Maintain Control

Stand to the left of the saw

Never reverse hand positions

Elbow locked

Thumb on underside of handlebar

SKeep a good, firm grip on the saw with both hands when the engine is running and don’t let go. A firm grip will help you reduce kickback and maintain control of the saw. Keep the fingers of your left hand encircling and your left thumb un- der the front handlebar. Keep your right hand completely around the rear han- dle whether your are right handed or left handed. Keep your left arm straight

with the elbow locked.

S Position your left hand on the front han- dlebar so it is in a straight line with your right hand on the rear handle when making bucking cuts. Never reverse right and left hand positions for any type of cutting.

S Stand with your weight evenly bal- anced on both feet.

S Stand slightly to the left side of the saw to keep your body from being in a direct line with the cutting chain.

S Do not overreach. You could be drawn or thrown off balance and lose control of the saw.

S Do not cut above shoulder height. It is difficult to maintain control of saw above shoulder height.

KICKBACK SAFETY FEATURES WARNING: The following features are included on your saw to help reduce the hazard of kickback; however, such features will not totally eliminate this dangerous reac- tion. As a chain saw user, do not rely only on safety devices. You must follow all safety precautions, instructions, and maintenance in this manual to help avoid kickback and other forces which can result in serious injury.

SReduced---Kickback Guide Bar, de- signed with a small radius tip which re- duces the size of the kickback danger zone on the bar tip. A Reduced---Kick-

back Guide Bar has been demon- strated to significantly reduce the num- ber and seriousness of kickbacks when tested in accordance with safety re- quirements for gasoline powered chain saws as set by ANSI B175.1.

S Low---Kickback Chain, designed with a contoured depth gauge and guard link which deflect kickback force and allow wood to gradually ride into the cutter. Low---Kickback Chain has met kick- back performance requirements when tested on a representative sample of chain saws below 3.8 cubic inch displacement specified in ANSI B175.1.

S Handguard, designed to reduce the chance of your left hand contacting the chain if your hand slips off the front han- dlebar.

S Position of front and rear handlebars, designed with distance between han- dles and “in-line” with each other. The spread and “in-line” position of the hands provided by this design work to- gether to give balance and resistance in controlling the pivot of the saw back to- ward the operator if kickback occurs.
