m WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and
instructions.
All users of this chain saw must rst
carefully read this maintenance and operating manual and
familiarize themselves fully with all of the controls for its
correct operation.
Safety Rules
1. Replacement parts – When servicing, use only
identical replacement parts.
2. Polarized plugs – To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, this tool has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). The plug will t into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully into the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a
qualied electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way.
3. Keep the work area clean – Cluttered areas invite
injuries. Do not start cutting until you have a clear work
area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path from
falling tree limbs.
4. Consider the work area environment – Use extreme
caution when cutting small size brush and saplings
because the slender material may catch the saw chain
and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
• Do not operate the chain saw in a tree unless
you are specically trained to do so.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be
cautious of spring back so that you will not be
struck when the tension in the wood bers is
released.
• Do not expose the chain saw to rain.
• Do not use the chain saw in damp or wet locations.
• Do not use the chain saw in the presence of
ammable liquids or gases.
5. Guard against electric shock – Avoid body contact
with grounded surfaces, such as metal pipes and wire
fences.
6. Keep children and bystanders away – Do not let
children, pets, or other bystanders contact the chain
saw or extension cord. All spectators should be kept a
safe distance away from the work area.
7. Store idle chain saw – When not in use, chain saws
should be stored in a dry and high or locked-up place
out of the reach of children. When storing the chain
saw, use a scabbard or carrying case.
8. Do not force chain saw – It will do the job better and
with less likelihood of injury if it is used at the rate for
which it was intended.
9. Use the right tool – Cut wood only. Do not use the
chain saw for purposes other than those for which it is
intended. For example, do not cut plastic, masonry, or
non-wood building materials.
10. Dress properly – Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. They can get caught in moving parts. Rubber
gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when
working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
11. Use safety glasses – Also use safety footwear,
snug-tting clothing, protective gloves, hearing and
head protection.
12. Carry the saw properly – Carry the chain saw by
the front handle with the saw stopped, nger off the
switch, and the guide bar and saw chain pointed
toward the rear.
13. Maintain the chain saw with care – Inspect the chain
saw cord periodically and, if damaged is found, have it
repaired by an authorized service facility.
• Keep the cord clear of the saw chain and operator
at all times. Never carry the chain saw by the
cord or pull the cord to disconnect it from the
receptacle. Keep the cord away from oil and sharp
edges.
• Inspect extension cords periodically and replace
them if damaged.
• Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer
performance.
• Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease.
