engine, make sure the saw chain is not contacting
anything.
9. Always carry the chain saw with the engine stopped,
the guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and the muf-
fler away from your body.
10. Always inspect the chain saw before each use for
worn, loose, or changed parts. 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.
11. All chain saw service, other than the items listed
in the Operator's Manual, should be performed by
competent chain saw service personnel. (e.g., if im-
proper tools are used to remove the flywheel, 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 disintegrate).
12. Always shut off the engine before setting it down.
13. Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush
and saplings because slender material may catch
the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull
you off balance.
14. When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for
spring back so that you will not be struck when the
tension in the wood fibers is released.
15. Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil or fuel
mixture.
16. Operate the chain saw only in well ventilated areas.
Never start or run the engine inside a closed room or
building. Exhaust fumes contain dangerous carbon
monoxide.
17. Guard against kickback. Kickback is the upward
motion of the guide bar which occurs when the saw
chain at the nose of the guide bar contacts an object.
Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of control of
the chain saw.
18. When transporting your chain saw, make sure the
appropriate guide bar scabbard is in place.

KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR CHAIN
SAW USERS
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 personal injury.

WARNING
Kickback may occur when the
nose or tip of the guide bar touch-
es an object, or when the wood
closes in and pinches the saw
chain in the cut.
into your saw. As a chain saw user you should take
several steps to keep cutting jobs free from accident
or injury.
1) With a basic understanding of kick-
back you can reduce or eliminate the
element of surprise. Sudden surprise
contributes to accidents.
2) Keep a good 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 run-
ning. Use a firm grip with thumbs and
fingers encircling the chain saw han-
dles. A firm grip will help you reduce
kickback and maintain control of the
saw. Don't let go.
3) Make certain that the area in which
you're cutting is free from obstruc-
tions. Do not let the nose of the guide
bar contact a log, branch, or any other
obstruction which could be hit while
you are operating the saw.
4) Cut at high engine speeds.
5) Do not overreach or cut above shoul-
der height.
6) Follow
and maintenance instructions for saw
chain.
7) Only use replacement bars and
chains specified by the manufacturer
or the equivalent.
