SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

PUSH AND PULL

See Figure 1.

The reaction force is always opposite to the direction the chain is moving. Thus, the operator must be ready to control the PULL when cutting on the bottom edge of the bar and the PUSH when cutting along the top edge.

Note: Your chain saw has been fully factory tested. It is normal to find some slight oil residue on the saw.

MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS

Never operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or is not completely and securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the throttle control trigger is released. If the saw chain moves at idle speed, the carburetor may need adjusting. Refer to “Operation” later in this manual. If the saw chain still moves at idle speed after adjustment has been made, contact a Homelite Service Center for adjustment and discontinue use until the repair is made.

WARNING:

All chain saw service, other than items in the operator's manual maintenance instructions, should be performed by competent chain saw service personnel. If improper tools are used to remove the flywheel or clutch, or if an improper tool is used to hold the flywheel in order to remove the clutch, structural damage to the flywheel could occur which could subsequently cause the flywheel to burst and serious injury could result.

KICKBACK

Kickback is a dangerous reaction that can lead to serious injury. Do not rely only on the safety devices provided with your saw. As a chain saw user, you must take special safety precautions to help keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

Note: See the "Operation" section later in this manual for added information on kickback and how to avoid serious personal injury.
