PREPARING FOR CUTTING
A. Proper grip on handles
See General Safety Rules for appropriate safety equipment.
• Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
• Hold the saw firmly with both hands. Always keep your
left hand on the front handle and
your right hand on the rear handle so that your body is to the left of the chain line.
• Maintain a proper grip on the saw whenever the motor is running. The fingers should
encircle the handle and the thumb is wrapped under the handlebar. This grip is least likely
to be broken by a kickback or other sudden
reaction of the saw. Any grip in which the
thumb and fingers are on the same side of the handle is dangerous because a slight kick of
the saw can cause
loss of control.

Operation
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 saw. Never use a left-handed (cross-handed) grip
or any stance that would place your body or arm across the
chain line.
