2. Keep a good firm grip on the saw with both hands, the right hand on the
rear handle, and the left hand on the front handle, when the engine is
running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain
saw handles. A firm grip will help you reduce kickback and maintain
control of the saw. Don’t let go.
3. 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, or any other obstruction
which could be hit while you are
operating the saw.
4. Cut at high engine speeds.
5. Do not overreach or cut above
shoulder height.
6. Follow manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the
saw chain.
7. Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer or
the equivalent.
Correct Use Of Chain Brake
Chain Brake Operation
• Set the lever in the unlocked
position before starting to cut.
• If the brake is tripped by kickback
reaction, the chain will stop
immediately. Release the throttle to
avoid possible damage to the
engine or clutch.
• Do not attempt to operate the
engine with the brake locked.
Testing The Brake
• Start the engine on a solid level
surface and run at a fast idle until
warm.
• Hold the saw firmly by the handles
and accelerate the engine to a fast
idle.
