S Keep a good, firm grip on the saw with both

hands when the engine is running and don’t

let go. A firm grip will help you reduce kick-

back and maintain control of the saw . Keep

the fingers of your left hand encircling and

your left thumb under the front handlebar .

Keep your right hand completely around the

rear handle whether your are right handed or

left handed. Keep your left arm straight with

the elbow locked.

S Position your left hand on the front handle-

bar so it is in a straight line with your right

hand on the rear handle when making

bucking cuts. Never reverse right and left

hand positions for any type of cutting.

S Stand with your weight evenly balanced on

both feet.

S Stand slightly to the left side of the saw to

keep your body from being in a direct line

with the cutting chain.

S Do not overreach. You could be drawn or

thrown off balance and lose control of the

saw.

S Do not cut above shoulder height. It is dif fi-

cult to maintain control of saw above

shoulder height.

KICKBACK SAFETY FEATURES

included on your saw to help reduce the hazard

of kickback; however , such features will not to-

tally eliminate this dangerous reaction. As a

chain saw user , do not rely only on safety de-

vices. Y ou must follow all safety precautions,

instructions, and maintenance in this manual to

help avoid kickback and other forces which

can result in serious injury.

S Handguard, designed to reduce the chance

of your left hand contacting the chain if your

hand slips off the front handlebar.

S Position of front and rear handlebars, de-

signed with distance between handles and

“in-line” with each other. The spread and

“in-line” position of the hands provided by

this design work together to give balance

and resistance in controlling the pivot of

the saw back toward the operator if kick-

back occurs.

WARNING: DO NOT RELY UPON

ANY OF THE DEVICES BUILT INTO YOUR

SAW. YOU SHOULD USE THE SAW

PROPERLY AND CAREFULLY TO AVOID

KICKBACK. Reduced--kickback guide bars

and low--kickback saw chains reduce the

chance and magnitude of kickback and are

recommended. Your saw has a low kickback

chain and bar as original equipment. Re-

pairs on a chain brake should be made by an

authorized servicing dealer . Take your unit to

the place of purchase if purchased from a

servicing dealer, or to the nearest authorized

master service dealer.

S Tip contact in some cases may cause a

lightning fast reverse REACTION, kicking

the guide bar upand back toward the oper-

ator.

S Pinching the saw chain along the top ofthe

guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly

back toward the operator.

S Either of these reactions may cause you to

lose control of the saw which could result

in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively

uponthe safety devices built into your saw.

ASSEMBLY

Protective gloves (not provided) should be

worn during assembly.

AT TACHING THE BUMPER SPIKE

(If not already attached)

The bumper spike may be used as a pivot

when making a cut.

1. Loosen and remove the chain brake nuts

and the chain brake from the saw.
