extension cord to power supply. (See Fig.
I2)
(2) Make sure section of log to be cut is not
laying on the ground. This will keep the
chain (10) from touching the ground as it
cuts through the log.
Touching the ground while the Chain is
moving is dangerous and will dull the
Chain.
(3) Use both hands to grip saw. Always use
left hand to grip Front Handle (6) and
right hand to grip Rear Handle (1). Use a
firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap
around saw handles (See Fig.I3 ).
(4) Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet
shoulder width apart. Distribute your
weight evenly on both feet.
(5) When ready to make a cut, push the
Lock-Out Button (3) completely in with
the right thumb and squeeze the trigger.
This will turn the saw on. Releasing the
trigger will turn the saw off. Make sure
the saw is running at full speed before
starting a cut.
(6) When starting a cut, slowly place moving
chain against the wood. The wood
should be as close to the sawbody as
possible. Hold saw firmly in place to avoid
16
possible bouncing or skating (sideways
movement) of saw.
(7) Guide the saw using light pressure and do
not put excessive force on the saw, letting
the saw do its work, or the motor will
overload and can burn out. It will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it
was intended.
(8) Remove the saw from a cut with the saw
running at full speed. Stop the saw by
releasing the On/off Switch (2). Make sure
the chain has stopped before setting the
saw down.
(9) Keep practicing on scrap logs in a secure
working area until you are comfortable,
using a fluid motion and a steady cutting
rate.
Kickback Safety Devices On This Saw
This saw has a low-kickback chain and
reduced kickback Guide Bar. Both items
reduce the chance of kickback. However,
Chain saw
kickback can still occur with this saw.
The following steps will reduce the risk of
kickback.
• Use both hands to grip saw while saw
is running. Use firm grip. Thumbs and
fingers must wrap around saw handles.
• Keep all safety items in place on saw.
Make sure they work properly.
• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder
height.
• Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
• Stand slightly to left side of saw. This
keeps your body from being in direct line
with chain.
• Do not let Guide Bar nose touch anything
when chain is moving.
• Never try cutting through two logs at
same time. Only cut one log at a time.
• Do not bury the Guide Bar nose or try
plunge cut (boring into wood using
Guide Bar nose).
• Watch for shifting of wood or other
forces that may pinch chain.
• Use extreme caution when reentering a
previous cut.
• Use only the low-kickback chain and
Guide Bar (9) that were supplied with this
chain saw or recommended.
• Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep
chain sharp with proper tension.
How to use Saw Safely
1. Use the chain saw only with secure footing.
2. Hold the chain saw at the right-hand side
of your body (See Fig. J).
3. The Chain (10) must be running at full
speed before it makes contact with the
wood.
4. Use the Bumper Spikes (8) to secure the
saw onto the wood before starting to cut.
5. Use the Bumper Spikes as a leverage
point while cutting. (See Fig. K)
6. Do not operate the chain saw with arms
fully extended, or attempt to saw areas
which are difficult to reach, or stand on a
ladder while sawing (See Fig. L).
7. Never use the chain saw above
shoulder height.
