Preparation for Cutting

Refer to "Safety Warnings" earlier in this manual for appropriate safety equipment.
Work Area Precautions
Cut only wood or materials made from wood; do not cut sheet metal, plastics, masonry, or
non-wood building materials.
Never allow children to operate the chain saw.
Allow no person to use this chain saw who has not read this Operator's Manual or received
adequate instructions for the safe and proper use of this chain saw.
When felling a tree, keep everyone - helpers, bystanders, children, and animals - a safe
distance from the cutting area. During felling operations, the safe distance should be a
least twice the height of the largest trees in the felling area. During bucking operations,
keep a minimum distance of 15 feet (4.5 m) between workers. Trees should not be felled
in a manner that would endanger any person, strike any utility line or cause any property
damage. If a tree does make contact with any utility line, stay clear of the tree and the line
and notify the utility company immediately.
Always cut with both feet on solid ground to
prevent being pulled off balance.
Do not cut above chest height, as a saw held
higher is difficult to control against kickback
forces.
Do not fell trees near electrical wires or
buildings.
Cut only when visibility and light are adequate
for you to see clearly.
Proper Grip On Handles
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and
protection.
With the saw on a firm, flat surface, hold the
saw firmly with both hands.
Always grasp the front handle with the left
hand and the rear handle with the right hand.
The fingers should encircle the handle, with
the thumb wrapped under the front handle
(Fig. 12).
