See Figures 11 - 12.
Refer to General Power Tool Safety Rules earlier
in this manual 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.
WARNING:
Never use a left-handed (cross-handed) grip, or
any stance which would place your body or arm
across the chain line. Improper operation of the
chain saw could result in serious personal injury.
 Maintain a proper grip on the saw whenever
the unit is running. The fingers should encircle
the handle and the thumb is wrapped under the
handlebar. This grip is least likely to be broken
