• Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make sure they work properly.

• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.

• Keep solid footing and balance at all times.

• Stand slightly to left side of saw. This keeps your body from being in direct line with chain.

• Do not let guide bar nose touch anything when chain is moving.

• Never try cutting through two logs at same time. Only cut one log at a time.

• Do not bury the guide bar nose or try plunge cut (boring into wood using guide bar nose).

• Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that may pinch chain.

• Use extreme caution when reentering a previous cut.

• Use only the low-kickback chain and Guide Bar (9) that were supplied with this chainsaw or

recommended.

• Never use a dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp with proper tension.
