READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING

BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• DO NOT rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into the unit.

• DO NOT allow the unit to be used as a toy.

• Please read the entire operator’s manual carefully before attempting to assemble, operate or

maintain the unit.

• Follow all safety instructions. Failure to do so can result in property damage or serious injury to

yourself and/or others.

• Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use of the unit. Know how to stop the unit

and disengage the controls quickly.

• Stay alert! Do not operate the unit when tired, ill or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.

• Never allow children to operate the unit. Never allow adults to operate the unit without proper instruction.

• Make sure that all guards and safety attachments are properly installed before operating the unit.

• Keep these instructions. Refer to them often and use them to instruct other users. If loaning

someone this unit, also loan them these instructions.

• Keep bystanders, especially children and pets, at least 50 feet (15 m) away. If anyone enters the

work area, stop the unit!

• Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries. Do not start cutting until the work area is clear

and free from obstructions, there is secure footing and a planned retreat path from falling branches.

• Always wear appropriate eye and ear/hearing protection when operating this unit. Wear safety

goggles, or safety glasses with side shields, that are marked as meeting ANSI Z87.1-1989

standards. Failure to do so could result in serious eye injury caused by thrown or falling objects. If

the operation is dusty, wear a face mask or dust mask. Use a hard hat or other type of safety helmet.

• Dress appropriately, wear heavy, snug-fitting clothes (long pants and a long sleeve shirt), non-slip

protective gloves and steel-toed safety boots. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, short pants,

sandals or go barefoot. Secure hair above shoulder level to prevent entanglement in moving parts.

• Only use the unit in daylight or good artificial light.

• Only use the unit for its intended purpose: to cut wood. Only use the unit as described in this

manual. Only use the manufacturer’s recommended attachments with this unit.

UNDERSTANDING KICKBACK

• Rotational Kickback can happen when the upper tip of

the guide bar contacts an object while the chain is

moving (Fig. 1 & 2). This can cause the chain to dig into

the object and momentarily stop moving. The guide bar

is then kicked up and back toward the operator in a

lightning-fast reverse reaction.

• Pinch Kickback can happen when the wood on either

side of a cut closes in and pinches the moving saw chain

along the top of the guide bar. This can cause the chain

to instantly stop. The chain force is then reversed,

causing the saw to move in the opposite direction,

sending the saw straight back toward the operator.

• Pull-In can happen when the moving chain on the bottom

of the guide bar hits a foreign object inside the wood. This

can cause the chain to suddenly stop. The saw is then

pulled forward and away from the operator, which could

potentially result in the loss of control of the saw.

KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• DO NOT over reach.

• DO NOT cut above shoulder height.

• DO NOT make cuts with the tip of the guide bar (Fig. 1).

• DO NOT let the tip of the guide bar contact any object,

such as a log, branch, ground or other obstruction.

Remove or avoid any obstructions that might impact the

tip of the guide bar while cutting (Fig. 3).

• DO NOT cut more than one log or branch at a time.

• DO NOT twist the saw when removing the guide bar

from an undercut while bucking.

• DO NOT operate the unit with one hand! Serious injury to

the operator, helpers or bystanders may result from one-

handed operation. This unit is intended for two-handed

use. Always grip the unit firmly with both hands when the

engine is running. Keep the left hand on the front handle

and the right hand on the rear handle. Use a firm grip with

thumbs and fingers encircling the handles. A firm grip will

help maintain control of the unit and reduce kickback. Do

not let go! Stand slightly to the left of the unit to avoid

being in the direct line of the saw chain. Follow all the

Proper Grip on Handles instructions in the Operating Instructions section.

SPARK ARRESTOR NOTE

NOTE: For users on U.S. Forest Land and in the states of California, Maine, Oregon and

Washington. All U.S. Forest Land and the state of California (Public Resources Codes 4442 and

4443), Oregon and Washington require, by law that certain internal combustion engines operated on

forest brush and/or grass-covered areas be equipped with a spark arrestor, maintained in effective

working order, or the engine be constructed, equipped and maintained for the prevention of fire.

Check with your state or local authorities for regulations pertaining to these requirements. Failure to

follow these requirements could subject you to liability or a fine. This unit is factory equipped with a

spark arrestor. If it requires replacement, ask your LOCAL SERVICE DEALER to install the

Accessory Part #753-06268 Muffler.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65

Engine exhaust, some of its constituents and certain finished

components contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer

and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

Kickback

Fig. 2

Kickback Danger Zone

Fig. 1

Rotational Kickback

DANGER:

Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an

object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. In some cases, tip

contact may cause a lightening-fast reverse action, kicking the guide bar rapidly back towards

the operator. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar

rapidly back towards the operator. Either of these reactions may cause a loss of control over the

saw, which could result in serious injury to the user. Contact with foreign objects within the wood

can also induce a loss of chain saw control.
