saw by the cord or pull it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from oil and sharp edges. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

-Disconnect Chain Saw

Disconnect chain saw when not in use, before servicing, and when changing accessories and attachments, such as saw chain and guard (6).

-Outdoor Use Extension Cords

Use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so markerd.

-Stay Alert

Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate chain saw when you are tired. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the motor is operating. Before you start the saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything.

-Check Damaged Parts

Before further use of the chain saw, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual. Have defective switches be replaced by authorized service center. Do not use chain saw if the switch does not turn the saw on and off. Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or is not completely and securely assembled (7). Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the trigger is released.

-Guard Against Kickback

WARNlNG: KICKBACK may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object (8), or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning fast reverse 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. The following precautions should be followed to minimize kickback:

-Grip saw firmly. Hold the chain saw firmly with both hands when the motor is running (9). Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles.

-Do not over reach.

-Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

-Don’t let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, ground, or other obstruction.

-Don’t cut above shoulder height (10).

-Use devices such as low kickback chain, chain brakes and special guide bars that reduce the risks associated with kickback.

-Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the rnanufacturer.
