SAFETYWARNINGS

BEFORE OPERATING SAW1. Read and understand this owner’s

manual before operating chain saw.

2. Watch what you are doing. Use com-mon sense. Do not operate saw whenyou are tired.

3. Use chain saw for cutting wood only.Do not use chain saw for purpose notintended. Do not use for cutting plas-tic, masonry, etc.

4. Only well-instructed adults should op-erate chain saw. Never allow childrento operate chain saw.

5. Use only electrical voltage noted onmodel plate of chain saw.

6. Use only extension cords marked foroutdoor use. See page 8 for extensioncord requirements.

7. Do not operate chain saw• while under the influence of alcohol,

medication, or drugs• in rain or in damp or wet areas• where highly flammable liquids or

gases are present• if saw is damaged, adjusted wrong,

or not fully and securely assembled• if trigger does not turn saw on and off.

Chain must stop moving when yourelease trigger. Have faulty switchreplaced by authorized service center.

• while in a hurry• while in tree or on a ladder unless

trained to do so

8. Wear snug-fitting clothes when oper-ating chain saw. Do not wear looseclothing or jewelry. They can get caughtin moving saw chain.

Make certain you read and un-derstand all Safety Warnings onpages 2 and 3. Improper use ofthis chain saw can cause severeinjury or death from fire, electri-cal shock, body contact withmoving chain, or falling wood.

9. Wear the following safety gear whenoperating chain saw.• heavy-duty gloves (wear rubber

gloves when working outdoors)• steel-toed safety footwear with non-

skid soles• 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 thefollowing:• clear work area• secure footing• planned retreat path from falling tree

11. Inspect tree before cutting down. Makesure there are no dead limbs or branchesthat may fall on you.

12. To reduce the risk of electric shock, thissaw has a polarized plug (one blade iswider than the other). This plug will fitin a polarized outlet only one way. Ifthe plug does not fit fully in the outletof your extension cord, reverse theplug. If it still does not fit, a polarizedextension cord will be necessary. Donot change the plug in any way.

WHILE OPERATING SAW1. Stay alert. Use common sense while

operating chain saw.

2. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areasinvite injuries.

3. Be aware of extension cord while op-erating chain saw. Be careful not to tripover cord. Keep cord away from chainand operator at all times.

4. Keep children, animals, and bystand-ers away from chain saw and extensioncord. Only chain saw user should be inwork area.

5. Do not cut down a tree unless you aretrained or have expert help.

6. If two or more persons perform buck-ing and felling operations at the sametime, provide plenty of distance betweenoperations. Provide distance of at leasttwice the height of tree being felled.

7. Secure wood you are cutting by usingclamps or chocks.

8. Grip chain saw firmly with both hands.Never operate chain saw with one hand.Never use hand guard as handle.

9. Keep finger off trigger until ready tomake cut.

10. Before starting chain saw, make surechain is not touching anything.

11. To guard against electrical shock, avoidbody contact with grounded objectssuch as pipes, fences, and metal posts.

12. Keep all parts of body away from chainwhen saw is running.

13. Do not force chain saw while cutting.Apply light pressure. It will do the jobbetter and safer at the rate for which itwas intended.

14. Cut small brush and saplings with ex-treme care. Slender material may catchin chain and be whipped toward you.This could also pull you off balance.

15. When cutting limb or tree trunk that isunder tension, use extreme caution. Bealert for wood springing back. Whenwood tension is released, limb couldspring back and strike operator caus-ing severe injury or death.

16. Carry chain saw from one place to an-other• 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

children’s reach• in a dry place• in a carrying case or with scabbard

over guide bar

Keep this manual for reference. It is yourguide to safe and proper operation of thischain saw.

• Never try cutting through two logs atsame time. Only cut one log at a time.

• Do not bury guide bar nose or try plungecut (boring into wood using guide barnose).

• Watch for shifting of wood or otherforces that may pinch chain.

• Use extreme caution when re-entering aprevious cut.

• Use low-kickback chain and guide barsupplied with this chain saw. Only re-place these parts with chains and guidebars listed in this manual.

• Never use dull or loose chain. Keep chainsharp with proper tension.

• Do not hand sharpen chain on automaticchain sharpening (Fast Sharp) models.

Saw Maintenance and KickbackSafety

Follow maintenance instructions in thismanual. Proper cleaning of saw and chainand guide bar maintenance can reducechances of kickback. Inspect and maintainsaw after each use. This will increase theservice life of your saw. Note: Even withproper sharpening, risk of kickback canincrease with each sharpening.

WARNING: Kickback may oc-cur when the nose or tip of theguide bar touches an object, orwhen the wood closes in andpinches the saw chain in the cut.Tip contact in some cases maycause a lightning fast reverse re-action, kicking the guide bar upand back towards the operator.Pinching the saw chain along thetop of the guide bar may push theguide bar rapidly back towardsthe operator. Either of these re-actions may cause you to losecontrol of the saw which couldresult in serious injury to user.

WARNING: Do not cut all theway through tree. Leave abouttwo inches of tree diameter un-cut directly behind felling notch(see Figure 12). This uncut por-tion acts as a hinge. The hingehelps keep tree from twisting andfalling in wrong direction.

WARNING: Be alert for fallingoverhead limbs. Watch your foot-ing while exiting area.

Felling is the process of cutting down a tree.Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feetapart. Divide your weight evenly on bothfeet. Follow directions below to fell a tree.

Before Felling a Tree1. Before felling, inspect tree. Make sure

there are no dead limbs or branches thatmay fall on you. Study natural lean oftree, location of larger branches, andwind direction. This will help you judgewhich way tree will fall.

2. Clear work area around tree.

3. Plan and clear a retreat path before fell-ing. Make retreat path opposite toplanned direction of fall of tree and at45° angle (see Figure 11).

4. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails,staples, and wire from tree where youwill make felling cuts.

5. Stay on uphill side when felling tree.Tree could roll or slide downhill afterfalling.

WARNING:• Avoid kickback. Kickback can

result in severe injury or death.See Kickback , page 3 to avoidrisk of kickback.

• Do not fell a tree without ampleskill or expert help.

• Keep children, animals, andbystanders away from areawhen felling a tree.

• If two or more persons performbucking and felling operations

WARNING: When felling atree, be aware of your surround-ings. Do not endanger any per-son, strike utility lines, or causeproperty damage. If tree strikesutility lines, contact utility com-pany at once.

FELLING A TREE(Cutting Down a Tree)

Felling ProcedureA) Felling Notch

A properly placed felling notch will deter-mine direction tree will fall. Place fellingnotch on side of tree in direction you wanttree to fall (see Figure 12). Follow direc-tions below to create a felling notch.

1. Make lower notch cut as close toground as possible. Hold saw so guidebar is horizontal. Cut 1/3 the diameterof tree trunk (see Figure 12). Note: Al-ways make this horizontal lower notchcut first. If you make this cut second,tree can pinch chain or guide bar.

2. Start upper notch cut the same distanceabove first cut as first cut is deep.

Example: If lower notch cut is eightinches deep, start upper notch cut eightinches above it. Cut downward at 45°angle. The upper notch cut should meetend of lower notch cut (see Figure 12).

3. Remove tree trunk wedge created bynotching cuts.

B) Felling Cut1. Make felling cut two inches higher than

lower notch cut and on opposite sideof tree (see Figure 12). Keep felling cutparallel to lower notch cut.

2. Cut towards notch.

3. As felling cut nears hinge, tree shouldbegin to fall. Note: If needed, drivewedges into felling cut to control di-rection of fall. If tree settles back andpinches chain, drive wedges into fell-ing cut to remove saw. Only use wedgesmade of wood, plastic, or aluminum.Never use wedge made of steel. Thiscould cause kickback and damage tochain.

4. When tree begins to fall, quickly• remove saw from felling cut• release trigger to turn saw off• put saw down• exit area using retreat path

WARNING: Avoid kickback.Kickback can result in severe in-jury or death. See Kickback, page3 to avoid risk of kickback.

WARNING:• If on slope, make sure log will

not roll down hill. Secure logby using wooden stakes. Drivewooden stakes into ground ondownhill side of log. Stand onuphill side of log while cutting.Log may roll after cutting.

• Never try cutting through twologs at same time. This couldincrease the risk of kickback.

• While cutting log, never holdlog with your hand, leg, or foot.

• While cutting log, never allowanother person to hold log.

• Turn off and unplug saw be-fore moving from one place toanother.

Bucking a log is cutting a log into sections.Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feetapart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet.When possible, raise log or section off ground.Do this by using limbs, logs, chocks, etc.

When cutting through log, maintain controlby reducing cutting pressure near end of cut.Do not relax your grip on chain saw handles.Do not let moving chain touch ground.Ground will dull moving chain. After cut-ting through log, release trigger to turn sawoff before moving saw.

Follow directions below to buck a log.

LIMBING A TREE

Figure 13 - Limbing A Tree

WARNING: When cutting limbthat is under tension, use extremecaution. Be alert for wood spring-ing back. When wood tension isreleased, limb could spring backand strike operator causing se-vere injury or death.


Limbing is removing branches from a fallentree. Make sure your footing is firm. Keepfeet apart. Divide your weight evenly onboth feet. Do not remove larger limbs undertree that support log off ground. Removeeach limb with one cut (see Figure 13).Clear cut limbs from work area often. Thiswill help maintain a safe work area.

Make sure you start your cut where limbwill not pinch saw during cutting. To avoidpinching, start cut on freely hanging limbsfrom above limb. Start cut on limbs undertension from under limb. If pinch occurs,turn saw off, lift limb, and remove saw.

• do not use chlorinated clean-ing solvents, carbon tetrachlo-ride, kerosene, or gasoline

CARE OF GUIDE BARUneven bar wear causes most guide barproblems. Incorrect sharpening of chaincutter and depth gauge settings often causethis. When bar wears unevenly, it widensguide bar groove (see Figure 18). This causeschain clatter and rivet popping. Saw will notcut straight. Replace guide bar if this occurs.

Inspect guide bar before sharpening chain.A worn or damaged guide bar is unsafe. Aworn or damaged guide bar will damagechain. It will also make cutting harder.

Keep saw body clean. Use a soft cloth damp-ened with a mild soap and water mixture.Wipe saw body to clean.
