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 replaced by authorized service center. Do not use chain saw if switch does not turn it on and off. Do not 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 trigger is released.

• Guard Against 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 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:

(1.) Grip Saw Firmly. Hold the chain saw firmly with both hands when the motor is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles. Chain saw will pull forward when cutting on the bottom edge of the bar, and push backward when cutting along the top edge of the bar.

(2.) Do not over reach.

(3.) Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

(4.) Don't let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, ground or other obstruction.

(5.) Don't cut above shoulder height.

(6.) Use devices such as low kickback chain and reduced kickback guide bars that reduce the risks associated with kickback.

(7.) Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer or the equivalent.

(8.) Never let the moving chain contact any object at the tip of the

guide bar.

(9.) Keep the working area free from obstructions such as other trees, branches, rocks, fences, stumps, etc. Eliminate or avoid any obstruction that your saw chain could hit while you are cutting through a particular log or branch.

(10.) Keep your saw chain sharp and properly tensioned. A loose or dull chain can increase the chance of kickback. Check tension at regular intervals with the motor stopped and battery removed, never with the motor running.

(11.) Begin and continue cutting only with the chain moving at full speed. If the chain is moving at a slower speed, there is a greater chance for kickback to occur.

(12.) Cut one log at a time.

(13.) Use extreme caution when re-entering a previous cut. Engage ribbed bumpers into wood and allow chain to reach full speed before proceeding with cut.

(14.) Do not attempt plunge cuts or bore cuts.

(15.) Watch for shifting logs or other forces that could close a cut and pinch or fall into chain.

• Power Supply

Connect chain saw battery charger to correct voltage, that is, be sure that the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool.
