OPERATION
PROPER CUTTING STANCE
• 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 front handle.
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.
• Press the safety lock and squeeze the trigger switch then release the safety 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.
