PROPER GRIP ON HANDLES
See Figures 9 - 10.
Refer to General Power Tool Safety Rules earlier
in this manual for appropriate safety equipment.

keep your left hand on the front handle and your
right hand on the rear handle so that your body
is to the left of the chain line.

WARNING:
Never use a left-handed (cross-handed) grip, or
any stance which would place your body or arm
across the chain line. Improper operation of the
chainsaw could result in serious personal injury.
Maintain a proper grip on the saw whenever
the unit is running. The fingers should encircle
the handle and the thumb is wrapped under the
handlebar. This grip is least likely to be broken
(by a kickback or other sudden reaction of the
saw). Any grip in which the thumb and fingers
are on the same side of the handle, is danger-
ous because a slight kick of the saw can cause
loss of control.
WARNING:
Do not operate the switch trigger with your left
hand and hold the front handle with your right
hand. Never allow any part of your body to be
in the chain line while operating a saw. Improper
operation of the chainsaw could result in serious
personal injury.
