periodically glance at the top of the tree during the
back-cut to assure the tree is going to fall in the desired direction.
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 off.
Squeeze the trigger and let the chain accelerate to full speed
before entering the cut.
Hold the saw firmly
with both hands.
Always keep your
left hand on the
front handle and
your right hand on
the rear handle so
that your body is to
the left of the chain
line.
