GENERAL SAFETY RULES

Save these instructions. Refer to them fre- quently and use them to instruct others who

may use this product. If you loan someone this product, loan them these instructions also.

WARNING:

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some ex- amples of these chemicals are:

•  lead from lead-based paints,

•  crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and •  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 equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic par- ticles.

KICKBACK

See Figures 1 - 2.

WARNING:

Kickback may occur when the moving chain contacts an object at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Contact at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar can cause the chain to dig into the object and stop the chain for an instant. The result is a lightning fast, reverse reaction which kicks the guide bar up and back toward the operator. If the saw chain is pinched along the top of the guide bar, the guide bar can be driven rapidly back toward the operator. Either of these reactions can cause loss of saw control which can result in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into the saw. As a chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep your cut- ting jobs free from accident or injury.

The following precautions should be followed to minimize kickback:

1.Always grip the saw firmly with both hands. Hold the saw firmly with both hands when the unit is running. Place your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle with your thumbs and fingers encircl- ing the chain saw handles. A firm grip together

with a stiff left arm will help you maintain control of the saw if kickback occurs.

2.Make sure that the area in which you are cut- ting is free from obstructions. Do not let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, fence, or any other obstruction that could be hit while you are operating the saw.

3.Always cut with the unit running. Fully squeeze the switch trigger and maintain cutting speed.
