IMPORTANT SAFETY 

INFORMATION

limb could spring back and strike operator caus-

ing severe injury or death.

16. Carry chain saw from one place to another

•  with saw stopped and unplugged

•  by holding front handle (never use hand guard 

as handle)

•  with finger off trigger

•  with guide bar and chain to rear

This  saw  has  a  low-kickback  chain  and  reduced 

kickback guide bar. Both items reduce the chance of 

kickback. Kickback can still occur with this saw. 

Follow  assembly  instructions  on  page  16.  Do  not 

remove front hand guard. Do not replace front hand 

guard with substitute.

The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.

•  Use both hands to grip saw while saw is running. 

Use  firm  grip.  Thumbs  and  fingers  must  wrap 

around saw handles.

•  Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make sure 

they work properly.

•  Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.

•  Keep solid footing and balance at all times.

•  Stand slightly to left side of saw. This keeps your 

body from being in direct line with chain.

•  Do  not  let  guide  bar  nose  touch  anything  when 

chain is moving (see Figure 2).

•  Never try cutting through two logs at same time. 

Only cut one log at a time.

•  Do not bury guide bar nose or try plunge cut (boring 

into wood using guide bar nose).

•  Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that may 

pinch chain.

•  Use extreme caution when reentering a previous cut.

•  Use  low-kickback  chain  and  guide  bar  supplied 

with this chain saw. Only replace these parts with 

chains and guide bars listed in this manual. 

•  Never use dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp 

with proper tension.

Follow maintenance instructions in this manual. Proper 

cleaning of saw and chain and guide bar maintenance 

can reduce chances of kickback. Inspect and maintain 

saw after each use. This will increase the service life of 

your saw. 

Note: Even with proper sharpening, risk of 

kickback can increase with each sharpening.

1.  Unplug chain saw from power source 

•  when not in use

•  before moving from one place to another

•  before servicing

•  before  changing  accessories  or  attachments, 

such as saw chain and guard

2.  Inspect  chain  saw  before  and  after  each  use. 

Check  saw  closely  if  guard  or  other  part  has 

been damaged. Check for any damage that may 

affect operator safety or operation of saw. Check 

for alignment or binding of moving parts. Check 

for broken or damaged parts. Do not use chain 

saw if damage affects safety or operation. Have 

damage repaired by authorized service center.

3.  Maintain chain saw with care.

•  Never expose saw to rain.
