Cutting Instructions
Grip: Always hold the saw firmly with
both hands when the engine is running.
Place your left hand on front handle bar
and your right hand on rear handle and
throttle trigger. Left-handers should
follow these instructions too.
Wrap your fingers tightly around the
handles, keeping the handles cradled
between your thumb and forefinger.
With your hands in this position, you can
best oppose and absorb the push, pull
and kickback forces of your saw without
losing control (see section on reactive
forces). Make sure your chainsaw
handles and grip are in good condition
and free of moisture, pitch, oil or grease.
!
Warning!
Do not operate your chainsaw with the
starting throttle lock engaged. Cutting
with the starting throttle lock engaged
does not permit the operator proper
control of the saw or chain speed.
!
Warning!
Never touch a chain with your hand or
any part of your body when the engine is
running, even when the chain is not
rotating. The chain continues to rotate
for a short period after the throttle trigger
is released.
!
Warning!
Do not cut any material other than wood
or wooden objects.
Use your chainsaw for cutting only.
It is not designed for prying or shoveling
away limbs, roots or other objects.
When sawing, make sure that the saw
chain does not touch any foreign
materials such as rocks, fences, nails
and the like.
Such objects may be flung off, damage
the saw chain or cause the saw to
kickback.
!
Warning!
In order to keep control of your saw,
always maintain a firm foothold.
Never work on a ladder, or on any other
insecure support. Never use the saw
above shoulder height.
!
Warning!
Never work in a tree unless you have
received specific, professional training
for such work, are properly secured
(such as tackle and harness system or a
lift bucket), have both hands free for
operating the chainsaw in a cramped
environment and have taken proper
precautions to avoid injury from falling
limbs or branches.
