chain saw.
•  heavy-duty gloves (wear rubber gloves when 

working outdoors)

•  steel-toed safety footwear with non-skid soles

Make sure you read and understand all in-
structions in Important Safety Information 
on pages 3 through 5. Improper use of this 
chain saw can cause severe injury or death 
from fire, electrical shock, body contact 
with moving chain, or falling wood.

•  eye protection such as safety glasses, goggles, 

or face screen

• safety hard hat
•  ear mufflers or ear plugs
•  hair covering to contain long hair
•  face or dust mask (if working in dusty areas)

10. Before cutting, always provide the following:

• clear work area
• secure footing
•  planned retreat path from falling tree

11. Inspect tree before cutting down. Make sure there are 

no dead limbs or branches that may fall on you.

12. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this saw has a 

polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). 
This plug will fi t in a polarized outlet only one 
way. If the plug does not fi t fully in the outlet of 
your extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still 
does not fi t, a polarized extension cord will be 
necessary. Do not change the plug in any way.

1.  Stay alert. Use common sense while operating 

chain saw.

2.  Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite 

injuries.

3.  Be aware of extension cord while operating chain 

saw. Be careful not to trip over cord. Keep cord 
away from chain and operator at all times. 

4.  Keep children, animals, and bystanders away 

from chain saw and extension cord. Only chain 
saw user should be in work area. 

5.  Do not cut down a tree unless you are trained or 

have expert help.

6.  If two or more persons perform bucking and fell-

ing operations at the same time, provide plenty 
of distance between operations. Provide distance 
of at least twice the height of tree being felled.

7.  Secure wood you are cutting by using clamps or 

chocks.

8.  Grip chain saw firmly with both hands. Never 

operate chain saw with one hand. Never use hand 
guard as handle.

contact with grounded objects such as pipes, 
fences, and metal posts.

12. Keep all parts of body away from chain when 

saw is running.

13. Do not force chain saw while cutting. Apply light 

pressure. It will do the job better and safer at the 
rate for which it was intended.
