WORK AREA PRECAUTIONS
• 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 chainsaw who has
not read this instruction manual or received adequate instructions for the safe and proper
use of this chainsaw.
• Keep everyone — helpers, bystanders, children, and animals — a SAFE DISTANCE from
the cutting area. During felling operations, the safe distance should be at least twice the
height of the largest trees in the felling area. During bucking operations, keep a minimum
distance of 15’ (4.6 m) 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 buildings. Leave this operation for professionals.
• Cut only when visibility and light are adequate for you to see clearly.

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.
• Check the tree for damaged or dead branches that could fall and hit you
during felling.
• Periodically glance at the top of the tree during the backcut to assure the
tree is going to fall in the desired direction.
• If the tree starts to fall in the wrong direction, or if the saw gets caught or
hung up during the fall, leave the saw and save yourself.
• Do not fell trees during periods of high wind or heavy precipitation. Wait
until the hazardous weather has ended. When felling a tree, it is important
that you heed the following warnings to prevent possible serious injury.
