WARNING
Do not operate the trigger
switch with your left hand
and hold the front handle with your right
hand. Never allow any part of your body to
be in the chain line while operating a chain

)
.
Proper Cutting Stance (Fig. 13)
•
Both feet should be on solid ground, with
weight evenly spread between them.
•
The left arm should be straight, with the
elbow locked. This helps to withstand the
forces generated by kickback.
•
Your body should always be to the left of the
chain line.
Cutting
WARNING
Always be sure of your footing and hold the chain saw firmly with
both hands while the motor is running.
Basic Cutting
It is recommended that the rst time user should have practical instruction in the use of the
chain saw and the protective equipment from an experienced operator and that the initial
practice should be cutting logs on a saw horse or cradle.
1.
Always hold the product rmly with both hands: front handle with the left hand and rear
handle with the right hand. Fully grip both handles at all times during operation. Never
operate the product using only one hand.
2. Take the proper stance in front of the wood with the saw turned off.
3. Press the lock-off button and squeeze the trigger switch to start the chain saw. Let the chain
reach the full speed before beginning the cut.
4. Begin cutting by lightly pressing the guide bar and chain against the wood. Use only light
pressure, letting the saw do the work.
5. Maintain a steady speed throughout the cut, releasing pressure just before the end of the cut.
6. Be careful when reaching the end of the cut. The weight of the product may change
unexpectedly as it cuts free from the wood. This can cause accidents to the legs and feet.
Always remove the saw from a wood cut while the saw is running. Release the trigger switch
as soon as the cut is completed, allowing the chain to stop.
