ADDITIONAL WARNINGS

A chain saw is intended for two-handed use
(Fig .2) . Serious injury to the operator, helpers,
and/or bystanders can result from one-handed
operation.
Make sure that the area in which you are
cutting 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.
Always cut with the unit running at full
speed . Fully squeeze the switch trigger and
maintain cutting speed.
With a basic understanding of kickback,
you can reduce or eliminate the element
of surprise (Fig .3 .4 .5) . Sudden surprise
contributes to accidents.
