6.   STAY  ALERT: Watch what  you are  doing. Use  com-
mon sense. Do  not operate the  chain saw when  you
are tired. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw
chain when  the motor  is  operating. Before you  start
the saw,  make sure  the saw  chain is  not contacting
anything.
1.     DO  NOT   operate  a  chain   saw  that  is   damaged,
improperly adjusted,  or not  completely and  securely
assembled. Be sure that  the saw chain stops moving
when the trigger is released.
2.     DO NOT  attempt operations beyond your  capacity or
experience.
3.     DO NOT operate a chain saw with  one hand! Serious
injury  to  the  operator,  helpers,  or  bystanders  may
result  from  one-handed  operation.  A  chain  saw  is
intended for two-handed use.
TO REDUCE potential for electric shock, do not oper-
ate  the saw  on  wet  or  slippery surfaces,  or  during
snow storms, rain storms, and other  adverse weather
conditions.
Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or grease.
DO NOT  allow dirt, debris  or sawdust to  build up  on
the motor or outside air vents.
Follow  the  manufacturer’s  sharpening   and  mainte-
nance instructions for the saw chain.
Cut at high motor speeds.
Operation  of  a  chain  saw   should  be  restricted  to
mature, properly instructed individuals.
Your chain saw is intended for occasional homeowner
use. It is not made for continuous heavy  duty use.
1.   DO NOT FORCE  a small saw to do  a job requiring a
heavier duty unit.
2.   EXAMINE  THE  ELECTRICAL  SWITCHES.  Do  not
use the chain saw if the switches do not  properly turn
on and off. Do not attempt  to make any repairs to the
electric  switches.  Take   your  saw   to  a   McCulloch
Authorized Service Center.
MAINTAIN EXTENSION  CORDS. Inspect  the exten-
sion cords periodically  and replace if  damaged. Only
use power cords that  are suitably marked for outdoor
use.
DO  NOT   OPERATE  YOUR  CHAIN  SAW   near  or
around flammable liquids  or gases, whether in or  out
of doors. An explosion and/or fire may result.
5.   All chain saw service, other than the items listed in the
user  manual  safety   and  maintenance  instructions,
should be performed by competent chain saw person-
nel. Do not  attempt to repair  it yourself; there  are no
user serviceable parts inside.
10.   A chain  saw is intended for two-handed  use. Serious
injury to the operator,  helpers, and/or bystanders
could result from one-handed operation.
11.
12.   When  carrying a  chain saw  with the  motor  running,
engage the chain brake.

7.   CHECK DAMAGED PARTS: Before further use  of the
chain  saw,  a  guard or  other  part  that  is  damaged
should be  carefully checked  to  determine that  it will
operate  properly  and perform  its  intended  function.
Check for alignment of  moving parts, binding of mov-
ing parts, breakage of parts,  mounting, and any other
conditions  that may  affect  its operation.  A  guard or
other   part   that  is   damaged   should  be   properly
repaired or replaced  by an authorized  service center
unless otherwise  indicated elsewhere  in this instruc-
tion manual.
18.   Safety clothing required  by your safety organizations,
government regulations,  or your  employer should be
used; otherwise, snug fitting clothing, safety footwear,
safety chaps and hand and ear protection should  be
worn.
Keep other persons  or animals a  safe distance away
from a running  chain saw or the area where  a tree is
being felled.
Use  extreme caution  when  cutting small  brush  and
saplings because slender material  can catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you.

19.
When  felling, keep  at  least  two (2) tree  lengths
between yourself and your fellow workers.
NOTE: Low-kickback  saw chain is  chain that has  met the
kickback performance requirements of ANSI/UL 1662-1995
and is in accordance withCAN/CSA-Z62.1-03.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
FOR CHAIN SAW USERS
18. GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK:
2-5.   MORE ABOUT KICKBACK
WARNING
7.
WARNING:    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 lightening fast  reverse
action, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the oper-
ator. Pinching the saw chain along the top of  the guide bar
may push the guide bar  rapidly back towards the operator.
Either of these  reactions may cause you to  lose control of
the saw which could result in serious injury to the user.The
following precautions should  be followed to  minimize kick-
back:
1.
Fatigue   causes   carelessness.   Be  more   cautious
before rest periods and towards the  end of your shift.
8.
9.
DANGER! BEWARE OF KICKBACK!
2.
Personal  protective clothing  required  by  your  safety
organizations,    government    regulations,    or   your
employer should  be used. At  all times  when using a
chain saw,  snug-fitting clothing,  safety chaps protec-
tive eye  wear, safety footwear, and hand, leg, and
hearing protection should be worn.
Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of control of the chain
saw and result in serious or fatal injury to  the saw operator
or to  anyone standing  close by.  Always be  alert because
rotational kickback and pinch kickback are major chain saw
operational dangers  and the  leading cause  of most  acci-
dents.

Plan your  work, ensuring an  obstacle-free work  area
and, in  the case  of felling,  at least one  escape path
from the falling tree.
