iMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Carrying Saw

Carry saw from one place to another

•with saw stopped

•with finger off trigger

•with guide bar and chain to rear

•Chain saw - by holding front handle (never use hand guard as handle)

•Polesaw - with telescoping pole re- turned to shortest position

•Polesaw - by holding the pole at the balance point (close to saw end)

•Remove battery and use scabbard when transporting saw.

WARNING: This product con- tains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects, or other reproduc- tive harm.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grind- ing, drilling, and other construc- tion activities contains chemicals known (to the state of California) to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

•lead from lead-based paints

•crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products

•arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equip- ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Kickback

WARNING: Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning fast re- verse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator. Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious injury to user.

Kickback Safety Devices On This Saw

This saw has a low-kickback chain and re- duced kickback guide bar. Both items reduce the chance of kickback. Low-kickback saw chain is a chain which met the kickback performance requirements of ANSI B175.1. Kickback can still occur with this saw.

Follow assembly instructions on page 11. Do not remove front hand guard. Do not replace front hand guard with substitute.

The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.

•Use both hands to grip saw while saw is running:

-For chain saw, use both hands to grip saw while saw is running. Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around saw handles.

-For polesaw, use one hand to grip the handle and the other hand to grip the pole. Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around pole and handle.

•Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make sure they work properly.

•Chain saw - do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.

•Polesaw - do not overreach or extend arms 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 any- thing when chain is moving (see Figure 1).

•Never try cutting through two logs at same time. Only cut one log at a time.

•Do not bury 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 low-kickback chain and guide bar supplied with this chain saw. Only re- place these parts with chains and guide bars listed in this manual.

•Never use dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp with proper tension.

Saw Maintenance and Kickback Safety

Follow maintenance instructions in this manual.Propercleaningofsawandchainand guide bar maintenance can reduce chances of kickback. Inspect and maintain saw af- ter each use. This will increase the service life of your saw. Note: Even with proper sharpening, risk of kickback can increase with each sharpening.
