STARTING/STOPPING THE CHAIN SAW
See Figure 7.
WARNING:
Keep body to the left of the chain line. Never
straddle the saw or chain, or lean over past the
chain line. Improper operation of the chain saw

Starting the chain saw:
 Place the chain saw on a flat bare surface and
make sure no objects or obstructions are in
immediate vicinity which could come in contact
with the bar and chain.

the switch trigger operational.

lock-out button and continue to squeeze the
switch trigger for continued operation.

 Upon release of the switch trigger, the lock-out

PREPARATION FOR CUTTING
PROPER GRIP ON HANDLES
See Figures 8 - 10.
Refer to Important Safety Instructions earlier in this
manual for appropriate safety equipment.
 Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and
protection.
 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.
WARNING:
Never use a left-handed (cross-handed) grip, or
any stance which would place your body or arm
across the chain line. Improper operation of the
chain saw could result in serious personal injury.
OPERATION
SWITCH
TRIGGER
 Maintain a proper grip on the saw whenever
the unit is running. The fingers should encircle
the handle and the thumb is wrapped under the
handlebar. This grip is least likely to be broken
(by a kickback or other sudden reaction of the
saw). Any grip in which the thumb and fingers
are on the same side of the handle, is danger-
