OPERATION
Taketheproperstanceinfrontofthewoodwith
the saw off.
Squeezetheswitch triggerandletthechain
acceleratetofullspeedbeforeenteringthecut.
 Begin cutting with the saw against the log.
Keeptheunitrunningtheentiretimeyouare
cutting,maintainasteadyspeed.
Allowthechaintocutforyou;exertonlylight
downwardpressure.Ifyouforcethecut,dam-
age to the bar, chain, or unit can result.
 Release the switch trigger as soon as the cut
iscompleted,allowingthechaintostop.Ifyou
run the saw without a cutting load, unnecessary
wear can occur to the chain, bar, and unit.
Donotputpressureonthesawattheendofcut.
WORK AREA PRECAUTIONS
See Figure 13.
 Cut only wood or materials made from wood,
nosheet metal,no plastics,no masonry,no
non-wood building materials.
Neverallowchildrentooperatethesaw.Allow
nopersontousethischainsawwhohasnot
readthisOperator’sManualorreceivedade-
quateinstructionsforthesafeandproperuse
of this chain saw.

FIG. 13
Keepeveryone-helpers,bystanders,children,
and animals - a safe distance from the cutting
area.During felling operations,the safe dis-
tance should be a least twice the height of the
largest trees in the felling area. During bucking
operations,keepaminimumdistanceof15feet
between workers.
Alwayscutwithbothfeetonsolidgroundto
preventbeingpulledoffbalance.
Donotcutabovechestheight,asasawheld
higher is difficult to control against kickback
forces.
 Do not fell trees near electrical wires or build-
ings.Leavethisoperationforprofessionals.
Cutonlywhenvisibilityandlightareadequate
for you to see clearly.
FELLING TREES
See Figures 13 - 16.
HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS
WARNING:
Donotfelltreesduringperiodsofhighwindor
heavyprecipitation.Waituntil thehazardous
weather has ended.
WARNING:
Closely check for broken or dead branches,
which could fall while cutting and do not cut
near buildings or electrical wires if you do not
know the direction of tree fall. Do not cut at
night or during bad weather conditions, such as
rain, snow, or strong winds, which can reduce
visibilityandcontrolofthechainsaw.Ifthetree
you are felling makes contact with any utility
line, you should discontinue use of the chain
sawandimmediatelynotifytheutilitycompany.
Failure to follow these instructions could result
indeathorseriouspersonalinjury.
Whenfellingatree,itisveryimportantthatyou
closely follow these warnings and instructions to
preventpossibledeathorseriouspersonalinjury.
Donotcutdowntreeshavinganextremelean
or large trees with rotten limbs, loose bark,
orhollowtrunks.Havethesetreespushedor
draggeddownwithheavyequipment,thencut
themup.
 Do not cut trees near electrical wires or buildings.
