SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Kickback is a dangerous reaction that can lead to serious injury. Kickback may occur when the moving chain con- tacts an object at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar or when the wood closes in and pinches the chain 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 lightning-fast, reverse reaction which kicks the guide bar up and back toward the operator. If the chain is pinched along the top of the guide bar, the guide bar can be driven rapidly back toward the operator, which can cause loss of control and may result in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into the product.

With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.

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 while you are operating the unit. Have a planned retreat path.

Cut only when visibility and light are adequate for you to see clearly.

Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Always cut with both feet on solid ground to prevent being pulled off balance.

To protect yourself from electrocution, do not operate within 50 feet of overhead electrical lines.

Before starting the engine, make sure the chain is not contacting any object.

Always cut with the engine running at full speed. Fully squeeze the throttle trigger and maintain a steady cutting speed.

Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your applica- tion. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

To protect yourself from falling branches, do not stand di- rectly under the branch or limb being cut. This unit should not be held at an angle over 60° from ground level.

Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of lubricant or fuel mixture.

Shut off the engine and make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before setting the unit down.

To prevent electrical shock or serious personal injury, do not use this product with any AC power head.

Follow the sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.

Use only the replacement guide bars and low kickback chains specified for the unit.

Operate saw in well ventilated areas.

Do not operate the saw with one hand! Serious injury to the operator, helpers, bystanders, or any combination of these persons may results from one hand operation. This saw is intended for two-handed use.

Use extreme caution when cutting small sized brush and saplings because slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back so that you will not be struck when tension in wood fibers are released.

Keep a good firm grip on the saw with both hands, the right hand on the rear and the left hand on the front handle, when the engine is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles. A firm grip will help you avoid kickback and maintain control of the saw. Don’t let go.

Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless you have been specifically trained to do so.

refueling

Fuel is highly flammable. Take precautions when using to reduce the chance of serious personal injury.

Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely away from spark and/or flame-producing equipment.

Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose.

Only refuel outdoors and do not smoke while refueling.

Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is running or when the engine is hot.

If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.

Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely.

If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this outdoors.
