RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

Avoid accidental starting. Be in the starting position whenever pulling the starter rope. The operator and unit must be in a stable position while starting. See Starting/Stopping Instructions.

Before you start the engine, make sure the area around the saw is clear. Never try to start the saw when the guide bar is engaged in a cut.

Do not start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path from the falling tree.

Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or not completely and securely assembled. Be sure that the saw’s chain stops moving when the throttle control trigger is released.

Shut off the engine before setting the chain saw down.

Use extreme caution when cutting small-sized brush and saplings because slender material may catch the chain saw and whip towards you or cause you to lose control.

When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for springback so that you will not be struck when the ten- sion in the wood fibers is released.

Do not cut through nails, rods in the tree, railroad ties or pallets. Inspect a tree that you are going to cut for for- eign objects that could cause injury or damage to your chain saw.

After striking a foreign object, stop the engine and thor- oughly inspect for damage. Repair as necessary.

Keep the handles dry, clean and free of the oil/fuel mix- ture.

We do not recommend using the chain saw in a tree or on a ladder.

MAINTAIN YOUR SAW IN GOOD WORKING ORDER

All chain saw service, other than the items listed in this instruction manual maintenance instructions, should be performed by a Sears or other qualified service dealer.

Make sure all fasteners are in place and secure.

Unauthorized replacement parts or the removal of safety devices may cause damage to the unit and possible injury to the operator or bystanders. Use only Craftsman accessories and replacement parts as recommended. Never modify your saw.

When not in use, saw should be stored in a dry, highly secure location away from children.

When storing saw use a scabbard or carrying case.

HANDLE FUEL WITH CAUTION

Do not smoke while handling fuel or while operating the saw.

Always eliminate all sources of sparks or flame in areas where fuel is mixed or poured.

Always mix and pour fuel in an outdoor area and use an approved, marked container for all fuels. Always wipe up all fuel spills before starting saw.

When a chain saw is being used, a fire extinguisher should be available.

Always move at least 10 feet (3 meters) from fueling site before starting saw.

When re-fueling, turn the engine off and allow the saw to cool in a non-combustible area, do not place on dry leaves, straw, paper, etc. Slowly remove fuel cap and refuel unit.

Always store the unit and fuel in a cool, dry, well-venti- lated space where fuel vapors cannot reach sparks or open flames from water heaters, electric motors or switches, furnaces, etc.

All chain saw service, other that the items listed in this instruction manual maintenance instructions, should be performed by a Sears or other qualified service dealer.

Use the right tool. Only use this chain saw for its intend- ed purpose, to cut wood.

Never touch the chain or attempt to service the saw while the engine is running. Make sure all moving parts have stopped. Allow the chain saw to cool, as the chain can be hot.

Check the bar and chain at frequent intervals for proper adjustment. Make sure the bar and chain are properly tightened and sharpened. Visually inspect for damage. Repair any damage before restarting or operating the chain saw.

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 con- tact 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 toward the operator. Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw, which could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents. Be alert to the potential for kickback at all times.

Keep a good firm grip on the saw with both hands, the right hand on the rear handle 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 reduce kickback and maintain control of the saw. Don’t let go.
