WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure 
to follow all instructions listed below, may result 
in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal 
injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Know your tool. Read the operator’s manual 
carefully. Learn the saw’s applications and 
limitations as well as the specific potential 
hazards related to this tool.
 
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of 
the guide bar touches an object, or when the 
wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in 
the cut. Tip 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 the saw. As a 
chain saw user, you should take several steps 
to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or 
injury.
 •  With  a  basic  understanding  of  kickback,
you can reduce or eliminate the element 
of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to 
accidents.
 •  Keep a good firm 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 fingers encircling the chain saw 
handles. A firm grip together with a stiff left 
arm will help you maintain control of the saw 
if kickback occurs.
 •  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.
 •  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.
 •  Do  not  overreach  or  cut  above  chest
height.
 •  Follow  the  manufacturer’s  sharpening  and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
 •  Only  use  replacement  bars  and  chains
specified by the manufacturer or the 
equivalent.
Do not operate a chain saw with one 
hand. Serious injury to the operator, helpers, 
bystanders, or any combination of these 
persons may result from one-handed operation. 
A chain saw is intended for two-handed use.
Do not operate a chain saw when you are 
fatigued. Fatigue causes carelessness. Be more 
cautious before rest periods and towards the 
end of your shift. Never operate a chain saw 
when you are tired or under the influence of 
medication, drugs, or alcohol.
Use safety footwear. Wear snug-fitting 
clothing,  protective gloves, and eye, hearing, 
and head protection devices.
 
Heavy protective clothing may increase 
operator fatigue, which could lead to 
heat stroke. During weather that is hot and 
humid, heavy work should be scheduled for 
early morning or late afternoon hours when 
temperatures are cooler.
Do not stand on any unstable surface while 
using the chain saw, that includes ladders, 
scaffolds, trees, rooftops, etc.
Use caution when handling fuel. Move the 
chain saw at least 30 feet from the fueling point 
before starting the engine.
Do not allow other persons to be near the 
chain saw when starting or cutting with the 
chain saw. Keep bystanders and animals out
of the work area.
Do not start cutting until you have a clear 
work area, secure footing, and a planned 
retreat path from the falling tree.
Keep all parts of your body away from the 
saw chain when the engine is running.
Always carry the chain saw with the engine 
stopped and the chain brake engaged, the
