GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING
The warnings, labels, and instructions found in
this section of the operatorʼs manual are for your
safety. Failure to follow all instructions may result in
serious personal injury. Safe operation of this tool
requires that you read and understand this operatorʼs
manual and all labels affi xed to the tool. Safety is a
combination of using common sense, staying alert,
and knowing how your saw works.
KNOW YOUR TOOL. Read the operatorʼs manual
■
carefully. Learn the sawʼs applications and limitations
as well as the specifi c potential hazards related to this
tool.
CHAINSAWS are designed for cutting wood only.
■
KICK-BACK MAY OCCUR WHEN THE NOSE OF
■
THE GUIDE BAR touches an object or when the wood
closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. The
nose of guide bar contact in some cases may cause
a lightning-fast reverse reaction kicking the guide bar
up and back toward the operator. Pinching the saw
chain along the top of the guide bar may push the
guide bar rapidly back toward the operator. Either of
these reactions may cause you to lose control of the
saw which could result in serious personal injury. DO
NOT rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into
your saw. As a chainsaw user, you should take several
steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or
injury.
1. With a basic understanding of kick-back, you can
reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden
surprise contributes to accidents.
2. Keep a good fi rm grip on the saw with both hands
when the engine is running. Place your right hand on
the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle
with your thumbs and fi ngers encircling the chainsaw
handles. A fi rm grip together with a stiff left arm will help
you maintain control of the saw if kick-back occurs.
3. 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.
4. Cut at high engine speeds. Always cut with the engine
running at full speed. Fully squeeze the throttle trigger
and maintain a steady cutting speed.
5. Do not overreach or cut above chest height.
6. Follow the manufacturerʼs sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
