tion.
A chain saw is intended for
two-handed use.
WARNING:
Avoid kickback which

lated outdoor area.
can result in serious injury. Kickback is the
backward,upwardorsuddenforwardmotion
of the guide bar occurring when the saw
chainnear theupper tip oftheguidebarcon-
tacts any object such as a log or branch, or
when the wood closes in and pinches the
saw chaininthecut.Contactingaforeignob-
ject in the wood can also result in loss of
chain saw control.
S Donotoperatesawfromaladder orinatree.
S Make sure the chain will not make contact
with any object while starting the engine.
Never try to start the saw when the guide
bar is in a cut.
S Do notput pressureon thesaw atthe endof
the cut. Applying pressure can cause you to
lose control when the cut is completed.
S Stop the engine before setting the saw
down.
S Do not operate a chain saw that is dam-
aged, improperly adjusted, or not com-
pletely and securely assembled. Always
replace bar, chain, hand guard, or chain
brakeimmediately ifit becomes damaged,
broken or is otherwise removed.
S With the engine stopped, hand carry the
chain saw with the muffler away from your
body, and the guide bar and chain to the
rear, preferably covered with a scabbard.
S Rotational Kickback can occur when the
moving chain contacts an objectat theup-
per tip of the guide bar. This contact can
cause the chain to dig into the object,
which stops the chain for an instant. The
result is a lightning fast, reverse reaction
which kicks the guide bar up and back to-
ward the operator.
S Pinch-Kickback can occur when the the
wood closes in and pinches the moving
saw chain in the cut along the top of the
guide bar and the saw chain is suddenly
stopped. This sudden stopping of the
chain results in a reversal of the chain
force used to cut wood and causes the
sawtomoveintheoppositedirectionofthe
chain rotation. The saw is driven straight
back toward the operator.
